8 When the red flag gives its alluring signal for skating at Wildwood will you be ready with the proper shoes to which to attach your skates? You will find just the right thing at the Walk-Over Boot Shop, 226 Market street. They offer a genuinfe silver deerskin boot especially designed for skating with almost no heel at all, and cut on a sturdy last which is ideal for sports wear. This boot too, has the clever style which would make it as suitable in a fashionable city skat ing rink as it is warm and comfort able for outdoor wear. Other splen did models for skating and sports wear are shown by this shop, in cordo-tan and cheery tan leathers, and in fine calfskin boots, at reason able prices. ABUNDANCE INSIDE AND OUT As I passed the Doutrich Store for | Men, 304 Market street, my attention was caught and held by the myriad gift suggestions displayed in the double-deck windows which are so strikingly attractive just now, and are, I believe, an exclusive feature with this store, for I have not seen them anywhere else. It seems that this store needs plenty of window space to hold the scores and scores of gift suggestions, for the merchandise in the windows gives just a hint of the full and interesting stocks which I found in the store. I attempted to finish my Christmas shopping here on Saturday, but though the sales people were willing and eager to serve me, the crowds were so great and I kept finding so many more things to buy that I have planned to go back to this "Live Store," every day from now until Christmas. GIFT STATIONERY "I have bought everyone station ery," I heard a woman say this morn ing as she gathered together her pur chases at Cotterel's, 9 N. Market Square, and as I glanced at her at tractive boxes of stationery I decided that her idea was very clever. There was a handsome large box of Willow Lawn in a delicate debutante pink, another long flat box, attractively ar ranged with paper, envelopes and correspondence cards to match, sev eral boxes in tints of green, mauve and blue, and a cute little "stand-up" box designed to take up the smallest possible space on a desk, while the new stationery lined in contrasting colors were most effective and inex pensive for gifts. APPROPRIATE FOR GIFTS There are some gifts which though inexpensive are nevertheless peculiar ly gift-like in appearance, and I think this is especially true of any piece of white ivory. A dainty white ivory powder box, a convenient pin tray, a shoe horn, button hook, or a set of manicure articles are always most ac ceptable gifts, and after seeing the attractive display of these at the Gol den Seal Drug Store, 11 S. Market Square, and the beautiful gift boxes arranged with lovely sets of comb, brush and mirror, or complete sets of toilet articles, it is easy to Teallze their possibilities as delightful and acceptable Christmas gifts. A HOLIDAY DISPLAY Gloriously tinged with color and shaded with the exquisite blendings of a summer sunset are some of the new plumes offered in a special holi day display at Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets. Each is shown in an attractive holly box and the prices. $1.98, $2.98, $3.98 and $4.98 are really remarkable for plumes of these wonderful qualities. Some of the plumes have heads so long and heavy that they droop almost the length of the plume, and how beautiful they are when arranged on fashionable hats! Indeed plumes are a luxurious trim ming which are always in fashton, and a gift of one of these would be most acceptable and appropriate. THE ARTISTIC PHONOGRAPH Just as the new Edison Diamond Disc phonograph opens to the music lover the entire field of music, ac curately and exactly re-created, so even the cabinets which contain this scientific marvel, offer cultured peo- AT PHILADELPHIA FUNCTION Miss Elizabeth Mullen Brandt of this city will be one of the eighty guests attending a dinner at the Bellevue- Stratford Thursday, December 21, fol lowed by a theater party with Miss Elizabeth and Miss Frances Ross, the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George Ross, 1721 Spruce street, hostesses. Mrs. Ross is remembered here as Miss Fanny Jennings. Mr. and Mrs. Edward R. Manser of 121 South street, will be holiday guests of relatives in Peekskill, N. Y.

At the J. H. Troup Music House, 15 S< Market Square, where the Diamond Disc phonographs are sold, one may see cabinets in the classical simplicity of Adam design, in fine old Chippendale style, in the graceful Sheraton, and the luxurious and artistic Louis XVI model, —in fact any of the recognized types of correct furnishings. THE CHARM OF CANDLELIGHT The play of light and shadow and the soft witchery of mellow candle light lends beauty even to the home liest face, and the romance that is inseparably connected with the charm of lighted candles makes this the fav orite light for dinner tables, while the revival of the good old custom of burning candles in the windows at Yuletide has created an enormous de mand for these. The Studebaker Grocery Store (now owned by Mr. George Barnes) Second street at the crossing of State, has 'anticipated the demand and has in stock a very com plete line of decorative candles in many sizes and the most delightful colorings for Christmas use. CANDLES FOB GIFTS A lovely old-fashioned candlestick in delft blue pottery, holding a tall | white candle decorated in bluebirds for happiness is one of the many charming gift suggestions shown at the Woman's Exchange, Third street at Herr. Another most attractive gift is a candlestick in dull green pottery in which a sweet and fragrant bay berry candle is used. Bayberry and other Christmas candles are cleverly boxed for Yuletide giving at this shop, with appropriate cards, and they sell for 25c and 50c a box. The white candles hand-decorated with conven tional designs in bright Christmas colors are especially appropriate for gifts, while a young girl would be delighted with the gift of a mystic fortune-telling candle which sells for just 25c. AX INSTRUCTIVE TOY No more instructive toy has ever been produced than the wonderful Erector Sets, and the splendid part of it is that boys just love these toys. The Electric Supply Co., 24 S. Second ] street, is the best place to buy these for here one gets the services and ex periences of men who understand every phase of the play-work involved, and you see, these Erector sets are really exact copies, in miniature, of the structural iron, electric motors and mechanical devices used by construc tive engineers. A most interesting assortment is offered at this store, and full directions for use are given with each set. The prices range from SI.OO up. THE IVY TRELLIS BOX The little ivy trellis boxes shown at the Berryhill Shop, Second street at Locust, are as novel and attractive as anything I have seen for Christmas giving. They are just about six inches long, and can be conveniently placed in any room, and they suggest a min iature oasis from your summer garden carrying a message of good cheer to your friend in the desert of Winter. These little boxes are planted with ivy vine, which is not only lovely in itself, against the background of white trellis, but is beautiful too for the symbolism of enduring friendship which it conveys. Though these boxes cost just SI.OO they make a most de lightful Christmas gift. THE LITTLE THINGS GIRLS LOVE The little frivolous things that girls love to receive for Christmas are most temptingly displayed in holiday as sortment at the H. C. Claster Jewelry Shop, 302 Market street. I saw there lovely little vanity boxes of sterling silver with tops of enamel delicately colored, the new perfume pendants in silver or enamel, attractive little finger rings and exquisitely cut cameos in rings and pins, hand-engraved gold bar pins, attractive sets of lingeries clasps, and an exquisite jewel box of rose leather lined in silk of a lighter shade, and I was delighted to find that I could purchase gifts there from 50c up.
