IS your handbag or purse—both in
side and out—equal in appearance
to the costume of which it is a
part?
Judging from the hundreds and
hundreds of good-looking bags that
are sold every day in the shops, and
tiie hundreds of new bags that are al
ways ready to take their places in
show cases and on counters —every
woman ought to have good-looking
bags for every occasion. Yet it is the
bitter truth that many of the women
you see are carrying handbags that
are shabby or out of place, or too pal- 1
pably cheap or otherwise not what!
they ought to be.
The trouble is that sonic women i

Red protests that Bill Is too interested ip
Ruth Sauer* to po out for tin* team and
Porky is too fat and lazy. Boh snyse-1s
that they ti out a plan In- has for to-ttirur
the other two hot- oui and they part to

It was on Friday night that Fob and j
Re I laid 111- if plans. After supper Hob
hastened io the home of Kuih Sauers,
who lived with her aunt. She was a j
little surprised to see him, but Hob

Thanking her heartily, Bob rushed
gleefully home and went to bed early
in preparation fur tomorrow’s game.
He might not get in it, hut he believed
in keeping ri-id training.
As for Bed, who had been delegated
to work on Porky, he had less success
Friday night. He and Porky spent
the evening together, and Red tried
to kid him about being fat, but Porky
was in good humor and refused to
take him seriously.
The next morning, however, the
four members of the club met as usual
in their eluhhou.se. Bob had a min
ute to tell Red of his success with
Buth and Red confided that Porkv’s
1 problem was still unsolved. The dis-
I mission soon turned to the game to be
played that afternoon, however, and
Red saw his chance.
“it seems to me. Porky,” lie said in
a nasty voice, “that a big piece of beef
like you might have something better
to do than loaf every afternoon after
school. Why don't you corne tail for
i tool ball? I’d just love the chance to
| shove yum thick le ad in the mud."
Rob tried to suppress a, grin as
l Porky snorted. "You!" 1 scoffed the
| fat boy. "I’d like to see you! .lust
because the coach lets you stand at
one end of the line, where you aren’t
in the way, you think you’re a foot
ball player. The nearest you’d get to
shoving my head in the mud would
be standing on your own.”
Red laughed derisively. “Flabby!”
he said. “Why, if I ever hit you my
fist would sink six inches into the fat.
| You couldn't stand the gaff on the
■ field live minutes. You’re as soft as
i mush.”
Porky was get ling angry. “Now,
Hook here. Red Head," he said omi
nously, “about one more word from
j you and I'll slap you down.”
i "You and how many others?” chal
lenged Red, suppressing a grin. “The
only way you could hurt anybody
would be to fall on him. I could bat
you over with one hand, at that.”
Porky rose to his feet. “Shut up,”
he howled, “or ”

