2 "HISTORIC PHOT' HELPS HID SOCIETY Combination History of Famous Old Church and Cook Book The Woman's Aid Society of Paxton ' Church has published a combination cook book and histopy of Its famous old church that will make an ideal last minute choice to send as a Christ inas gift to friends out of town. Efjual-i Jy it will delight the heart of the housekeeper everywhere. "Historic Paxton, Her Days and Her Ways," by Helen Bruce Wallace deals in its first half with the history of the •second oldest Presbyterian Church that is still standing in America. It consists of graphic sketches, pleasing ly Illustrated. One of them tells of old Derry. a sister church of Paxton un der its early ministers, from Parsons Bertram to Elder. But the book is not sectarian in its interest as Paxton's fighting parson, John Klder, was a remarkable mau, commissioned as a colonel to fight the Indians who menaced this county. His descendants and those of members of his congregation, the Ruthert'ords, Fultons, Harrises, Mehargues, Maclays are scattered all over the world. They would greatly appreciate a gift that 1 reals not only of the prowess of their grandsires, but to the skilled cooking of their grandmothers. The domestic section of this book is especially timely. The receipts, hand ed down through long generations of good cooks are as economical as they are appetizing. In addition there are practical articles on flower raising, poultry keeping and household helps written by women who have done the things of which they tell and have done them well. This attractive gift book can be ob tained at 214 Pine street or from the leading booksellers. The profits from its sale will help to keep in repair the old church of which all Harris burgers are justly proud. CAMEO JEWELRY Y Brooches, from $3.50 up; Laval- I lieres, from $3.00 up.

BRENNER Diamond Merchant ami Joueler I\o. 1 Xortli Third St. What the Shops Are Showing It is easy to buy the obvious Rifts,, but the clever Christmas shopper searches for the unexpected sort of gifts. Perhaps the least likely think' to buy for a busy housewife, with little interest in literature, is a book, and yet the Central Book Store, 329 Market street, is ottering ijme books which are particularly appropriate for the housewife. For instance, a Book of Good Dinners, prettily bound and shown in a holiday box, or a dainty little book of novel chafing dish re ceipts, or a clever book tilled with in expensive receipts to reduce the cost, of living are most acceptable Rifts, while Calendars of Salads, Luncheons, Desserts, and receipt card tiles are other appropriate offerings at nominal prices. Canities of the Better Sort The man who does not. plan to buy candy for somebody's Christinas gift is rare indeed, and he who wants candy of unquestioned merit will find just the thins: at. the Gorgas Drug Store. lt> North Third street. Layers of bitter-sweet creams', nut goodies, fruit candies, and lucious combina tions not found in ordinary candy, and yet the prices for these sweets are very reasonable. All candies sold are strictly fresh, and attractively boxed for giving, and the prompt, intelli gent service to hurried Christmas shoppers combine to make this store an excellent place at which to buy a worth-while candy gift. Such well known makes as Gutli, Fenway, Lig gett, Belle Meade, Allcfrretti and Mary Garden are included in the assort ment. Leather Goods For Men Men with their varied interests, business and social, must always be prepared for traveling, and the ex perienced traveler likes to have "a place for everything and everything in its place." The Hub, 320 Market street. Is offering some gift suggestions especially appropriate for the traveler, though men who never leave home will still lind many of these things very; useful. Collar bags are offered from ; SI.OO up, made of tine leather in dif-} ferent colors, and men who have found : their collars soiled or bent out of shape when they are ready to wear '• them will most fully appreciate the j usefulness of one of these handsome : collar bags. The assortment of leather goods at The Hub includes! everything from a 50c shoo horn to | the finest leather traveling set. Christmas Decorations Of course, everyone wants the house ] to look cheery and "Christmassy," but there is both a wise and a foolish way of doirig this.

Rahter, of this city, and her associate, MiSs Emma Reeves, of Philadelphia, recently closed a suc cessful seri.-.s of meetings at his church. He says: "To an impartial observer it would f seem that the public platform is Mrs. Rahter's native heath. Few speakers I are her equal, whether men or women. | With iier striking personality, vital- I motive temperament and rich men tality, she has resources that few pos- Isess, and commands an audience as few can. Yet she always speaks with the delicacy, tact and modesty of a highly cultured woman. The results of the meetings have been most gratifying to all concerned, and Mrs. Rahter and her associates have won a well-merited place in the esteem and affection of the church with which they labored."
