MECHANICS MAK*. NOVEL  ADDITION TO EQUIPMENT.
Improvements  Made  To   Potomac   Avenue
Hall—Changes   That   Will   Prove   of
Benefit—A Complete Home For
Fire-Fighters.
- The members of the Mechanics'
Steam Fire Engine .Co. bave still further added to thetr equipment daring
the past week. One of the newest
features in this equipment is a.supply
of rubber boots. Twenty-t-tree pairs
were purchased, a few of them by individual members. For, fifteen pairs
Chief Funk devised novel carriers. He
erected three iron frames on top of the
hose wagon and from hooks on these
the boots are suspended. The frames
do not occupy much space, are heat
and serve their purpose admirably.
When the firemen reacn the scene of a
lire they will take the boots from the
hooks and replace ■their ordinary footwear with them.
I Council has erected for the Mechanics a stable and a covered; shed in rear
ef the hall. The shed is for the housing of the old engine and the sprinkling wagon. "The stable is used as a
storage place for hay and there is, also,
in it a stall for a chance sick horse of
the company, A carrier will be rigged
up to convey the bay from the stable
cfcer the top of the shed, to a window
in the rear of the hall and (hence into
the hall. The improvements will
prove very valuable addition*?.

MY LADtS'SHOPPING TOUR
FOR PRETTY CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
A Good Place To Move  From.
If Hagerstown will only hold up
another ten years Waynesboro will
equal her population. Hagerstown's
"woe" and Waynesboro's "go" will
soon meet and then the latter will
forge ahead.—Waynesboro Zephyr—
We add a town as big as Waynesboro
every ten   years.—Hagerstown Mail.
Of course, Hagerstown does nothing
of the sort. Statistics during the past
few years show that people .believe

When my lady goes shopping in the
Chr__~_mas season she chooses, first of
all, to visit the dry goods stores, not
t^a^she proposes to miss any of the
other places where pretty things and
useful things arcshown—not she—but
she makes her earliest trip to the dry
goods stores because they are particularly women's market places. There
she feels at home. It is her particular domain. She knows how fine each
pjteoe of linen is, what each pattern of
dress goods should cost and can tell to
a nicety what shade of ribbon will exactly match the goodsiaf that particular waist. Dry goods stores were
meant .for her alon%-*-men have no
business intruding except to be loaded
down with the packages and to -fcay
the bills.
So that when my lady starts on ber
Christ mas-buy ing errands in Waynesboro she stops first afr^ie welt-known
dry goods emporiums.
Yal Smith's big section of the first
floor of"the Wolff block ' is one Chat
would attract attention in any city.-
Tbe stock of dry goods is immense and
she must be a very particular buyer
who cannot satisfy herself tfadfe. Mr.
Smith carries a full^line of staple
goods and this my lady knows when
she goes there and if she wants any
of tbem she is quickly supplied. Useful Christmas presents are all of these
staples. If, however, she wants something out of the ordinary for a Christmas present for someone w* something
odd which she can go home and £ell
her husband she fancies exceedingly—.
then Mr, Smith bas a lot of novelties
to show. For instance, he has an' especially fascinating consignment of
Turkish fancy goods, just received,
which will make very acceptable presents. They are pretty beyond the ordinary and tempting and do not need
such a large purse. Some of them
my lady would call "dreams", so
dainty are they in their embroidery,
of gold and silver and delicately-
shaded silks on silk and plush .Sid rich
linen. They are made in malls and
table cloths and unique pieces for
decorating a portion of a wall between
two windows or over the mantel. And
then there is a lot ot superb creations
in Sprachtel work embracing tidies,
bhams,-- centre pieces and scarfs.
And close by them are sterling silver
goods,—brushes, mirrors and all the
accessories to make my lady's dressing table look so tasteful and carry an
air of refinement witb tbem. Fancy
shell goods, combs, etc., help make up
the list of goods purchased especially
for Christmas, and umbrellas, of such
a widely different assortment of pretty
handles that no one could mistake another's for his own. All these in the
special Christmas line. In the staple
line hundreds of articles are displayed
and all appeal to my lady, because all
are attractive and useful.
Besore on the Squar e( what a happy
thought it was in Mr. Besore to copyright that name for bis big store on
the public square—it's original enough
in its double significance to lead everybody to go to his store just to see the
man who invented it)has rooms full of
dry goods and bouse- decorating articles
for tbe Christmas buyer and my lady
knows it, for she has been there, of
course. He is making specialities of
goods that are particularly appropriate for Christm?.s presents. If my
lady asks for gifts for a family she is
assured sbe can get them in that store
and a bewildering list of articles is recited for her. Here is a part of
this list: A full line of finest
linens, table cloths; Irish linen
towels, hemstitched and with knotted
fringe; lace and embroidered handkerchief; women's fancy neckwear in
fetching chiffons, crepe de chine and
mousseline de soie; women's and
men's fancy hosiery, applique work,
bureau scarfs, stand covers, women's
white aprons for 25 cents, a rare
bargain they tell yon; furs, womens'
and children's leggings,leather goods,
with especially pretty belts; a wopder**
ous assortment of umbrellas of colored
silk and fancy handles and scores of
other articles including a large lot of
pictures bought at a sacrifice and sold
at a small profit.
