It's interesting, says the New York
Times TO see what the average woman
Keeps in the article that she is pleased
to call her purse. There is on old ana
time-honored notion that purses are made
to hold money. The average woman has
changed all that, however. Money there
may be in the bit of silVcr-tipped reptile
hide that she invariably carries in her
hand, but il is in the minority. Samples
of every shade and variety are first and
foremost among the contents. Then there
is a whole arsenal of glove buttOners,
hairpins. pencils and the like Visiting
cards, memorandum books, letters ana
pocket handkerchiefs are next in bulg
ing evidence, and if she's q woman con-

spread out before him upon the average
woman's lap when the street car conduc>
tor steps forward to collect the average
woman's fare, and as some time elapses
before the sought for nickel is fished out
from all the debris, there's plenty Of time
for the chance observer to make COM
plete and accurate inventory. In It's ap,
parently limitless capacity, the purse Of
the average woman rivals the pocket of
the average small boy.
Talk about babies being mixed up,
Here's a case out in Indiana where a
woman and her daughter each gave birth
to a male infant on the same day, and
those who handled the youngsters got
them so hopelessly jumbled that no one
knows which the uncle and which is
the nephew.
A Chicago woman well-known among
society people, although not exactly a
member of the four hundred, recently as,
lie wearing three solid gold rings on the
third finger of her right hand. The bands
of gold fairly covered the joint between
the knuckles. So much curiosity was
aroused that one of her friends finally
asked her why she wore the rings in
"Oh'T She replied. that is the very
latest Paris fashion. | got it direct from a
dear friend of mine, who lives there

fever. l wear that in memory of him
The next one wear in joyful remem-
! brance of the fact that l got a divorce
| from my second husband, and the third
| ring reminds me that l am married again
and getting to be an old woman" she
concluded.
The latest prescription for the complex

| Dr. Johnson who first made out this pre-
scription. You remember, he says: Il win
have all my beds blown up-not stuffed
down is too hard" That sounds like It,
doesn't it, though the modern doc
tor says the trouble is down is
too soft? The latest modern conve-
nience for the travelling woman is a sort
of rubber bag, so constructed that in the
day time she can use it for a grip sack
to put her pajamas, etc, in, and at night
she can take the things out, blow the bag
UP and use IL for pillow.
Now and then a maid is met who is
enthusiastic over sparkling on wheels, and
of course, it is romantic. l know of one

skinned along the road. Far below them
the mountain swept, the gentle breeze
languored through the trees. and all the
world seemed in love. Their feet spurned
