NO DETEN- ‘basiuess. to THE SHOPPER’S GUIDE. Useful Hints to Those Who Are in Search of Christmas Presents. Many of the perplexities of those who have Christmas presents to buy find a happy and easy solution in the daily epit- ome which The Star prints of what is of- fered in the stores, It is a helpful guide, id the following are some additional “pointers: A new word has ccme into the language through the enterprise of a Washington merchant. Perry, at the corner of 9th and the avenue, announces “a thousand and one givables.” That just fits the season. What to giv? is the problem of the hour. So such lists as Perry is now printh daily in the advertising columns ai sources of great joy to the Christmas buyer, who is often perplexed in the midst of such feasts as are now spread before the eye ig the shops. Perry's list includes some peculiarly appropriate gifts, and, though the prices are startling, it is the proud claim of Perry that there is no such thing as a “Christmas price” in his house. Worth, he says, guides the marking pencil. Carpets are not usually included in the list of Christmas goods, but these utilita-~ rian days are based upcn such practical principles that the announcement of a Christmas line of floor coverings is a boon to many a housekeeper. Rugs, carpets, draperies, tapestries and other fabrics that go to make the interior of the house beau- tiful, all are to be found in that glorious profusio: that means an easy choice at Moses’, on the corner of 11th and F streets. There are some startling prices being sched- uled. Values have been cut to the bleed- ing point. Qualities are the same, but an effort is being made to persuade the buy- ers to get such useful things as carpets and the like, and it will probably succeed with such inducements. The Palais Royal is making a great suc- cess this season with women’s wraps, and the stock is something to make the female heart mad with joy. The prices are such also as to cause a sort of millinery hys- teria. Can there be more said? It is a trade secret, openly confessed, that there has béen a vast stock of such goods thrown back on the hands of manufacturers by canceled crders, and Proprietor Lisner has taken advantage of the fact to stock up with the best goods at the lowest prices imaginable. Of the world of other things in the establishment at the corner of Mth and G streets there is no space to tell. The space that is daily reserved for the an- nouncement of the Palais Royal in the ad- vertising columns is crowded with sugges- tions, lists and good advice from an ex- perienced writer on such matters. Have you looked in Jacobs Bros.’ win- dew? It is a wonderfully attractive dis- play of rare gems and some of the price: are extraordinary. You know where it is, of course, 1220 Pennsylvania avenue. There 1s always a lot of people feasting their eyes at this banquet of brilliants. Dia- monds make beautiful Christmas presents, and if you do not want to spend too much morey some of the smaller stones, which are of fine quality, will suit you. Here are some of the special offers for three days only: A. solitaire diamond ring, wo7th $20, for $12; diamond screw earrings, $15; cluster ring, $12; double-headed snake rings, with ruby and sapphire, $20, only two-thirds their value. If you want some- thing very fine buy a pair of the 3 1-4- karat steel-white diamond »arrings for 225, saving about $75 on their value. If you are keeping house you must have flour, and if you have any experience you know that “Pillsbury’s Best" is what you want. Go to N. T. Redman, 950 Loutsiana avenue, and you can get it for $4.50 a bar- rel. He also sells the finest creamery but- ter. It is not often that in the winter time furs are offered at cost, especially about Christmas time. James Y. Dav Sons, hatters and furriers, 1201 Pennsylvania avenue, one of the old-established and re- liable firms of Washington, now have Alaska seal capes and jackets which they are offering at cost. They are daily in receipt of stylish capes, which they sell at prices from $20 up. ‘Those who are in the habit of using but- terine say that it is better than butter. It is said to be more surely pure and health- ful, and if you buy of Wilkins & Company, Center Market, you are sure to get a high grade article. The Gas Appliance Exchange is selling a fine line of gas stoves and heaters. Ra- diators may be had there at prices rang- ing from $10 up, and a good Taylor's fire- place heater may be had for $25. A good gas heater is a great comfort. By the use of one a cold room may be made com- fortable in a few minutes. Jewelry ‘s always acceptable in almost every form, and is suitable for gifts in- tended either for relatives or friends. R. Harris & Co., 7th and D streets northwest, guarantee their prices to be the