raM HANDBAG os.

The plain, sturdy leather shopping
bag is entirely out of it now. SO far
as fashion is concerned Most hand
bags are frivolous affairs that look
as though meant for ornament and
not for use, but there is really a good
deal of room inside these graceful
bags. The long cord handles which
may be hung from the shoulder are
the favorite sort. but for shopping
and knockabout use shorter leather
handles seem more appropriate.

Dyeing Hint.

II you are going to dye any mate
rial at home, dissolve a pinch of bi-
carbonate of soda in the water in
which you mix the dye.
This will prevent the color from
crocking and will insure its covering
the material evenly.
If you cannot buy the shade you
wish, it can easily be mixed. For in
stance, mix blue with pink to make
violet. little yellow with green to
make moss color black with ecru for
yellow smoke, etc
Be sure 70 rinse the material very

dry after dyeing. Press while damp.
