Pretty New Opera Bag.

There is a new idea In an opera bag that
Is not at all difficult ofsconstructlon, and
IL there are any handsome or dainty bits
OF silk or ribbon on hand. 1t Will cost next
to nothing. When complete, It is just
like handbag &. minus ends and closing,
The very best kind OF Foundation would
be the stiff covers and back OF an old
lbook-Just removing the leaves. Both
covers and back on one side should be
neatly covered with handsome ribbon OF 4
sbrocade. This Is for the outside. Inside,
the covers should have n pocket on EACH,
made full and shrred Mt the opening
Into one goes the handkerchief, the other /
serves as a vanity bag. Cord orr ribbon
handles are now sewed on. when 1t Is Z
ready for the opera glasses. or ratherit the i
bag for Them. Cut aEstrlp OF cardboard
the length and width OF the glasses. then
sew a piece Of silk all around 1t. forming
q bag and making a. heading at the top
;runEin draw strings and pull up to close
The bag is then set into the covers. the
cardboard being firmly glued down to the
back OF the book where the leaves We're. ID
Altogether, It Is the most conYenlcIl ar +

is as dainty as possible Soft rose pink

of stones. though the good fortune, as
