8 fjarimas CKaTJ There is a real difference between Edison Diamond Disc Re-Creations of inusic and the ordinary talking ma chine record, for these He-creations are made by a secret laboratory pro cess which makes it possible to re produce exactly all the delicate over tones or tone-colors which cannot be heard on the other talking machine records. Then, too, these re-creations are one and one-half times as long as other records and the more pre tentious forms of music such as sym phonies, can be reproduced on these. All this 1 learned at tho J. H. Troup Music House, 15 S. Market Square, where the Diamond Disc Phonographs, as well as the Victor and Columbia Talking Machines are for sale, and customers at this store have the ad vantage of hearing all three side by side and making their own com parisons. LIGHTING THE XMAS TREE Santa Claus has found that tlio best and safest way to illuminate tho Christmas tree is to use cno of tho clever lighting arrangements offered at the Electric Supply Co., 24 S! Sec ond street, put up in attractive holi day boxes and priced from $3.00 to $12.00 according to the number of lights supplied. These outfits con tain all the needed cord, attachments and mazda lamps in assorted Christ mas colors, and can bo used either with regular electric- lighting current or with dry sells and storage batter ies. They consume very little current and the same set can be used for sev eral years so that they are really economical, as well as safe and at tractive. l i lt STOLES How luxurious are those big long fur stoles which smart women aro wearing so much this season! I have seen some beautiful scarfs inade in this style at Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets, priced so low that they certainly are tempting to shop pers, and I have been thinking what splendid Christmas gifts they would make. Some are in Hudson seal, some in moleskin and some in com binations of two furs which are most attractive. With these, the cut little round muffs are stunning, and a beau tiful assortment of these are sfiown at most moderate prices. GIFT SLIPPERS Indian moccasins, beaded in char acteristic Indian style, and fashioned in most comfortable design of soft unfinished Indian leathers and priced at $2.50 are among the Christmas display of bedroom slippers offered at the Walk-Over Boot Shop, 226 Mar ket street, where so many new and pretty styles are shown. There are attractive slippers of felt in all tho desirable shades, light and dark daintily touched with ribbon and priced at j1.75, $2.50, while a very lovely design .in richly-quilted pink silk with a smart heel sells for $3.50. Besides these dainty slippers for ladies, they offer a splendid variety in men's bedroom slippers for Xmas giving. GUTS FOll CHILDREN Little gifts for children are display ed in an intefesting assortment at the Woman's Exchange, Third street at Herr. There is a cunning little doll's traveling set, a rubber-lined bag holding a miniature wash cloth and a tiny bar of soap, then there is a big box, decorated In nursery rvhmo pictures, containing bright-colored worsted with a fascinating device for "knitting" horse-reins, &c., and the dear little coin purses of white kid or brown leathers are just the thing for children, while the cuto little wicker baskets and fancy boxes con taining children's handkerchiefs are most reasonably priced from 15c up. HOLIDAY GUESTS Miss Grace Post, of Hartford, Conn., Miss Alice Simpson, of New York City, school friends of Miss Sara E.

(ggBERSASHEWY ■> ( 1116-1118 NORTH THIRD STREET i WEDNESDAY EVENING CHRISTMAS ,S\V E ATE IIS As I hurried into the Doutrlch Store for Men, 304 Market street, and made straight for tho sweater department where I hail planned to make several purchases, I stood amazed, for behind counters heaped with sweaters six salesmen were working just as fast as they could, showing sweaters, writing checks, and wrapping the goods in the attractive boxes which this store gives with every holiday purchase. I al most thought I was in a factory, for the enormous sweater business which this store has the reputation of doing would seem marvelous, if shoppers did not know that at this store they got service, selection and values which are unsurpassed, in fact, I have found Doutrlchs don't do anything that they can't do right, and perhaps that is the reason their sweater bus iness is so large. ARTISTIC GIFTS One of the artistic bowls offered at the Berryliill Shop, Second street at the crossing of Locust, has the lovely rose and gold colorings which is seen sometimes in limpid water when sparkling slinshine falls across it, and this is placed on a beautifully designed urn of black enameled pot tery, which strikingly enhances its delicate charm. The new vases and bowls in black some decorated in pink and white, and some quite plain to give a perfect l setting for bril liant Christmas flowers, others In woodland greens and browns, others in classical designs and colorings offer a wealth of suggestions for Christmas giving, and the prices range from 50c to SIO.OO. A NEW GIFT IDEA Something quite new which would make a beautiful and most acceptable gift for either man or woman is shown at the H. C. Claster Jewelry Shop, 302 Market street, In the exquisite gift boxes in which a sterling silver foun tain pen, a silver pencil and knife, all hand-engraved in tho same de sign, are placed on softly-colored silk. These sets are offered in several dif ferent designs and their beauty makes them just the thing for Christmas giv ing. For women, the dainty sets of silver bodkins, attractively boxed, and offered by this same shop, are very clever gifts, and are very inex pensive. IX DELICATE PINK In a house beautifully decorated with Christmas greens, a tall candle of delicate pink tint, burning at each window would give a Xmas-like touch of good cheer, and still be more orig inal than tho usual deep colorings. This color scheme is suggested at the Studebakcr Grocery Store, (now own ed by Mr. George Barnos) Second street at the crossing of State, where candles of every sort, In pastelle shades, and Christmas colors, tall and short, round and square aro shown, as well as the fragrant bayberry candles. For the table a Beliefonte basket in green shaded to pink, and filled with mistletoe, surrounded by four tall Renaissance candles in pink would be most charming. WRITING SETS OF LEATHER There may be a scarcity of leathers this year, but one would never im agine it after seeing the display of Christmas gifts of leather offered at Cotterel's, 9 N. Market Square, for never have I seen more attractive things. There are writing sets in dull green leather in mottled effect, lined in buff and fitted with all the needed accessories, pad, address book, stamp book, &c., lovely gift-like sets in mauve, rose and pearl gray, and sub stantial sets for men in black leathers, while the gay cretonne-covered writ ing sets are a charming novelty. This store also shows some very pretty desk pads for ladies, with ' genuine leather corners, for just SI.OO. HRYJT STUDENTS HERE Miss Helen C. Strayer, Miss Eliza beth B.

