MAKE HANDBAG OF LEFTOvERS
Prettier and More Lasting Than Any
That One Is Able to Buy
in the Shops.

The girl who has left over from one
of her frocks a four or five inch strip
of gold tissue or net such as was used
in yokes this past season can turn II
to account in an exquisite workbaS.
Make round bottom, f1ve or SIX
inches in diameter, and cover 1t with
plain blue, green or lilac silk that has
n satiny sheen. Make bag seven
inches deep and long enough to go
twice around the circumference of the
bottom.
The top should be turned in for an
inch and half and half inch casing
stitched or briarstitched in. If pre-
ferred, the bag may be lined with
white china silk throughout.
The strip of gold net is then sewed
around the lower part of the bag. This
should be about half the depth. or
wider II desired. The top may be
ecalloped, but in an irregular waving
line, or cut into square tabs. The net
is then darned in with different col
iored embroidery silk or merceriZed
cottons to give a solid darned surface.
This stitchery may be straight around
or in waving lines or follow the out
line of top. II top is pointed 1t can
be arranged in deep points around en-
tire surface. Care must be taken that
the order of colors is observed in
starting new groups OF darning.

he has demonstrated his complete mas
terry. His directorship of traffic has to
great extent reached out into the

faith in his ability.
Mr.. Miller entered the railroad busi-

ton as stenographer in the general
freight Offices of the Michigan Central
railroad.
Three years later he became a clerk
in the general freight offices of the ST.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern rail-
way. In 1881 he was made chief clerk
to the general manager
| When two years more had passed
he held the position of general freight
and ticket agent of the road. While
climbing the ladder Of promotion he
had married Miss Sue C. Brown at
Morris, ILL.,. in 1882.
The Memphis & Little Rock rail-
road next claimed his services as gen.
eral freight and passenger agent.
which occupied his attention from
| 1887 to 1889, when he was made traf-

Then came a succession of short
stays with one road or another as

CARE IN HAIR ARRANGEMENT
With the Present styles This Is Most
EssentiaI-Should be Tied
Firmly.

In this day of false hair 1t is we'll to
have it well reefed to the head or un-
pleasant exposure may follow. This
is best managed by tying the hair
firmly before attempting to arrange it.
Any woman who has attempted this
tying with ordinary string will well
come some of the novelties now to be
bought for this purpose One con-
venient arrangement is piece of
wrapped wire about four inches long.
One end is pointed and the other
forms loop, through which the point
is pushed when the hair has been
wrapped several times.
Even more easily managed Is a loop
of silk braid or elastic about two
inches long. There is a small button
at one end over which the elastic 10
slipped after being wound twice
around the hair.
For light hair these fasteners can
be bought in browns and tans so that
there is less danger of them showing.
An ideal advantage of such arrange.
ments is that they can be bought by
the box or card, so there is no mad
hunt for shoestring or ribbon that
has been mislaid.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-

vented by serious skin affections

of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and

skin and hair may be preserved. puri-

moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life. The rapid

which have frightened for them the

~ NE OF the most charming fashions
of the season is the wearing of a
muff and stole set in the evening
and at afternoon receptions and
musicales. The sets made entirely Of
fur are beautiful. but the pelts that
are appropriate for these occasions are
so costly that they are miles beyond
che average income.
Quite as smart as the fur sets, how
ever, are those made of lace and
chiffon. with perhaps a bit of fur and
clusters of flowers. These frilly af-
fairs are one OF the picturesque and
novel features of the season. One Of
the chief advantages is that they
may be made at home, and many
little bits OF trimmings or fabrics
taken from the piece bag or from an
old garment may be used in their
makeup.
Especially useful are the old-fash-
toned fur sets which are only slightly
worn. They may be cut into strips
