BROWN LEATHER is EDICT
To Be Really Smart All the Various
Belongings Must Be of That Color,
No Matter the Material.

The brown leather era has arrived.
You're not smart at all if the most Of
your small belongings are not Of
brown pelt-real leather, walrus, seal
or morocco grain-from your automo-
bile dressing bag fitted with nickel or
ivory backed toilet necessities to your
strap bracelet holding a small gold
filed enameled watch. Between
these two extremes in leather come
innumerable conveniences. One Of
them, the handy pocket kit, comprises
a neat leather case containing a large
knife, small saw, a chisel, a cork
screw and a wrench. Another Is a
pigskin case containing a fiat, fash
like glass, folding knife, spoon and
fork, and third is a leather combina-
ton case lined with silk and contain
ing pockets for handkerchiefs, gloves,
wells and pins. Not unlike the last
mentioned case, is silk-lined recep-
tacle for neckties.
There are three types of sewing
case from which to choose. The larg
est is bag shape, closes with a draw
string and contains a pin cushion
scissors, cases of needles and reels of
thread. Next in size is a satin lined
folding case fitted with stiletto, tape
needle, bodkin and two thread reels.
Smallest of all is brocade lined
sealskin book holding leaf of need
les and leaf wound with threads.

instructive, intuitive confidence in i'm

trust our deepest feelings. He tells us
that we may depend upon the affirfna-

moment. 1t is true. If it had not
been so he would have told us. Then
Jesus goes on to confirm the instinc-

all that he was and Is, he set the full

'But he'll be here in day or So"
Speed felt as If very large man were

was too tight.
"Oh, I've talked 1t all over with
Jean. She doesn't want Culver to
run, anyhow"
"Why not?" inquired he, suspicious
