Adventures
With a Purse
THERE is a certain shop that I like
to call my "shop ot valuo." Scorns
to me you never go In there that you do
not find any number ot fascinating
thing at tempting prices. And I shoii d
consider mv visit to tow u iticomploto did
I not spend at least a little timo there.
Today, for instance, there was such n
wealth of loely tiling reasonably
priced. Under a card bearing a siru
"Extraordinary Sale" were lovely little
pale pink camlmles in wash satin, for
52. And they arc unusual ul that price,
for they arc trimmed with line lace nnd
dainty little silk roobud. Then there
were warm scarfs for sport smitH and
which would make mot welcome
ChristmaH gifts, with prices rang(nK
from $4.50 to $0.f)0. And n table of
blouseo at $3.05 Included some or
georgette and some of net. I would
strongly advise that you stop there when
jou go for a day of Christmas shopping.
Tor the friend who teads I can think
nt tiAfMnrr nlrM- tlinn n hook "carrier.
T.ir mn ilpscrlbo it for jou. At ilrst
glance you might take It to be an oblong
leather hnnrihntr. with II leather hlUlUlU
. in match. Onlv it lias no clasps. nat
wiilt,really is, However, h a leniuer cuvr
for a book la it you will find a white
cutler for uncut page, and attached to
It li a ribbon for marking one's place.
The leather is of good quality, and
comes III green or red. And. of coitisc,
the handler form n convenient wnv to
carry the book; One shop hai seicrii)
dozens of these, but when the supplv Is
exhausted no moro can be had. They
cost only $2, and judging from the way
in which .thev are selling, it will not be
wvy long before they arc all sold.
I have been interested in silk petti
coats lately, because 1 want to buy one
for a Christmas present. And I have
been particularly Interested in values
and nualitj , I saw some for $,"i.1K) which
might have done for ,me, but for some
one to whom I want to give nn extra
nice present they did not satisfy mo.
And then Dually I came across these for
50.(5, and 1 can heartily Indorse their
value. They are pf jersey silk, with
finely pleated ruffles matching the ton in
color. But n superficial glance is needed
to show jou that their quality Is excep
tiooal, and that their price W most reasonable.
