tcularly strong and useful for their pur-
pose, writes Mrs. Barnes-Bruce in an at
tractive article on ideas in Artistic Nee
dlew0rk" in the March Ladies' Home Jour-
nal They are made in two materials, the
lower part being of some rich material, such
as velvet or brocaded fabric, which is cut
in the shape of a large butterfly and made
up over a stiff foundation. and the upper
portion being of silk or satin, which draws
together at the opening with ribbon strings,
a deep band of the material being left
above to form a full frill when the bag is
CLOSED. The butterflies, which, sewn oppo-
site TO each other with strong gussets be-
tween, form a firm base TO the bag, may, if
desired, be embroidered TO represent the
markings of the wings and body of the in
sect. The same idea may be carried out in
less expensive materials.

Mental depression, brought on by long contin- ued ill. health, drove him to desperation. --Thomas H. Belden, a man we'll known in Hartford, Ct., sporting circles, met with tragic death about , o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
