10 Alerty_^% COxrfeimas CKai - # To-morrow a very interesting treat | Is in tore for Harrisburg shoppers for ! the H. C. Claster Jewelry Shop, 302 Market street, in connection with their very complete showing of Community Sliver, lias arranged to have a spe cial representative from the factory at their store to offer any kind of serv ice to customers, either in helping to select new silver, or to give sugges tions and advice as to the care of silver formerly purchased. He will also explain the process of manufac ture, and give many interesting facts j In connection with it, and incidentally j this day of "open house" at Claster's j will give everyone an opportunity to! etop and see their interesting gift dis- I plays without feeling any obligation to buy. •lust A IJttlc More Than A Card Charming little hooks which serve: as Just a little more than a card and less than a gift are shown at Cotterel's I 9 North Market Square for just 25c and 50c. There Is a clever Christmas story by C. N. and A. M. Williamson, a new book by Francis Hodgsom Bur nett and Woodrow Wilson's interest ing little essay on "Being Human." Then thero are Christmas stories and Sunshine verses, charming books of gardens, flowers and birds, and all the i cheerful happy subjects that best ex- j press the Christmas spirit, offered in holiday bindings at these popular! prices. Garden of Allah The Garden of Allah is a most ap propriate name for the fragrance that is offered at the Golden Seal Drug Store, 11 South Market Square, in ex tract, toilet water, sachet, face anct talcum powder, and the suggestion of splendor embodied in the name is beautifully fulfilled in the' gift-like: boxes, lined in gold-colored satin, in j which artistic bottles filled with the | green gold liquid are charmingly ar- j ranged. Some of the better boxes contain powders, perfumes and sachet •while others, equally lovely, but less i expensive hold a single bottle of toilet j water or a vial of delicate perfume, and prices are most moderate at this shop. Thousands of Neckties 1 have been wondering how many neckties are given for Christmas gifts In Harrisburg for I just learned that, one store alone sells a quantity which runs into the thousands of dozens! I thought at first that this was impos sible, but when I heard that the store was Doutrichs, 304 Market street, and that they have now in stock 1,500 dozens, and when 1 realized how popular this store Is for neckwear, I could easily understand it. This tremendous assortment makes it easy i to select ties for Christmas giving, and I was delighted with the splendid as sortment shown for just 50c, which is fully up to the standard of former years before war prices began, while the designs are prettier than ever. Children's Furs I think children look just like little snowbirds when they put on the cun- | nlng little white fur sets which I saw at Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets. This store is offering so many j MISS IIHKWEJIAN IS HOSTESS. Miss Anna Brenneman of 606 Peffer | street entertained at cards, music and j pupper last evening with 12 guests in j attendance.

(Open until 9 r. M.) FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! DECEMBER 8, 1916. pretty sets of children's furs especially for Christmas giving and priced from SI.9S to $lO. There are a great many different styles for children of all ages, and besides the white furs which are always charming for the little tots the natural squirrel in gray and the pretty combinations of two or more furs of contrasting colors are especial ly well-liked. Artists of tlie Pianoforte I must confess that X had a natural prejudice against player pianos, but when I heard a Chickering at the J. H. Troup Music House, 15 S. Market Square, exquisitely played with the soft pathos, the lightness of touch and the delightful phrasing of a perfect artist, I could hardly believe my own eyes when 1 saw that the piano was played without any touch of human hands. This wonderful instrument is known as the Ampico Reproducing Piano and the records are played first, and then reproduced, by such artists as Busonl, Godowsky, and others of like rank, so that the music is of un questionable merit. Pocahontas Slippers and OUiers The new bedroom slippers shown at the Walk-Over Boot Shop, 226 Market street suggest the sandals of some fleet-footed Indian maid, for they are both comfortable and picturesque and they are made in true Indian fashion of unfinished deerskins. This is but one of many attractive styles offered at this shop in slippers for both men and women, priced from $1.75 up and any of these would make most acceptable gifts. The traveling slippers in soft brown leather for service, or the dainty slippers in pink or blue silk which slip into a case to match, are very reasonably priced and are pleasing novelties for gifts. Baskets of "Goodies'* There are so any uses for Christmas baskets that everyone needs many of them at Yuletlde—some for holly and Christmas greens, some to fill with fruit and cookies for gifts, or to use for donations of groceries, and the sale of Japanese baskets at the Studebaker Store (now owned by Mr. George Barnes), Second street at the crossing of State, is most opportune. They are closing out their stock of Japanese baskets at ridiculously low prices, and a good idea is to leave orders at this store —or by telephone—to have one of these inexpensive baskets filled with fruit, nuts, or groceries to be delivered the day before Christmas. Inexpensive Baskets You will find "just the bag" for a dozen different friends at the Wom an's Exchange, Third street at Herr— knitting bags, bags for crochet, street bags, laundry bags, vanity bags, novelty bags-—and each is so different from the others you have seen mat they have an added charm of in dividuality. There is large hags for knitting, made of dainty pink and white cretonnes, which sells for just 25c —a wonderful value! Another pretty knitting bag in an odd design of blue and buff cretonne is just 50c, and these give just an idea of the many inexpensive, but beautiful bags that are offered for gifts at this shop. ] celved the prizes. Pink roses formed | the table centerpiece and' pink shades capped the candelabra. Mrs. John Vaughn, Mrs. Edward Fry and Mrs. Stewart assisted the hostess. PERSONAL ENRICH TREASURY OF AID SOCIETY Successful Tableaux Presented Last Evening a Benefit to Visiting Nurse Aid An enthusiastic audience, generous In Its applause, greeted the "Tableaux Vivants" staged last evening in the Technical high school auditorium by the Misses Fisher, of Stillwater, N. J. The pictures from Shakespeare and some of the old masters were posed by debutantes and others, under the di rection of the capable ladies, who pro vided the costumes and supervised the stage arrangements. The lighting effects were excellent and the musical accompaniments by Alfred C. Kuschwa very much in har mony with the settings. All the pos tures were received with two and sometimes three encores. Mrs. Thomas Baldwin, in a portrait after Komney, Miss Constance Ferriday as Ophelia. Miss Susanna Fleming as Portia and Miss Janet Sawyer after Titian were all given hearty receptions, and John Comstock as Prince Hal fulfilled the requirements of the dashing courtier very acceptably. As a matter of fact, each tableau held the audience with equal interest and all were staged with the care and effectiveness of experi ence. The Aid Society of the Visiting Nurse Association lias enriched Its treasury considerably as a result of the tableaux. MISS ItAYSOU SHOWERED WITH ENGAGEMENT GIFTS Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
