TEA-TABLE
CHATTER

Guard your money with one
Of the new money clip bags.
These clips are Of gold or
silver and are made in the
form of an initial set with fine
marcasite.
Out Of the farmyard come all
sorts of animals whose likeness
is used for bag ornaments. For
instance, a top-handled bag Of
heavy brown alligator has a
triple flap headed by a large
chanticleer in carved carnelian.
A bag of black pin seal has a
clasp, a carved ivory goose.
Fur goes far in the mode this
season. A frock Of sheer black
woolen has sleeves, bandana
handkerchief yoke and belt, all
Of black galyak.

They sit back on their launches,
they lie down on one side with
forepaws extended. They're
even in racing position-chas-
ing a cat, if you will.
They're grand to play with
and to sleep with. Guard a lit
tie chap all night long with
never a bark to disturb him.
OF course there are dogs that
aren't realistic at all. There are
mournful dogs with soulful
eyes and floppy ears. Laugh
ing dogs with a grin from ear
to ear. And these make q
pleasant change, too.
Cat Families
Cat families are something
new. A mother cat with her
brood of kittens in various
breeds and postures. Some OF
them lying down. Some Of them
sleeping. Some Of them rolling
on their backs. Any child who's
had a litter Of kittens IN the
household will get a lot OF FUN
out Of these.
Some of them are Persian
and snooty. But most OF them
are just Tabbies and Toms
and as democratic as any cat
carnival on a back yard fence.
The monkeys dressed up IN
jackets and trousers ana caps
are amusing. Bunnies, soft and
furry, are well-liked. And for a
grand gesture, you might 10 isrn-
BILE q whole menagerie, as you
can easily do from the many
varieties of animals in Santa
Claus zoo-with a camel, an
elephant, a tiger, a kangaroo,
a baboon, a wolf, a bear cub.
and a pig-with a few birds
such as penguins, ducks and
chickens-thrown in tor good
measure.
