PEARLS PEARL NECKLACES S. Kind & Sons, mo chestnut st. DIAMOND MEIICHANTS JEWEMCRS SILVEIISIHTHS ap It is not by accident that the Chestnut Street Shops hove como to be regarded as representative of the most reliable and most efficient business houses in the country. The policy which has made these stores known, not only in Philadelphia, but throughout the United States, as shops which Jiandle articles of the finest quality and whoso salespeople have been carefully trained, as well in the art of -courteous-ness as in the science of salesmanship, is the result, in many cases, of years of effort on the part of individual houses and is aided and fur thered by the Chestnut Street Association. "DERHAPS it is because we sec so many well-dressed people in elec tric cars that vc are apt to assume that they are only for the wealthy. It is really a fact, however, that the initial cost is not prohibitive, nor is the upkeep a matter for concern. Taking all things into consideration, the upkeep is less than gas-car up keep, and for city use and short runs .they are moot practical. Another reason why we see so many well dressed people in electric cars is be cause one has no fear of soiling one's handsomest gown when driving an electric. And one reason why the electric car is much in evidence at the opera and at social functions is because of its ease of operation and the feeling of absolute security which the driver of an electric always feels. WAFFLES! Crisp, evenly dous accompaniment to breakfast, I luncheon or dinner. The first es sential to success in the making of them is a good waffle iron, such as tho Griswold Waffle Iron, which I aw at the store of J Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut street. It has a protecting ring which prevents the batter from spattering over the stove. One kind of iron has a very deep ring, which raises the iron from the stove and obviates thirnecessity of lifting the waffle pans when turn ing them. You may have this iron with either the round or square pans. Did you know thnt It is possible to make date waffles, whole wheat Taisln waffles and buttermilk waffles, besides the breakfast waffles, which we all like so well ? EVERY man seems to feel, some-1 how, that a new tie expresses' better than anything else his joy in the coming of spring, and those wives who are good psychologists are be ginning to evince great interest in the interesting assortment of neck wear nt the store of Jacob Reed' Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut street. There are grenadines from Italy, loomed by hand. They show a moire stripe with! jacquard polka-dots. The French! moire silk scarfs are very much' Jlkcd, for they are pliable and not at' nil bulky. The Scotchspun scarfs, which are exclusive with Reeds', are homespun in Scotland and are very. serviceable. Reeds' have an excel-1 lent assortment of polka-dot and' striped scarfs, as well as the well Jiked knit and crocheted scaifs. p ASTER Gift-Baskets of Fruit in Halle-well's window are cay with all the colors of spring. Lach basket Is truly a work of art, with its fruiU so exquisitely arranged In the baBkots'are Peaches, Plums and Nee-1 tarines from South Africa, their bright colors forming .-.Lriking con trasts to those huge black Hothouse I Grapes from Belgium and the pearl- j colored Spanish Almenas. Here and there a Beurre d'Anjou Pear adds a note of gold color, and delicious, Florida Strawberries look most tempting. They make a gift that is at once unique and charming. Henry It. Ilallowell & Son, Broad street be-1 low Chestnut, are making special ar-i rangements to handle shipments of v..i Clft.Rnskets of Fruit tn out., hf-town points. Perfect delivery is guaranteed 1000 miles. &ZbrymJhs $&vfo TOASTER bunnies of chocolate, -J wholesome and delicious, arc be ginning to make their presence felt, to judge from the rapturous expres-1 sions on the faces of some of the) kiddies whom I have seen recently in) Yahn-McDonnell's store, at 1508 Chestnut street. One of these at each small plate on Easter morning will be the source of no end of de light. The hollow chocolate eggs filled with chocolates and bonbons look most tempting, too. They have iau me cnocoiate cream eggs and, the cream cocoanut eggs, and it. means so much to the youngsters if' they discover their own names on them that it is really worth while! making certain of having this done,! so you should leave your order early. ', All of these Easter candies and eggsl are made in Yahn & McDonnell's own factory above their store. I I ilVER SO Trmnv npnnln nro nlnnninn - to send their Easter greetings this year on stationery appropriate to tho season, and what could be daintier than the lavender and' lnvender-and-white letter paper at the store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company? When your stationery bears the name of this firm it means, of course, that it is of tho very finest quality. Those who prefer sending Easter cards will find truly exquisite ones at Bailey's. Many of them are hand-colored, and all voice the senti ments which we wish to convey at this season. A box of stationery is a most appropriate Easter gift, and a visit to the stationery department, which, by the way, has been enlarged during the past year, will suggest to you many possibilities. HPHERE'S a surprise awaiting you - in the excellent values in spring footwear which I have discovered in the second-floor shop of Del Mar & Co., at 1211 Chestnut street. A dark brown wnlking oxford that is dis tinctive in character has comfortable-looking military heels, which invite to pleasant hikes along coun try roads. The snug-fitting one eyelet tie?, which have the lithe grace of the French shoes combined with the smartness characteristic of our own American models, are charming in brown or dull black leather. They look so well with the spring tailleur or the one-piece dress. Patent leather pumps, which nre really indispensable if one would be correctly dressed, are remarkably lensonable in price at the Del Mar shop. A N INTERESTING article on up- - noisiereci turniture in the cur tent number of a woman's magazine contains timely hints on methods of knowing good furniture from that of poor quality. "To test upholstered furniture, sit on it," advises this writer. "If it is soft and billowy, ,et firm and resilient, it is well built. If it has life and vitality, if it seems to welcome you as you settle into it and ns.sists you to leave with equal alacrity, it is a well-upholstered piece of furniture " So well do these words describe the English Down Furniture made by H. D. Dougherty & Co , 1632 Chestnut street, that I can do no better than quote them. It pays in the end to buy from a re liable house, and one good piece is worth two"suites"of doubtful origin. ' X rrUlE afternoon frock for spring is u thing of bouffant draperies and of tucks and frills and ruffles, such as the dainty little affair of navy blue taffeta which I saw at the Caspar shop, 1120" Chestnut street. It was a chemise dress, a French model, such as they are wearing in Paris, without h girdle. This may be worn, however, with a narrow ribbon girdle of marine blue. Rows and rows of finely pleated ruffles give Jt a dolightfully wry effect. This frock has a vesteo of organdie, tucked and lace trimmed. "A ffowh on more stately lines is of navy crepe Georgette, weighted heavily jrtU crystal beads in a kind of Bpider-web pattern. The styles arc exclu- lulY, for th is a "one-of-a-kind shpp," yet they aro moderately priced. T.
