seady Beaatiti and
Her Oanity Bag

NnILADI BEAUTIFUL of 1905 never
Inns ventures forth from her boudoir
without kit of preening tools
neatly bestowed in some compact little
case. She may carry it dangling in
heavy gold or silver from her wrist or
from the chain about her neck. She
may have it folded in her hand in
tat envelope bag of supple leather or
tapestry, or she may have it tucked
away in the spacious lining of dainty
opera bag. Certain it is, however, that
this vanity case will accompany her
wherever she goes, be she on calling,
shopping or amusement bent.
Gold and silver vanity cases, which
in shape and size look like metal cigar
cite holders, contain on one side of the
interior beveled mirror, while half OF
the other side is a tightly covered COM
partment for powder and wee face puff,
with celluloid memorandum and pen
Gil on the other half and spring for
holding nickels. This case is suspend
ed from the wrist. and is heavy enough
to give knockout blow to pick
pocket.
Less. pretentious are the small metal
acorns which dangle from the long
neck chain. These hold a tiny mirror
inside their cap and a dolls powder
puff in their body
For receptions one woman carries q

ened by two gold clasps. This Is the
size of a mans full-length bill holder.
and looks like two envelopes with the
same lower edge. The triangular flap
of the lower envelope is brought over
and clasped on one half of the top en-
velope, While the flap Of the latter fast
ems on the remaining half. The top en-
velope contains a leather case for call
ing cards and one for change. The
lower envelope is lined with silk pock-
cts holding a gold vanity mirror,
scented powder paper and a thin cut
glass bottle of smelling salts. These
envelope bags are very handsome when
built from silk tapestry woven in deli-
cate colors and finished with mothers
of-pearl and gold mountings. A fa-
vored mounting is narrow band OF
gold or silver on which is seated, near
one corner, a lady of Japan.
Another handy case for calling trips
has mirror on it's full length flap.
The case has several silk lined conn
partments, one of which holds the wee
puff, slip of court plaster, nail file
and eyebrow brush. Then there is the
clasp compartment for money and an
other for cards and postage stamps.
These cases come in highly glazed

lavender or pale blue suede. One very
fetching case was built of untanned
calfskin showing the delicate yellow
and white markings of Jersey kline, and
was lined with white tanetas in yellow
rosebud design.
V0lumiRous silk opera bags are fit-
ted out with vanity mirror, powder
papers and eyebrow brush, as are also
the novelty opera cases from Paris.

At the theater and opera many ele-

lars which fall as berthas from the
neck of low-cut gowns are reproduced

coarse lace collars, and treat the pat

minute chiffon flowers wherever they

an effective sprinkling of little tur-
quoise stones. Biscuit lace with black
chenille and jet is also an effective
combination, and one admirably suited
to a velvet or chiffon waist.
The forms of the bodice decorations
seen everywhere are almost too many
to be counted. But girdles and fichu
draperies are in the majority, and 1t is
curious sometimes what very simple
materials effect these. Any sort of
glittering braid or bordered ribbon
turns out smart belt, whose dis

Most beautiful are some of the COM
blnations in these floral decorations,
which wonderfully enhance the prettl-
ness of airy evening frocks. Pink tint
ed camelias are seen with pale violets,
and more than one fairy like trail will
show the strange gold or silver buds
of the tinseI hot-heuse.
1t is not enough for artificial flowers
to be beautiful nowadays. They must
express something else-a quality
ethereal, unnatural, haunting. And tc
get this the blooms are made of every
thing but the honest ealicoes and vel

lated the wealth of Flora.

BAD WRECK ON SOUTHERN

There vas a bad wreck at the bridge

day afternoon about $50 O'Clock. First
section Of train No. y, freight, was
the train wrecked, and while it was a
very bad wreck and has blocked traffic
for a good many hours, no one was
hurt. 1t was almost a miracle that
some one was not killed in the tear-up.
The wreck was occasioned by a
broken f1ange on one Of the car wheels.
The first car to leave the track left
about three hundred yards before the
bridge was reached. At the bridge this
car went down with a section of the
bridge and fell into the river. It was
followed by six other cars that turned
over but did not get into the water, and
by two cars that leftlthe track but did
not turn. Only the caboose was left
on the track at the rear end of the
train.-Durham Herald.