lowest possible for first quality wares, and should any be sold elsewhere at a lower figure the firm announces that it will refund the dif- ference and deduct 10 per cent besides. The store is open evenings, and goods can be reserved now till wanted. A most desirable line of Christmas gifts is offered for sale at this establishment, and it is claimed that Christmas shoppers will save lots of time running from store to store, oy going direct to that of R. Harris & Co. feta! It is quite likely that canien Christmas day arrives the weather will turn crisp, cold and bracing, making heavy wraps com- fortable, desirable and necessary. Speaking of outer garments calls to mind the well- known fact that a seal-skin jacket is prob- ably the most acceptable article a man can give his wife, mother, sister or daughter. In this connection, it may be interesting to note, the old-established firm of Willett & Ruoff, 905 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, offers a number of seal-skin garments at exceptionally low prices. Useful Christmas presents for men in al- most every conceivable shape, form and style may be found at the immense estab- Mshment of Saks & Co. Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street northwest, which is claimed to be the only complete outfitting store in town. It is said to have the high- est grades of merchandise the world pro- duces, and no house in America does or can name lower prices than the one in ques- tion. If in doubt, says the tirm, make a present of a smoking jacket, bath blanket or dressing gown—in this stock will be found all the latest novelt Another good thing to give are Romeo, opera and Everett slippers. Long shawl muifilers are very popular and also very scarce, but they are to be kad at Saks’, at low prices. Satin suspenders, handkerchiefs of all kinds, neckwear, new collars, gloves and mackin- toshes will all probably prove a joy to every man on Christmas morning. Among other things, Saks & Co. agree to engrave name or initials on canes and umbrellas free, to put everything possible in a fancy box free, to hold purchases for late de- livery, if desired, and to make any ex- changes after Christmas that may be neces- sary. ‘An attractive spot for Christmas shoppers will undoubtedly be the new jewelry es- tablishment recentiy opened by Gerome Desio at 1107 F street northwest. All Mr. Desio asks is a visit, as he is of opinion that his prices are such that buying will follow naturally. The new store is spoken of as a modern jewelry palace, with oak mosaic floors and carved mahogany fix- tures in original designs. Every article in his stock is new and is of the very latest pattern and design. To quickly and ef- fectively intreduce his new location Mr. Desio announces that he will share profits with his customers by quoting special prices. A feature is made of solid silver spcons. B. H, Stinemetz & Son of 1237 Pennsyl- vania avenue always have a lot of good things to offer their numerous patrons dur- ing the holiday sevson, and they have even surpassed themselves in that respect. ‘They are the agents of the celebrated Knox hats, which are not approached in style or durability by any other manufac- turer, and they also offer the hats made by Yount the best at their price in America. Their stock of umbrellas is probably the best to be found in Washington, and thelr prices are exceedingly reasonable. Unless neatly and comfortably shod no one can possibly expect to enjoy himself at any time, much less during the merry holiday season. Mr. George W. Rich of Warren Shoe House, at 91 F street, is fully prepared to see that everybody is well supplied in this particular. He is of- fering special bargains in all kinds of foot- wear for the holiday trade, and calls par- ticular attention to his stock of French patent calf shoes, cordovan congress shoes, calf shoes in all styles and numerous varieties of button and lace shoes for ladies, all of which ure of the finest quality and superior workmanspip. Next to a newspaper of large circulation, Scott's mulsio the cream of Cod liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, is for Coughs, Colds, Weak Lungs, Consumption, Loss of Flesh, Emaciation, Weak Babies, Crowing Children, Poor Mothers’ Milk, in fact, for all conditions call- ing for a quick and effective nourishment. Send for Pamphiet. Free. Scott& Bowne, N.Y. AllDruggists. 