LINEN BAGS.

The linen shopping bag has gone
through fashion variations until per-
haps the small round purse bag, just
large enough 70 include kerchief, is
one Of the most acceptable among the
white ones for use with the embroid-
cred gown of heavy linen. One in
genious woman, who wasn't lazy, but
only too busy to do the bewitehing
embroidery she wanted to, made the
bag by sewing together two small
round doiiies-good hand worked ones
Of an exact size. An opening is left
which equals about OBe-thiTd of the
round doiiies. and a casing is hemmed
inside TO hold the white tie strings.
which are liner cord. The idea is so
clever that it-sUggests immediately
a perfectly washable workbag made
Of two much larger dOilies-an ideal
one for porch use.

share honors with the coat and skirt
now that warmer weather is here. The
American woman won't give up the
comfort and service OF her separate
Write blouses as long as she has to
deal with this climate. Nothing else
can be renewed at so slight an incon-
convenience in order to keep one con-

The coat suits OF this season are
unlined and when made of shantung
they are soutached In an attractive
manner. There is a tendency toward

Daily Fashion Talks.

Another design for a simple summer
dress is shown in this illustration, a
ladies' princess dress which also has
the fashionable closing at the left side.
This design has the panel front and
back giving the figure the long lines
for which every woman is striving. The
dress may be finished with q high or
round meek; and if the former is used
the chemisette and collar may be
made Of the same material as the under
sleeves to give the guimpe effect. The
sleeve provided Is In the full or three
quarter length with the cap sleeve. The
two cores at each side are heightened
by two gathered cores. This design Is
equally we'll suited 10 development IA
the soft silks and satins or in the thin
ner wash materials.
Lawn, organdy, dimity and pongee
are materials which will make up at
tractively in this design. The organizes
and dimities may be trimmed with lace
insertion and edging. while the pOngee
and lawn dresses might be hand en-
broidered- The lawn dresses may be
embroidered in white or in a delicate
color, colored embroidery being much
favored this season and the pongee mod
el may be embroidered in any of the
light colors, a pale shade of green be-
ing very effective on the Manufactured
pongee.
