OLD ROSE AND SILVER Old rose and silver will make a beautiful Christmas dinner table for you if y OU make use of the decora tive suggestions offered by the Stude baker Grocery Store (now owned by Mr. George Barnes) Second street at the crossing of State. Use a graceful Beliefonte basket tinted in rose col orings as the centerpiece, filled with fruit and nuts and garlanded with Christmas greens. With this, four of the tall rose-colored candles shown at this same store would be most effective, or the tiny individual can s'? , in ,he samc shade at each plate. Christmas candles are a specialty at this store and are shown in delight ful assortment. SILVKR THOUGHTS One cannot speak of silver with out thinking of tlie Claster Jewelry hhop, 302 Market street, where such beautiful gifts in silver are shown I find their prices on flat silver are the most reasonable in the city, and , e y otter a splendid assortment in all the best patterns, while the beau tiful Community Plate which a spe cial representative from the factory lias just featured at this store is dis played in a wonderful holiday ex hibit. The exquisite sets of rame kins, after-dinner coffee cups, cor dial cups, candy and nut dishes, may onnaise bowls, boullion cups and in silver, boxed, in handsome gift cases nro just the thing for Christmas giv- SILVER FOR EVENING WEAR Still another silvery thought is brought to us by the wonderful even ing slippers of silver cloth shown at the Walk-Over Boot Shop, 226 Mar ket street, and not only the beauty ot the dainty glistening cloth of sil ver. but the grace and simple ele gance of the design of these slippers makes them especially desirable for smart evening wear. Indeed correct ness of line and excellence of finish are characteristic of the footwear shown at this shop and the satin even ing slippers, also offered in a full line of sizes are the kind that make large feet look small, and small feet look ! smaller. TIIK THOUGHTFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT r s* u £ thoughtful grift is ono iwilch will be of service all through the year and just such gifts are of fered at the Electric Supplv Co., 24 b. Second street in every kind of elec trical device for the home.

Stewart, a student at Princeton University and John O. Stew art, a student at the undergraduate school at Princeton, will return Wed nesday to spend the holiday recess at their home, 1404 North Second street. assortment of p| n 8 s > Lavallieres, WrH many new electric devices which ar< most useful. These electric gifts ar not expensive to use, and are so wonderfully convenient and attractive that they are just the thing for Christ mas gifts, and the prices at this shop are very reasonable. THIS HOME-COMING The wonderful thrill of tho home coming at Christmas time is a com bination of many sensations, • tho sight of eager faces at the station, the joy of being with friends and par ents, and the delight in seeing old familiar landmarks of your home town, and I have just realized how much it means to boys and young men to come back home to do their shop ping, for the Doutrich Store for Men, 304 Market street, has been crowded these last few days with young men and boys who are purchasing their winter overcoats and suits, their sport togs, and sweaters, and all their need ed accessories, which they say can be bought so much more satisfactorily at this store than in any of tho places they find on their journeys. FURS l'on THE LITTLE TOTS Whether or not you have thought of buying furs for your little. daughter for Christmas, as soon as you see the deai - 'ittlc sets offered in holiday as sortment at Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets, you will feel that nothing else will do, for they are just as cunning and pretty as they can be and so reasonably priced! I love the little sets of white which are always so becoming to children, while some of the natural animal effects in brown and gray are very stylish and attractive. The muffs and scarfs are Just the right size for children, large enough to bo warm and small enough to be in good proportion for the little tots, and some of the cute little round muffs made exactly like a miniature of the grown-ups' sots, will especially delight the kiddies. GIFTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT Gifts that are "different" give especial attraction to the holiday dis plays at the Cotterel Book Store, 9 N. Market Square, and not only original suggestions in gifts for women, but many most helpful offerings to pleaso those difficult members of the sterner , sex are shown. Many men would have | much use for a flat roomy brief case, and Cotterel's show these in beautiful I black leathers and a tine heavy cow | hide with nickel fastenings, which would make a most attractive gift Folding hangers for coats and trous ers in leather cases, sturdy clothes brushes with good stiff bristles and the new flexible leather backs, and new designs in convenient wallets and coin purses for men are a few of tho i many gift ideas offered at this store at attractive prices. "BIG" FACTS The longer I live the more I believe that there is a definite reason for everything if we just stop to "tigure it out/; and when I thought about it it did not take me long to decide why the J. H. Troup Music House, 15 S Market Square, is the biggest store of its kind in liarrisburg. It is big in its policy, big in service to its cus tomers, big in its liberal system of credit, and after discovering all this it follows very naturally that this store should be big in size and big in popu larity, and it is no wonder that they are doing now the IMggest Christmas business in their history, for there are offerings in pianos, player-pianos v ictrolas, Columbia and Edison phono graphs, and their enormous record libraries offer the customer the wide!* and most complete selection.
