bootleggers ashore. Suddenly and ST.
lently, the pirate ship appeared out Of
the evening mist and drew along
side. Her skipper boarded an anchor
ed vessel, flashed a huge roll OF cur
rency, and bargained for the pur-
chase of 200 cases Of whisky.
When the liquor had been Transferred
from the hold of one vessel to the
other the pirate calmly stuffed his roll
out Of sight and leaped aboard his
own craft. The victimized crew ran
for their guns. When they returned
they found themselves looking into
the muzzles Of eight automatic
pistols. as the mystery ship silently
dove away into the darkness.
This quick disappearance act has
earned the pirate ship the name Of
"Pelyean" among those in the rum
running trade. it was said.

Sometimes, said Mcdonald. the Vol

crew would line the rail-at a safe
distance-drinking from a newly
opened bottle Of liquor.

the work with delight. She has had
few opportunities recently to empty the
contents of the scrap bag on the bed
and search among its heterogeneous col

purpose in view. Now she has the
chance.
This winter she can assemble these
small relics of faded finery into some
thing new and startling. that is, If she
knows how TO do that sort OF thing.
No gown, however costly. refuses to
carry a patch of fur bs1ow the waistline
to serve as a pocket. Each dressmaker
has her own way ofNmaking the peltry
decorative. Because of the Oriental In
vasion in clothes a deep crescent-shaped
pocket is often chosen. On some Of the
best coat suits Of the year 1t appears In
gray or brown fur. bound with rough
gold galloon and bits of colored> velvet.
Two of these pockets are placed over
the hips, the lower edge of them running
to the hem of the short jacket.
On top coats especially. a good one

Through such Russian embroidery II
became the fashion to put house in

| AS the Republicans were in power in
America and Delhi embroidery was re-

all countries. IL has had long career
of success as decoration for small beaded
coin purses which dangled on the arms
of girls last summer. 1t appears in rock

of the new tricks in interior decoration.

can be given this season. Women buy

roneously classified as pockets took
hold OF the clothes designers about a
year ago. Like all innovations in
clothes. it started in simple way
Each collection of new clothes has ac-
centuated the fashion. At this hour it
is one of those ossessional ideas that
hundreds of dressmakers share in
common.
We have been in the habit of hiding
our pockets for several decades and
using them as a cache. Coats have
had pockets that were rarely used, il
is true. but they have been without
ornament and were suggested by the
military tunics of soldiers.
Mipd you. this new pocket is some
thing entirely different. II has no in
tention Of being used 1t is not made 10
hold ones purse or package. 1t Is a
sing of vanity and beauty, serving its
purpose through being decorative. II one
wants to put a tiny colored handker-
chief in 1t. very WELL But one must let
most of the handkerchief fall out of it,
securing one end to the inside with a
safety pin. If small, flat purse can be
slipped into it, that's no business of the
public. 1t mustn't show, that $ all.
Once the idea started on its way a
horde OF rapacious designers leaped at
1t. History was searched, clothes In
museums We're investigated, old pictures
were suggestive. Pockets by the dozens
popped out on every garment, and out
OF some popped colored handkerchiefs.
They served the economical woman a

record. It is an odd ornament in the
history of the world. Flat disks of metal
were worn by people in the civilization
precei ing the birth of Christ. and such
disks We're initiated I'm varipns epochs
of the worlds aRistory, not In metal but
in braid or in galioon.
They were revived this season to rival
those metal clasps which quickly be-
came a part of the Oriental movement
in costumery. These cushiordike orna-
ments were made OF plain braid. If one
wished TO be demure. or of uhick gold

finished with a heavy tasseL tassel

metal braid, and b.ta of fabric to serve
winter days.
One woman. who regretted the disap-
pearance from fashion of metallic mesh
bags suddenly had an idea that her
particular bag would look we'll as a
pocket suspended from belt and there
by started a new fashion. Not much
newer than Romeo. this fashion. after
all. for the gentlemen of medieval times
carried their splendid pockets suspended
from the belt. and women like Mar
guerte and Juliat wore them hanging
from jeweled belta.
With the Moyen Age reaching out its
hands to direct most of our new fash
ions 1t was At and seeming that beaded
and silver bags should find a resting
place with belts to match. They fit into
our schemes of clothes.
One designer emphasizes this casual
idea OF amateurs by placing a broad

dropping from 1t beaded bag held by
two broad straps. So maybe women
