Adventures
With a Purse

TT WAS while I was still seeking that
L lapis -lazuli ring for my nice out of
town lady that / came across this shop.
l will venture to say that you have
never heard of it, and that it would
never occur to you to go in it, were it
not for what l am going to tell you.
My story has to do with rings. These
rings are sterling silver, each with a
large oval center stone, resembling
onyx, strikingly dark and highly pol
ished, jade, cool and lovely, or opals,
fiery and colorful. The center stone is
surrounded by well-cut brilliants, and
the entire setting is mounted on Il sort
of crown effect. The simplicity of the
rings, together with the striking con-
trast of the large center stone and the
brilliants, combines to make them re-
markably effective. The price is 50.
/ always argue that one can keep
warm from the waist up in cold
weather, because. If necessary. one can
slip on top coat over suit coat.
But from the waist down extra clothes
are needed. Yet there are many of us
who prefer not to wear heavy under
wear. 1t is to them that address my
self in this adventure. For l write,
not of heavy underwear, but of warm,
cotton KnlCRerS. lney give Just the
extra weight needed for cold weather,
and they are very neat and trim look :
ing. One shop has them in black, pink
or white for 50 cents a pair.
I've been trying to think of a way
to begin this adventure, but cannot,
so I am Just going to start. / want
to tell you of a bath strap. 1t would
not be seemly in this quite proper col
umn to go into the details of the diff
ficulty of washing ones back. refer to
it delicately and hasten on to describe
the bath strap. 1t consists of a good
sized pad, slightly rough. attached to
two straps. One just puts it between
ones shoulders by means Of the straps
and rubs vigorously. In addition tc
other advantages, its roughness keeps
the blood in good circulation, anc
should, therefore. prevent cold. The
price of one Of these straps is sc
cents, and as they say in all the best
advertisements, "No bathroom is com
plete without one"

Another Dancer-Do You know what

that respectable girl would go to a

Do you think that a respectable girl
would ask a young man into her parlor

Do You think a respectable girl would
kiss a young man good night? "Why
no." But any girl who goes to dance
halls does that and you know it, too.

I am a good dancer. too. and l know all
this, but a man is a man.

many respectable girls who do it. 1t is
mistake. for girls may not lightly
overturn conventions. But you are en-
tirely too sweeping in your assertions.

BUY FoRE.oUARTER BEEF AND

The fair price commission declares
that If consumers will buy more fore.
quarter beef-whence come less ex-
pensive cuts--they will save money.
Here is something which the United
States department of agriculture re-
Gently said on the subject:
Because of its reputation as the
choicest cut, the people ask for por.
terhouse steak, whereas IL they would
try a chuck steak, the chances are 1t
would prove TO be satisfactory and 1t
would cost much less. The reputation
of porterhouse steak with the conse-
quent large demand for II, coupled
with the fact that this cut forms only
n very small per cent of the carcass,
causes 1t to sell at higher price than
any other cut.
az people In general could realize
the value of meat from the forequar.
ter as compared with that from the
hInd.quarter and would use more of II
prices Of meat as whole would be
greatly reduced and would be more
stable.
"An abnormal demand for any COM
modify forces up the price and this
condition applies to porterhouse steak
or other choice cuts. People should
use more fore.quarter meats and re-
duee prices of living Any of the fore
quarter meat is good for making
meat loayes or Liberty steak, while In
some markets. steaks are cut from the
rib and sell as short cut steaks"
The department of agriculture
shows plainly how expensive it is to
discriminate against the fore-quarter
beef.
