Adventures With a Purse

MOT SO long ago, told you about
the tiny rubber panties for babies.
In fact, TO make sure that those who are
interested would hear about them i even
wrote about them more than once. And
/ had the satisfaction Of knowing that
n great many were interested, judging
from the great number Of calls re-
ceived. But those panties we're of a
shiny rubber easily recognized as rub
Der. This might not be looked upon
favorably by some mothers, particularly
when they want to dress baby in best
clothes for visit. i now, however,
have run across some rubber panties in
white, but Of dull finish that resem-
bles white fabric. These are just as
efficaciOus, but their purpose is slightly
less obvious. The price Is 75c a pair.
And then, while we are on the subject
of babies, do let me tell you about the
Irish lace bootees, for the tiny boy or
girl who has not yet grown to the dig
nifty Of shoes. One look at them and
you picture a chubby baby leg, white
curled up, and tiny toes wriggling con-
| tentedly. The bootees have plain
soles, but all the rest; in fact, ali
that can be seen when on the foot, are
Of Irish lace, with a medallion smugly
set on the top Of each. They are lined
with pink or blue and are altogether
cunning and attractive. Their price Is
Toe a pair. ..s
Then at this same shop are tine medal
| lions. Perhaps you make your own
underwear. II SO, you can appreciate
the added daintiness that row Of Irish
lace medallions across the front and
back would mean. In fact, you know
much better than I how many ways In
which medallions can be used. These
are of good quality, a very pretty pat
tern and cost 85c dozen, which I con
slider remarkably reasonable.
