DAINTY NEW TRIPLES,
Pretty and Novel Adjuncts to the
Consumers of Followers of the
Fashions.

Large purses and handbags are the
order Of the day. Those small leather
affairs which have been popular for
more than year are no longer consid-
cred the correct thing. To be thor
oughly modish now you must carry a
bag about ten inches deep and eight
inches broad. This should be of soft
English morocco, in black, green, dark
red, tan or blue, and have elaborate
mountings of Burmese cd 3D.. with a
short chain of the same metal by which
to carry it, says the New Yor * Herald.
A handsome bag in this new shape
had two golden lizards, enc each side
of the clasp and set in the beautifully
wrought bodies were pale amethysts.
The bags are lined withmoire to match
the shade of the leather.
Card cases, too, lave increased in
size, and the prettiest of those intend
ed to be carried this autumn are made
of soft suede in pale gray, dining red
or golden brown. Sometimes there
will be a border to the flap of reddish
gold, highly polished, and again, say,
y
sign in gray silver, the figure occupy
ing one corner, while the tail and,
draperies swirl across to cover the
other end.
A genuine novelty in the way of
leather goods is shown in portfolio
or case to be used as a memorandum
for telephone numbers. The case is
>hur
side covered with soft red, black or
brown morocco, and the inside ar
ranged so that between the narrow
strips of leather there are bits of
white bristol board just the right size
on which to jet down names and num-
bers of those you are. apt to want often
est on the telephone. The case holds
slips enough for bout 40 names.
There are desk furnishings in beau
tiful glossy red metal called golden
copper ware. \ large inkstand of this
rich material is supplied with a pen
rack made from small brownish red
antlers. Picture frames in this golden
copper with plain polish surfaces make
an effective background for carbon
and artist proof photographs.
These simply afford a pleasant
change from the elaborate jeweled
ones. Besides the frames there are
fancy powder boxes, smaller ones for
stamps and pins, as well as all man
ner of pretty trays, suitable for the
boudoir or library.
The ware gets it's name from the
beautiful blending of the coppery hue
and pale dull gold.
Tortoise shell combs are going to be
worn as much as ever this fall and the
usual set includes three or four, the
extra one being a pompadour comb,
which is placed in the hair entirely for
service, as it does not show when the
couture is completed.
The newest combs are certainly de-
signed with some idea of comfort, for
the rims are rounded down in the cen
ter to fit about the fiat knot on the
top of the head. Even the larger comb
intended to keep up stray ''scolding
locks" is curved after the same fash
|, ion.
This, by the way, is narrower than
formerly, and does not give the head
SO broad a look as the heavily trimmed
ones that have been the correct thing
T. For evening wear there are jewefeo
tortoise combs, in sets of three and
four, but for the street nothing is quite
so pretty as rich ruby shell, plain and
polished until it CLOVIS. % .:%
