Coincident' with the action talen by
the state of New .Tervev jelnttve lo the
Volstead net. great dens of banded
rattlesnakes have been found in tlint
state and not twenty -five miles from
Philadelphia. Through the generosity
of the discoverer, George Scovlllc, of
Philadelphia, the Zoo received two
remarkable specimens. One of the
snakes measures five nnd one-half feet
and the other four feet.
The exnet location of the dens hns
not been revealed, ns u precautionary
measure against the frightening awny
of the snakes by amnteur collectors. The
Zoo authorities hope to make raids on
the dens and. if passible, capture more
of the snakes, as experts thought that
(.pedes was extinct in this pnrt of the
country.
The lasl month of bad weather has
evidently agreed with Ule eight polar

Large numbers of customers who have taken our advice, not to
buy Furniture until they proved to their own satisfaction by comparison
where the best opportunities were, offered, are leaving their orders with
us, because they say we are giving the best values.
Keeping the quality up and the prices down is a sound principle
that not only made this Store popular and prosperous, but also made it
great. Greater than any other Store of its kind in the country. Great
est in its enormous economic facilities for the purchase, manufacture and
sale of Furniture and Home Furnishings. A leadership fairly won, and
easily maintained by the quality of our stocks and the rarity of our values.
Stocks and materials, for instance, contracted for at the lower quo-
tations of six to twelve months ago, are
now going out to customers at the pro
portionate savings effected in their
manufacture and purchase.
We have the-proof because we have
the goods! And whether you come as
a visitor or ciistomer, welcome. But
come, if only to make comparison and
see what you can save.

OST practical for summer
wear are those bathrobep of
Ponireo and Foulard at the
store of MacDonald & Campbell,
1334-36 Chestnut Street. They are
light of weight nnd take up little
room in a traveling bag. Mohair
is another good choice, for it does
not wrinkle, and the summer-weight
Flannols are very good-looking.
MacDonald & Campbell's have also
an excellent assortment of Terry
cloth robes. The colorings soft
lavenders, tans, greens, pinks, besides
black - and - white are most ef
fective and the designs are very
interesting. These robes have the
rolling collar and are, altogether,
very well made. These Terry cloth
tobes are very serviceable, for they
wear indefinitely and can be very
easily washed.
NB very fortunate bride of my
acquaintance received a host
of electrical gifts an electric
toaster, chafing dish, table stove,
iron, washing machine, and a great
number of other useful appliances.
Every one, it seemed, had conspired
to make "keeping house" as delight
ful a task as possible for her, and
they could hardly have chosen more
acceptable gifts, for their useful
ness has .pi'oved many times over
the wisdom of giving things prac
tical on such an occasion I re
membered this incident as I passed
the store of J. Franklin Miller, 1612
Chestnut Street, not long ago, for
tho window was replete with sug
gestions for gifts. Thermos bottles
and carafes, reed baskets! painted
trays, electric percolators all most
acceptable gifts.

Banks
Biddle Company's store in
tho past few weeks? There are any
number of new and interesting
thing3 there, and if you arc con
templating the purchase of a wed
ding gift, you really should not
miss seeing this collection. There
is the delicate, fairy-like tracery of
finely cut glass to please your fancy
and the iridescent loveliness of Que
zal glass to charm you with its ever
changing lights. A low bowl filled
with bright-colored fruits makes a
most interesting centerpiece for the
table, and there ar flower holders,
candy jars of various shapes and
sizes, French dressing bottles,
cheese and cracker dishes and any
number of other gifts to delight the
heart of the bride.
FRUITS are so perishable and
so variable in quality that such
a term as uniform excellence
cn rarelv be applied to them.
Phtladelphians are fortunate, how
over, in having such a store a3 that
of Henry R. Hallowell & Son, Broad
Street below Chestnut, which main
tains at all times the highest stan
dard of quality. Just now you will
find Cherries there, the first of
California's spring fruits, and they
are truly delicious. Then, too, there
are some really fine Strawberries
from Norfolk', and large, veet
' Honey Dew Melons from South Af-
' rica. If you have not yet tasted
those delicious Cabazona Pineapples
from Porto Rico, you really must
not delay In securing one, and you
an still obtain Delicious Apples and
I Winter Nelis Pears. Safe delivery
of these fruits is guaranteed 1000
miles.
THERE is a good-looking four-in-hand
at the store of Jacob
Reed's Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
Street, that is attracting a great
deal of attention just now. They
call 'it the "Beverly," and thev are
selling it at a special price. These
scarfs were purchased for Fall,
1919, delivery and have just arrived,
so the price is based on their cost
last year. Their market value is,
of course, much higher at present
There is a wide range of solid col
ors to select from, among them
navy, black, tan, dark green, pur
pln and pearL The "Beverly'' is
made of heavy quality twill siDc,
which Insures good wearing quality.
It looks extremely well when tied,
and it not in the least bulky;

