MENTIONING PAULETTE'S NAME AT THE SHOP ASSURES YOU ADDITIONAL COURTESY. I was rather surprised te find dells at Bonwit Teller's interesting shop at Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, and, my dears, they're just selling like the proverbial het ;akes! They're such darlings wee things with faces like real children and hair that is just as natural. Each has dimpled knees and irresistible little tees. A 10-inch dell costs $8.50; an 11-inch dell, $10; 13-inch dells, $14.75; 15-inch dells, $16.50, and a beauty at $25 measures about 18 inches. Each is dressed in a close-knitted cap and little sweater suits. Yeu can, of course, redress them if you like. They're going very quickly better hurry te buy them. At the same counter are wee bouquets of French flowers for making a' bright spot upon the fur or frock. They're 75c and make charming little Christmas gifts. Nearby are geed-looking incense burners, neatly boxed, together with fragrant incense, the formula of which was obtained from an old Chinese temple. Burner and incense come boxed together for $1.50. Specially priced are some lovely tuxedo cellars of real. filet. Cellars measuring 23 inches long are $2.25, and ethers measur ing 28 inches long are $2.75 each. When in doubt I go te Allen's, at 1214 Chestnut, especially for Christmas giving. Yeu should see the pretty comb, brush and mirror I bought there for one of my little friends who had just attained the privilege of a oem by her own very self. The set, instead of being ivory, is of white heavily enameled weed designed" with little robins upon a brown branch. There is a stunning little set of white with interesting lines of black which would de nicely for the adult folk, tee. One of the nicest things about these sets is the price; the three pieces can be had for a mere $5. The brushes have real prophylactic bristles set well apart for sanitation. I believe there is a set having a walnut finish, tee; then there are some pretty floral designs with white grounds. There is at the same shop a gorgeous set of artificial ivory, having twelve pieces, and costing $47.50, and there are many between prices. By the way, Allen's have some of Coty's wonderful L'Origan, L'Or, Mugct, and Jacqueminet for $7.50 instead of $9.25 a bottle. It's just the dandiest shop at which te buy ever se many of your gifts. Leuis Sterling is .having a sweeping discount sale of frocks and wraps. He is giving a flat 20 off all tag prices. It is an authentic sale in order te keen the stock moving, and no garment is reserved. I wa3 greatly interested te learn that this shop has obtained an exclusive agency for some most desirable Scotch tweed suits in all sizes nnd nil smart mixtures. Their prices are $59.50 and $fi5, and they nre worth investi gating, I assure you. In spite of this low price, how ever, there will be, during this sale, a 20 discount, making the suits doubly bargains. Sterling is famous for his camel's hair sports coats at 59.50. That this price is close I knew from comparative pricing at ether shops. This also is included in the 20 snle-Mn fact, nothing is excluded and thus a stunning sports coat of this kind can new ber had, because of the discount, for $47.60. There nre' several models from which te select. I cannot- tell just hew long the sale will last, but would advise you te buy quickly. The address is 1210 Walnut. De you remember in these days before the war what a famous place was the shop of B. F. Dewees, at 1122 Chestnut, for these $1.50 nightgtewns? Ne matter which was her favorite shop, a woman bought her nightdresses at Dewees'. But then cotton went up nnd up, and while the shop tried te held the gowns at the old price it was quite impossible, and these attractive, dainty, inexpensive little gowns became a thing of the past. And new cotton has fallen, and while net te the extent that would normally justify pricing these dainty gowns again at $1.50, Deweeses have made a great effort just te re-establish their old enviable reputation, nnd as n result, after four years, these pretty gowns have returned at the same old pritfe and just in time for Christmas giving nnd restocking one's nirhtie drawer for the winter! They nre fashioned in such pretty and unusual styles you will net believe until you have refreshed that four-year-old memory. I beg of you te drop in and see for yourself. Just new there is n mWit-ntien display and sale of them they really ire splendid. There isn't a reason in the world why Anne Devlin should reduce her perfectly lovely frocks except that there is a steady stream of them coming into her smnll shop, nnd ravishing frocks that stay in her wardrobes find themselves displaced hv equally ravishing models but a day or two elder. This week Miss Devlin her recently established shop is at 139 Seuth Thirteenth has slashed every price tag en her exquisite collection of both imported and domestic frocks.