Good Bros, have added a number of
Christmas novelties and my lady has
found it out. You can see her there
at almost any hour of the day searching among these things for that particular article which most suits her
fancy. And she has a lot of pretty
novelties to choose from. Especially
enticing are the waists, made of silk
and French flannels and such graceful
shape and fine finish that my lady can
hardly resist the temptation to
purchase one (that is, if she does resist it). She knows it will fit her
snugly and that she and the waist
will together make up a very charming
picture. Then there are fancy embroidered aprons, linen sets, always
dear to a woman's heart; rugs, a full
line of bronze statuary, opal ware,
bisque ware, pretty little pictures,
scores of umbrellas, and all the staple
articles. Two articles hold her attention probably longer "than others.
They are the fancy house slippers —so
warm and comfortable for the bed-
I room on a cold night and the fancy
(down comforts upder I which she
can nestle when she bras thrust off
jthe foot-coverings. These downcom-
jforts are a specialty witja Good Bros,
[and the cold snap has called them into
prominence.
j My lady is attracted Hy the display
: in Forthman & Miller^ drugstore,
•converted out of its usuftl likeness by
the immensity of the clristmas goods
stock, andthere she re*fels in the examination of pretty ornaments for her
[home and dressing tabled Possibly she
'finds her admiration m«t excited by
khe vases of Bbhemiln glass—rich
works of art they axe—^r the majolica
ware ot bisque statuary or the Japanese ware, markedp_ll aver with the
quaintness of the/S-an^iwork of the
'people of that p_r*piess$ve little king-
jdom. Possibly tlie RAyal Worcester
[ware is^earer • to her^that does not
jmean dearer to her pocket—and she
fondles them ter%>m0 time. There
couldn't be a mistake made in any of
'these for parlor or library decoration
(nearly all are impOytfiji, by the way),
nor inthe pictutelbdisplayed. There
is a big lot of the Ijjgfler'to choose from,
ranging from excellently executed
water colors to * the oleographs, in
ebonoid and gilt frfcpnis particularly.
Then for the dressibg table there' are
countless toilet setk' i|anicure sets—
everything desiredf there—in sterling
silver and celluloid, and pretty lamps
to cast a soft light over tbem. Of
course, there is a ffti #ne of leather
pocketbooks, etc., there.
My lady may want to see another
lot of dainty things for decorative and
useful purposes and Mentzer & Clugston afford her ffce opportunity.
They have ah exceedingly choice selection of Christmas goods. Probably
Jf_e* prettiest is the "Wave Crest"
ware—exquisite creations of white
a_td tinted pottery? reminding you
somewhat of the tips of the ocean's
wave* whet^it is in a little bit of a
passion; It-|g|naCe ii*to jewel caskets
and cases, vales and a dozen other
[shapes, PrO«|nent in the display are
several cigarelfe jars, They are not
only pretty but *$hey are exceedingly
timely. My lady has wracked her
brain to find a present for her
brother-in-law or nephew who is
old enough to smoke cigarettes in
moderation and she^iill find in these
little jars just the thing to satisfy him.
If she is so minded she can accompany the present with the request
that it be kept empty and used for a
decoration only. But these are many
other things she has to select from and
she can suit "herself in ebonoid ware,
leather goods, vinaigrettes, hand
mirrors, candelabra,* perfumes, odorous *foaps—in a big quantity of pretty
and useful things.
Westward my lady takes her way
and in the drug store of C. I. Swartz
she encounters another very pretty
display of Christmas novelties. Of
course, Mr, Swartz has the exceedingly
popular "Wave Crest" ware in lots of
designs and a number of articles for
tbe dressing table in* Cosmon ware—
that'8 the term the trade applies to it
—my lady,however,knew it a year ago: s
aluminum—it's all the same and woi 11
be just as fetching under any other
name. Ebonoid goods, pocketbooks,
just burstihg to be filled—that's ai •
other example of the peculiarities of
our language—glove cases, necktie
cases for the peat man and dozens of
other things, not to- mention some
of the most tempting candies. Mr,
Swartz is making a specialty of delicious perfumes in bottles that are pretty enough to serve as empty ornaments.
The .perfume is extra fine, however,
and tbe two qualities combined make
a Christmas present that will long be
remembered.
The morning is not yet at an end
anil there has been no surfeit of the
views of Christmas presents because
all have been so beauty-full, so my
lady thinks of the boy and the girl
whose petitions have ascended in
whitest smoke through the chimney
to Santa Claus, and she goes to the
great toy emporium in the Wolff Block
where C. W. Shaibley is the most republican of autocrats.* There she almost yields to dismay at sight of the
hundreds of playthings for the children. Everything made this year for
their amusement is gathered in the
big store and in tbe cellars underneath.
A selection is so hard to make
that she wishes her purse was
as long as her youngsters'
stockings and she could buy the lot
and distribute it to every little one
who could toddle to the store to get a
part of it. Wbat a jolly Christmas
she and Mr. Schaibley could make for
Waynesboro's coming men and
women! But this great store is hot
merely a toy shop. There are other
hundreds of things for home decoration and for good solid service also.
There is no beginning to the description of them and no end. The delicate and aesthetic Haviland and Rook-
wood china and cereaee lamps appeal
especially to the buyers, as do the immense collection of pictures of all
types of art and handy little work
tables and book stands and go-carts
I and baby carriages and — well, do as
my lady did and go and see the store.
And if you want to—what's that some
big author said—"chew tlie cud of
reflection," in helping make your
selection, you have a well filled confectionery stand just at the door to
aid you.
