"" -..;. . - Adventures With a Purse IF YOU are hoping for a string of pearls for Chrtetmas, cut this out, and lay It unebstrusivcly In the way of . person from whom you expect them. ft I want te write about the pearls I knew about that are such geed value, te say nothing of being very beautiful. They are twenty-four Inches In length. I belleve that this length Is sometimes spoken of as opera length. The pearls are graduated, and unbelievably well matched. Their lustrleus pale pink color gives them unusual beauty. When actually seen, It Is hard te believe that they can be sold for such u low price ns ?0, for certainly they have nil the appearance of a mucn mere expen sive string. ( Hew about giving a table crumber for Christmas te the woman who seems te have most everything else? I knew where you can get nice crumbcrs made of n soft dark weed with a kind of natural weed Inlay. Weed crumbers, veu knew, are nicer than metal, because the edge Is blunter nnd does net roughen the table cloth. The price? Veil, I w two kinds, but I think these I tell you of are fifty cent net mere than icventyfive cents anyhow. One ebon has a set of red and blue electrlr bulbs for the Christmas tree. They come already wired, nnd require only the batteries te cerapletb them. The net is $3. and the number of bulbs is elght. They are pretty pointed bulks, eud will certainly add te the festive appearance of the tre. The nice part about them Is that they arc sort an t.,ttn.nf. Fer after raying S3 r them this year, you have them te use jear after year. Fer nmM of "t. J,lr'".v?m55"nr'"" JCdtter or phen Wlnat or Muln 8000. Making Mere Meney ljtne. In Orilur te T.It Viewed In the light of a play upon words, "dyelnfr In order te live" Ih a nretty peer pun but, en the ether hind, It s an excellent description of the way In which Miss Amy Mall Hicks solved the problem of malilns mera money. Seme years age, when the shadow of ilnanclal disaster made It essential that Mls Hicks earn her own living;, nh took stock of her mentnl and physical qualifications and was forced te confess 'hat the outlook was far from rosy. "Of course," she said, "I can earn money by stenography or" typewriting or as a cierK in a mere vr in tuiy ut me ether ways In which the great maes of women de it. uui nu inese minus re quire a eertaln amount of training, and 1 can't afford the time, I've get te de something right new. Net tomorrow, but today." Loekln- around her little apartment. her eye fell upon a piece of gayly cel- ered fabric wnicn sne naa rcscuea irem the ragbag only a short time before and had treated by the little known "Ilatlk" orecess until It was a mass of daring, but harmonious, tints. "I wonder," she mused, "X wonder If hat's the answer." A. visit te a nearby atere which spe cialized In out-ef-the-ordlnary mate rials proved that It was. The Batik raz was just beginning and these who could successfully handle the difficult process were hard te find, be Miss Hicks returned home with a substantial sum of money and orders for as much mere of the Batik work as she could turn out. Frem this she turned te carpet weaving, dyeing the rags by hand and then form ing them Inte odd-shaped mats and bright bits of fleer decorations; te oefa pillows, centerpieces, negligees and all manner of articles where the preper handllnr of color was a primary renur- alte. Dyeing, which had previously hen merely n hobby, became an excel lent source of revenue and new Miss Hicks has a "studio" of her own but. instead of mixing Her coieru en a pal ette, she uses a dyepet.
