She has always been timid about driving, and. since she has a treat many social encasements, she has found it necessary to employ a chauffeur. She told me with trreat irice that she now intends to drive i her own car. nnd that she has in ; fact been driving- for the past week in the most congested district of th city. The car is a Rauch v Lane electric, which she purchased at the salesrooms of George Hujrh Smith, , Inc., IS:?.. Chestnut Street. The Rnuch v Lanp and the ."vTilburn ' electrics, both sold by George Hugh I Smith, are the most practical of cars for citv and suburban use.

ALi5lMt,K S'lANDARD O1 F A true rose-color- are the' Premier roses, which I stopped . to admire the other dav in the Flower Shop of B. Stahl, 27 South Eleventh Street. They are long- stemmed and exquisitely formed. I made a discovery while talking to the florist, which I am going to pass on to you. When sending rosos to any one who is ill one should choose buds rather than roes which have , already opened, not only because i they last longer, but because the in valid will derive a great deal of pleasure from watching them un fold. Such service as this Stnhl's , are prepared to give you, and you j may select from a great variety of i ut flowers a box that is moderate in I price or one that is quite elaborate. ' I noticed nt 'Stahl's, too, some lonely baskets filled with flowers, : which would make delightful gifts.
