You need have no fear that your gift will not be appre- ciated if you decide upon giv- ing “him” or “her” a pair of slippers. Such sensible pres- * ents are lasting remembrances of the giver. We've got just the sort of slippers that are best suited for gift-giving— styles which are out of the or- dinary—and entirely unlike the sort that have been doing gift-duty in other stores for years. For men we have every cor- rect kind—slippers of tan, kid, goat, calf and the rest—as comfortable and cozy as they are stylish. For ladies we have all the novelties—for toilet—for bou- doir—in endless variety—Ju- liets—felt and satin quilted house and breakfast footwear, etc. “If they’re Rich’s shoes they’re proper.” An immense stock of every sort of high grade footwear— splendidly adapted for gifts— practical presents sure to be amply appreciated. Isn’t it a pleasure to know that there’s such a store as ours within ready call—where you can always find the new- est novelties in ladies’ evening footwear? This fact bears a special importance now that preparations are being made for the New Year day recep- tions—balls and other social events.

Mr. and Mrs. Leiter and the Misses Leiter are in Chicago to spend the Christmas hol- idays with Mr. Joseph Lelter, whose opera- tions in wheat have focussed public atte: tion upon him the past few weeks. This extremely interesting young man, who seems to understand how to manage his first share of his father’s millions, is a great favorite in Chicago. He has a hand- some residence, with plenty of servants, and he van make his family very comfort- able during their stay in the windy city. The Leiters have an abiding faith in the common sense of their children. It is said that the confidence they have reposed in their eldest son, with the success which has for several years accompanied his in- vestments, is now the main reason why his Judgment in his wheat deals will be backed up by just as many of his father's reserve millions as the emergency will justify. That both father and mother regard thelr only son as capable of administering the great fortune which he will inherit recalls | N. an incident which diverted society consid- erably last season.

In order that Christmas ef next year may not find you short of funds, small weekly deposits with the Natioral Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company, corner 15th street and New York avenue, will best accomplish this end. Deposits from 10 cents upward are received, and, although these are small amounts, at the expiration of a year it will be found that quite a snug little sum has been realized.
