Adventures
With q Purse

WHILE not all Of us have rich rela-
w tons, there is hardly one but has at
least a friend who, if not wealthy, GER
tanly seems to have everything the
heart could desire The result Is that
when Christmas comes around the ques-
ton of what to give becomes poser.
Now, If by chance that friend has "a
automobile, here is a suggestion: 1t is a
decoration for the hood Of the machine,
and consists of an eagle with spread
wings. in a kind of silver finish metal,
and coming from its back is an Ameri-
can flag in COlors. This screws on the
front of the hood, and is a particularly
timely addition to a machine right now
The price is $3.50.
The man who invented this game"
said my father impressively, is an ad-
vance agent for an insane asylum" and
he continued to rattle the little glass up
and down with absorbed interest in an
endeavor to get the five little metal rings
On the central peg. That one foolish lit
lie game has afforded our family more
amusement than | can tell you. We
actually quarrel over who is TO try 1t
next, and when | finally wanted to pack
it in the Christmas box / was sending
away ! had to take it away when my
dignifed father wasn't looking. 1t con-
sists of an inverted wineglass. over the
top of which is glued round cover. In

rings. The object is. by shaking the
glass in whatever manner seems to you
most likely of results to get those rings
all of 'em-on that peg-a kind of in
door quoits. The most I managed was
four, and at that ! hold the family rec
ord. The price of this absorbing toy Is
only fifteen cents, and you will have
many times that amount of fun with it.
1t might he a good idea to tuck one in
the Christmas stocking.

Curtain Thrift

As Dutch and sash curtains are now
much higher in price, when one needs
new ones she may economize In their
purchase for just half the price. Buy
hemstitiched and openwork border on
each side. Cut 1t down through the
center fold. and with the sewing ma
chine put a very narrow hem on each
side. Each curtain may be about twenty
one inches wide. The sash curtains may
be made likewise. Very nice remnants
may sometimes be procured at half
price, making the cost even less.

a medium for letting the bystander
know her personal affairs. But letters
letters are the most splendid form OF
publicity of all.
Take, for instance. the senior at col

her if the girl in question happened
to be impressionable. There was the

Foutds' and Curly Q are buy words
for macaroni. Buy words that bring you
a macaroni distinctive and different.
After you have once tasted Foulds'
Curly-Q Macaroni you will be as careful
to insist upon it again as you are in secur-'
ing your favorite coffee or tea, because
there is more difference in macaronis than
most people realize until they have en-
joyed the superior flavor. frmness and
tenderness of Foulds' Curly-Q Macaroni.
The quality and flavor of Foulds'
Curly-Q Macaroni is the result of some-
thing besides good material and skilled
workmanship. That something besides
embraces years of experience, years of
knowledge, years of determined effort to
produce macaroni of supreme excellence.
The present high prices of meat are
doing much to lessen it's daily use as food.
But meat eating is declining for other
reasons than high prices. In Foulds'
Curly-Q Macaroni you have food that
answers the craving for meat. completely
satisfies hunger, tempts the appetite
and food that makes strong bones. firm
muscles, healthy tissue and clear brains.
You prepare an almost endless
variety of dainty food combinations with
