Adventures With a Purse

no YOU belong to a card club! Are
- you planning party very soon? Do
you know OF any affair you are going
to have for which you will want prizes!
After which purely rhetorical questions
i will now proceed to tell you what l
have in mind. There Is nice little
shop know of that has a whole host
Of pencils. Some OF them are sterling
silver. others are gold finished. Some
of them are quite plain, while others
are decorated with engine turned de-
signs. All are about the same size
just right 10 carry In ones pocketbook.
and each is very pretty. The price of
the one you would like Is seventy five
cents. And, as suggested so cleverly
at the beginning, a nice little pencil like
this would make splendid prize, or
a little gift, for the matter of that.
There was a time when I vowed and
declared that one certain shop in this
city had the loveliest neckwear that
could be bought. Well, / still think 1t
with certain reservations. That shop
does have beautiful collars and the like,
but have found recently that the as
sortment is inclined to include only
pretty high priced things. But in my
adventures here and about l have dis
covered another shop that has begun to
make quite feature of its neckwear,
and want to say that the values are
lust plain amazing! There ! have seen
Irish lace collars for as low as 81. Filet
collars as dainty and attractive as you
would find in many a days walk are as
low as 81 .S5 md $2.10, and have seen
collar and cuff sets of Irish lace for con-
siderably under $40. Actually 1t Is a
dangerous thing to go to that shop,
for you stop with the express purpose
Of buying one collar, and before you
know it, IL you are at all fond of pret.
ty neckwear, you have made several
purchases. I should like to have you
stop in the next time you are in town
to shop. ,......----... .,.-.s,

yet a lovely box, including three arti- :
cles of the same scent. This box in
cluded nice fat box of powder. Then
in another corner Is nice cake Of soap,
of the same perfume. And then over
! in another corner Is bottle of the toilet
water. The whole box, with its fasci-
mating contents, is only 81, although
am quite sure that bought separately
the articles would amount to consid :
erably more than that.

CHE was watching with an amused
~ smile while her mother retrimmed
last years best hat to be used as this
years everyday hat.
But she didn't interrupt or correct
or suggest until the trimming was all
pinned In place, and her mother placed
the hat triumphantly on her head.
"There!' she cried. "How does II
look2"
Then daughters smile changed to one
OF gentle tolerance.
"But, Mother!" she reproved indul-
e. gsnsly. ,y "It's IT,. 80 old fashioned Here
And then, ripping OF all the carefully
pinned trimmings, she picked up an or :
nament out, Of a box Of millinery dis
pinned II in place and held up the hat.
There" she said, complacently.
That's something like!

looks very plain and severe to me.
TIP TO q certain point It's mother
~ who knows.
She plans pretty dresses and the right
kind Of hats for her little girl. She
picks out suitable coats and sensible
shoes.
As time goes on she consults daugh :
ter: Would you like this kind Of a
dress for school7"
And after while the consultation takes
this form: Mother. Emma has the
hest looking suit couldn't have suit,
Mother? I've been wearing dresses and
long coats for so long--please, mother! y
Very soon after that 1t resolves into
the I'm going to have brown sport
suit this year, and then i can wear
that brown hat / had last winter every
day, and get "A little velvet for better
times" which marks the end oi
Mothers regime in the clothes kingdom.
From that time on mother doesn
appear very prominently in the selec-
ton of daughters clothes.
Sometimes she remarks feebly, "Oh,
Jessie, are the. girls wearing hats like
that? It looks SO wild?' 'r

What TO DO
BY CYNTHIA
Their Pant, Wsrs short

Dear Cynthia--The other day I gave a
party. asked the girls TO bring their
friends along. Everything went along
nicely until one girl came IN with three
boys with short pants (giris age seven.

girl that brought the three boys TO tell
them to go home. She did 20. without
right. / felt very bad. /. e.
Since the girl brought these boys they
should not have been asked to leave.
Perhaps they were seventeen. some
small boys do not don long trousers
till that age. II seems to me that the
girls were all very rude to these boys
including the one who brought them.

AVIS FROM THE WEST,
Your fathers own friends may be old

to whom they can introduce you. Ask
them to do so, IL they have not already.
Good Advice to ."shorty"
Dear Cynthia--I promise not to bother
you with a long poem this time, but
may I have permission to speak to
Unhappy. shorty? / thank you.
I'm Just a tall girl. Shorty. but ! sup
pose your letter applies to girls as well
as women. I am Ave feet eight inches
tall and weigh 100 pounds Therefore
have pretty far to 60 to get to zoo.
l, must beg to differ with you IN your
statement that tall women always pick
on short men for husbands. Do not
fiatter yourself, for most tall women do
not love little men. In the second place.
Il Is the man who proposes marriage.
therefore It Is his own fault IL ne
chooses the wrong girl. II you think
short men are foolish 10 marry tall
women why did you do so2
You do your wife n great injustice.
You admit that she 10 n good wife so
what is there to be afraid OF? should
call any man coward who Is afraid
Of his wife. Judging from your letter.
you do not take much interest In your
only Of what you would do II you had 1t
to do over again. Foolish man, perhaps
this Is what makes your wife "bossy'.
Suppose you forget about your own
troubles for a while and think Of hers
Have YOU done a husbands duty toward
her and tried to make her happy?
Any one who is unhappy Is inclined to
be sharp, you know.
Erace up, Shorty. Be n man. Take
an interest III your home. Win your
wife's love again and you Will fnd she
will cease to be "bossy." 'Gr '.
What matters II one mate be tall
And stout beyond compare?
And II the other mate be small? a.
True love makes all days fair.
