Adventures With a Purse

WHEN Peter came home from France
w he brought with him veritable
treasure chest-silks and laces-oh, nv
dear, one trembled for his pocketbook
And how we stood around open eyed
and excited, as he delved into that
trunk or this box, and brought I'M
something new to delight the feminine
eye. And need l say that sooner or
later out came squat fat bottle of
precious golden liquid. Upon investi-
cation the golden liquid was found to
contain the scent of all the lovely nod
ding flowers of sunny France. illP
No, l am wrong-just those with
sweet fragrance that delight one, OF
course. l treasured my bottle of "G.
aud flowers" Only on high days and
holidays did take precious drop Of
the golden fairy fluid. But, alas, slowly,
inevitably, drop by drop, it vanished,
and came the time when the perfume
was no more. For days afterward. I
languished. For ] well knew that an
other bottle was quite beyond my finan-
cial reach, even were / to stand on nv
tin toes. Then one day made a won,
derful discovery, | could still purchase
drops Of this fairy fluid in small uuan
titieS-within my reach. a tiny bot
tie can be bought for seventy five cents
1t contains only a few drops. TO be
sure. But those drops are so powerful
that only one of them is needed at a
time. And SO ] pass along this infor-
nation to you lovers of perfume. Let
your conscience be your guide.
And speaking of France. have YOU
ever seen the French stationery? One
shop is having a special sale of the most
intriguing note paper you can ever hope
to see. There will be a box of buff
paper with the most bizarre lining of
orange. Or there will be heavy white
sheets with an edging of black and
white stripe. Each is a perfectly fas
cinating French box, and each will ap-
neal to her who seeks distinctive writ
Ing paper. The prices have been re:
duced and range from Sl,25 to $3.50
a box.

WILSON PROPAGANDA

George CreePs report shows that he spent five million dollars, putting over Wilson propaganda at public ex- pense during the war. We say Wilson propaganda because the money was used almost entirely in putting in the groundwork for the later attempts to substitute internationalism for Ameri- can patriotism. As Senator Hiram Johnson says: They picked our poe kets to poison our minds.' The mil lion and a quarter spent in Europe was used in billing President Wilson about as three-ring circus is adver- tised in the United States. It was used to mislead Europe as to Ameri- can purposes, and as to the extent to which President Wilson represented American ideas and ideals. In this country the fund was used to spread the idea that what American soldiers were fighting for was not the Ameri- can flag, but Wilson's fourteen points, NSIy l4LIiS was Sdiu III dll IIldL pIU- paganda, you remember, about the ex- ploits of the American soldiers. It was devoted to the advertisement of the achievements of the Washington office holders. How much money was used by the Greet crowd out of Pres ident Wilson's secret funds, for whiah no accounting has been made, no one will ever know.
 Representative of an administra- tion which blew in millions of the peoples money for propaganda in be- half of Wilson and Wilsonism, are now protesting to hold up their lily white hands in holy horror because the Republicans are proposing to spend four or five million dollars to overcome the effects of the poison propaganda paid for out of the public treasury. While the administration s grand army of job holders is manning the Democratic defenses for the pres ent campaign. Republicans are ac. cused of perfecting an organization to carry the election! The other name of Democracy in this campaign is hypo- crisy.-Ex.
