Manv STYLES of Tailored Belts

and black and black and white.
Red belts are exceptionally popular.
They are of English morocco, leather and
silk ribbing in brilliant carmine, deep
crimson and French rose, made up in
crush or stiff style; tailored, cut-out or
nail studded and arranged to close blindly,
or with large oval or square buckles of
gun, gold or silver, sometimes bearing
monogram.
Launderable belts are of hand embroid,
cred heavy linen with strap fronts and
pearl buckles, and of heavy cord, cro-
cheted and SO shaped that they fit per-
fectly over the hips. Both types of wash
belt are in white as well as in the prevail
ing tones of gray, blue, green and violet
and some of them are ornamented at the
back with three large buttons of dulled Or
polished metal.
The most practical plan for a schoolgirl
to adopt in regard to her belts is to have
several really handsome buckles or clasps
which may easily be shifted from one strip
of leather or ribbon to another. There are
most attractive buckles of dull and oxi-
died silver, delicAtely chased or elabo-
rately hand wrought; plain discs and mar
row ovals or squares of FURNISHED gold and
French gray metals set with lGpis lazuIi.

IT O accompany the tailored shlrtwalst
of the college girl are belts of tne' SOFT
leather in attractive shades of green,
violet, blue and rose. The leather strip
is folded once, ornamented along each
edge with a fine design in steel and Joined
with a similarly decorated leather covered
buckle.
Suede belts are of crush width, fastened
with silver gilt clasps, of narrow strips
of the pelt laid over a silk band of con-
trasting hue or cut out in trellis design
and unlined They fasten blindly with a
hook or have pointed flap end punctu-
ated with a single colored stone.
Bronze leather belts with gilt buckles
are considered good style with tailored
shirtwaist, as are also those of silk rubber
lightly studded with cut steel, equipped
with cut steel buckles, or of tailored auto
leather with leather covered buckle.
Patent leather belts are only smart
when severely tailored and closed with
buckles of copper or brass Any attempt
to embellish such belts gives them an
ordinary appearance, although there are
a few attractive looking models in white
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-17

Among suede bags are some of basket
shape, embossed in wicker effect and
equipped with glace leather handles and
interior purses. Some of the balloon
order, made over metal frames, are dec
GRATED with jet nails or small jet orna-
ments, which are quite effective against
the natural tint of the suede.
In pigskin are bags with balloon bot
toms lined and fitted with tiny coin
purses and card cases of the fashionable
red morocco, and n somewhat similar
model is developed in black patent kid,
India seal and English morocco. They
are lined with black, taupe or prune
leather, have two strap handles and are
ornamented with a large gilt initial in
old English type, Sometimes these at
tached initials or monograms are In metal
frames of from one and half to three
inch dimensions.
In the fashionable brown shades, and
especially In khaki, are leather grain
bags of oblong shape They have
rounded corners and their frames are
concealed by extended side flaps, which
give them square appearance at the
top. Suede covered bags of this order
have soft, flexible edged flaps set two
inches from either side of the top bar
and fastened TO it with gold rivets. Some
of the brown bags have bound into the
frame with the leather a silk fringe,
which is exactly the length of the bag
and completely covers it, while others
have short fringe Snotted into the bot
tom and the Sides Also of the Sioux
order, and quite effective, are the large
machine made bead bags finished with
two inch deep bead fringe of black and
white, mingled with gold and silver.
A feature Of the autumn shopping bag
is the tab extending over the leather
covered metal frame from back to front
and equipped with an ornamentally
etched or plain metal name plate for
initial engraving,
The newest shopping bag handles are
of French snake metals, but great many
of cord are employed. The cord handles
are in long double strands, either braided
fatty or twisted, and owe much of their
popularity to the fact that they allow the
bag to swing more gracefully from the
arm than if it were suspended by stiff
handle. Moreover, the cord may be let
out for its entire length or knotted into
a loop within few inches of the top.
Amethyst bids fair to be the fashion,
able shade for shopping bags during the
coming winter. Next in favor will be
the mauve and violet tones, then sea,
olive and dull green's: golden brown and
dark tans, taupe, pearl and pale gray
a few of the topaz tints and the blue Of
the lapis lazuli.

