CARRYING THE PURSE.
A Problem Which is Seriously TROUBLING
the FAIR Sex.

Problem Which is Seriously Troubling
the FAIR Sex.
'How and where shall carry my
money! is an important question to
woman who has had her pockets
picked twice within a week. Once her
purse was in the chatelaine bag, sus-
pended from her belt, and which she
found yawning and empty upon reach
ing home. "And the clasp to that bag
was one | often had TO work over 70
desperation myself" she remarked
plaintively. ut bothered me dread
fully when was in a hurry, but that
very fact gave me a sense of security"
The second time her pocket-one of
those urSget-at-eble pockets, too, in
the scar region, where its unhappy
possessoE is forced 70 sit upon its con-
tents - was ignofnfniously TUNED
wrong side out. She tried carrying her
purse m her hand, and an elderly man,
with benevolent face, stopped her
and said: Pardon me, madam, but l
feel constrained to tell you that have
just seen a lady's purse snatched out of
her hand and the thief escape with it f"
The next time she sailed forth her
money was pinned securely inside her
dress waist. When she had selected
certain purchases she told the clerk she
would return soon and pay for them,
and pvoceeded 10 the ladies' dressing
room, where there were eight other
women engaged In extricating money
from similar places of security and one
deity removing a garter and turning
down her shapely hosiery. These
methods are pretty safe, but decidedly
inconvenient, especially when one has
purchases to make at different places.
Some women have adopted the separ-
ate pocket tied around the waist, I'M
der the dress skirt, but this, of course,
necessitates raising the skirt 10 reach
the pocket, and not infrequently, by
some method best known to them
selves, thieves manage to rifle them or
remove them altogether. It really
seems as if till some as yet untried
method of carrying it is devised women
must depend more upon good fortune
than any better security for the con-
tinned possession of the little article
whose purloiner is said to steal trash,
but which is nevertheless trash of a
kind which commends itself strongly
and almost universally to poor human
nat lre.-Philadelphia Press.

Is TO his interest TO Kill as many birds as he

He employs every means possible for the cap

and heavy charges of ammunition to that end.
There is one thing, however, that is TO the
credit Of the market hunter, and which "tbe

this: When the former pours TWO charges of

PoCKET-KNIvEs FOR WOMEN.
Contrary to Masculine Belief, the
Gentler Sex Carry Them.

Ungracious man will tell you that a woman
has no use for knife. He is ready TO certify
that she always sharpens her lead pencil with
her teeth, opens her letters with harDIn. and
when she wants to open Christmas packages or
picnic timed meats she borrows pocket knife
from him.
In spite Of such asperSiOns, however, she
does frequently own knife. aud It's usually
one she buys herself, says the Sun.
One JeWeer says that the proportion OF
women who buy penknives compares with the
number OF men In about the ratio of one TO
twenty, but he also admits that the average
woman keeps knife three times as long as a
man Will.
Occasionally the fancy for the curious in han
dies results in a collection. One young lady
has case OF fifteen. Among the odd ones
there IS one with a fragile handle of a row OF
turquoise, sci in a thin rim of silver; another
handle of porcelain, nlaId with the Turkish
coat ofarmS in transparent enamel in all the
colors OF the rainbow; this came from Constan-
tlnOple
One has the sides Of tin which the young lady
herself Smelted from the tin ore on a hot
