Huge Bags.

Larger and larger grow those bags
which milady carries over her arm. They
are MISUNDERSTANDING and delightful
to look at and carry, but they are so
big.
From abroad come. word that madame
now sings her bag from her shoulder
instead of carrying it over her arm in
the usual fashion. This is for two reasons
first, because the silken cords are so
long. and second, because the bag is SO
enormous.
Lovely old tapestries, heavy silks, and
brocades are used in the making OF these
elegant handbags, and their cost is often
a sum of two figures. Old rose and
lovely deep blues are especially fashion
able shades.
Twisted silken cords Of great length
take the place of the old-fashioned han
die. apd frequently the frames and
clasps are Of metal and jewel studded.

History of tho Cnsc.
In this connection 1t might be
stated that the Governor yesterday
expressed his Views as to why he has
refused to sign the measure provid-
Ing for an investigation of the COM
mission. He said that the members
Of the commission named by the
Senate were his enemies and asked
if any II thought that he would
appoint such men to make an inves-
tigation of the commission and him
self.
A concurrent resolution was adopt
ed providing for a commission to in
Ill - VI lit COllIlllSSlOh.
G. A.. Smith, Lieutenant Governor.
appointed j. Fl. Clifton, G.. w. Sulli-
a and Howard b. Carlisle, of Spar

ate to conduct the investigation.
Sp1 &cr Smith refused to appoint the
three members from the House until
Governor Blcase approved the act.
The measure was sent to Governor
Blcasc for approval and was held up.
Several days after, he sent a letter
TO the commission saying that he
would refuse 10 sign the act until
certain information as to the work
ing OF the commission was furnished.
This information was furnished,
which answered every question pro-
pounded by the Chief Executive. The
Governor still refused to sign the
measure and let the investigation
go on.
