wider) satin ribbon OF irstNcrass qual
ity is required to make the hanger
the rosettes and pendant ends which
decorate the bag at each side.
| In shades of purple, lavender and
/ light green, with a touch of white, the
second bag is also made OF three strips
of ribbon. machine stitched together
The brocaded strip shows a pale gray
ground with white border and o
blurred design of flower petals and
foliage In heliotrope, lavender and
green.
The bottom of the bag is made OF
dish OF cardboard covered with the
figured ribbon. 1t is FIVE inches in df
ameter. The length OF ribbon made OF
three strips (two plain and one hg
ured) runs around the bag, and the
edge of one strip is gathered to the
covered dish. At the top of the bag
a two-inch hems with parallel rows OF
stitching, to form casing, accommo
dates small length OF round elastic.
This forms the mouth of the bag.
Heavy satin ribbon an inch wide,
in the same shade as that of the plain
satin ribbon in the bag, is used for
the hangers or handles. Narrower sat
in ribbon in the same color and shade,
provides the rosettes at the side. This
is a lovely opera bag, suitable, too, to
be worn with a visiting gown. II is
less expensive than bags in which
brocaded ribbons are used. for the fig
ured ribbon may be either printed or
"woyen-in" design.
The third bag Is splendid bit OF
finery In which plain gold-colored sat
in ribbon and a narrow gold brocade
(showing a surface almost entirely OF
metal threads) are combined to make
an opera bag. Tho cord Is of gold col
ored satin-covered cable cord, and
might be effectively replaced with the
regular metallic cords which arc shown
for this and similar purposes.
The narrow brocaded ribbon is cut
in the required lengths (enough for
both sides Of the bag), and Joined BY
pipings OF the plain gold colored satin.
A bottom for the bag Is made by GOV
ering an oblong piece of cardboard
about two and a quarter inches wide
with the plain ribbon. A mirror in
serted here adds to the attractiveness
of the bag.
Both top and bottom of the bag are
bound with the brocaded ribbon, ma
chine stitched to place. Machine
stitching is n factor in the shaDelineSS
of these bags. The covered bottom is
finally sewed in and the cord hangers
sewed to position.
This is one of the most fascinating
of the new designs, any one of which
will make a beautiful gift for Christ
mas time.

OUGHT TO BE OF BENEFIT
Otherwise There 10 No Excuse for the
Publication Of the Tolstol
Letters.

Word comes from ST. Petersburg
that the widow of the late Count Tol.
stoi has published more than 600 let.
tiers written tn her by her late hus.
band. The letters begin with the pro.
posal OF marriage, and cover the
period OF betrothal of the count and
the countess and many years of their
welded life The countess in her
preface says that 1t is her desire ia
give all that cherish her husbands
memory access to what was dearest to
him in life. Nine letters are with
held, three because they concern liv'
ing persons and the last six he wrote
because the countess thinks that the
time to publish them has not arrived.
II 10 very rare, we believe. that let
tiers of distinguished persons have
been published to the world In this
manner. AS a rule, women are toe
sensitive to make public the most In
innate affairs in their lives. Only a
little while ago the world and his
wife were shocked at the publication
of the love letters Of Robert Brown
ing and Elizabeth Barrett Browning
1t seemed as IL it were little less than
sacrilege to expose the intimate love.
life OF the two poets. Browning. We
know, was the most sensitive Of men.

opportunity to make money evidently
was too great a temptation to the
heirs, and so the love story of the two
poets was given to the world But the
Countess Tolstol has not even the ex,
cuse of needing money. Yet unques'
tionably she is actuated by what she
believes to be high motives in publish
ing her husbands letters. AS it is i'm.
possible to criticise her action while
in ignorance Of the contents of the
epistles, we may assume that there is
something in the letters of value to
the world. Assuredly she would never
have consented to publishing mere
love letters and epistles having to do
with affairs of no interest to anyone
outside the immediate family.

Monday Is banking day. All de-

the teacher sits with cash memo

The teacher acting as receiving teller
credits the deposit on the cash memo

A little girl was walking along the
street with her brother, when she saw
a one-arr1ed man. 1t was the fret
time in her life that she had ever
seen a man without an arm. and she

mother explained, in answer to her
questions, that the man had probably
met with an accident of some kind and
that his arm would never grow back
