novelties, extremely high class, but with
in reach of all. At fancy work counters
the stamped linen ready to be embroid-
cred and made into one of these access
sories Is to be had at very reasonable
price, and the made up articles are
priced according to the amount of hand
work which they carry.
For those who favor the chatelaine
there are chatelaine lingerie bags Of linen
and pique, the flap embroidered In floral
design and finished around the edge with
q buttonholed scallop. This bag. which
is almost square in proportions, depends
from two linen hangers stitched together
at the top, and pinned under the belt
with a nursery pin or on the outside with
a brooch, or better still, large pearl
pin to match the pearl button which
fastens down the flap.
Then there are lingerie hand bags,
these linen and pique, plain or embroid-
cred, with floral design or the owners
initials. These are cut rounding at the
corners and several inches from the top
are embroidered eyelets through which
wash ribbons are threaded. These bags
are lined with plain white lawn and they
launder like the proverbial pocket hand
kerchief.
Lately Arrived English Novelties
in Leather.-The new embossed bags
and purses which all the high-class shops
are displaying as midsummer novelties
are in rich dull browns, the embossed
designs, usually floral, in such colors as
dark browns. deep rich red and woodland
greens. Such Is the pictured bag With
bill book and change purse. The belt with
silver harness buckle matches the bag,
though 1t does not belong to the set. The
bag to the left Is an automobile access
sorry of fine pin seal with novel mounting
In silver. The inside of the bag is lined
with gray suede and the vanity fittings
are silver mounted.
Lingerie Bags Arc a Fad with
the Summer Girl.-The vogue of the
all-white street costume, tailored suit or
jumper dress of linen or pique, has en-
couraged the production of numerous
white accessories quite the most attrac-
tive of which are the new lingerie bags
or piQue, some of which are plain except
for ones monogram in white, while others
have dainty floral designs worked out
with fine mercerized linen threads Bags
of this style have rounding corners at the
bottom, and buttonholed eyelets about
three inches from the top through which
wash ribbon is run. Then there is the
chatelaine bag. This Is cut diagonally at
the corners and has the flap handsomely
embroidered, the edge scalloped and but
tonhole stitched. 1t hangs from inch
wide straps of the material and Is
pinned under or on the outside OF the
belt with a fancy pin. These lingerie
bags launder like the proverbia. icrs~
handkerchief which they carry, and are
far more practical and very much
daintier than even the prettiest OF the
leather novelties.

Novel Conceits in Bags and Belts
Bags and Purses to Match the Costume : Lingerie
Bags Midsummer Fancy

Just what is most fashionable in the
way of miadi's hand bag and purse
would be difficult to define. There are so
many and such novelties, ranging from
the small change purse on through the
smaller vanity and hand bags to the large
and commodous shopping bag. Like every
other department of women's dress fash
ions In purses have changed wonderfully
within the last few seasons. until now If
one would be considered up to the minute
in all points of dress each costume or suit
must be matched by a purse appropriate
In size for the occasion, and harmonizing
in color with the costume. The shopping
bag of course, may be of any color
leather, black, tan and golden brown,
however, being the favorites. Pig skin
bags of various sizes are considered very
smart, but these are not seen as generally
as the dark brown and black bags, for
the reason that they soil very easily and
are moreover very expensive, therefore to
be possessed only by those with gener-
ous bank account and no scruples about
using 1t.
Vanity bags with miniature toilet ac-
cessories are seen In variety of athers,
also In a variety of shapes, but these are
not carried for street wear as they once
list however uses a bag of this descrlp-
ton and finds In 1t faithful friend. The
newest of these are about ten inches
long, seven inches deep and some two
and half to three inches thick, made OF
a fine pin seal, and show novel mountings
In gilt or silver. There Is a short strap
handle on the top, this arrangement hav-
ing been found to be much more conven-
lent than the strap on the back.
Embossed leather bags, purses, bill ana
card cases are the newest novelties from
London. Few shoppers, perhaps, know
that the best things in leather goods
come from England, taking for granted
that everything in the way Of fashions
for women emanate from the French capt.
tai Paris, 1t is true, does give us our
fashions, that is, costumes, but to Eng
land--London-w are indebted for our
leather novelties. These new embossed
feathers are In rather dull soft browns,
grays and sometimes very dark greens,
the design, floral or conventional, in
deeper browns, greens and rich reds.
Brown bags Of soft suede are especially
attractive with embossing In red, the de-
sign being large poppies with yellow
centers and outlined with black mark
ings Bags Of this description have little
bill books and change purses OF embossed
leather with q single flower on the top
side, and are lined, as is the large bag,
with brown MORE. Belts are also seen
In this same embossed leather. and high
class shops show sets of bag and belt
which make exceptionally attractive ae-
cessories to the street costume. Still
others of these embossed novelties are in
the shape of hearts and shields.
Lingerie bags are charming summer
