Men are looking for natty golf suits just about this time of year, and Mac Donald & Campbell, 1334-36 Chest nut Street, are prepared to meet the demand. They have a remarkably fine assortment of tweeds and home spuns, afi well as the knitted chev iots. These are materials of excel lent wearing quality and the pat terns have been carefully chosen. Their golf suits are not only good looking, but serviceable and a fac tor which most men appreciate comfortable as well. They have also caps, hose and other accessories. THERE is no reason in the world why such a useful article as a watch should not be beautiful as well, and once you have seen the marvclously beautiful wrist watches at the "store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company, you will agree that, oven did they not perform the useful function of registering the ONE'S thought and taste are reflected in the car one pre fers just as in the kind of house one chooses to live in. Those who demand that their automobile hve distinction and individuality that it combine utility with beauty will want to seo the Milburn and Kauch & Lang electric cars at the ihowrooms of George Hugh Smith, Inc., 1836 Chestnut Street Many make the mistake of supposing that, because electric cars are preferred by people of refinement, they are upensive to operate, whereas, in Utt, the cost of operation is only bout 2 cents per mile. The even flov of electric power to the wheels ma comparatively light weight of the cur save tires. It is possible to nt from seven to ten thousand miles from a set of tires.

THE decorator has a great deal to say concerning tho inadvisa bility of placing a four-poster in an Italian Renaissance room and other crimes of like nature, but, sometimes, I think, he does not itress sufficiently the importance of having a comfortable mattress on one's bed. And this is most impor tant, for. no matter how graceful of line the frame of the bed may be an uncomfortable spring and mattress render it useless in the performance of that most important function of inducing healthful rest. A box spring is, of course, tho most desir able and the box spring made by H. D. Dougherty & o., 1632 Chest- uui, oireci, is scientiiicauy con structed.

When YouBuy Shoes, AskAbouttheLeather and the Methods of Manufacture! If you should be attracted by any offering of so called "cheap" Shoes, described merely as made of leather, with no word of the kind of leather, and nothing said of the manner of applying the soles, we advise that you oak questions.
