HATBAG FOR THE TRAVELLER
Simple and Easy Method That VIII
Preserve the Much-Prized
Headgear.

The season for travelling is once
more nearly upon us, and our hats, il
not broader, are higher than ever. OF
course you may ask the porter for a
paper bag to hold your hat on the
train. But how often will 1t fit?
Try, instead, laying the hat on a
sheet of stout brown paper, so as to
get the correct size. Then make the
paper into large envelope by gather
ing the two sides in the middle and
pasting them down. Slit up the sides
about two inches and turn these down
to form the closed ends; but before
FASTING them cut away the inner part
of the turned-up ends and snip the
corners to give neat edge.
Do the same with the top of the big,
but, of course, do not paste down the
flap. Sew to each side of the bag
cord or plated Irvine handles by
which to hold the bag. The whole
may be folded and tucked in a corner
of your suitcase.

Black and tan are the smartest col

Buckles, leather covered, to match

The former variety costs more, ant
therefore, is not so common.
Bright colors, red, blue and green
may appear on dresses in belts.
They should be seen before moo

They are as wide as the leather
bands, but the kid is extremely soft.
1t may be dressed" or suede finish
With such belts silk stockings, and
kid shoes of the same color must be
chosen. and, of course, hair ribbons
are to match.
The same rule for little girls ap
plies to tiny boys, but after the age
of five years the latter should wear
belts made only of leather.

richness of the cream with the sher-
bet, which lacks richness.
Put the mold in a pan of ice and
salt to chill for an hour or two before
using. Line the inside Of the mold

The illustration shows n modest
skirt, with an odd bib panel that
would be most useful for shirt waist
wear, and if made of good material,
and combined with a lace waist, as
here, 1t could be one of the smart

Here the skirt is of a handsome

the skirt opens over panel made on

trim the sides Of this panel at the
hips and the bottom Of the skirt, and
piping of plain goods is used about
the bib piece.

FOR FANCY SLIPPERS
EASY TO HAVE PAIR TO MATCH
EVERY GOWN.
BY the Use Of Rosettes the Pardonable
Deception Cannot Be Discovered
Plated Ribbon Another
Style of Trimming.

| One of the delights of the present
day girl is to have collection of fancy
slippers-a pair for almost every gown.
None of these slippers are plain and
many of them are very much deco
rated. These decorations can be
changed so as to make the same slip
pers look like something entirely diff
ferent. The girl who cannot have as
many pairs as she has gowns can
make for herself large collection
of rosettes, bows with buckles and
various little fancy trimmings.
Black velvet slippers are used with
many gowns and they can have fiat
white bows with rhinestone buckles or
colored chiffon and satin roses. These
little flowers are not hard to make. A
strip of the material is folded over and
gathered, then twisted in such way
that 1t looks like the petals Of rose.
There is certain knack in the twist
ing, and the girl who does not succeed
in. doing it might take lesson in max
ing the flowers at an embroidery
shop.
Another style of trimming is fiat
rosette made of finely plated ribbon
This is sewed around a small circle of
the same ribbon, stiffened and edged
with beads. For very full dress occa-
sions pretty way to trim the slippers
Is with little rhinestone butterflies,
whose wings stand up. These may be
right on the slippers or have rosette
under them. The trimming is often in
different color from the slippers, so the
girl who has white pair can have
chiffon rosettes or flowers in pink, in
blue and in yellow to go with gowns of
those colors. II the gown has touches
of black in its trimming Gas so many
do now better effect is given by
using black slippers, either of velvet,
satin or patent leather The same dec
orations can be used on those as on
the white slippers, and few strong
stitches will hold them in place, so it
Is quite easy to change them.

ROCCO ROSES FIND FAVOR
Worth of Idea, Originating In Paris,
Recognized by the Women

Those tiny rocco silk roses that
have been the passion Of the Pari

found the way to American feminine
hearts as well, and have played a
large part as decorative motif on
hats, blouse, girdles and neckwear

piquant in coloring and so adaptable
to dainty design that plain satin and
gold evening shoes and slippers are
decorated with them, either in little
clusters or dainty wreaths, instead OF
the long-used buckle or bow.

In Fig. 1 French sailor with a

Small, full blown garden roses

about the base, outlining the shape and
making a good finish.

people, some of whose names are

fame! The way black was put with
color-Alice and Natter blue, cherry

these touches and others showed so
much common sense as well as beauty
II seemed incredible that any sewer
did not first look at French garments
before starting in with her own work.
The costumes dubbed petit-little--
were genuine inspirtions of almost
countrifled simplicity, the trimmings
coming in with a few buttons, per
haps little bias satin piping, the
most modest little guimpes and UNI

there isn't the least foolishness.
