THK big thing about saying things1
Is to let them ring true And If
you are binding about your snblTt

will want to listen until the cows come
home. He Is not afraid to talk about
It in a familiar way. It is an old friend
of his. If he has a hankering fond
ness for "The End of a Perfect Day"
he will say so.
But let the womnn who has written
three papers on Mozart and gone for
two successive times to the orchestra
start. She disdains "The End of a
Perfect Day," although secretlv I'll
warrant she hankers for It. Dignlfiedly
she bluffs her way through names and

Bags Are Necessities Today
A Daily Fasliicm Tall: by Flnrrnce Hose
I A i3ed)i
A leader in bags is the satin brocade one. The girl in the sketch holds
one of navv blue satin, brocaded in green. The beaded ornament
follows out'the same color scheme. Two other bags are shown with
clasp tops, one with the new inverted clasp. This is of black satin with
a beaded design on a blue hand. The bag at the lower right is very new
in design. It has bone handles and is of blue satin braitled in soutache

fpr formerly Its function was purely
utilitarian. It was entirely a receptacle
of service, but today It Is an integral
rart of the costume and by no means
so lnsigntncant as m i ii.."s .v
one to summarlie. Where once upon
a time one bag was considered quite
sufficient for any well-dressed woman,
nowadays two, three, four and even flva
bags are scarcely enough.
That old-fashioned receptacle of
leather which we were wont to think
Indispensable because of Its wearing
qualities Is this seaxon conspicuous by
Its absence, tha bags of satin, velvet or
beads entirely monopolising the field ln
the handbag world.
Thewost favored bag Is without doubt
the beaded one. which may be entirely
of beads or In combination of beads and
satin. Another leader la the bag made
ef very handsome material, uch a,i
satin brocade ln gold or stiver. One of
these hags Is held by; the girl in the

drawstring Is a blue satin ribbon, held
at the ends with one of the large green
beads.
While the hag with the drawstring Is
very attractive for practical Use, tho bag
with a clasn ton makes a more con
venient style for those who find It
necessary to get the contents of their
bags without the annoyance of dlvlpg
for the desired article.
There are two bags with the clasp
lops shown, one with the Inverted clasp,
which Is of black satin with a beaded
design carried out In colors on a blue
band.
The other clasp top has the upper Sec
tion of blue satin, and the conventional
design at the lower part' carried out In
colored beads. The tassel Is also of
beads. (
The bag at the lower rght of the
ctrcl'i Is an entirely new Idea, The
handles, which may be Blipped over the
arm, are of bone; the material Is, blue
satin add the lower part of the bag
Is trimmed with black soutache braid.
The ornaments are of the satin and
decorated with the braid to match the
bag,

f would walk tar out of my way to call
on somebody whom another somebody
had painted In KlowinR tints as a patron
j of literature and thus 'likely to Khe me
i an oirltr for a copy, in the more e
j pmsixe blndlnc. of "Lives of Our l'resl
i dents" Reaching her dwelling, I would
1 find that she was away from home, sick
abed, or that for some other reason she
could not be seen. My sufferings also
'were Increased because I was afraid
nf dogs; this fear nf mine was speedily
discovered by small hoys along the line
of march, who. according to their
reckoning, turned It to good account
And the dogs themselves, despite my
j adopting a most Ingratiating tone and
trying to establish the entente cordinle,
showed a lamentable lack of frlendll

Tngland bleed which could not nr at
i any ratn would not discriminate he-
1 tween a well-meaning visit nnd a
would-be robbery! Furthermore, almost
everybody took me for a child. This
in itself would have heen a blow to
any girl who was "going on sixteen";
but when residents of the Ullage I vis
ited tefused repeatedly to let me say one
word and even slammed the front door
In my face with the remark that so
many children of their own neighbor
hood had pestered them to join soap
clubs, etc.. that they had no money left
for- children from elsewhere, the blow
turned swiftly to a tragedy. For the
securing of subscribers to "Lives of Our
Presidents" then meant to me the only
medium available for maintaining my
own life.
After two weeks I was heartsick and
footsore. Tho money loaned by Helen
Earle had long since disappeared, and I
saw no way of repaying it and thus re
gaining possession of my mother's watch,
and almost tho whole -of the small sum
I had earned In the library went for bare
necessities during my employment there
and later when I was out of work. The
canvassing paid no salary; there was
only the hope of receiving something In
commissions by and by. Since Mr. HUH.

For the
Meatless Days
You wouldn't think you could do
much with some left over vege
tables: potatoes, beets, carrots,
corn, beans or onions But here's
what I did with them the other
Tuesday when Mr. Hoover said" "no
meat." I made vegetable cro
quettes, and Jim said he was going
to be a vegetarian for life. I
chopped the vegetables Into small
cubes, seasoned with sage, salt and
pepper, and made a glorious thick
cream sauce, to which I added two
tablespoonfuls of Al Sauce. I
poured this over the vegetables,
moulded them Into croquettes, and
fried them in very hot butter sub
stitute. Oh, that Al Sauce! Its
piquant flavor, so different from
nnythlng else, pulled those cro
quettes up Into the class where the
French chefs live! Adv.
ends. See how this brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair
how soft, fluffy and lustroua it
becomes. If you don't get results,
you get your money back.,
