Adventures
With a Purse

TNfDSE Of us with slender purses and
l. no heirloom in the form of a beaded
bag lovingly fashioned by grandmother
or maiden aunt somewhere in the family,
look longingly at those the shops are
displaying. If | could just afford even
one of the $40 or Sl5 ones" We sigh
Well now, if an entire beaded bag Is
quite out of the question. let me tell
you about those | saw today. They
are black, of silk material. and well
lined, and the opening Is a kind of oval
shaped flap which extends half way
down one side of the bag This flap.
which is fully three or four inches in
length, is deliberately beaded. and con-
trasts effectively with the black I've
tried TO give you an idea of how lovely
these bags are, although they are quite
difficult to describe. But if you want
a beaded purse if you need new bag
at least stop in and look at these. The
price is only 1895.
II there is one thing which disap-
pears into space, it seems. as quickly
as invisible hairpns tand did you ever
see the like of the way they go , it is
collar pins. And there are So many
uses for these little fancy pins. 4 re-
fraCtory cuff here, a stubborn belt there
and a small fancy pin would be just
what you need. Three of them saw
today on a card They are sterling sill
ver-topped. and I believe the assurance
is that they are hand engraved. And
the price, if you please, is only ten cents
what is that pin you are wearing,
dear?' you ask your neighhors little
girl, and she proudly displays little
silver finish Sammee hat. They can I've
secured with the blue cord for the in
fantry or the red cord of the artillery,
and are most attractive little pins. They
are priced ten cents.

Two RETURN to Ruth, she went
- through the day dazed. bewildered.
IL wasn't until afternoon when she went
to see Mrs. Raymond, that she felt at
all like herself and then II was because
she forced herself to be natural and to
really bring Mrs. Raymond the friendly
companionship she had planned.
Mrs Raymond had always offended
Ruth's ideas of what a mother should
he. That is to say her ideas on the
subject before she thought very much
about mothers and their relationship to
young people. Mrs. Raymond was slen.
der and young and possessed that alert
something that was so much part OF
Scott Ruth had always thought ner
too young for her age--she had once
remarked to some one that Mrs. Kay
mond lacked dignity. This afternoon
as she met her. she wondered how in
her very youthful mind she could have
thought of such thing
There was nothing stately and grand
about the Raymond apartment In the
first place it was old.fashioned-old.

that Germany. in answer to the de-
mand for an evacuation OF occupied
territory, will ask as an offset the
evacuation OF German colonies and
occupied Turkish territory. Accord
ing to some German newspapers. the
new Chancellor, Prince Macmillan,
will have no difficulty in announcing
the adoption without restriction OF

Germany is apparently hurrying, in

to appear to be a democratic state.
Political amnesty will be announced
and a new Governor will be appoint
ed for Alsace- Lorraine, Martial law
will be modified and a Liberal Min
ister OF War will he named. The
whole movement is expected to result
in the establishment OF a respon-
sible Ministry, which is now said
to be only a veneer.
The rumor persists that these Min

view OF causing the Allies to regard
Germany as democratic and TO well