H. Walter of Steel ton. KITTY CHEATHAM ALWAYS DELIGHTS Wednesday Club Audience Re turns to Childhood With Clever Entertainment Fait nestock hall in the Y. M. C. A. was the scene of a strange transfor mation last evening. It was the oc casion of the ever popular Christmas concert of tho Wednesday club. The scarlet polnsettlas, ferns and llrs were there as usual. So also was the large fashionably dressed audience of men and women. Then out upon the ros trum stepped Kitty Cheatham, the charming wonder-woman and lo! away fell the heavy burden of the years anil the heart which knows and loves childhood so thoroughly, made children of them all. It was not alone with her music but in folk legends, humorous and darky stories she was equally delightful. The vivid expres sive face, the small eloquent hands which seem neyer to rest and the ease and spontaneity with which she talks all make Miss Cheatham like a rare old wine, intoxicating, but for which the thirst is never quenched. Voice'.' Yes, she has a voice, a mellow flexible soprano, nothing of itself to set the world atire but who stops to ask of Kitty Cheatham's quality of tone ? It/Is forgotten in listening to the words that voice ex presses, In the quaint little songs she sings and in watching tho way her whole graceful body expresses the meaning. She made an earnest plea for all childhood that it be given the best the world affords along all lines, sympathy and understanding especial ly because the little ones of to-day are the men and women of to-morrow who, in the great crisis of the world's affairs will have problems to meet we cannot comprehend. Three Sung Cycles The program contained three cycles of songs, Folk Songs of various na tions, the traditional Mother Goose Rhymes (grownups had forgotten they could sound like that) and Negro Melodies. Miss Cheatham is especial ly fitted for the latter, being a South erner, raised by a Mammy or the bye gone type. She expresses the mourn ful minor cadences with the slurred grace notes and long sustained whole notes peculiar to the negro of the South. It is evident that she loves and understands the race as no one can who has not lived amongst them. Many of her darky melodies were sung without other accompaniment than the clapping of her hands. Nearly every song was prefaced by a story or anecdote sometimes whimsi cal, often humorous, all apparently spontaneous. There was a world of wise advice in the absurd dialect song, "Don't Be What You Ain't, But Be What You Is" sho gave as an encore. True to nature was "Practising," (John Alden Carpenter), the little lad forced to play his scales for hours each day against his will. The Little Gray l-amb In serious recitations Miss Cheat ham was equally at home. The won derful Christmas poem, "The Little Gray Lamb" (Archibald Sullivan) was full of the lofty spiritual significance of the love of the Great Shepherd. Once when asked, to speak before a gathering of students representing 12 different nations, Miss Cheatham chose this as being a selection whose mean ing could reach beyond its mere ver bal expression. She is especially fond of Stevenson's poems for he, too, un derstood childhood so thoroughly. Her rendering of his "The Cow," schoolgirl fashion, was a delight. She also read one of his unpublished poems to children given her person ally by Mrs. Stevenson. Miss Flora MacDonahl Will's piano acompaniment was always in perfect unison and accord with Miss Cheat ham's voice. It was something new for the Wed nesday club but thoroughly welcome as the applause and flowers testified. Here's to Kitty Cheatham, the woman who can make one forget that child hood covers only a brief span oj years! King Solomon said, "Where 4here is no vision, the people perish." Miss Cheatham brings to the tired heart the needed vision. ANNA HAMILTON WOOD. Services For Christmas at the Y. W. C.
