MAGAZINE PAGE. Articles of Luggage at Low Cost BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. WO traveling accessories are given today for the woman who wants smart luggage appointments at small cost. Also, since the gra- clous practice of presenting little gifts to the children of a hostess and to the friendly hostess herself prevails, some suggestions for these gifts are made. A folding zipper bag to carry, or to pack away for extra parcels collected on the journeyings, is one of the needed aceessories for the traveler. It is just the thing for a shower gift for an en- gaged girl. It is tube-shaped, as are these zipper bags, and it has handles for carrying the bag when packed. It folds into small compass and requires almost no room in suit case or trunk. It makes one of the nicest gifts to pre- sent a friend who is taking a sea voyage or a train trip. And it is something mew in the way of a bridge prize. It-can be made from leftover material of traveling suit, or of material match- ing it in color. Or it can be of linen, matural toned or in any wanted color, or a waterproof textile if preferred. Full directions for making and a pic- ture of the bag can be had for 10 cents and a self-addressed and stamped en- velope directed to Lydia Le Baron ‘Walker, care of this paper. Initials for embroidering through canvas on the bag are 5 cents each. A small amount of material, some binding tape and a strip of zipper fastenings are all that are required for a bag. A triangular case of two pieces of plain or figured linen, or any wash goods of firm texture, makes a handy BEDTIME STORIES 7 Jormen Peter's Mistake. Mistakes are bound to happen, o Be not too certain that you know. —Peter Rabbit. ETER RABBIT had found a new home, the home of Teeter the Sandpiper. He almost stepped on it, and that is how he hap- pened to find it. He would have stepped on it and perhaps broken one or both of the two eggs it contained had not Mrs. Teeter dashed almost in his face and so stopped him. You see, the Sandpiper nest is on the ground |ing and it isn't much of a nest, at that. It was not surprising that Peter had not seen it until Mrs. Teeter stopped him. He had promised he would tell no one of it, and that if he chanced that way again he would be very care- ful not to step on those precious eggs, 1f it should happen that they were un- protected. Of course, Peter paid the Teeters a visit ‘the very next day. He couldn't keep away.. He had too much curiosity for that. This time there were three eggs and he saw both Teeter and Mrs. Teeter. They looked so nearly alike as they bobbed and teetered on their slim legs that he never was certain xhich was which. After all, it really idn't matter when both were there. The following morning there were four eggs. No one was at home when Peter arrived, and after admiring the eggs he went on, for there were many things to see these beautiful Spring days. It was several days before Peter was that way again. This time the eggs were not visible. In fact, Peter might not have found the nest at all had not . an anxious, protesting voice warned him look where he was going. He looked own, and then hastened to apologize. “I'm sorry,” said he. “I am, indeed. Wou are rather difficult to see when MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Stewed Prunes with Lemon. Farina with Cream.

Pieces of bright-colored jelly placed on the white of egg make an improvement in the looks of the float. CABBAGE SOUP.

No pattern for this case comes, so keep these directions. Lay a coat hanger on a piece of paper and with a ruler or ick draw a straight line along the r edge. Draw two lines, one from each end of this line, to meet at a point just above the hook. Cut along these lines and a paper pat- tern is secured. Allow for seams when cutting and also allow 112 inches extra, for this will be taken up by the hangers. Bind the edges along the bottom of | each piece. Then bind the portions to- | gether along the slanting edges. Put a loop of the tape or ribbon at the tip, and two or three lengths of the tape at the bottom edge to use as tie strings. Or the case can be fastened together at the opening with dress snaps. Work one or more owner’s initials on the cen- ter of one side of the case. Initials for cross-stitch_or filet crochet, to use as insert, are 5 cents each. A set of duck bean bags for a child in the family visited will delight any little girl or boy. From the same pattern, a dainty duck holder can be made to perch on the handle ‘of the teapot, cof- fee pot or hot-water kettle. This can be given the hostess on arriving or leaving. It is & courtesy to present a hostess and the children of the family with some little tokens when visiting.

