COMBINATION BAG AND MUFF
Idea Evolved by Clever Woman 10
Well Worth Being Copied and 10
Easy to Carry Out.

Starting out on shopping expedi.
ton. one woman said to her friend:
aren't you going to carry your hand
bag?" NO." replied the other, Il
have made bag in my muff, and 1t Is
much more convenient than carrying
an extra one this cold weather, and
the muff answers the purpose Of both
muff and bag"
She handed the muff to her compan.
ion for inspection, says the Christian
Science Monitor. In 1t were two bags
or pockets. The first was large, being
about two-thirds the size OF one side
of the muff, and in this were slipped
small packages, letters or anything
of the kind that it was necessary to
carry, and a large button securely
fastened the lap which prevented any
thing from slipping out.
On the outside of this large pocket
was a small one for holding a little
pocketbook and keys. This was also
fastened with large button and but
tonhole, so that the contents of the
! pocket were secure andt this saved the
carving Of handbag, which was a
great convenience and enabled the
owner Of the muff to keep both hands
protected.

similar order. Sew ring to the top
of the ribbons when they are put to-
gether.
The holder Is now ready to receive
the safety-pins. four different sizes
can be hung The top ribbon should
have the smallest size. and the largest
ribbon the largest.
The holder can be hung up by the
ring at the top; it will be found most
useful on the dressing-table glass.
Safety-pins are rather large to put on
the usual pincushion, in any case, it
does not allow of such choice as the
holder The ribbon the holder is made
of, should match or tone with the gen.
eral color scheme of the room for
which it is intended These holders
will be found a valuable addition to
babys basket, and most useful when
on a journey.
