Thanking her heartily, Bob rushed
gleefully home and went to bed early
in preparation for tomorrow s game.
He might not get lit, but he believed
in keeping ri-id training.
AS for Red who had been delegated
to work on porky, he had less success
Friday night. He and Torky spent
the evening together, and Red tried
to kid him about being fat. but Porky
was in good humor and refused to
take him seriously.
The next morning. however, the
four members of the club met as usual
in their clubhouse. Bob had a min

Ruth and Red confided that Porky's
problem was still unsolvcd The dis

I can imagine a green leather bag
and a green hat of the same shade
looking we'll with a black suit, with
beige gloves and stockings and black
shoes. Still a beige or black bag
would look a bit smarter.

that red leather bag went very well
with a black and white costume, but
cannot visualize a really we'll l-dressed
woman attempting the combination.
In the smart shops one sees good
looking bags of black, even more of
beige and similar tones and many of
brown. There are some, but not so
many, of gray and a smaller collection
of blues, green's, reds and other colors.
The purple bag is not often seen. AS
n matter of fact, the demand is very
largely for bags of black, brown or

An evening bag or purse Is quite
necessary. There arc times when a
mere vanity is not quite enough. Ike

yelope purses for evening in lovely
colored velvets. There was one IN a
soft old rose. another in blue ana q

Some women feel that there is
something taWdry and unesthetic
about any sort of ornament that
serves no practical purpose. They
boast that they have ruthlessly dis
carded all merely ornamental orna-
ments. Vases that can really be used
effectively for holding flowers, candle
sticks which really hold candles that
are really lighted, book ends that
serve real purpose-these things
have some excuse for being. All
other ornaments are knickknacks,
plain junk.
There is something to be said in
favor of this point Of view. And the
majority of rooms really look better
when rid of their clutter of useless
ornaments. That is perhaps because
most ornaments are not really orna-
mental, or because an abundance Of
ornaments, however beautiful, pro-
duces a confused, unpleasant effect.
Still. the purely ornamental orna-
ment has it's place, and it is perfectly
apparent as one goes about that
knickknacks are coming back into
fashion again.
There is quite fad in Paris now
for crystal ornaments in the form of
flowers, trees and animals. These are

A good way to test an egg is to
place it in water. If it sinks it is a
good egg, if it floats you had better
not try TO eat it, for you'll find it has
been spoiled
A fresh egg consists OF the yellow
yolk and the white albuminous mat
ter surrounding 1t. This sort Of egg
is heavier than water and will always
sink ii placed thchrein. But rotten
egg is very different. In such an egg
the yolk and the albumen have
changed and have ben split up into;
numerous gases. The contents of
such an egg are therefore much
lighter in weight. In fact. they weigh
less than an equal volume of wate;.
hence an egg in this condition win in
variably float if you place it in pan
of water.
