Don't forget, en your next tour of the .Chestnut Street Sheps, te add your name te the list Yeu will find a booth en Chestnut Street. T'VE been looking for just such an evening gown," said the lady from Harrlsburg, as she took the lovely creation of jet and tulle in her hands. "It seems that I always find just the right thing at Oppenheim, Cellins & Company's store. I always step here en my way te Atlantic City. Your things have a chic all their own," she told the saleslady, who returned at that moment with a stunning afternoon dress of chiffon velvet. "Se many of our out-of-town patrons tell us that," smiled the saleslady. "It seems that it is becom ing a habit te step here en one's way te Atlantic City.'1 "Well, no trip te the shore is really complete without a step here en route," agreed the lady from Har rlsburg. T'M SURE you'll "be interested te J- knew of a sweet shop where you can buy the most delicious caramels for 50 cents the pound. Really, you'd hardly bolieve it possible in these days of the high cost of everything, but Edouard D. Kruse Company, 100 Seuth Eleventh Street and 4903 Bal timore Avenue, are selling nil of their candies at correspondingly low prices. Nuts and fruits, chocolate covered (and the ingredients used in the making are the purest and fresh est obtainable), arc only 90 cents per pound and I knew you could net find a better assortment anywhere in town. I've been gratified te knew that many of the friends whom I sent te Kruse's since I first dis covered this candy store have been satisfied patrons ever since. NOWHERE in the house are things Parisian mere appropriate than in the boudoir. That dainty little lamp-shade lady which I saw at the stere of Bonwit, Teller & Company, Chestnut and Thirteenth Streets, might have stepped right out of a Frngenard print, with her beuffnnt skirt and hair coiffed a la Marie An toinette. Her dress is of old rose, blue or lavender and you may have her for $12.50. Anether "cheyne" figure, whose skirt will cover the un sightly telephone comes in the same colors nt $22.50. A dainty little gift, and one sure of appreciation, is the long-handled mirror, covered with blue, lavender or pink silk, with a tiny lace-edged bouquet en the back. It is but ?2, and the puff te match it is $2. I OP COURSE, you arc including jewelry en your Christmas list. It is at once one of the most useful and ene of the most beautiful gifts you could cheese. There .are se many distractingly lovely gift suggestions at the store of Bailey, Banks & Bid die Company that I hardly knew where te begin te tell you about them. There are new and unusual dinner rings, exquisite flexible brace lets set with diamonds and ether precious stones, and such lovely bar pins of platinum and diamonds. These new pearl ornaments tiny tassels, you knew, sometimes with a band of diamonds nt the top, that one wears en a black ribbon make lovely gift3. Let me urge you te de your shopping early, for many of the loveliest things cannot possibly be duplicated. SO MANY men are finding a use for knitted sweater coats lust new that a word concerning the unusually geed-looking ones which I saw this week at MacDonald & Campbell's store, 1334-30 Chestnut Street, may net go amiss. The heather mixtures are particularly smart looking. Of course, I need net assure you' that you will be satisfied with their qual ity,, for that gees without sayini; when you make a purennse at Mac Donald & Campbell's. They make excellent Christmas gifts, but there Is no time like the present for buying them, when se,many interesting out door sports nre in progress. They are comfortable for golf wear, and many men like them for skating, tee. I knew one woman who wears her husband's sweater-coat en the links. ALL of us who have been engaged in that pleasant occupation of gathering 'round the hearth during these first cool days nre beginning te appreciate the comfort of n well equipped fireplace, or else te feel the lack of 'the proper fireplace fit tings. I confess it was the latter in mv case until I visited the stere of J.' Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut Street, and bought me a poker and tongs and shovel of wrought iron te match my andirons, and a wee hearth brush like a witch's broom. 1 dis covered that they have some very decorative fireplace fittings of- brass, and these leek particularly well in the heuse of Colonial type. Yeu will be interested, tee, in their willow woedbaskcts. They come in most attractive colors. THE CHESTNUT STREET ASSOCIATION Will YOU Profit by the Experience of the Cernell Weed Products Company?
