MAKE THESE SMART Pl'RSES
A purse though Just an accessory can make or spoil a womans
entire appearance. Naturally every well-dressed woman longs for a
▼witty of bags to give her the right choice for both the occasion and
the costume. This season purses are smart according to their form
The envelope purse has rebelled at a sheer envelope effect and goes
Into points that are decidedly graceful. The flap though limits itself
In else and no longer cover the entire front of the bag. This bag. pat-
tern 003. can be made for daytime or more formal wear according to
the materia] used. Tweed or other light woolen material suede faille
rdlk. velvet or an ornate material interwoven with metallic threads all
are effective and the bag la very simple to make.
s Pattern 608 goes In for feminine softness. The row of little pleats
WMKh side give the purse a fullness that makes it decidedly attractive
In wuch materials as satin velvet faille or a soft woolen material all of
which lend themselves to a little drapery.

UNEMPLOYMENT II
in the TERMITE HORDE
# Unemployment is unheard of among the Ter-
mite*! They are ever busy! Never idle! Work
aplenty for all to do. Eating the heart out of homes
is their business—and pleasure. Perhaps they are
working in your home now! Unless you have a
concrete foundation under your house Termites
are pretty apt to be there silently doing their
awful damage. Crumbling foundations; settling of
floors; and untimely decay of wooden steps are a
few of the first signs you will have telling you
that Termites have long been at work.
Your architect or contractor can tell you all
about Termites and how they conceal their work
until they have done damage which can not be
repaired!
