WOMAN'S WORLD
HOMEMADE BEAN BAGS.
Game still Retains a Fair Degree Of
Popularity.

Popularity.
While the safe and comfortable bean
bag has been sidetracked to some ex-
tent in favor Of more strenuous forms
OF diversion. It still retains a fair de-
4 gree Of popularity
In one family where the beam bag
retains its old time prestige a German
auntle made for the little folk a set Of
bags that has been much admired and
Is highly appreciated The set consists
OF four bean bags. two round ones and
two square ones. which are all rather
small and oil crocheted with mercer
lied thread In the respective flag colors
of different nationalities and made as
follows:
United States "A round bag. Begun
IN center and croeheted round and
round~seven rows In red, seven in
white, seven In blue. The reverse side
crocheted in same way-twenty-
rows In blue The two round sides
Of bag nre crocheted together aud fin-
ished with tiny narrow scalloped edge.
spainA square bag -Four rows
fifty stitches IN length. n yellow. three
rows OF red, seven rows or yellow,
three Of red and four Of yellow. The
reverse side tn solid red.
GermanyA round bag. Seven rows
OF black seven Of white and seven Of
red, with a black reverse side.
Italy.-A square bag Of same dlmen-
sions as the Spanish one. Seven rows
Of red, fifty stitches long; seven Of
white and seven Of green; reverse side
jof plain green The bags should he
crocheted closely to admit Of being ell
ed with small sized beans and should
not be filed very full
The nationalities represented In a set
could vary with individual taste. and
set could consist Of two. three, five
or even seven bean bags. But what
ever combination is chosen the multi
colored bean bags make an attractive
showing and a charming present. while
they are In the making IN easily ham
died and pleasing sort Of fancy work.
