Some of the New Bags.

n NE Of the newest handbags is quite
small, In contrast to the mammoth
" ones that have been the FAD. The
favorite shape is obloug. about seven
inches wide and about FIVE deep. The
special favorites for spring are in colored
leather, In shades of mauve. apricot. blue,
violet and red. They usually carry on
the outside flap three small initials in
gold or In a darker shade than the
leather.
Most Of these bugs. though small, have
on one side compartments for mirror and
vanity case, and on the other place for
the handkerchief and cardcase. Others
have special change purses attached by
a light chain, so 1t can easily be pulled
out in crowd instead Of delving into
the crowded bag.

Whittier and His Admirers.

Few poets had more admirers
among women than Whittier had,
and this admiration frequently took
personal form. One day his sister,
in her slow Quaker fashion, was de-
scribing these eruptions. ''Thee
hast no idea," she said, 'eof the time
Greenleaf spends in trying to lose
these people on the streets. Some
times he comes home and says,
Well, sister, / had hard work to
lose him, but l have lost him." To
this Whittier pathetically added,
'But l can never lose her."
