NEW BAGS PRETTY
Attractive Ones Can Be Made at
Home at Small Cost.
Velvet, Fur and Satin Are Popular
Materials as Throughout the
World of Dress.

Bags are more alluring than ever
this year.
The best of them are expensive tri-
fes, but there are others that are at
tractive without being extravagantly
high-prlced, and as is always the case
when drawstring bags are in order,
many woman can make u cookbook
ing bag for herself without spending
much money.
Velvet and fur and. satin are the
popular materials here as throughout
the world of dress, with beautiful bro
cades and other fancy silks to help in
the good work.
For the omnipresent knitting bag of
course all sorts of materials are used,
from rafiia to gold brocade; but the
smaller handbag is less catholic and
less spectacular, though often exceed
ingly original.
The bead bag has lost none of its
vogue and appears in delightful
shapes, colorings and designs, one tone
colorings being perhaps first choice
this season.
A handsome brocade silk with the

effective bag and one that calls for no
great skill or labor on the part of the
maker. Black or dark blue brocade,
outlined in gold, silver or stele, is eff
fective, and color schemes to match
any costume are easily worked out. A
rather long narrow drawstring shape
with bead tassels across the bottom to
match the bpndinp of the brocade is
good-looking for this type of bag.
Beads are used to relieve fur, too,
and very clever things are done with
this combination. One model in seal
is fiat, rather small, mounted on dull
gold and has a butterfly embroidered
in tiny gold beads on its side.
A muff bag of fur with turned
back flaps at the ends has each flap
finished by bead tassel and half

NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS
Special Holder, Made From Embroid-
cry Ring, viii Preserve Shape
of Garments.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat
er away on a coat hanger for a cou
pie of days? If you have, you have
probably found it stretched most dis
tressingly when you took it down
again. So then, have you hung it,
ever so carefully, up on hook?
Yes? Then, of course, you have
found a most annoying little bump in
the wool where it hung.
So then, perhaps, you have decided
to keep your sweaters in a bureau
tlrawer-and you have caught them on
the edge of the drawer and pulled a
thread.
Well, here is suggestion to make
the keeping of your sweaters truly
easy. Have special sweater 'solder.
This special holder is no more than
n huge embroidery ring, of the sort
that is used for the handles and tops
of knitting bags. Attach n ribbon or
tape to the ring at each end, and by
means of this ribbon hang 1t on hook.
Then pull the sweater through the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring to be best fitted for its
work, should be wound with satin rib
bon. The quality need not be ex-
pensive, but the shiny surface of the
satin ribbon makes it easier to pull
the sweaters through the ring and
there is no possibility of tearing by
splinters from the surface of the wood
when it is covered in this way.

When Hair Is Dry.

While oily hair is not at all beauti-
full it is usually much healthier and
thicker than dry, harsh hair. If your
glory crown has started in to be dry
and wispy, it would be wise move to
take it in hand right away and call for
nm immediate reform. Twenty-four
hours before the shampoo rub pure
olive oil into the scalp. You can have
no idea how much help this will give,
md what lovely fluffy gloss it will i'm
part to the hair after the shampoo.
Have this cleansing with egg instead
If SOAP.

A Novel Pincushion.

equally well, providing it is wide
enough.
Find the exact center of this pad,
then take prettily colored narrow
ribbon, and bind it round the center as
in sketch. Secure this band at the
back of the pad with a stitch.
Now, with piece of the same rob-
bon 6 inches in length, make loop
to hang the cushion up by. Sew to the
top of the pad; at the bottom of the
pad sew another similar loop, but first
of all thread on to it bone ring.
The dainty article is now finished.
1t only remains to stick pins of assort-
ed sizes on the pad and to fasten sew
eral safety pins on the bone ring.

THIS PINCUSHION IS USEFUL
1t Also Makes Dainty Decoration to
Be Suspended From the Dress
ing Table.

The pincushion in the sketch makes
dainty decoration suspended from
the dressing table, and will be found
useful, for it holds pins and needles
of all sizes, and also has a ring for
safety pins.
Make n little bag of white sateen
and fill it with sawdust or bran. Use
a piece of material that measures 6

Now cover this bag with Il remnant

kimono means comfort, but not all
of these luxurious robes and coats,
made in these days of extreme style,
are carrying out the meaning of the
word. Some of the garments are built
SO that they make for discomfort, tug
ging, tight and ilI-fitting. A kimono
should be loose-fitting, and the charm
ing affair pictured here Is representa-
tive of what kimono should be. 1t is
made in very delicate shade of pale
crepe, bound at the neck and bottom
with metal cord of red, gold and sill
yer. At intervals translucent white
beads are placed in the edging.

Bags of Fur, Velvet and Beads.

mounting on each side of the bag.
There are many fur bags also with
out the beading, the short hair, supple
furs, such as seal and mole, being
especially liked for this purpose, while
the long-haired furs are used for trim
ming bags of velvet, silk and cloth.

GOT POCKET BOOK
LOST PROPERTY RESTORED BY
AN ADVERTISEMENT.

S. Il. Dyer dropped pocketbcok
containing a considerable amount Of
money and upon discovery of his loss
Immediately FASTENED to the Herald
office to make use of the want column
of the daily paper. A young man
by the name of Charles H. Wolf,
strolling through the Burlington
yards. came upon the property. Moth
ing about the pocketbood indicated
the ownership, but on account of the
unusual amount of currency it con-
tanned, Mr.. Wolf forthwith and
straightway looked up the evening
paper to see if anyone had complains
ed of the loss. And thus through
the medium of small want ad, own
er and property were brought togeth-
er, nor was Mr.. Wolf loser for the
part he played in the little drama.

THE BAND CONCERT
GREAT CROWD AND FINE PRO.
GRAM AT OPENING. a.

The band concert season opened
Saturday evening May 10, with sue
cessful program and a monster crowd.
Many of the old time players contri-
buted to the success of the evening
and everybody from the director, Mr..
Jeannetta to the great audience that
came near filling the park space AMI
surrounding territory. Several of the
pieces drew a big hand notably so the
medley of national patriotic songs.
The old town was cram-jam full OF
people and autos. every available inch
of space was claimed by auto traffic
and it was guess and gamble to
get within hailing distance of the PARK.
Once there one had to stay for the
chances of getting out were remote.
And the jam continued until after ten
O'Clock, after the band had stopped
playing. All business places felt the

accordingly. HninmD aSi.
Both band members and leader are
encouraged at the ovation extended by
