The Berryhill ' 3799-M IS there anything I can say to make you realize what excep tionally attractive underwear is shown at the French Shop? I fear not. You must actually see it to appreciate its real beauty. I can, however, truthfully say that, with out exception, I have never seen daintier, prettier "undies" anywhere. .Attractive silk vests, exquisite com binations ar/d soft, lovely camisoles compete for favor with a most ap pealing assortment of boudoir caps and slippers. And the display does not stop with garments of silk. No, indeed. Equally as much in evi dence are those of hand-done Philip pine work. For the intimate gift nothing lovelier could be chosen and for the less personal one there are stunning evening scarfs. I HATE to give a gift that anyone might choose, don't you? An ordi nary gift indicates a lack of thought and care that isn't exactly com plimentary to the person? for whom it is intended. Many people, how ever, feel that the unusual gift must necessarily be very expensive and, therefore, make no effort to find the things that are "different." Let me say right now that such an idea is all wrong. At Saltzgiver's Art and Antique Store, for instance, you can get all sorts of distinctive gifts for a comparatively reasonable sum. Particularly desirable are the artistic Ital ian plaques or the altar candlesticks, arwl not to be excelled are the rare little etchings found there. <<T") LEASE tell me where I can? find the best fur-lined gloves for men," requested a Voice over the telephone one day last week. "Gladly," I answered. "I should advise you to go to McFall's. I have seen their gloves and can recommend them without hesita tion." The Voice politely thanked me and the incident closed so far as lam concerned. But. because of that little conversation, some man will re ceive a gift on Christmas morning that will satisfy him completely. Any man who receives a gift from McFall's is sure to be more than pleased. Why? Because the qual ity and design of their shirts, ties, bathrobes and initialed handker chiefs, in fact, any article in the store, is far superior to the ordinary variety.

WITH all the dances scheduled for the holiday season, Milady will need at least one new evening gown—perhaps two. And ample provision for supplying her wants has been made by the Cloos Co., in the Penn-Harris building. Any woman, no matter how plain, would appear attractive in one t>f their gowns they're so utterly charming and feminine. Perhaps you have noticed the display in one of the windows of a modish assort ment of pussywillow taffeta crea tions in pastel shades of blue, yel low, green and rose. In every in stance the newest silhouette is gained by the use of clever side drapings and several of the gowns boast cuffed bottoms. * MI anxious to get home?" exclaimed a local college lad whom I accidentally met on> a train last evening as he was re turning to this city for the holidays. "Well, rather—for more reasons than one. You see, It's this way," he continued with a grin, "I need new shoes so badly that a trip to Harrisburg is almost a necessity." "Don't they sell shoes in R—?" I inquired. "Yes," he laughed, "they do, but n-ot the kind I like. Per haps I am too particular—l don't , know—but the Army and Navy Shoe Store kind is the only kind for me. Wear? Why, you just can't wear them out and as long as they last they retain their shape. So, hurrah for the Army and 1 Navy!"

She took part in college plays during her entire four years at the college, being cast for leading roles in several in stances. A press notice, after the junior recital, "The School For Scandal," said of her: "In the screen scene, Miss Fahnestock's im-1 personation of the seven characters in trying circumstances was excep tionally well done, showing great skill and ability to make her char acters real to her audience." At present she is engaged in junior Chautauqua work which the Chau tauqua Association of Pennsylvania. Miss Bevard, who will assist Miss Fahnestock, is a former pupil of Mrs. M. Pfuhl Froehlich, and mem ber of the Wednesday Club. She is recognized in local musical circles as one of the city's most talented young musicians.

Gilbert Is Host at Birthday Anniversary Dinner Spencer C. Gilbert was host on the occasion of a delightful birthday dinner at his home, in North Front street, Saturday evening. He had invited to break bread with him on the seventieth anniversary of his birth a number of old friends who thoroughly enjoyed the clever inci dents of the evening. Every guest through conspiracy with Mrs. Gil bert tendered the host seventy shin ing pennies with an appropriate sen timent that gave rise through the dinner to much hilarity and ex pressions of good will. Admiral Tracy, of the Greater Harrisburg Navy, had some secret understand ing with Mr. Gilbert regarding a mutual enterprise and this came to the surface frequently in witty ex changes between Mr. Bergner, the prospective general counsel of the aforesaid mysterious enterprise, and the others interested. It was alto gether a most interesting and en joyable affair and in view of the fact that the natal year was 1849 all present were referred to as "Forty- Niners." Pairing the day Mr. Gilbert had been pleasantly surprised at his place of business by all the em ployes who remembered the occasion with a big bunch of American beauty roses, one for each year.