it or are too lazy to transfer money
and other trifles from one bag to an

Colored handbags are very attrac
tive. but they must be worn and
chosen with care. A pretty good rule
to lav down and follow is not to se
lect a brightly colored bag unless you
can afford a very good one, and not
unless you can afford to have several.
Among the quite inexpensive bags
piled on counters for special sales you
will always see a number in red, green,
light blue or other colors.
And some one must buy these inex
pensive colored bags. But while the
dark or neutral ones might pass mus
ter, it seems to me that the only
bright-colored leather bags worth buy
ing are the rather expensive ones.
I have a strong personal prejudice
in favor of green leather handbags.
I never pass a counter or showcase
displaying one or several green leather
pouches, envelopes or other handbags
without a. sort of covetousness. Still
I never did buy one because I never
had quite the other things to go with
one.
I can imagine a green leather bag
and a green hat of the same shade
looking well with a black suit, with
beige gloves and stockings and black
shoes. Still a beige or black bag
would look a bit smarter.
I heard some one say the other day
that a red leather bag went very well
with a black and white costume, but
1 cannot visualize a really well-dressed
woman attempting the combination.
In the smart shops one sees good
looking bags of black, even more of
beige and similar tones and many of
brown. There are some, but not so
many, of gray and a smaller collection
of blues, greens, reds and other colors.
The purple bag is not often seen. As
a matter of fact, the demand is very
largely for bags of black, brown or
beige.
An Old Fashioned Halloween
I Red, from his corner in the shack,
.suddenly howled “Tackle!” and dove
for Porky's shins. It was a clean,
solid hit, and Porky went crashing
j down, with Red twin d about his legs.
The tier.v-haired boy quickly jumped
to bis feet and his victim was up u
second later, foaming with rage.
"I’ll get you for that!” he howled,
and lunged for Ited, swinging his lists
viciously. But Red quickly dropped
to his knees and Bob, seeing his
ehance, dove for Porky’s knees from
the rear# toppling him over Red. This
An evening bast or purse is quite
necessarv. There arc times when a
mere vanity is not quite enough. Ke
centiy 1 liave seen some lovely en
velope purses tor evening in lovely
colored velvets. There was one in a
soft old rose, another in blue and a
| third in a golden beige shade. They
! were perfectly plain envelopes save
for a little enameled clasp.
I An evening purse of greater splen-
j dor is a pouch type of bug studded
jwith rhinestones or an envelope or
j pouch covered with metal sequins. A
! verv attractive pouch evening bag 1
raw recently was of alt over pearls,
with a design in rhinestones.
Some women feel that - there is
something tawdry and unesthetic
about any sort of ornament that
serves no practical purpose. They
boast that they have ruthlessly dis
carded all merely ornamental orna
ments. Vases that can really be used
effectively foj holding flowers, candle
sticks which really hold candles that
are really lighted, book ends that
serve a real purpose—these things
have some excuse for being. All
other ornaments are knickknaeks,
plain junk.
There is something to be said in
favor of this point of view. And the
majority of rooms really look better
when rid of their clutter of useless
ornaments. That is perhaps because
most ornaments are not really orna
mental, or because an abundance of
ornaments, however beautiful, pro
duces a confused, unpleasant effect.
Still, the purely ornamental orna
ment has its place, and it is perfectly
apparent as one goes about that
knickknaeks are coming back into
fashion again.
There is quite a fad in Paris now
for crystal ornaments in th" form of
flowers, trees and animals. These are
delicately modeled in luminous, trans
parent glass, in extremely modern
time, however, Boh sat on the raging
boy, holding him down.
“Where do you get that stuff?” said
I Boh in mock anger. “Don’t you know
there's no lighting In the clubhouse?
And anyway, you’re just committing
suicide picking on a foot ball man,
Porky. Rod will eat you up."
White-faced, Porky scrambled to his
feet.
"I’ll get you. Red!’* the usually
placid youth yelled, “Just wait," And,

spirit. Chanel, Worth and Poiret are
among the well-known French dress
makers who have signified their ap
proval of these perfectly useless or
naments by displaying them in their
salons.
They are speaking of new froeks
cut “en forme.” and since there is no
direct way of saying just the same
thing In English, we are hound to use
the words ourselves. A dress cut “en
forme” is not exactly close fitting,
and it is a little more than simply
draped. It shows decidedly more of
the bodily contours than the straight
line frocks we have worn so long, but
is far removed from the old "prin
cess” dress. Many of the simple new
velvet gowns are cut ‘‘en forme.”
Black trimmed with a really bright
pink is approved of by a number of

draped with lace and an enormous

silk placed rather low on one hip-

house.
For n moment the three other boys
were silent. Then Bill slowly got to
his feet.
“I think Porky got a dirty deal that
time, fellows,” he said quietly. “It
was Red's fault for picking on him.
Where’s your sense of justice, Bob?"
And, saying this, Bill walked from the
clubhouse. Bob and Red looked at
each other with grins that didn’t quite
hide their uneasiness, .

Lauder’s Laudable Idea.
From the Boston Transcript.
Not long ago a friend of Sir Harry
Lauder tried to get him interested in
a bitter political discussion, and this
is what Sir Harry said: "Mon ma job
is tae amuse folks, not tie set them at
yin anither’s throats. "Whit ye should
dae, if ye want popular favor, is tae
start a new party, altigither, which
dinna bother sae much about beating
the ither parties as tae set them laugh
in’ and makin’ them friends. Let it be
each member’s duty sae much about
beating the iether parties have every
body in it and ca’ it the happy party
—ye’ll find, in a year or two, that its
numbers are sae great an’ its majority
j sae great that its doctrines have
I spread all over the world.”
"Hope we weren't too hard on him,"
said Red.
"I don’t think we were,” said Bob.
“But we’ll see what happens.”
That afternoon Bill sat with Ruth
in thp grandstand and watched Fer
ristort win an easy victory from Sar
gent, but the game was not a source
of pleasure to the boy. He looked at
Ruth in consternation as she went I
into raptures over the playing of Ed

Why Bad Eggs Float.
A good way to test an egg is to
place it in water. If it sinks it is a
good egg, if it tloats you had better
not try to eat it, for you'll find it has
been spoiled.
A fresh egg consists of the yellow
yolk and the white albuminous mat-'
ter surrounding it. This sort of egg
is heavier than water and will always
sink if placed thchrein. But a rotten
egg is very different. In such an egg
the yolk and the albumen have
changed and have ben split up into"
numerous gases. The contents of
such an egg are therefore much'-'
lighter In weight. In fact, they weigh
less than an equal volume of watej;
hence an egg in this condition will In
variably float if you place it in a pan
ot water.
