(Other Social News on l'agc 10.) DID you ever stop to think that I the difference in price between the best shoes and the worst is not so great as it used to be. No. I but the difference in quality is just as great as ever. Therefore, one must beware in purchasing shoes, lest one pays a large sum for an in- | fcrior grade. At one time the price was the indication of the quality, j But that day has passed—although ! not forever, we hope. Just the same, j conditions are such at present that It behooves us to buy our shoes nt a I thoroughly reliable shop where we 1 are sure to obtain footwear that is ! all It is represented to be. For men the problem Is quite simple, while j the little store on Court street, j known as the Army and Navy Shoe j Store, remains in town. WOMAN'S' love for pretty clothes is as old as Nature. And who can blame her for delighting in lovely garments? No one who sees her in them, I'm sure. An attractive woman, handsomely gowned is a joy forever. And many a homely woman finds careful dressing a valu able asset. Perhaps Milady's love of adornmer.-t has found its best expres sion in the charming gowns at the Cloos Shop. Take, for instance, the stunning afternoon gown of black charmeuse, with three-quarter sleeves — the very latest thing, you know—effectively, simple blouse, wide girdle, and overskirt heavily embroidered in silk and braided in gold. Or examine the little frock of navy georgette over satin with bell sleeves and paneled skirt, the whole encrusted with dark iridescent beads. Distinctive? Yes —and oh, so beautiful! ARE you one of the many thou sands of husbands who are se cretly wondering what to get her for Christmas? It is a perplexing question, Isn't it? Of course, there are just hundreds of things that you might select, but—what does she want most of all? Now, listen to me. There are some things that suit some women and some things that suit others, but the one thing guaranteed to please any woman is an electrical labor-saving device or appliance. Give her something electrical, and, surest thing you know, she'll be happy as a lark. Take, for instance, any one of the following appliances I saw yesterday at the Dauphin Electrical Supplies Company, 434 Market street: A vacuum cleaner, a valveless percola tor, an electric iron, a boudoir set, including iron, curling tongs and stand; a toaster, teapot, stove," bou doir lamp, or any one of a bewild ering assortment of other interest ing articles. Would she be pleased? Well, try and see! ! Jewel Maidens Sing at Court in Fairyland The sale of seats for the operetta, "Cinderella," which will be given at the Orphoum theater Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee, certainly proves that Har risburgers believe It will be a cred itable production and proves also that the work of the Sunshine So ciety is of interest to the commun ity. The funds raised at this time by the Sunshiners will be used for the coming two years in the work of uplift among cripples, shuttns and the unfortunates. The work of the many singers and dancers is a revelation to those priv ileged to attend rehearsals. The Jewel Maidens sing the Jewel song to the Queen and are supposed to deck her wtth jewels. They are: Minerva Butorff. Jennie Beach, Ellen Hnrris, Margaret Schreadley, Jose phine Roberts, Margaret Kuesel, WHETHER It be in a million-I dollar palace or In a tiny! home in some backwoods j liamlet, a beautiful picture always r holds a tremendous appeal. Human I j r.uture lias deep-down similarities wherever you find it and the master- \ i piece for which the wealthy lover of art pays a tidy fortune holds just. i as great un appeal for the average I man. Only he cannot afford to ! make It his own. At least, not the j j original. But he can afford to- pur- j ' chase a good copy for his modest i home. Beautiful pictures are not I alwuys expensive. In fact, at Saltz giver's*Art and Antique Store, 228 i North Second street, one finds many i artistic reproductions of the best works of the masters, selling for j' | comparatively small sums. Some j ! are already framed, while others ! await your choice of an appropriate , j molding—a proper setting to com- ' plete and enhance their beauty. (frTIHANK goodness, my gift problem is all solved," gaily announced one of my friends as she breesed into my office several days ago. "I hit upon just the dandiest scheme by which I cnir please everyone with the minimum amount of effort. Y"ou know how I detest Christmas shopping," she continued. "And you know how hard it is to find gifts that arc sure to satisfy cither the giver or the per son for whom tliey are intended. Well, naturally, I want to give peo ple something that they will really cherish and treasure Indefinitely, and I believe I've found the very thing. I'm going to have Itoshon, the Market street photographer, take my photograph. His portraitures are wonderful, really they are, and they are the one thing I can give my friends that they can't buy for themselves." Betty Patterson, Mary Francis Rockefeller. It's a beautiful dance. The Moonbeams, who are Lucille Beard, Pauline Salkin, Margaret Hann, Mary Harris, Mary Fager, Mabel Thompson, Mary Edwards and Florence Frank, execute grace ful steps as they glide about with the moon fairy, who Is "Moonglo." Miss Katharine Stamm with fairies, sprites, llowers, birds and many- Fairyland characters, one may easily forget the troubles of this work-a day world and go along to Falrland for a short visit.
