Girls are making charming little
silk bags Of all descriptions and for

the daintiest pink bags, to another lit

On the steeple OF an old Universal

wooden figure of an angel. It Is not
remarkably fine specimen of art. and
has always been somewhat laughed
about, especially because Of its nigh

the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on its feet?" why. no." an

AN EASY MADE DRESS BAG
Protects the Garment From Dust,
Dirt and Moths, and Is Worth
Trouble of Making.

When skirt or custume is not, for
a time, required. and it is hung up in
a wardrobe in a cupboard, it is very
necessary that it should be properly
protected, and for this purpose there
are many kinds of dress bags that can
be easily made, which all, more or
less effectively, protect the garment
from dust, dirt and moths.
In our sketch We show specially
good bag of this description that slips

Some Carpet Notes.

Do you know that carpet, like as
cient Gaul, is divided into three
classes? First there is the jacquard
carpet with cut or uncut pile and
a mechanical repeat form pattern. In
this class are included brussels, wilton
and ingram Then there is the en-
tightening title Of non-jacquard. AK
minister and chenille carpets are in
this group.
Finally, tsere is the printed class,
which includes fabrics on which the
design is printed after weaving.
Favor is awarded to carpets in the
following order: Brussels comes first,
followed by wilton, administer, ingram,
tapestry and, last of all, velvet.

Eccentric Work Basket.

There are work bags made of tur
ties. Could anything be odder? And
yet they are not unattractive, queer as
they sound The shell of the turtle is
lined with some gay silk, and the tail
is pulled over and inserted in the
mouth, then used as a handle. They
make nice sewing baskets, and will
undoubtedly appeal to the lovers Of
the eccentric. :,