50c. and$t. The “Old Reliable Berkeley,” a pure whisky with a fine bouquet, offered by James ‘Tharp, at S12 F street, is one of the finest whiskies on the market. Probably the best supply of trusses in this city is that shown at Gilman's Old Reliable Drug Store, at Pennsylvania avenue. His stock includes all the modern improvements in those articles, and he guarantees every one of his trusses to be perfectly fitted and entirely painless. They are adjusted on a scientific principle, and are offered at prices 50 per cent cheaper than elsewhere. “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” and therefore it behooves all Christian resl- dents to patronize the Godfrey Steam Laundry, at 1307 F street, in order that their linens may always be immaculate. The works of this firm in the power house are supplied with all modern appliances, and this enables the company to do the work with “neatness and dispatch.” Now is a good time to visit the estab- lishment of the To-Kalon Wine Company, 614 14th street, for the purpose of laying in that needed supply of superior brandy for mince meat, plum pudding, eggnog and other luxuries, without which the Christmas holidays would lose much of their charm. This company has a special line of brandy, which it fs selling for 5 cents a bottle, and $3.14) a gallon, Messrs. Manogue and Jones, 32d and M streets, are the agents in West Washington. As a method of attracting business there is probably nothing on the market better than the patented typewriter circulars turned out by Byron 8. Adams, the enter- prising printer, at 512 11th street. Every business man will undoubtedly need a new set of blank books for 18%, and the best place to get such articles ts at Easton & Rupp’s popular establishment, at 421 11th street. They offer spectal bar- gains in such articles and wisely suggest the advantage of early orders. Prince, the photographer, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Lth street, offers something beautiful in the way of interior studies as especially adapted for Christ- mas offerings. They are suitable for Par- isian panels and large photographs, and will undoubtedly prove very valuable in giving an artistic finish to the decorations of an apartment. He is so busy at present that special appointments have to be made. Washingtonians ought to be thankful for many things, and especially so as Christ- inas approaches, according to House & Herrmann, 9, 921 and 923 7th street northwest, and 636 Massachusetts avenue northwest, for any plan that will help to pessess what is needed without pulling your purse all out of shape. It costs money to buy furniture, carpets, draperies and stoves, but yet they are all necessaries. The firm in question claims that through its equitable credit sy it does. not take much cash at a time to secure any article or articles in its establishment. Payments are cut up in time and amount to suit customers. There are no extra charges, no notes to be signed and no In- dorsements to be made. Those in search of goods such as are tor sale by House & Herrmann would do well to thoroughly in- spect their stock and receive information in regard to the easy terms of making pay- ment. Wilson, “the shoemaker for tender feet,” of 929 F street northwest, is showing a special line of shoes for Christmas gifts. He wants to know what more useful or sub- stantial Christmas gift can be found than a pair of his $5 true comfort shoes, which he has in stock, and also makes to order. A special shoe for tender feet 1s also a drawing card. Mr. Wilson, as a special feature, invites customers to make fancy uppers for Christmas slippers, and he will make the leather soles. The uppers should be sent in without delay. ‘A special and elaborate display 1s shown to Christmas buyers by 8S. Desio, the manufacturing jeweler, at 1012 F street northwest. ‘Those at a loss for what to buy are reminded by Mr. Desio that a sterling silver combination key ring and cigar cutter makes a very useful present for a gentleman; he adds that he makes a specialty of sterling silver novelties. Among such may be mentioned glove but- toners, pie holders, hat markers, emeries, large sized shoe buttoners, nail files and embroidered scissors. As there is a great demand for these goods it would pay those in search of such to call early. An elegant holiday present is the Marks adjustable chair, which ts claimed to be the best chair in'the world. It can be seen, catalogue procured, at W. L. Pfeif- 411 llth street northwest. Every person who owns a horse without doubt appreciates the value of a harness—it is to a horse what clothes are to a man. A fine harness may not make a fine horse, but it certainly adds much to the appear- ance of an animal. It is an indisputable fact that it is wisest to get the best of everything, if possible. The Concord har- ness is said to be the best, and it is for sale by Lutz & Brother, 497 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, adjoining the National Hotel. Horse blankets and lap robes at low prices are also to be found at this establishment. Hat trimmings, says Mrs. C. Stlebel of 1113 G@ street northwest, are as important with her as hats themselves.
