It is called a ribbon bag. because II is
fashioned altogether Of the gay rip
peries. Whatever the color scheme
selected it must be carried out in lus-
trous lengths of satin, or MORE, or
fancy ribbon
In making this cunning conceit, you
first decide upon its length and cut the
ribbon accordingly. A good-sized fan
may be your guide. and the ribbon is
cut a trif1e longer to allow for draw
strings and gathers
ANY width may be used, but the most
graceful bag is formed from ribbon
three inches and a half wide, and not
quite half yard long.
Two lengths of ribbon are required,
one for the front and the other for the
back of the bag They are placed to-
gether and two Of the edges sewed up
on the wrong side; then the joined
pieces are laid out fat and on the
wrong side, a very delicate pad of bat
ting spread upon them, finally overlaid
with lining of tinted silk If desired,
a powdering of jasmine, or some other
subtle sachets may be placed upon the
batting before the silk is put in posi-
ton.
When batting and silk are arranged,
fold over the whole thing and stitch
up on the wrong side the two unsewed
edges Of the bag After the bottom
has been secured, turn the bag over to
the right side. A draw-string run
with narrow ribbons is given the top,
90 that quite a rufaed edge stands up,
revealing glimpses Of the silk lining

like its foundation, consist of ribbon

Hour Horses Breathe.

A Psychologist says horse cannot breathe
through its mouth like dog and other an
finals 1t can only breathe through its nose.
The soft palate forms complete partition
between the mouth and throat, and can
only be elevated, or allow the passage of
food or water backwards, by compression
such as that which occurs in swallowing
The passage OF air through the mouth is en-
tirely prevented by the soft palate.
By plugging horses nose it may readily
be sufocated. 1t is because breathing can
only be performed through the nasal organs
that spacious open nOstrils are considered
not only beautiful but necessary, for they
allow at times of unusual exertion for the
free passage Of large volumes of air into the
over taxed lungs during respiration.-Nag
