The time when the school was cs-

odds ways for her to carry it.

handbag has become COMMONPLACE,
now a woman can tuck these in her
bracelet. One of the new kind has
flexible links of gold wire. with the
vanity box on top in the shape Of an
oval medallion with handsome mono

Or she can wear 1t around her neck
as sautoir. Fascinating vanity pen
dants are shown of all STYLES and
prices, from gay ones of French Jew

most popular of the vanity cases for
the neck are those of colored Rus

Again, one may carry a vanity box
IN the end of the parasol, or as the
head OF a big hatpin, disguised as a
charm for her chatelaine, or even set
in one of the big buttons that orna-
