Visiting the Shops With Adele lIY ADELE DO you realize that 80 per cent of the world's supply ot coffee comes from Brazil? And do you know that during the war poor Brazil was left with a heavy stock on hand? Tho result was a depression of the market ar.*d a lowering of the price This reduction was offset, however, by the heavy increase in the cost of delivery to this country. So coffee sold for a practically normal" sum until the last few months, when conditions changed, causing a sud'den increase in value. Consequently the Grand Union- Tea Co 208 North Second street, ever noted for its policy of selling merchandise of the highest quality at the lowest possible price, was forced to charge more than it desired. Ar.vl on Friday evening I'm going to tell you the interesting story of the reason why. THE black jet trimming does it. There's no doubt at all about the matter. It adds an abso solutcly irresistible touch. And the Proud, little evening gown which it adorns is well aware of the fact. Made of soft, black taffeta, it fairly seems to say, "Don't you love my bodice with it's deep cuff of jet lace?" Of course you do, and you're also delighted to find that the hem flaunts a similar feature. With shoulders ar.*d scarf of blackest net, its somberness is relieved by a vivid cluster of silk geraniums, furnish ing just the necessary touch of color. Incidentally, you can see it for your self at the Cloos Shop, in the Penn- Harris building, the home of modish garments. WHAT are you doing with your money these days? Are you us ing it in tho wisest way? Here's hoping you're not contented with leaving it in the bunk or carrying it in your pockets when at Doutrichs "Mark-Down" sale its value is so greatly increased. Do you know that never before in the history of the city have people boon spending their money so freely? And do you realize that never before have they had such an incentive to spend? Who can resist the tempta tion to purchase articles that are being sold for less than it will cost to replace them? No one, I'll venture to say. At least r.*o one in Central Pennsylvania, judging by the way the people are thronging to this establishment where keeping faith with the public means more than mere dollars and cents. Folks are beginning to realize that Doutrichs is indeed a public service institution. TRY one Weaver's roast chicken lunches. They're simply de licious. Served every Thurs day, they tempt the palate as few things do. So be wise! Lunch there next Thursday, and then make It a daily habit. Indeed, that's really the easiest thing in the world to do when they tempt you with bait such as this—roast pork, new potatoes, egg plant, cucumbers, coffee, and your choice of three desserts. Doesn't It sound good? It surely does, and It tastes still better. Per toctiy seasoned and thoroughly cook ed, their meali are sure to satisfy even the most particular CITY COMMENDED FOR PENN-HARRIS Public Spiritedness Approved by Magazine of National Circulation The aggressiveness and civic | spirit of Harrisburg in bringing J about the completion of the Pcnn- j Harris hotel as a community asset, are commended in un article which appears in the current issue of The American City, a magazine of nat ional circulation devoted to the dis semination of news concerning the noteworthy achievements of Ameri can cities. The article describes the hotel as one of the most up-to-date and modern in the country. "The Penn-Harris hotel in Harris burg is a monument to the civic pride of the Capital City of Penn sylvania," the item states, "It offers not only unrivaled facilities for the entertainment of conventions, hut | provides a community center for the I assembling and entertaining of liar- I risburg's residents." | The Harrisburg Chamber of Com i merce also is commended in the ! article, for its activities in bring- I ing about the completion of the i project. I "The campaign for the erection of I the hotel was launched and carried through to a successful issue by the Chamber of Commerce, with the 'loyal support of the public spirited citizens of the community. When it became apparent that outside cap ital would demand such exorbitant terms that the city would he the loser in the transaction, the Har risburg Hotel Company was organ ized and incorporated. The stock was put on sale and quickly taken up by the citizens. It is held by 427 stockholders, practically all of whom are residents of Harrisburg, or were when the project started. Three local businessmen each subscribed for $86,000 worth of the stock, three others took $25,000 each, and one individual took a block of $55,000 worth." How tho hotel was completed despite the obstacles accruing from the war, and its successful opcra [ tion during the first few months since its opening, also are described |in tho magazine article.

The collars and cuffs are stamped with dainty designs, discreetly hinting that a tiny touch of embroidery would not go amiss. And were I three instead of—well never mind how much! —I'd want most of all to frolic in the darlin' suit of brown with wee, wee chicken's at the elbows and the neck.
