Untidy Reconsideration

Persons who are prompt are rarely un- tidy, for the former characteristic usually precludes the latter.
 Being prompt and tidy does not mean being impossible and strenuous. Those individuals who are so forehanded as to drive all others to the verge of discomfort are simply class all by themselves, for it is one of extremes.
 Untidness should be regarded as an evil habit that often wrecks character. It is seen in the disorderly condition of bureau drawers. belittered sewing rooms and beds over which all sorts of articles have been thrown through the day.
 When a woman is lax about these things the chances are ten to one she will be lax about other things as well.
 Those who have made a study of such things say that person fundamentally lacking In these requisites is rarely en- tirely truthful.
 A moral laziness seems to be involved and when 1t Is easier and pleasanter to deceive one will do it rather than sum- mons the strength required to be truth fuf and firm.
 An untidy person, and by this is not merely lack of cleanliness in the matter of soap and water, is almost always an extravagant one, and many household has been shipwrecked for this very reason
 good housewife realizes the import ance of method in everything pertaining to the management of her affairs, just as the business man must have system and method to keep his business run ming smoothly, all of which is explained in a few words, namely-sense of order
 Untidiness invariably leads to a scramb- ling in living that is wearing to the most stolid temperament. For the reason that the lavy individual never has anything in order 1t is necessary to live ones life in a terrible state of turmoil, and with

The New Bags.

One of the most important points about the well dressed woman Is the fact that the bag she carries either for shopping, calling travelling or whatever the occasion may be, is correct
 In recent years there has not been so much attention paid to these things as now, and those who are very punctillious and have the wherewithal to gratify their tastes have an infinite variety to choose from.
 For morning wear, shopping and that sort of thing. the pigskin bags are more stylish than anything else. These bags are what is termed as strictly tailor made" and are severely plain.
 Next to these the bags of lizard and alligator skin are most popular. How ever, these are dressier, for they are re- splendent with the mountings of silver or gold, rich, in elaborate, or at least, un- usual design.
 Many of the gold and silver bags, whether square or oval, are exquisitely etched, and the heavy bracelet to which , they are attached, assuring the wearer of safety when using them, Is done in beautiful design. Ones name and ad- dress are engraved on the outside of the bag in heavy old English, or in tiny let ters of script
 Some of the bags for spring use are of the material to match ones gown and lined with a similar shade. The skeleton frames may be selected at the jewellers and then the material mounted to suit ones taste
