Of the leaf. causing it dry up. These beetles
spoil the elm trees.
Until this year the city OF Springfield Mass had

THE CLUBS
Now Century Club.

The past two meetings Of the New
Century Club have proved to be
among the most interesting of the
wears work. At the meeting Nov.
Goth. held at the home OF Mrs.
March, Mrs. Wilkinson gave very
finely written and very interesting
paper on the French revolution.
Mrs. Reinks and Mrs. Abbott follow
ing with the lives Of the two most
prominent writer's of that period,
Voltaire and Rosseau, whose writings
had such great influence upon the
revolution. Dainty refreshments
were served.
The meeting of Dec. 18th at the
home of Mrs. Arbuckle was con-
tinuation of the same period. Mrs.
Wilkinson finished her paper Of the
revolution which was followed by
the life of Napoleon by Mrs. Hopkins
and Marie Antoinette by Mrs.
Rocho, both Of which proved very
interesting. Mrs. Flint then gave a
brief sketch of the life of Diderot
and Mrs. Lyons of Montesquiers,
after which dainty refreshments were
served by the hostess.
Mrs. Wilkinson then extended to
the club an invitation to take
luncheon with her at her home in
Pleasant Valley at O'Clock, Jan.
Sd, that being the next regular
meeting, after which the regular
program will be carried out. 1t is
needless to add the invitation was
accepted with pleasure.

The center is used as n workbasket
are to be found, while each little bag
holds its kind Of work entirely sepa-
rate and out of a general disorder.
They are pretty in almost every ma
terial, but the newest are of scrim.
Other new bags come of cretonnes in
small designs cut into four oblongs
and the seams joined on the outside
and bound with tape. A pocket is put
on each side, with flap that buttons
down fiat, and the whole bag is sewed
on square base. Tapes instead of rib
bons to match the binding tapes are
used for drawing strings.
Shoe bags, just plain bags about a
foot long, are made Of cretonne in the
plainest of bag fashions and drawn
up with tapes. A set of half Il dozen
Is pretty, inexpensive gift and are
luxury to girl who travels good
deal and who knows the bother Of
wrapping her shoes up in paper.
Corset bags are a great protection to
that best pair of corsets. They are
long, slim affairs, just big enough to
snugly cover up the corsets when
they're rolled from each side toward
the tapes. Six inches wide. sixteen
inches long, is the best length to
make them. Some are of thin main
sook simply made up over pink lawn
and with narrow casing made by two
rows Of brier stitching with embroid-
cry cotton. Dotted swiss over a color
is equally pretty. while the most elab.
crate are Of white satin. painted with
roses in delicate colors. or of brocad-
ed silks. But the simple ones are the
prettiest Of all and little more in
keeping with the piles of snowy under
clothes, delicate lingerie or sturdier
things that share drawer with 1t.
Renaissance has been called in for
everything from table covers to hats
but the newest, prettiest idea Is to
make fans Of It, The creamy braids
and the white ones are equally pretty
and designs with great butterflies
spreading their wings seem particular
ly appropriate to the frivolous toy that
Is meant to f1utter as gracefully as
they. Lovers Of renaissance work will
welcome this new departure, and the
girl with dilapidated finn, but pair
Of lovely fan sticks-mother- of pearl or
ivory-will achieve q rare gift II she
makes the lace and mounts it ON the
discarded sticks.
Umbrella handles are greatly in
vogue as presents. and some of the
newest are exquisite works of art in
crystal, Jade and enamel, with circlets
Of tiny rubies and diamonds cutting
the center Of the ball The charming
idea Of inclosing the miniature or q
photograph Of the beloved one" in the
dat circular case forming the top OF
the umbrella stick or cane is truly Pa
risian. This is certainly a graceful
fashion, especially as a present for a
f1ance
Guest books are especially appropri-
ate for the people who are Just mar,

run in a little drawing ribbon, and
there will then be formed a bag at each
side of the cushion. The latter does
equally well for plain and stick pins
and the bags for spools and jewels.
Less fancy, but very sensible, Is
round, shallow reed basket not too
large. Fill in the bottom with cush-
ion in some pleasing shade Of silk and
make five very small cushions Of the
same material to fasten to the side of
the basket, so that they just touch the
bottom one. They are fastened on at
even distances, and between each cush-
ion is tied a bow Of narrow ribbon.
The large cushion Is for ordinary white
pins and the others for different colors
and sizes.
The newest thing in belts, and some
thing easily made with little skill, is
suede, stenciled or embroidered. Pas
tel tinted feathers make up prettiest,
and the paints used are the fresco or
zinc colors that are sold cheaply in
glass jars. Gold and silver stencil on
suede is very effective, silver or gray
suede showing beautifully on a
blotched background Of mauves and
oriental colors. Whoever can do bro
derie anglaise on cloth can probably
do the same ON suede. and this, backed
with self toned silk, makes up into
charming card cases.
A pretty penwiper is evolved from
q piece of wash suede laid out in a
slightly four petaled effect and the bios
SONS then tinted green crimson like a
dogwood flower. Three little chamois
four notched pieces are fastened to the
blossom with a narrow olive ribbon.
Collar boxes that have tiny box for
buttons in the cover are useful to men.
They are made of two circles Of card
board. large and small, silk covered
and sewed to covered bottom. This
is Just the size OF the large circle,
which is sewed to the edge Of the bot
tom after the small circle has been
sewed to its center. The lid Is made
similar to the bottom, only in the CEN

lids are raised by ribbon loops.
