BAGS FOR THE BRIDE
PRESENTS THAT HOUSEKEEPER-
TO-BE WILL APPRECIATE.
Every Kind and Variety May Be Pro-
vided-Good Idea Is to Finish
Articles at Luncheon Given
to Coming Bride.

Bridal showers will soon be in or
der and a bag shower should appeal
to the friends of prospective brides.
One can never have too many bags,
las any new housekeeper will find. In
,he old home bags have gradually &C
eumulated, each being made or bought
as needs called for, so the bride
scarcely thinks of providing herself
with these conveniences. Only when
she finds herself almost without them
does she appreciate their value.
Dust rag bags are needed, also
broom bags, laundry bags. catch-all
bags, bags for pieces, bags for keeping
paper patterns, bags for soiled dish
towels, bags for preserving dresses
hanging in the closet, to say nothing
of bags for shoes, corsets, for toilet
articles and for dainty slippers and
fans. If all these can be provided 1t
viii be seen how helpful they will be
in keeping the new household neat.
The usual procedure is for the Sc
lected hostess to give a luncheon to
the bride-to-be and those of her friends
who wish to contribute to the bag
shower.
The kind of bag each friend will fur
njsh is previously arranged, but the
article will be not fully completed,
The finishing or any slight decoration
may be left. The guests bring sew
ing materials. and after the luncheon
each does her own finishing. This
will bring a merry discussion and
cause lots of fun among girls who are
well acquainted With one another.
The gift from the hostess is always
quite complete before the day appoint
ed and is, of course, D glorified bag.
This is intended for the brides bed
room. into which she can slip almosf
anything. The bag is large and quite
roomy, cut not unlike a pillow slip al
to the foundation, except that thu
lower are rounded off. There
is a deep hem at the top, which in
closes an oval wooden hoop. This at
fords a most convenient opening. Sof

COULDN'T SEE THE sport"
coIored Messenger Evidently Would
Never Make One of a Party
Fishing for Tuna.


At the capitol one day a California
representative was ~discoursing on the
sport of fishing for tuna off the Pacific
coast.
I'VE go out in small motor boats"
said the representative, land fish with
a long line baited with flying fish,
Anything less than a hundred-pound
tuna isn't considered good sport"
Just then a colored messenger. who
had been listening, stepped up.
"'Scuse me, suh," said he, wide
eyed. but did i understand yo' to say
dat yo' went fishin' TO- hundred-poune
fish in a little motah boat?"
YES" said the congressman, with
a smile, I'VE go frequently"
But" urged the darky, "ain't 20

DICTATES. OF FASHION

When coat collars are high they
are usually made SO they will turn
down.
More material and simple lines will
be the important points of the new
frocks.
Both wide and narrow girdles are
correct. and ribbon belts have come
back again.
A good blouse is of black chiffon
over white, with c~orselet, belt and
cuffs of white satin.
Tilted to one side, atop of elaborate
~ piled and curled c~oiffures. are the
fashionable tiny hats.

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS

Hardy bulbs should be planted as

Dealers will not begin sending out

Never take bulbs out of the package
the florist sends them in until you
arc ready to plant them. Do moi
leave them exposed to the light OF
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be
come soft and labby when exposed
to the air, because Of the evaporation
of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark. COO
place until ready to plant.

that capital punishment is deterr-

by men under the influence of drink
who saw red and never gave a
thought of consequences. In the case
of carefully premeditated murders,
the murderer reckoned all the conse-
quences and ignored them.
