Many Uses for the Empty Hands
May Be Found If Women VIII
Look for Them.

What shall a woman do with her
hands, now that she has no further
use for a muff? Shall she carry a
handbag, or shall she run the risk of
feeling awkward and nervous through
not knowing just what to do with
them? Many women who are not ordi-
narily affected by trifles are some
times irritated by this little problem.
One young woman solves it by be-
coming student. She is seen for the
first few weeks of mild weather carry
which is not heavy. but finds use for
the empty hands. At first a book is
used. Then she changes to a lighter
book, then to a magazine, and lastly to
the newspaper. In the meantime she
has been learning to carry handbag
in the hand, and not slipped over the
arm, as is generally done by those
who have carried a muff.
Another woman carries bag con-
tanning embroidery, while third is
never seen without an embroidery bag
or basket These articles are not
heavy, nor cumbersome, but are useful
for the purpose to which they are put.
1t is always at this time that women
feel shabby, even though they may
have on practically new clothes, and
all long for the seasons change of
dress. The bright new bags, or books,
servo to modify this dissatisfaction.
and women who carry such things go
along in buoyant manner, apparently
| free from care. There are many new
artistic handbags which can be made
inexpensively and changed to CORE
spond with the costume and which
could be used in this way.

front girdle is In one with the front
sections of the bodice, and is finished

The fancy for metal embroideries
came into being more than year
ago. and 1t has strengthened as the
months have passed. The decoration
is now favorite one on many OF the
high grade tailored suits of silk,
Costumers account for the fancy for
embroideries as trimmings by the fact
that the war has discouraged the de-
velopment of novelty fabrics and
trimmings, so that to Offset the condi-
ton and do away with the possibility
of dearth of decoration hand en-
broidery was given a place at the
head of the procession.

needle the fancy for hand-embroid-
cred frocks need not appall her. but
II she must depend upon someone else
to apply the stitches she must ex-
pect to pay well for them. Manufac-
turers say that because Of the demand
for hand embroidery as trimming
ready-to-wear garments have gone up
In price. as this class OF work must
necessarily be slow and skilled needle
women command high wages.
Hand embroidery and fabric com
binations play very important part
in making this seasons costume a
smart one.
