Adventures With a Purse TI' V - thip Ol J have been much about the ps. this jiar, 3011 have of course t-ecu the gift boxes, each bearing u little sketch in colors, together with a pociu explaining the use of its contents. Ouo shop has an unusually large ns sortmcut of these gift boxes, oue in particular of which I think you might be interested in bearing about. In the first place, jou know how difficult it is to get olives out of a bottic. They w ill stick. Well, this box contains an olive fork. It really is a long wirp with a curved cud, which catches the most stubborn olive und extracts it unre sisting from the narrow tst bottic. 'I he handle is of black wood. I think this would make a capital gift. The price of the fork, ploaslugly boxed, as I ulrend3 have janl. is foity cents. It is no uncommon occurrence to give grown-ups boxes of euudy for Chrht mas But littla people generally get their cauilj in their Christmas stock ings or have it "rationed" to them from mother s. That is probablj the reason that the average child would ho delighted with a box of landy of her very ouu. One shop has might uite I boves of rand), specially prepared for 1 little people. It has in it several kinds 'of pure hard candy, and jes even I some taffies ou sticks, which lme ac I quired tha jolly name of loll pops. Tho box costs eighty cents ' And, speaking of cnud), I saw a 1 very unusual caud) box the kind vou leave around on the living-room table. You will purticularl like it if jou are foud of the work ot the .Tupuuese. It is a lound lacquer box, eoverid with a silk material in dull red or tan, clab oratch dicoruted with birds uud bear ing a fat lusael beaded at the end. The pi ice is $2.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Itoso EVHN if you dress on a very moderate income indeed jou should deem it no extravagance to have one really charming negligee. I am showing you one today thut is especially charming. It is of clectric-bluc satin a color thut is generally far more becoming than any of the bnby or sky blue shades. It is a shade that brings out the color in 3 our skin. To be quite analytical there is a iittle green in electric blue, and where there is green theic is of courbo yellow, since green is compounded of yellow uud blue. And it is an indis putable tact that the presence of J el low tends to conceal sallowncss.

No, bashfulness doesn't appear to be the obstacle that is kcep ing them npurt or rather preventing him ot the male species from cxpicsslng his offectinus "audibly." His persistent pursuit of her of the second part erases that from the blackboard of considera tion. What arc my grounds? Well, in the first place a real lover doesn't con tide his state of feelings to others, lie tells them first to tho girl nud others discover- the secret later. The desire of sole possession and the fear of the "other fellow,",rcal or Imaginary, gives him lionlike courage in epito of himself. Moro than probably bc'a found E. II. a good "pnl" and proposes to keep her In that class. Why not try competi tion? This Is a great uncovcrer of the truth, and if Sir Turtle fails to at least put bis head out of the shell of mys' tcry cull the game quits nnd yell for a new deck of cards.

FATHER AND MOTHER TAKE TEDDJ TO SEE SANTA CLAUS And Find Many Things to Play With While Tlieir Son Enjoyi Himself Looking at ihc Decorations in Toy Departments CHRISTMAS is really just for the children, after all. Daddy and Mother went to the toy department the other day to loffTcddy see Santa Claus and all the wonderful toys. Teddy stood In line with all the other children, ex cited, scared, and wondering. When he finally reached the kindly old gentleman -with the snowy whiskers and the friend ly voice he was so embarrassed that ho could do nothing but stare at him, give a limp hand to bo shaken nnd murmur Rhyly, "I'd like an automobile," Father and Mother did all the smiling, and had nil the thrills. "He had on n red suit," Teddy remarked, when they asked bira what be thought of Santa Claus. "Oh, look, Ted. see thwre toys!" Fntbcr exclaimed w hen they reached the tublo where tho mechanical animals walked back nud forth, bumped int6 an obstacle and kept right on moving their feet without getting anywhere. "Um-hm," Tcddv replied dutifully, absorbed in a winking eye that formed part of the decorations'. For about ten minutes Father was held by the- fascination of the mechanical toys. Then his eje caught sight of an nirplane soaring round over a counter, nnd pulling Teddy nnd Mother with him, he rushed over to find out how it work ed. On the way, however, they passed a counter of dolls, nnd Mother dropped Teddy's hand. "Oh, isn't she beauti ful." she cooed, picking up one of them. "And nhe shuts her eves nud every thing. Ob, that's a Dutch doll. Isn't she cutel Oh, and look nt the little suit case with nil her thiugs 1" Father, in tho meantime, had moved away from the airplanes, and discov ered the tracks, carefully laid out on a tabic, with switches, and signals, bridges, tunnels, stations and every thing, "See It go, 1eiVf bo was saying, excitedly. "Look at that, see It tura that corner? That's great, Isn't Itl We didn't have toys like that when J was u boy. Would you like to havl one of those "to play with, Son?" And Teddy, bringing his attention away from a stupid -looking cow thai stood on thbs legs, moved its bend sadlj from side to sldo nnd said plaintively, through jls nose. "Uh!"-lookcd indif ferently nt tho marvelous arrangement on the table nnd replied, "Yes, 1 would." , " AT DINNER that nigbt Father said enthusiastically, "As soon ns I snyl up onough I'm going to stnrt buying sections of that track for Teddy. 1 think that's a wonderful thing, don't you?" "That was a lovely doll," Mother re plied, dreamily. And when they asked Teddy what ht liked best, he said, lovingly, "Why, that little man sitting In that little milk wagon, with a purple coat on." Yes, there's no doubt about It, Christmas is only for the children, nftct all.
