I can't help comparing this
year's shopping with that of
.Jast year, particularly when I
want to buy china or house
furnishings. Do you remember
that last year there was no such
thing as a fifth floor? Chinn
was sold in the west arcade and
house furnishings in the buse
ment Now you get to these
departments by taking the
south side elevators, which have
recently been cut through to
the sixth floor; but at the fifth

FOR here it is that the most
alluring Christmas array
is presented. There is no one
on my list for whom I could
not choose a useful and beauti
ful present if I were so
minded right here on this
floor. The display arranged
for the benefit of Christmas
shoppers is the prettiest I've
seen in, any department of its
kind this season. One novelty,
displayed up near the entrance,
caused me to rub mj eyes and
Look
IT was a Japanese post lamp
of hand-painted parchment
in rich Oriental colors. When
I asked to see it lit I was sur
prised to find the bulb nestling
down in' the wide cylindrical
stand. The light shining
through the rich decoration has
a snbdued warmth that gives an
effect of cheery hospitality.
The wide shade gives a quaint
reminder of Japanese pagodas,
while the landscape brings out
more fully the atmosphere of
Old Nippon. I bought one and
turned to
Listen
FROM somewhere over near
the center of the room
came the mellow chimes of a
dinner gong. I was surprised
that I had to walk so-far to get
to the center of the room! And
all the way over I walked .be
tween tables of china in French,
English and other European
makes, as well as fine Vmeri
can porcelains and crystal
wares of the most alluring de
signs. But I finally found what
I was after dinner chimes in
four tones, with felt-co Ted
hammer. It is a gift that will
be appreciated by people who
like to entertain.
Aborigines
WHERE do you suppose
those v Mexican IndianB
got the designs with which they
decorate their strange pottery?
Those pieces have designs so
strangely like some of the
Egypian characters and even
slightly resembling the ' Greek
or Roman designs with which
ive are familiar, I sometimes
wonder if Columbus was just
as up-to-the-minute as he
thought he was. These pieces,'
they tell me, are made by the
Indians of Guadalajara, with
out supervision of any trades
men, and really, their very im
perfections of shape and design
speak their genuineness.
Garrulous'
T COULD v talk all day about
A the things I saw in the china
department, but I mutt tell you
about the house furnishings de
partment. It occupies the en
tire west end of the floor. Elec
tric goods are displayed in very
complete assortment electric
irons, Roasters, grills, chafins;
dishes, percolators, and even,
over by the north wall, they
have vacuum sweepers, washing
machines and ironing machines.
Complete
THERE are serving trays and
nut bowls in mahogany,
casseroles in Guernsey and Py
rex glass. And then there, are
the wonderful things for the .
kitchen tables of gleaming
aluminum, flashing white
enamelware, shiny black roast
ers and ranges, both for gas
and coal. The .combination
ranges, which will burn either
gas or coal, are wonderful con
veniences for the small kitchen
where both are used. And the
prices here should decide ny-
one to buy in this department.
A rise in the world, not only
in altitude, but in class and in
service has been the fortune of
these two departments. They
have advanced from the main
and basement floors to the
fifth floor, and where last year
they occupied 12,710 sqbaw'.
feet of floor space, .now they
occupy 35,000 square feet.
