A pretty idea is to embroider the
monogram of the recipient ON one side
of the bag. leaving the other to be dec
grated with long trailing design.
One fan bag in white satin which
was a wedding gift suggested use
when the bridal gown became a ball
dress. The design was a spray Of myr-
tie with half opened buds and flowers.
A twisted ribbon confined three plumes
which were outlined in Japanese gold
thread and the softer parts worked in
nloseiie. The ribbons on the bag re-
peated the myrtle green in the bows.
and the long ribbons were white satin.
It was an extremely dainty affair. An
other dainty bag is Of black satin COW
cred with gorgeous hued butterflies.
Half yard of satin or silk will make
a bag. while three Yards of ribbon are
required. two lengths of six inches
each being necessary for running the
draw strings in. The amount of mate
rial is not large, and in these days of
lovely remnants a small sum will suf-
nee to make really exquisite bag.
