OLD FASHIONED PURSES
They Have Come Into Fashion Again,

and the Homlier the More Popular.
Purses carried by women nowadays
are in fancy grains and fancy colors
the grain of the leather giving an ap
pearance of shading, while the edges
are bound in plain shade of the SAME
color or in contrasting color. THESE
purses are all made in the common
patterns, with change and bill com
partments.
There is a revival of an old German
purse. which is big fiat pouch wner
opened and has fiat top frame of stee
in four pieces. The sides of the purse
are fiat and bound with straight pieces
of steel, while the leather forms a has
hanging from these side steels. This
end steels are half as wide and are
hinged to the side pieces, folding acros.

When opened wide the whole purse
is spread out about eight inches long

array of memoran IN an ! samples. must
be detrimental to its popularity, as il
must be held claSpcd in the hand, and
1t makes a pretty good handful.
The popular purse. however, is of
the plainest and homlieSt type. 1t is
the finger purse" named from the
womcn's habit of carrying it with the
fingers thrust through the big retaining
strap across the front This purse is
made of three plain strips Of roughly
finished pie skin, making two compart.
mcntS in the simplest form. One is
gussetted for change and the other is
a fiat pocket for bills. The flap of both
compartments slips through strar
across the front piece The whole is
seWed about the edges with harness
stitching, with no attempt at ornamen
tation.
To individualize this purse there are
big brass initials. the same as are
used in ornamenting brass trimmed
sets of harness These are furnished
with retaining pins on the back, which
are easily thrust through the leather
and pressed down fiat.
There is something rich about the
appearance of these simple purses. and
their oddly has made them most nnnu.

comparing Steel.

The tempering Of steel with uniform
results is feat hardly to be achieved
by the most expert artisan. A German
inventor had devised a process for ac-
curately obtaining any desired degree
Of hardness, the variations being effect
ed by changes in the liquid used, and
depending on the fact that graded re-
suits may be produced by the use of
milk in varying forms and dilutions-
that is, by fresh and skinned milk,
sweet and sour whey. fresh and old
buttermilk, and different mixtures with
water. The various stages of acidifica
ton of milk are also said to give all
the effects of hardening in oil and 9TH
er fat mixtures.
