Peggy Ann a-Shopping Goes

The Tilings Os Which We —have considerable knowledge are the things that we enjoy most, therefore the wider our field of knowledge the broader our field of enjoyment. Musical enjoyment has never been so general, nor so keen, as It has since the introduction and perfection of phonographs, because they have made music possible even in the humblest of homes. Os all phonographs, there is none -that has the reproducing mechanism as scientifically constructed as the Brunswick does. The oval amplifier, constructed of holly wood, is a perfect reproducing medium. Whether you like jazz, classical or religious music you will find Brunswick records that will please you These records are released as soon as made and can be had in the Brunswick department of the Baldwin Piano Company immediately after release. Tiny artificial wild flowers make beautiful table decorations. * • * When One Buys Jewelry —she usually feels the necessity of trusting the judgment of the person who sells It to her. This is why Peggy Ann shops at Mr. Petri’s shop, second floor of the Guaranty Building. Mr. Petri’s wide experience enables him to assist the customer in such a way that she is not only pleased for the time being, but her pleasure in the purchased article is enduring. Exquisite and expensive necklaces. rings and watches, as well as the novelties now so fadish, can be found in this lovely shop. • * * Knitted sports frocks are of very lovely designs and exquisite colorings. Hare You Thought That —the whims of Fashion seem to know no limitations this year; color, design, style are varied as never before. Although one may feel a hesitancy in buying costumes, dresses or suits of very extreme character she need not hesitate in the purchase of a hat, no matter how different it is, provided it is becoming and worn ai the proper time. The reason Peggy Ann enjoys buying hats at the millinery department. fourth floor of the Wm. H. Block Company, is because they have such unlimited variety that here one is able to find a hut tnat will suit the individuality of the wearer. When in this department, be sure to visit the French Salon; you will be delighted at the charming creations that are displayed here, they represent the highest skilled artistry of domestic and foreign designers. The newest and most exclusive models are priced right. * * Canary will be a popular color this summer, especially in knitted sports wear. • * • It Is Quite Possible —for a person to live and maintain perfect health for an indefinite period of time, on milk diet alone. This is true of no other single food. Are you sure that, you are getting your share of this perfect food? To be sure of pure milk from a sanitary plant, order Polk’s milk. * * * If Caesar Rivoli, Who —is the headliner on the Palace Theater vaudeville program this week, would give lessons in quick dressing, Peggy Ann is sure she would become a pupil. It is absolutely marvelous to the feminine mind how one can accomplish such lightning changes with the artistry of Rivoli. The clown stunt that Is staged between the bills is a funny stunt and the slapstick policemen elicit a lot of merriment from the audience. One cannot help but feel the desire to parade with the back stage folks. The bill at the Palace this week is very enjoyable; it is varied enough to appeal to the general public. Os all the films, feature, news and otherwise, Peggy Ann liked the Aesop Fable one best —it is real fun. Did you know that you could buy a matinee ticket to the Palace between 12 and 1 o'clock for the wee sum of ten cents? You can.
