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,

! 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 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

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.
Tickets may be procured at the
boxotflce of the Orpheum theater.
