THE NEW BAGS.

The very newest idea in bass Is the
MORE bag. There are all sorts and shapes
Of MORE bags. ranging from the small
oblong purses To the large bags elabo-
rately fitted out with mirror and all the
vanity nxings 4 handsome bag in black
MORE opens very wide, revealing at "A
glance the contents OF the entire bag.
on one side there Is mirror resting
against the soft white silk lining. and
in the side pockets the card case, change
purse and other necessities. Such a bag
can be purchased for SIS
edged with an inch pleating OF the MORE.
Another very much smaller bag has a
deep pleating Of the MORE. The mono
gram should be stamped in one corner
and outlined in rhinestones.
To slip into the muffs there are Ions,
oblong purses In MORE with the flexible
gold or. platinum frames. These are
really "A development of the cigar and
cigarette cases which pleased the men so
hugely two or three years ago. The
MORE purses have the advantage over the
fur purses OF the same shape In that
they can be carried with the spring suit,
The old-fashioned reticule with the
OPENINGS at either end IL now fashioned

MORE ones are newer than those in
brocades and other Eastern stuffs which
made their appearance this fall.

principal Industries of this German

of three stories, the fire being kindled
In the lowest and the meat hung In

smoke ascends through holes In the
flooring. Westphalian hams are in
variably smoked over a bright fire
made of beech-wood only, except that

sawdust Ia strewn over the fire In

SAFE SMART WORK
Ingenious Operations of Burglar
Who Mas After Wealth Of Berlin
Money Broker.

The confidence of German manufao-
turers OF safes in the resistance Of
their works against ordinary safe-blow-
ing operations was rudely shaken not
long ago by the feat OF a single rob-
Der In Berlin, who operated in this
fashion:
In a hotel q room was secured which
was situated Immediately above the
Office of q money broker. At night a
hole was pierced In the ceiling Of this
office. BY the use OF a drill and saw
a circular piece OF the flooring was
easily raised. Beneath lay q thick
layer OF cement. A small orihce was
made in this and an umbrella showed
down into the space below. The UNI
brella was attached firmly from above,
and when opened received without
noise all the fragments OF cement
which were d%islodged as the hole was
enlarged SO as to allow Of the easy
passage of a person, By NEAR of a
rope ladder the descent was made
readily into the ONCE below. The next
steps Of the thief's work consisted in
the bringing down of two cylinders of
compressed oxygen and an ~acetylene
generator charged with calcium car
bide and water. With these he was
able to produce a blowpipe fame OF
such intensity that steel fuses In IL
like lead in an ordinary gas Jet. 1t re-
quired only a brief space OF time to
melt away so much of the door that
the contents OF the safe were Access

Some insects digest their food 1rst

built as to be able to take only liquid
food and they inject q digestive fluid

formed until nothing remains but the
