That inseparable companion of wom-
ankind, the shopping bag, is designed
to make itself more indispensable than
ever before. In greater variety of
shapes and styles and in higher grade
of workmanship, it has appeared all
during the summer season, more COM
pletely fitted with feminine require
ments than heretofore. The bag of to-
day is medium in size, varied as to
shape, daintily lined and well made.
1t has been facetiously called little
furnished fiat" and deserves this en-
tightening and playful compliment.
Seal, pin-seal and morocco lead in
point of popularity and also in adapta-
bility to the requirements in an up
todate bag, although other feathers
find numbers of admirers. Among nov
elites for midsummer that have been
promoted by the universal black-and-
white vogue are bags of black patent
leather and white kid in which the
cclors appear in about equal parts ana
others in which white predominates
with trimmings of the brilliant black.
All bags are more or less fitted.

I'VE ought to make it just little hard

even torture him bit--if possible.
The question is, how to do it." She

you're perfectly safe-years go by and
they seem perfectly human and ra-

No woman yet has ever solved the

Rosamund's suavity was perfect as
she looked Carolyn over pragmatical-
ly. Funny you let Hall Bonistelle go
SO far with you, wasn't it! Say, he
must have shocked you awfully!"
Now, see here!" said Carolyn firm

we're in the same boat? Now, you
say you don't want to marry Hall. I'd
like to be sure, though, before go
any further"
''Oh, you needn't worry" cried Rosa
mund, you can have him, so far as
I'm concerned"
Carolyn couldn't keep from smiling
now; Rosamund was too much for her.
"Oh, thank you very much; but have
other plans for him. And we ought to
try to find out what in the world he's
up to-"
DO you suppose it could possibly
be a joker Rosamund asked anx-
iously.
1T looks to me-" said Carolyn, re
fiecting, "as if somebody had slipped
a powder or something into his coffee.
Or, it may be a disease. Incipient in
sanity, perhaps. No doubt he's going
about proposing to everyone today.

Mrs. Royalton, in an almost too

to the two rather excited women al

Things were going very well with
Rena Royalton; she had man in her

five had struck Its warning bell; If she
were going to be mafried again. why
not now? Wasn't Hall Bonistelle
handsome? Wasn't he well born and

and decided to accept him. She en-

intimacies. Carolyn, noticing, intro

The lowest flounce is set on to the
bottom of the short petticoat, the one
above it to the skirt, and the top
flounce is sewed to the top of the belt
so that the skirt may be worn without
a girdle.
The straight-hanging coatee, as re-
vealed by a glance at the picture, Is
practical for wear with other frocks.
The sleeves are rather full and long,
SO that they may slip over other
sleeves easily. There are many taste
full ways of decorating these little
coatees and they are much improved
by trimming. Worn with the skirt
they make suit as smart and attrac-

Fiodie Fisher. his assistant, reminds him

Hall that his Uncle Johns will has LETT

before his twenty eighth birthday, which
begins at midnight that night. Mrs. Rena

her to marry him. She agrees to give
him an answer at the party that night.
Miss Carolyn Dallys calls. Hall proposes
to her. She agrees to give him an an

an immediate marriage: She, too; defers fs
her answer until the evening. Flodie tries
to show Hall certain way out of the

bury, heir to the millions in case Hall
fails to marry on time, plots with Flodie
to block Halls marriage to any Of the

When will you be here? All right
good-by!"
Mrs. Royalton and Rosamund still
sat as if entranced, but Carolyn Dallys
rose impatiently now, and glanced
about, as If in search of an excuse. The
room was tensely charged with cleo
tricity. 1t was evident that in another
minute the explosion must come. But,
first, how to get rid of this important,
busy little Miss Fisher?
Flodie herself answered the un-
voiced question Wasn't she as desir-
GUS as any of them to bring the thing
to a head? Yes; so she must fly and
leave the field of battle clear. Still
smiling, she disappeared into the
stockroom. she left the door aJar.
Mrs. Royalton rose. with a self-con-
scious smile. We'll, Carolyn" she said.
Il suppose I'll have to tell you, now.
It is most unfortunate that Miss Fisher
wasn't more discreet in her conversa-
ton. But so long as she has let the
cat out of the bag, / might as well in
form you that the ring she was talk
ing to Hall about is for this finger!"
She held up her left hand. her thumb
pointing to her third finger.
Carolyn, with a whoop, fell into
Rosamunds arms, and the two laughed
until they cried.
Mrs. Royalton stared as if they had
suddenly gone mad Then she ex
claimed angrily,. I'D like to know what
there is to laugh at! don't see any
thing particularly amusing in the fact
that I'm going to marry Hall Boni-
stelle!''
"Oh, don't you?" Carolyn gurgled.
Miss Gale. do you see anything funny
in it,"
Funny! It's scream!" Rosamund
shouted with mirth. Who'll be the
next one?"
"Oh. the more the merrier!" cried
Carolyn.
Rena Royalton drew herself up
proudly. Il think you're exceedingly
impertinent!" she replied.
Carolyn dried her eyes on lace
handkerchief. "Rena," she said. still
giggling, 4 don't know whether it's too
true to be funny, or too funny to be
true. But you ought to be in on this
joke, really, my dear. 1t will inter
est you strangely"
"Well, don't call it joke. It's an
outraged" cried Rosamund.
"Say, Miss Gale" Carolyn turned
confidentially, "d'you know, we ought
really to form society of the sur
vivors, you know. Rena's the oldest.

II we leave out the consideration of
cotton fabrics, eliminating especially
those in novelty weaves, we shall have
to concede the honors of the season
to taffeta as the favorite fabric OF
fashion. The taffeta one-piece dress,
the taffeta suit and the taffeta coatee
worn with lingerie gowns), appear
and reappear everywhere, and no one
grows tired of seeing them. Now the
earliest models for fall have been
launched, made of cloth and taffeta
combined, so that we may depend up
on a continuance of favor for this at
tractive fabric. The new suits and
frocks are in one color, the silk and
wool exactly matched in shade.
The suit shown in the picture lays
no claim to novelty in design but is
distinguished by being strictly in the
mode, by its attractiveness and use
fulness. For the three TERED skirt
may part company with the coatee
for afternoon wear and join fortunes
with blouse of chiffon or lace or fine
lingerie. 1t is made with high waist
line, and skirts like it are among the
most popular of the ready-to-wear
skirts shown by dry goods stores.
This skirt is made Of knife-plaited
taffeta flounces over short under
