Dainty Conceits
In New Fashions
(By Margaret MasOn.)

That is very new.
Hanging from her pretty arm
Moire, navy blue.
Money talks, it's full of it
Yet it's not too loud
Can you blame Sweet Phyllis then
That she's quit purse proud?
New York, Oct. 3.-1f Lucy Lock
EFT had lost per pocket book today
and Sally Fisher had found it l douot
very much if Lucy would ever have
seen it again, so delectable are the
many conceits in the purse line now
tempting feminity.
The pouch bag is the favorite of the
moment and its name is adequate de-
scription. 1t comes in pin seal, NOR
rocco or navy blue and black moire.
1t is mounted on gilt frame and
lined with white satin and an inch
wide gros-grain ribbon swings it
from it's proud possessor's arm. Some
of them boast tiny mirror so at
tached that it pops up obligingly like
jack in the box when the bag is
opened. This is almost equal to let
ting the cat out of the bag. Yes
Others are well stocked with all tn.
appurtenances of the first aids ta
beauty. They seem to lack only an
electric vibrator to set up complete
beauty shop at short notice. Many OF
the bags have Lilliputian watches set
in one side and some have their pouch
ends finished with a smart silk tas-
sci.
A charmingly quaint bag of taffeta,
faille or MORE comes in black or dark
blue embroidered at intervals with gay
little nosegays of colored silk flow
ers. They also swing from inch wide
grosgrain ribbons with tiny jeweled
slides and the metal clasps that hold
tight their treasurer trove are gaily
jeweled also. Beaded bags are smart
again. Elaborate designs in steel,
bronze or jet beads are being picked
out on moire backgrounds. MORE
pouches with monograms traced N
the beads are very lovely.
For wear with the new plain black
velvet hats whose only trimming Is
a single feather, alluring hat pins
have come to a head. Neither as
large nor as ornate as the atrocities
of former years, they are artistic and
conservative in their form and color
ing. Flat ovals and disks of solid
enamel sometimes cenUered with
pearl vie with oblong and round crys-
tai headed pins for milady's favor.
Tiny jeweled hairpins for catching
vour veil close to your hair at the
sides come in an endless variety OF
designs and combinations. The velts
they catch of finest mesh with elat-
crate borders of lace tracery are III
deed beauty enhancers. Lovely woman
should arise and take them to her
heart and face after the horrible lace
figured wells of last season whose
sprawling designs made the fairest
cheek appear disfgured with repuls-
i've birthmarks.
In taupe silk mesh or flesh and
white the new veilings are partic"-
larly becoming.
Since fair mads and matrons insist
on Gaping themselves abroad as we'll
as at home, cap designers have been
mt to much ado for original effects
They have sought to arrest the caps
from the fair heads of all nations and
now have even invaded the cloister
to emerge with nuns head-dress
that proves as lovely on a sinner AS
on a saint Evolved of heavy Vene-
tian lace, it bands the head low on
the forehead and over the crown OF the
head close down around under the
chin with such realistic nun-lke Ell
feet that one is tempted to advise
the demurely coifed wearer to Get
thee to a nunnery," instead OF to the
theater where such head-dresses now
highly shine. Directly opposite IN It's
appeal and effect is the seductive tur'
han of tule which twists around the
modern houri's head, leaving her
crown of hair au naturelle. A dainty
ieweled lattice cap la Juliet has a
ouivering ieweled butterfly poised III
front and close fitting little Dutch
can of white lace with wired lace
wings jutting out over the ears IS
pretty enough for a duchess. Caps
are certainly written in capitals this
season.
Taking it from top to toe the new
est high shoes are buttoned, with
lowers of patent or dull gunmetal kid
and uppers of suiting to match yo9r
tailor made. For dress the low shoes
of bronze and patent leather. still
cling to their sparkling buckles and
