THE HOME ITS PROBLEMS lAND INTERESTS
POCKETI-ESS FEN1ININITY NO
LONGER TO BE PITIED
The Omnipresent Bag Takes the Place of Mas
culine Necessity

The bags the thing this season, and
pocketless femininity halls with Joy the
opportunity for making secure purse
and kerchief and then pushes the move
ment along enthusia sticaily
Big bags. little bags. fat bags, thin
bags, bags of all colors. sizes and ma
terials are shown in the shops, and the
woman who contents herself with one of
the array is a pure stole The makers
have designed bags for all occasions. for
all costumes. and now. when one-tone
harmony Is the fad, there is a tempta-
tion lurking In each bag that matches a
frock
The old-time chateiaine bag has fallen
from grace. Though the handbag Is often
laid down careiessly and forgotten. it is
perhaps as safe as the chatelaine. which
was. as a rule. insecurity hooked to belt
or girdle and was not near so attractive
as the present vogue.
First In the list Of desirabies come the
general utility bags, those TO be carried
by the shopper or commuter. They are
legion and present a bewildering variety
of form and detail Some of them are
large enough TO hold many small parcels
and In addition are fitted out with card
case, purse. notebook, vinaigrette and
pencil. Others present the commodiOus-
ness without the expensive fittings.
A majority of the larger bags are
made in smooth and flexible morocco.

He1 HAS Match.

The girl in the mauve linen dress. with
hat exquisitely matching, looked so
pretty that YOU turned TO look a second
time Then you looked a third time,
and il your eyes were good and you had
some knowledge OF these things. you
saw that her hat was made Of paper.
Yes, the paper hat. coming on the
scenes last summer. has stayed. This
summer YOU see il more than ever, and
the reason is that with so many coIored
linen gowns. and the necessity of match
ing each one in headgear the paper hat
exactly fills the bill With a red one,
blue one. a mauve one, and so on-one
for every bright-hued dress--the summer
girl can look wonderfully well on a
very little sum.
Any style is open 10 imitation by
her clever fingers. She has tOques, pic
ture hats and matinee hats. Their style
lies moro in the shape than in the. dec
Grafton, which Is always simple-a bunch
OF paper flowers. or a wreath. Perhaps
the close, braided tOque. such as the
girl IN maUve wore, is the most decep-
tive as - cost
Honest -, such a hat can be made up
Tor about 70 cents. But IL is never
necessary TO think OF that when YOU ad-
mlre Il on its pretty Wearer. Ard, as
said IN the beginning. unless you have
sharp eyes and experience you'u never
guess IL 10 be paper hat anyway.

which takes beautifully any coloring de-
sired. and works into a large fat bag
without seeming awkward or heavy
Bright red and clear royal blue have
been favorite coIors but women of quiet
tastes found them too conspicuous and
bought instead a dark morocco, a rich
yet sober dark green, a deep violet, or a
brown.
There is bag. something like a pock-
etbook with a small change purse set on
one side and upon the other a leather
strap through which 10 slip the hand
This strap, OF course, dispenseS with TIE
need OF handles. All of these are repro
duced in many feathers other than mo-
rocco. The extra large square OF oblong
fiat bags with leather handles are par
ticularly smart in pigskin, and certain
firms noted for their specialties in this
style have been usually successful in
their sales
The walrus skin in soft grays and
browns and black is exceedingly popu-
lar, while lizard skin retains decided
vogue, although IL is reserved for bags
comparatively small.
Beaded bags IN exquisite colorings end
designs and in all sizes from the finger
bag to the ordinary chatelaine size are
as fashionable a g ever, and. though the
there are many pretty designs in enc
tone or In shaded beads that are not
tremendously expensive. Many women
have become clever enough at bead work
TO fashion the body of bead bag and
then have II mounted.
Bags of old brocade and embroidery
are In the same class with the bead
bags and are made in much the same
shapes with similar mountings-

Imitation Jewels Popular.
Fancy buckles of antique silver in

also among the new buckles.
Eovel and Pretty Styles.
Owls and bats. however, are quite the
most stylish buckles Of the season and
are as pretty as they are novel.

between the aged mother and her two
daughters was the subject of admiring
comment b. all who knew them in their
home life.

Marriages and Births Decrease.
President Hail said in part.