So you have begun sitting. How long will it be before those eggs hatch?” . “About 15 days,” was the reply. “I should think it would be dull sit- ting still so long, but, of course, you take turns. By the way, I don't see Teeter. I suppose he isn't far away,” said Peter. “No, he isn't far away,” was the prompt reply. Peter quite missed the twinkle in the bright little eyes watch- him. “Does he keep guard while you sit on the eggs?” asked Peter. “As best he can. You see, I am Teeter,” was the reply. “Oh!” exclaimed Peter. “My mistake. I beg your pardon. You see, you and Mrs. Teeter look so alike that I never am certain which is which,” replied Peter. “Don't mention it,” said Teeter. “Others make the same mistake.” “DOES HE KEEP GUARD WHILE YOU SIT ON THE EGGS?” ASKED PETER. “I suppose Mrs. Teeter is off after her breakfast,” ventured Peter. “Very likely,” replied Teeter. “I hav- en’t seen her lately.” ‘What?” cried Peter. T said that I havent seen her lately,” replied Teeter a bit testil: pened to her, do you?” asked Peter anxiously, for he had come to have a friendly feeling for this funny little | couple who seemed forever trying to get their balance on their slim little legs. “Oh, I guess she can take care of herself,” replied Teeter carelessly, as if | the matter was of no special interest to | b | I hope s0,” said Peter. “It would be | hard on you if anything should happen to her, so that you were left to take care of those eggs alone.” | “Wouldn't it?” replied Teeter, and once more Peter failed to see the twinkle | in those bright eyes. | Just then there was a splash over in | the Smiling Pool, and with a hurried farewell Peter went off to see what had | made it. Teeter watched him go, and there was that same twinkle in his eyes as if he were enjoying & good joke T NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. D others share -their preference for displaying their wares. No wonder these flowers inherit the earth. From May until November, in pas- tures, wastelands and meadows, the daisies are busily engaged in spreading their family throughout the United States and Canada. As yet they have, not invaded the South and West to the | extent their cousin, blacke-eyed susan, | has, but give this hustling family a chance. So closely do the daisy children mass themselves, a field will look as if it had | been visited by a belated snowstorm.| The white banners are florets, and to- gether they attract the attention of their guests, who arg no doubt flying overhead looking for the snowy mantle. The secret of the daisy’s success lies in the fact that after she arrived in America from Europe, where every inch of the ground was kept busy, she used the same methods of perseverance here. It must have seemed like a land of great opportunity to the open-minded daisy, and she did not lose any time about getting settled. The result speaks for itself. Look closely at a daisy. It is not a single flower, but every petal a floret, and a female at that. The open corolla has grown large, white and showy. They have massed themselves Oxeye Daisy. Thistle Family. AISIES are great bellevers in full-page advertising. The but- tercups, dandelions, bluets and %NING STAR, together in the knowledge that in num- ‘OXEYE DAISY- 1 bers there is strength. So, with their heads together in a single green cup, their guests, seeing them from afar, come calling. As the pistil within the ring of stamens develops and rises through the midst of the yellow florets, the little hairs on the tip of the pistil brush the pollen from the stamens. ~Just as you would remove the soot from a lamp chimney! Then, with the pol- len in a compact little ball, the first insect that comes along is actually “swatted” with it. Now that the ripe pollen is sent to a neighbor, the pistil opens its arms and they become sticky. The guest who comes with a ball of pollen will leave it behind with her hostess. Because daisy is so liberal with her nectar, and her pollen is so easily car- ried by her guests, there is little reason to fear that daisy chains or petals for “fortunes” will become scarce.

To Explode. “Him old and young exploded, and had seized with violent hands.” ‘What a strange use of our well known term, “explode!” That is your comment, of course, on reading the quotation from Milton. But it is not strange from the viewpoint of the world’s origin. For, literally, explode means to drive a player from the stage by noisy clapping. Derived from the Latin “explodere,” we have “ex,” meaning out, plus “plodere,” to clap, to applaud! 8o a player, hooted off the stage by noisy signs of disap- proval, was “exploded.” And Cicero speaks of an actor “exploded not merely by_hissing, but by abusive words!” From what source came our modern intransitive verb for something bursting violently into flame, as gunpowder ex- plodes. That is even more noisy than the pid clapping, and it also drives somef g out. (Copyright, 1933.) — Kale and Corned Beef. ‘Wash two pounds of kale and blanch it for 5 minutes in bolling water.

Conquering Contract BY P. HAL SIMS Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team and has won 24 national championships since 1924.