articles aids greatly in the relaxing proc-
ess But in any event she nromnflv dis
misses from her thoughts any unpleasant
occurrences or remarks and dwells upon
something that is agreeable, but not
humorous, as that would tend to make
the brain active. The calm state of mind
helps her to get perfect control of her facial
muscles so that in case she should fall
asleep her forehead and mouth would
not be distorted by jealous or petulant
thoughts. Consequently when she awak-
ems her face is smooth, her eyes are bright
and her mind serene Then, because She
Is conscious of looking we'll and is feeling
rested, her natural impulse is to smile
graciously upon and speak tactfully to
every one whom she encounters. That is
why she always has something pleasant
to say when she enters a room, is ready to
do whatever her hostess suggests and
can move about with quiet, deliberate
grace instead Of noisy, hasty awkward
ness.
1.-The nervous girl who tries TO rest
while her eyes are wide open, her muscles
cramped and her brain tense is wasting
time, for even if she should fall into a fitful
doze she is liable to awaken from it with
aching limbs and a doleful facial express
sion, not to mention n discontented frame
of mind, which will certainly be reflected
in her voice and manner. She will prove
a worry to her kinsfolk and a bore TO her
lacquaintances. whereas If she would only
persist in practising the art of perfect
relaxation her reward would probably
be perennial youth as well ms the peron-
luial popularity which belongs to all

If girls do not care to enter into a plan
which will have to be carried on through
the season, or at least for several weeks
but wish instead to make some money
by single affair, sachet sale may be
substituted for the other plan. This
would, of course, last only one afternoon

taken her departure. ~ begged her to
stop month with US, but she has more
invitations than she can accept, and quite
naturally, too, as a girl of the restful
type is thoroughly appreciated by host
esses of every age and disposition. She
does not lose her temper, move abruptly
or talk excitedly, because she never per-
mits herself to get overfatigued," vouch-
safed the April Grandmother. 'Yet, al
though she does not voluntarily discuss
her ailments, she admitted to me that a
natural tendency toward nervousness
made it necessary for her to husband her
vitality instead of recklessly expending
it. No matter what may be the tempta-
tion to forego a half hours rest between
breakfast and luncheon and luncheon and
dinner, she never gives way to it, for she
realizes that the result of physical and
mental fatigue is to draw faint lines
upon the face as well as crosses upon
the disposition, and that while such marks
do not greatly mar young girls beauty
and charm they are certain to deepen
each year and gradually rob her of all

n NE very good plan which has been
found to work well by a group of
schoolgirls in a large city is the sup
plying of sachets TO women acquaint-
ances. This has many advantages, one
being that the time necessary to pre-
pare the sachets is very small and an
other that the product is marketable
and continues to be So the customer usu-
ally remaining a steady one.
In the instance referred to the sachets
were made by a group of girls calling
themselves the Buds and Blossoms
Circle" of a day nursery. The girls
procured their sachet powder from a
wholesale house, paying only wholesale
prices. The greatest care was taken in
the selection and mixing of the powder
There was no attempt to make silk, bro
cade or lingerie sachet bags, which would
take quite great deal of time, but in
stead all the sweet scent was placed in
paper envelopes or cotton pads, as is
done In those sold at the chemists. For
violet sachets there were deep violet en-
velopes. long and narrow or square, tied
with narrow gold cord and sealed with
a large violet or gold seal. For rose there
were rose aowered paper envelopes, made
of wallpaper or fowered crepe paper.
Moire wallpaper tied with satin ribbon
sealed with gold made most attractive
envelopes. Striped wallpaper in pale
blue and white tied with narrow rose
ribbon and sealed with rose wax made a
most attractive envelope for French
sachets.
1t was great fun selecting the different
papers, ribbons and wax, and the max
ing of the envelopes is an affair of
few minutes. A faithful searching of
stationers' shops also revealed many
treasures in envelopes of charming hues
which the stationer was glad to be re-
heYed of because of their non-conformity
TO the present style.

of prices based on that current in the
leading chemists shops and perfumers
for envelope sachets of the same scent
was decided upon. These sachets are
usually bought by the dozen or half dozen,
as they are used very freely by many
women who prefer to scatter them among
their clothes than to use scented pads for
their bureaus and boxes. The notices
sent out were worded as follows:-
