ALES is one of the most interesting snd one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles, and if you know your geography, you will know that it is just west of England, a small, mountainous region facing the Irish Sea. It is a land which long ago was inhabited by a fierce and warlike people, proud of their Celtic blood and ruled by native chieftains who for many years defied their neighbors in the east to conquer them. And up to about the year 1300 they were more or less free and in<™ dependent of all other people. Like many of the old countries of Europe, Wales contains many ancient cities, some of them almost 2,000 years old, and these in the savage, fighting days of long ago were defended by walls, forts and enormous castles, many of which are standing to this day, though most of them are in a sad state of ruin, the victime of war, age and fire. But Carnarvon Castle is still in a good state of preservation. And if ever you are in that part of the world, you can see this old Welsh stronghold just as it must have ap- peared in the year 1284, when King Edward II was born there. It was because this king was born there that Carnarvon Castle is of unusual interest. (Al The wild and warlike people of Wales had refused to be ruled by any English king, p - ferring their own chieftains. And since th-ir Brighten Shopping Bag. “ON! rather gloomy day,” sald Miss Brown, “I was ‘strap-hanging’ in a crowded street car homeward bound. On these occa- sions I always find it amusing to watch the their shop bags filled with food from the bare galn counters. Most of them wore toll-worly expressions, but there was one woman, color- fully dressed, whose smile was full of cheeri- ness. “But what really drew my attention to her was the wonderfully colored shopping bag which she carried instead of the usual ugly black leather affair. It was made of fawn canvas and was embroidered with brilliantly colored flower beads. I studied the bag closely and when I reached home this is what I did. “I got a burlap grain sack (any grain mere chant will sell you one for a trifie), then in my collection of odds and ends I found a couple of old felt hats, a green one and a red one. I cut the unfaded pieces of both of them into flowers. Next I got an old shopping bag and cut some more of the felt to the exact shape of the bag, also cutting the gunny sack in the same size. I then sewed in the felt lining. Next I took the shaped flowers and sewed them artistically on the outside of the bag and bor- dered them with beads,” concluded Miss Brown, “Bravo! Do you know I have always hated the sight, of these ugly black shopping, bags,” remarked one of the members. cais @ wniC o¢ SHEILA McIVQR. <3
