sweet potatoes ST. to $l.l0 a basket,

When one is reminded that it cost z

greater the latter part of last week. On
Monday 65 to 20 cents a bushel were
paid. On Tuesday the price dropped to
80 cents, OH Wednesday 30 cents and OH

Craze for Beads.

There is a craze for beads just at pres
emit At one time, and that not long ago.
well-dressed women refused to adorn
themselves with anything SO gaudy and
merely glass. Now. however. glass beads
are essential, unless one can afford
strings upon strings of genuine stones.
The glass beads arc beautifully cut and
can be had in many lovely colors. Strings
of them are worn to match the gowns.
Composition beads, such as imitation
coral in pink, red and white, and beads
of smoked amber. are much worn. The
latest TO be had is beads made of wood.
One can often get better beads and more
inexpensive necklaces by buying a guam
tity of loose beads in the art needlework
stores. Very often they have there sam
pie necklaces made up and 1t is very
simple matter to copy them. IL one is
original necklace can. fortunately, be
MADE that will far outshine any Of those
than can be bought.

RUBBER ENVELOPE
FOR THE TRAVELLER
Lining and Outside of Useful Little
Case Should Be Made
Separately.

Never was there a handler thing in
vented than the little rubber envelope
made TO contain the damp articles, such
as soap. face cloth. toothbrush, &c,
which it is necessary 10 carry along in
ones grip. Frequently we see the en-
velope in rubberized crctonne. or with
an attached lining OF rubber. Made in
either fashion. however, one has to be
exceedingly careful in washing them.
The cretonne is usually light. and it
usually soils much more quickly than
the rubber lining. The lining is easily
wiped of.
A solution to the problem is that Of
making the rubber lining and the outside
Of the envelope separate. Make the case
as large as desired. and any shape that
Is preferred. A small one which will do
for most occasions is foot long and six
inches wide. One narrow end has a Zap
on ii that is pointed and fastened by a
small patent clasp. II preferred. a but
ton and buttonhole may be substituted
for the clasp. Make the ruber envelope
12x6 inches, with a flap OF its own. Then
cut another envelope OF the same shape
but a half inch larger each way, from
white or tan linen. This second envelope
is for the purpose OF containing the rub
btT CdSt-
The linen case may be as simple or
as elaborate as one pieases. A simple
buttonholed scalloping on the flap, with
an embroidered monogram in one OF the
lower corners or in the center OF the
case, is quite sufficient. If the case is
tan linen, the embroidery should be done
in brown mercerized thread. The white
linen case may be in any color thread.
but white is preferable. Sometimes a
pale-gray linen is used. The gray linen
is pretty when embroidered in white.
When making the rubber envelope, II is
well to put long narrow pocket inside
of 1t to hold the toothbrush, and so to
protect the brush from contact with the
soap and cloth that will be carried in
the envelope. Not only are these travel
ing envelopes nice for ones self, but they
make most acceptable gifts for the girl
who Is planning her trousseau. the friend
who Is about to go on a journey. or for
a simple birthday gift to the friend who
occasionally spends the weekend away
from home.

DIR. Simon APPEALS
TO UNIVERSITY men
Says Responsibility for Welfare of Any
Community Largely Depends
on Them.
ADDRESSES COLLEGIATE CLUB

Fully twenty-five colleges Of the United
States were represented at the gathering
of seventy-five or>more men last night
at the Collegiate Club, 1901 Eleventh
street northwest, to celebrate the fifth
anniversary of the founding Of the club.
II was "get-together'' meeting Of col
lege men to emphasize the Importance OF
the college in modern civilization
The guests Of honor were DR.. Abram
Simon, rabbi OF the Eighth Street Tenn
pie; Milton Strasberger, recently appoint
ed by President Wilson as one Of the
municipal judges of Washington; Joseph
L. Topper. attorney. and DR.. J. Giushak.
Of London.
Each of the four guests made addresses
and a number of the members Of the
club gave informal talks, in which the
work OF Jewish coliegians OF Washington
and the work of the Collegiate Club were
mentioned.
, DIR. Simon spoke Of the duty of the col
lege man in his community. He said that
nowadays the town or city looked to its
collegians to take the lead in all matters
OF culture, and that IL was largely on the
shoulders of the college man that the re-
sponsibility for the refinement Of the COM
munity falls
Mr.. Strasbergcr spoke appreciately Of
the honor paid him by the President in
his appointment to the bench. but con-
fined his remarks principally to the work
OF the Collegiate Club in the last I've
years.
An appeal for an even deeper interest
in the college was made by Mr.. Topper,
who suggested that the Jewish men Of
every city should form circle of their
own for the advancement of college az
tivity. DR.. Glushak told the college men
of this country Of the activities Of their
brethren of the English colleges and uni
versities. Refreshments were served
after the speaking.
