I he cleverest of little wooden man
i ls season's contribution
to Christmas novelties, and are offer

and who holds in her interior a thim
ble, is another member of the wooden
family, while the little dancing doll
manikins, which are really spinning
tops, are offered for just 25c. for
children.
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

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.
