A New Double Bau.

Bags are always acceptable, and
each season new designs are brought
out for the holidays.
The newest is double bag-that is,
one placed over the other. The inner
one is usually of plain silk or ribbon,
the outer of brocade or hand embrOid-
cred fabric. The first bag is made in
the usual way-that is. the sides sew
ed and the top finished with draw
string. The outer bag must aeo be
sewed at the sides. but IN the center it
is slashed from the top down three
inches or more and the corners turned
back, revers fashion. These are faced
with plain goods. One corner may dis
play an initial. or all four may be dec
GRATED with sequins or any device the
sewer pleases
The bags are placed one within the
other and firmly secured at the ends.
The inner bag will hold the opera
glasses, while the outer pockets serve
as receptacles for the handkerchief
powder puff. etc. This is another ex
ample of a dainty present that can be
made with small effort and for little
expense.
