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-

TELEGRAPHED ANYWHERE
v i
TUESDAY EVENING,
pie the widest possible field for selec
tion in designs which conform exactly
to the highest standards of the master
designers of furniture. 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.

most financiers and citizens of York,
Pa., is seriously ill at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, following an operation sev
eral weeks ago.

For many years he directed the des

Praise Miss Sara Shriner
For Character Sketches
Bertha Noble Barton, a prominent

of Miss Sara Venore Shriner, a local
girl whom many love to hear in
recital:
"Miss Sara V. Shriner, that charm
ing little reader and impersonator, who
is rapidly becoming known through
out the State, gave a recital in the
Heidelburg Reformed Church of this
city, on Thursday evening, December
14. A large audience attended and
enjoyed every number to the utmost.
Miss Shriner's depicting of characters
is splendid. 'Peg o' My Heart' was a

characters were Just as distinct. Her
original monolog entitled 'At the
Theater,* displayed her marked ability
for writing as well as for her im
personation."
