BAG MATCHES HAT
This Is the Last Word in Fashion
for the Shopper.
Handsome Affairs Of Velvet, silk, Sat
In and Metal Broeades Have Re-
placed Those Of cretonne.

We started with lovely cretonne
knitting bags, blooming with roses and
chrysanthemums, others made gay
with gorgeously colored birds and but
terflles. These were shirred and rib
bon-trimmed and often had clusters of
silk fruit as the finishing touch.
But these cretonne bags, attractive
es they were, have quite faded into the
background, making way for the more
handsome affairs of velvet, silk, sat
ins and wonderful metal brOcades,

News. Nor are they confined to knit
ting only. The knitting part is sec
Ondary. They are the most convent
ent and smart shopping bags one can
Imagine and the most troublesome Of
bundles disappear like magic into their
vast depths.
The last word In fashion is the shop
ping bag with hat to match. The
sketch shows an example Of these. A
huge shopping bag was developed in
metal brocade, done in gold and black,
was made on the order Of a huge
purse. The wide opening bound with

"Never mind said Agnes, Il knew
you were busy"
Dora followed her sister down
stairs, thinking she would put the
rooms in order and feed the canary
before Agnes returned. But to her
surprise, the parIor and sitting room
were busted, Dick was eating fresh
seed with great relish, and it was ten
o'clock. How long Il time she had
spent over those resolutions!
After making Baby Fred happy with
a big block house, Dora slipped up
stairs and brought down her paper Of
New Years Resolutions" and quietly
laid 1t on the parlor fire.

slip-on sack of pale silk Jersey was
outlined at the neck, sleeves and at
the hem with ruching of narrow
pink ribbon of the same shade. At the
throat there was a knot of the ribbon
with long ends which fell down the
garment front.
Striped ribbons serve excellently for
trimming. An example is an indoor
gown made with large capelike effect
formed entirely of wide Roman striped
ribbon. The cape of ribbon is drawn
into high girdle also of ribbon which
is folded around the waist the second
time and knotted loosely at the right
side. The ends fall to the skirt hem.
There is an endless variety in neck
wear made from ribbon, but the most
popular form is a bit Of soft pliable
ribbon drawn around the neck under
a turn-down collar of linen or silk.
and knotted loosely at the throat.
Often the ribbon is finished at the
throat with loops or a rosette.

A PracticaI Dress.

The One-piece gown of serge or ga
bardine must not be forgotten in the
winter wardrobe. 1t is needed for
everyday wear as house dress, or
to go under the long coat. Made on
the popular long lines that suit the
young girl and the older woman such
gown can be quite without trimming
other than a few fancy buttons, and
the necessary white collar. A broad
boX-pait at either side of the front
and back runs under the wide belt and
gives a graceful width in walking that
does not interfere with the straight
line appearance Of the dress. Big, out
sta"ding pockets cut in diamond shape
give character to the skirt portion.
They start from under the belt.

MAKE NEW PURSE FROM OLD
Handbags May Be Easily Transformed
Into Latest Fashion With Little
Effort and Slight Expense.

Have you any old purses?
If you have, did you realize that
you could easily transform them into
new purses?
You can, without much expense and
without much trouble.
To begin with, get paper pattern
for making a handbag. Then get your
material.
The old handbag is used merely as
a foundation for the new one. That
is, the old clasp is requisitiOned-with
the rest of the old frame. A new COW
ering is made of the new material,
and this is slipped over the old frame
and fastened securely. If you wish to,
you may simply cover the old purse
with an envelopelike section of the
new material. Or else you may fasten
a lining bag to the old frame as big
or as little as you please, and put
the new outside over that.
If you have a bit of velvet left
from velvet frock, buy a pattern for

Goats or Canes for EvenInn.

In evening wraps there is choice
between the cape and the loose coat.
Canes are attractive when they are
well put on, and they have the ad-
vantage of being simple and easy to
make, but there is more genuine
warmth to be found in coat. Broad
cloth, satin, silk, brOcade and velvet
are favorites and suitable materials,
with q lining of either brocade or
plain satin. But the lining must al
ways be Of good quality, for it is the
lining that gets the wear. There is no
economy in a cheap lining. If the lin

Many Shops and Modern Homes.

Many of the latter are decorated by

ANTIQUE TINTS IN RIBBONS
OId.Fashioned Hues Are Being Effec-
lively Used, Affording Natty Ad-
dton to Dressy Gowns.

Ribbon plays an important part in
dress trimmings, accessories, ETC., and
never have they been more beautiful
than they are this year. Many are
interviewer with gold and silver, and
some are formed almost entirely of
dull gold or silver tissue. There are
ribbons of satin with paisley spots in
old-fashioned tints, and pale taffeta
ribbons in rose, mauve and natter
blue, over which are sprinllled at in
tervals ''lucky" ladybirds brocaded in
dull gold or silver.
Striped or checked faille ribbons are
extremely fashionable, and among the
novelties are ribbons with long weaved
fringe at the ends.
Various are the ways in which these
ribbons are utilized for frock trim
mings. They are introduced in the
form Of inset bands, plated, shirred
or plain, and sometimes as frillings
or ruchings,

The crown was soft and made of

very striking, worn with French blue

Old Year Adieu.

Old Father Time, with vlsage
grim,
Marks finis on another year;
His harvest he has gathered in;
The swath was wide both far
and near.
The strife of battle RACES round
The ranks of fighters in the
van,
But cIashing arms and shouts
resound
Of victor and of conquered
man.
The aged sire, with trembling
hands
And hoary lock of siIvery
white,
Perceives the passing of the
sands,
The sunsets glow, the clouds
of night.
Mayhap there is a vacant chair
At home, but recently re-
signed
A loved one gone above to wear
The crown of bliss by angels

With roses strewn about the

But hope and strive by word
and deed
Some soul TO cheer. The New