THOSE graceful one-eyelet ties,
the newest in smart footwear,
are ' such practical shoes, for
one feels that one's feet are cor
rectly shod in them for almost any
occasion. A pair of these in black
patent leather which I saw at tho
second-floor shop of Del Mar & Com
pany, 1211 Chestnut Street, I
thourht nartleulnrlv attractive.
there is an attractive pump of dull ; j
leauiet wiui ttirapa crusaea ub Mic in- , J
step, which has about it a rcmi- jj
uiscence of the Orient, and the black ' ;
sueae pumps ana ues wnicn are De
ing worn so much in Paris will
please the woman who likes the
soft, velvety character of this ma
terial. And as for walking shoes,
I am quite sure you will find nothing
smarter than the Del Mar oxfords.
A1
RE you planning your vaca
tion clothes? If so, you will
be interested in the printed
voiles which I saw at the store of
J. B. Sheppard & Sons, 1008 Chest
nut Street. You may choose from
a number of attractive patterns at
a special price. There is an un
usually good-looking dark blue voile
with white figures a pattern that
I have not been anywhere else
which would make a very pretty
afternoon dress. Then there are
some of the dainty voiles with light
grounds and figures in delicats col
ors. Now is the time to buy them
if you wish to be certain of having
your dresses when the warm weather
comes. Sheppard's also havo some
madras of a very good quality. It
is Striped in color and is excellent
for men's shirts.
ANY people are taking ad
vantage of this delightful
spring weather to secure some
really good snapshots. A "really
good snapshot" presupposes a really
good camera, and, if you are contem
plating tho purchase of a camera, I
can recommend the shop of Frank J.
Curry, at 812 Chestnut Street. You
will find cameras in all sizes at
Curry's, from the vest-pocket kodak
and small box cameras to the largest
and finest that are made. Another
thing you will receive expert advice
as to the handling of the camera
which you purchase at Curry's. This
shop has established a reputation for
the cxcellencfe'of its work In develop
ing and finisning. You will be de
lighted with your prints if you take
your films to Curry's for development.

silk in your summer wardrobe. I
saw a most attractive one at the
Blum Store, 1310 Chestnut Street
Front and back panels und the lower
section of the skirt were of a lovely
shade of turquoise and the waist
and upper Tjart of the skirt were of
whit "Kpmsl-Kumsa." Another
dress which I liked was of i rose
colored "Roshanara" crepe. The
waist was most attractively beaded,
and the skirt was pleated. A dress
which would be most becoming to
the woman who is inclined to be a
bit stout, was of white Sharitunjr.
It was a tunic dress and was trim
med most effectively with VBidiwr
in white. These are but a few of the
attractive dresses to be found at the
Blum Store.
YOU really Have no idea until
you've tried fixing up your
house for the summer just how
attractive and cool it can be made.
Ruga are one of the most important
itema in summer furnishing. Those
pretty cretonne-bordered rugs at
Fritz & La Rue's, 1615 Chestnut
Street, are really summery and the
band-braided rugs look particularly
well on a dark highly-polished floor.
Yon spend a great deal of time on
the Veranda in summer, and if you
havo a breakfast-porch I can think
of toothing more attractive for its
floor-covering than the graso rug in
a certain shade of dull blue which
I aaw at Fritz & La Rue's. The
Kobe block rugs are also very good
for the porch, and the Belgian rash
rugs are very practics and durable.
