The "ColleRe Campus" is a light weight, rather rakish hat for sport wear, and the "Collegian" is a soft nat. ratner more conservative, rne well-dressed man will want either one or the other for spring wear. Fabric hats and caps arc coming into favor with the advent of spring, and for real service and style you can make no hotter choice than those which you will find at Reeds'. PARIS is doing marvelous things with lace this season, and on n dainty, summery frock at the Casnnr Gown Shon. 1120 Chestnut ! Street, I saw a panel of lace used most effectively. It was a frock of filmy chiffon, patterned in pastel colors faint mauve and palest yel- low. Its girdle was of yellow and a I green. There was a vestee of the ,' j lace and a panel from waist to hem. ,.. i The chifTon was draped nt the hips. i i A navy crepe Georgette striped with , i rose made a lovely afternoon dress - which I sow at the same shop. The bodice was simply made with col A I larlcss neck and short sleeves and ' there was a girdle of nccordion- , pleated black taffeta, the pleats - seemingly held in place by a band '' of bright red satin The skirt was j tucked under jn true harem style. HAND-PAINTED Gift Bas ket filled with the choicest of fruits from the store of Henry R. Hallowell & Son, Broad Street below Chestnut, makes an Raster gift that is truly typical of this joyous season. One basket which I admired particularly at Hallowell's had a background of soft green and a bright dash of purple in its design was most effective. Great clusters I of black Hothouse Grapes from 1 Belgium, deliciously sweet Plums from bouth Africa, delicately col ored Beurre d'Anjou Pears, crisp Spanish Almeria Grapes and other luscious fruits artistically arranged in the basket formed a rich, glowing mass of color, and taste even more delicious than they look. An Easter i gift such as this is both charming l and unique. A PERU EMPLOYS G0RGAS M.l.l .. -. I IS Former Surgeon Qtneml Accept Flva-Ytar Contract Lima, Peru, April 1. (Hy A-. P.)

P8I New .Terser horl inel, Hog-Hhoal buoy ,0. ,1 F YOU are looking for something new and different as a slight token of vour rezard for the man of the house at Easter time, you will be glad to hear of the re cent importation of French hand kerchiefs which has been received bv MncDonald & Campbell, 1334-36 Chestnut Street. The French have a way of persuading linens to take on colors that no other country seems to have acquired, and these nt MacDonald & Campbell's bear witness to their skill. There is a blue the real Fiench blue a won- erful rose, a orignt orange, a son. iimlo nnrl n verv snrinsrlike green. They are in various patterns, dotted nnd atrincd. nnd some have solid borders. The linen is of finest qual ity, and the handkerchiefs are all hand-hemmed or hand-homstitched. TRUE economy in shoe buying lies in purchasing a shoe that ru l. nnfninn Tkts is nnlv possible when one has the co-operation of courteous salespeople, as one nssuredly has at the second floor shop of Del Mar & Co., 1211 Chestnut Street. There is a shoe for every foot, nnd the expert shoe salesman knows just the kind of shoe that will feel most comfortable on your foot that will not pinch at the" instep nor rub at the heel. He can tell at a glance wjiat shoe is best suited to the lines of your foot. This kind of service means a gTeat deal to the busy woman who would bo well dressed! She will make no mistake if she huvs her Easter shoes at the store of Del Mar & Co., for they have the very newest in pumps and oxfords. j F YOU have not visited the crys- tal department at the store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Com pany during the past month, you will be surprised, I know, at the number of new and lovely things that have arrived. Delicately cut candy -jars, gracefully shapod com potes, useful little marmalade jars would all make most acceptable Easter gifts. A long, low dish, cx nuisitelv cut and beautifully shaped, would make a lovely centerpiece for the dining table. The use of fruit as a centerpiece, a custom long in favor in England, is becoming very popular on this side of the ocean, and when one possesses such a beautiful dish as this, one feels that it is not only a work of art in itself, but that it is worthy of holding the rarest and loveliest of fruits.

The Easter bunny to grace the, center ' of the Easter basket is of solid s chocolate, from its funnv little tail to its upstanding ears. Each basket I 6hould have its name-egg, and you j may have them lettered at Yahn & McDonnell's. Thera are cream- eoconnut and plain cream eggs. besides the hollow chocolate eggs, f ' which open to reveal chocolates and bonbons. O EASTER bride should begin housekeeping without an Ideal Fireless Cookstove. Not merely because it is of so much value as a time-and-labor saver, but as well because the food is properly cooked. The scientific con struction and patented features which are exclusive with the Ideal insure the success of every dish cooked in it, whether it be roasted, baked, steamed or boiled. The econ omies in fuel nnd food are other considerations which are important. The ideal Fireless Cookstove is lined with aluminum of extra thick ness, and the equipment includes, besides cooking utensils, a radiator thermometer, which eliminates guesswork. You will fyid the Ideal Firolecs Cookstove at the store of J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut Street. WHAT qunlities do you uesiro in the car which is to serve your pleasure day in, day out, and all the year 'round? First, simple mechnnism, which means a deliverance from starting and stall ing troubles. Second, comfort, which includes soft, luxurious cushions, smooth running and easy entrance and exit, unobstructed by seats. Third, economy of operation and upkeep. Surely, you will acknowl edge that if these three good points can be united in one car, it must bo 1 the ideal car. Owners of the Milburp and Rauch & Lang electric cars are enthusiastic i aver their merits, and you will be, too, once you see them at tho show rooms of George Hugh Smith, Inc., 1835 Chestnut atreet, where you THERE are many people who accept complacently their doc tor's suggestion that they de vote eight hours to work, eight to recreation and eight to sleep, con sidering that if they retire, say at 10 and arise at 7 they have dono all that could be expected of them. Yet they have not slept, perhaps; but have spent the night tossing on an uncomfortable bed. The doctor's prescription should have included a ma'ttress of curled horsehair and a boxspring made by II. D. Dougherty & Co., 1632 Chestnut Street. The Dougherty mattress i3 carefully made, and the pure curled horsehair with which it is filled is the most sanitary and elastic of materialB. The luxurious boxspring should complement it always, if you would have healthful rest a thing assured. nOOD.LOOKINcTailk shirts, all ready for Easter, are making - flini,.

There are heavy crepe de chines, striped in bright greens nnd blues and lavenders, and silk broad cloths with narrow pin-stripes in various colors for the man of con servative tastes. The French nov elty silks make vory attractive shirts, and there is an unusually interesting assortment of brown strined silk broadcloths. Neckwear is always favored as an Easter gift, and Marshall & Bush have n new knitted tie which is a bit out of the ordinary. It has embroidered dots which are most effective. They havo also the fashion-knitted ties, with a band which keeps them from stretching. SPEAKING of riding togs, and every one is speaking of them at present, I saw the most at tractive little tricorne at the shon of George Keebler, 1428 Chestnut Street. It comes in all colors. There was a black tricorne of very fine milan with a rather hljth crown. The tricorncs are so uni versally becoming, and when I tell you that these were mado by Keeb ler I need not stross tho fact that they are the correct thing. There is an air of smartness, too, about a Keebler sailor that is unequaled, I think. A good-looking one of pine apple straw with soft satin band can be had in various colors. Then, there is tho Keebler Special sailor with narrow brim and high crown and a stunning sailor of rough atraw with facing and pugarce band of white Georgette.
