Adventures
With q Purse

T CAN picture you brushing your best
hat as you prepare to put it on and
gazing at It ruefully. 1T was u good
hat" you sigh, but it's beginning to
look sort of tired, | really need a new
one" And if you are prudent,
thrifty sort of person YOU will not want
a straw one yet, while, on the ether
hand. the purchase of another velvet
one will now seem unwisc. Which is
the reason for my telling you about a
tiny hat shop / know of where the
Shopkepper works with skillful fingers
TO fashion modish satin hats in all
Colors. If YOU see model in brown
that takes your fancy. but feel henna
would be more becoming to your pc
culiar style Of beauty. why, then, she
will make one up for you in henna.
"And how much are your hats |
asked her, knowing that they are en-
tirely hand made. 1.-THE satin hats"
she replied, 'are SIS to 50. Think
Of it
Ono shop is having a sale Of scarfs.
all at reduced prices. One in brown,
soft and woolly with tan stripes, has
been reduced from SO to $3.50, Then,
there are others, in plain colors, silk
and wool, which have been reduced to
50. The nice part of it is, you know
they are good value, for these scarfs are
at one of Philadelphia oldest and best
shops.
once said that It is in out of the
way corners that one finds the best
things. But not always. For like
the man who sought the four leaf clover
you may have been looking all around
for something extra nice IN the way
of bun or cake for breakfast or tea,
when all the time you can get some
thing right in the convenient center OF
town. | speak of a nut cake. In the
appearance of the cake it is much like
a coffee cake, with white icing But
instead of raisins it has delicious
crushed nuts in all sorts of unexpected
hooks and cranuies and, of course, it
is fragrant with aromatic cinnamon.
And here is a secret--if you let it get
lust little stale, and then toast it, the
nuts become warm and the cinnamon
runny" and sticky" aud you have
delicacy fit for king. A gener-
Gus sized cake, which should last a
family two or three mornings, may be
had for fifty FIVE cents.

That viscous film which you feel with
your tongue is the cause of most tooth
troubles. 1t clings to teeth, enters crew
ices and stays. The tooth brush does not
end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not
dissolve it. So it stays much of it
and may do ceaseless damage.
That is why SO many brushed teeth
discolor and decay. You leave the film,
and that is the great tooth wrecker. De-
spite the tooth brush, statistics show that
tooth troubles are constantly increasing.

How Teeth Are Ruined

That film is what discolors not the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid in contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. Dentists
call the film bacterial plaque" Those
germs, with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
