"I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." Happiness as applied to kings is entirely out of style, I know, but just the same, the old nursery rhyme is called to mind by the pleased expressions on the faces of gift-seekers in this most surprising shop. I only wish I could mention all the articles shown. That being impossible, I shall satisfy myself with a few, say, for instance, candlesticks, book-ends, illuminated parchment mottoes, tea sets, vases, breakfast sets, electric boudoir lamps and all sorts of novelties imaginable. ONLY five more days 'til Christ mas add still no gift for that discriminating friend. Well, perhaps I can help you. Just let me think, Oh, I know just the very thing—a lovely Italian plaque. Mr. Saltzgiver has a choice selection re cently received from abroad. Or, if that Is not exactly what you want, how would artistic altar candle sticks do instead? Then too, I might suggest your photograph or better still a visit to the Saltzgiver Art and Antique Store where the gift that is "different" can always be found. DEAR ME, what a good time Old Santa Claus must have! And how well he stocks his' many branch hbuses! Take, for example, the Marianne Toy Shop, on Locust street. One wonders how he ever thinks of the never-ending variety of gifts he shows us there. Wise old fellow that he is, he has remembered everyone from the baby to the big, growing boy. For the latter, there are miniature chemical sets —per- fectly safe, of course —with test tubes, chemicals and ever? litmus paper. For little girls there are "Little One's Baking Sets," with tiny bags of salt and flour, a box of baking powder and all necessary articles, including a baking book and rolling. In addition there are hundreds of things that simply can't be mention-ed here for lack of space. {{fTVIER'S just one thing I want I for Christmas", declared a pretty young Miss several days ago. . . "And what is that?" X ventured to inquire. "A Louis neckpiece," she prompt ly replied. , . "A Louis neckpiece? I repeated, thoroughly mystified. "Yes " she explained, A neck piece made by Louis, the Ladies Tailor." "Oh," I laughed, "I thought per haps you were speaking of a new sort of fur. But why so particular that it should come from Louis' shop?" "Because" she replied, I know it's sure to be genuine then." Not such a bad reason, is it? I OVERHEARD a conversation in the "movies" several days ago that amused me considerably. Three met? in the seats back of mine were discussing Christmas gifts. "What do you suppose your wife will give you, Bob?" inqutred the first. "I'll never tell you," answered the one ad dressed as Bob, "but I wager it will be a gift worth receiving. You see, it's this way: About a week ago began 'pumping' to And what I wanted. Well, since she asked, I told her. That is, I didn't exactly des ignate the article, but I did most tactfully state that McFall's are showing the best line ever of bathrobes, neckties, reefers and gloves. I guess I mentioned initialed handkerchiefs, too. And, believe me, boys, I hope she takes the hint, for you can't beat McFall's for quality."

Harrisburg Barana-Fruit Co. 209-211 Chestnut St. IT isn't everyday that one finds a frock as all to-gether attractive as a certain little afternoon gown just arrived from New York to swell the number of beautiful garments already displayed in the Cloos Shop. Perhaps the very fact that it's a Dreeoll model accounts for its rare charm. Indeed I'm almost sure it does. Fashioned of lustrous, black charmeuse, cleverly beaded with steel, it boasts all the latest features of the very smartest gowns. With short sleeves and a cleverly draped tunic skirt, the blouse effect in front loses itself in a f loppy butterfly sash in black. As for being reason ably priced—well, to ask less would almost be a reflection against the dress. I wish I knew the reason why so many women finding buying gifts for men such a difficult task. It seems almost amusing considering the many possibilities from which they have io choose. In fact, in the Army and Navy Shoe Store alone there are enough suggestions from which to make a choice for almost any man. First in the list comes big, warm gloves followed closely by hosiery of all sorts —including the heavy woolen variety—bedroom slip pers, and shoes, shoes, shoes! That growing lad, in addition to his less useful gifts, would surely appreciate a pair of heavy shoes for school, the kind that all boys love to wear this snowy weather: DECEMBER 19, tviy. !Xmas Flowers | Laurel Wreaths • • . 30c # Boxwood Wreaths . . . . $3.00 up 1 Magnolia Wreaths $2.00 up W Baskets of flowering plants and ferns, $3.00 up | Poinsettias $6.00 per doz. up v Roses—the finest $2.50 per doz. up [ Narcissus $1.50 per doz. | Keeney's 814 N. 3rd St. ij ottt t * t ® * THE REAL GIFT SHOP* A OFFERS SUGGESTIONS ▲ 1 JT ....OF USEFUL GIFTS.... £ * LADIES' WAISTS $1.25 to $12.50 W JV SILK UNDERWEAR $1.39 to $9.98 A T HOSIERY to $3.50 X CAMISOLES 98£ to $2.98 T BRASSIERES 50£ to $1.50 X - 31LK GARTERS 49£ to $2.98 X GIBBON NOVELTIES to $1.98 X EXTRA SPECIAI Ladies' Silk Hose; W jfa. worth $1.50; Holiday Special 69£ J SMART SET SHOP* 5 North Fourth Street * A Pleasant Shop to Know Ahont A o£it& £ & £ 0 {"QUALITY FIRST" | Get Them Pure and Fresh ju fby\) Xmas Candies \ We zealously maintain the 4 w, high quality of our own make. !j 1 CHOCOLATES : 1 J BpPjsjp* 25 VARIETIES | ft" p Cocoanut Caramels m jf: | .
