Adventures
Have jou Been the cunning felt baby
shoes? iThcy nro quite Irresistible.
These shoes come in a number of sites,
are tiny buttoned boots in a number
of colors tan, red, blue and brown,
Thoy are the very thing for baby's
"house Bhoca" keep little feet warm
and comfortable and help out the fam
ily pocketbook to no small degree, for
they are only fifty cents a pair.
IIow much would you think a carpet
sweeper ought to cost? It U difficult
to find one for much less than $4. CO or
$5. Well, when Dorothea and I sallied
forth to find some adventures we came
across a carpet sweeper for $1,251
"wWt do you think of It?" asked Dor
othea doubtfully. "I'ro a mind to gst
one and try It," I replied. Well, the
upshot of it was I did. nnd It docsl I
hastened to phone Dorothea. "It
works," I exclaimed gleefuHy. It is,
of course, a rather light sweeper, but
it is rcmnikablc value for the money,
and I am delighted with It. Taney get
ting a sweeper for $1.20.
At the present tlmo most, It not all,
of the shops nre reducing their summer
dresses. It becomes then, merely a ques
tion of find the shop where ono can
find real reductions and good values.
Let me, .then, tell you about one. I
saw a little organdie dress, .vhltc, with
tiny pink squares In It, and with crisp
white collar nnd cuffs for $11.25. I
sow another of yellow organdie, dainty
and well made for $8. Linen dresses
have come down ns I6w as $20. She is
a wise woman who takes advantage of
such n sale and buys now a cool little
dress to finish out this season, and with
which to start next year.
