as we can see without any special rea-
son Ii is as profitable to speculate
why tile chlor"phyll of vegetation Is

The Wilderness of the snow Is under

CRETONNE BAGS
FOR KNITTING
They Are Easy To Make And M">t
Convenient in These Days of war
Work.

Since knitting has become such
craze, and one might add almost
necessity. fashion has brought forth
a most delightful array or cretonne,
or chintz bags in which TO carry enc
work" Everywhere girls are knit
ting, in rolling chairs, on railroad
trains and even on motor trips. 1t
is no longer a novelty to see the tour
list with her knitting.
When such noble work is beng
carried on one can scarcely blame
girls for being a bit frivolous in the
matter Of knitting bags. These love
Iv bags differ from ordinary sewing
bags in that they must be SufhclentIy
large to accommodate the long KNIT
ting needles without appearing aWk-
! ward
! One clever bag was designed by
( girl OF ingenious mind. 1t was faSh-
toned of the Ioveiiest blue-bird ere
! tonne and decorated with old-blue
/ ribbon. The bottom OF the bag was
/ OF stiff cardboard and cut IN an oval
shape. a little longer than the knit
/ ting needles. II was then covered
! in cretonne on one side. TO do TINS
/ lay the oval pattern on the materlal
and cut, leaving margin OF about
an inch. Fold the material over the
cardboard and catch with big stitches
! back and forth
The upper part of the bag consists
! OF two pieces of material scanned to
I gether and shirred into the oval bot
tom. The top is finished by casing
4 and frill run through with ribbon
drawstring Now the bag Is almost
complete Again make an oval eN-
actly like the bottom. Turn the bag
inside out and stitch the second GOV
cred oval TO the bottom. the two I'M
finished sides facing each other. In
This way the bag will have neat
finish both inside and out.
Another smart bag. little more
difficult TO make, has an oval box at
the bottom very much like glove
box. This is to hold the needles. OF
course. it should be very light weight
and covered in cretonne. There are
50 many wonderful patterns and col
ors that il is difficult to choose.
So lovely and irresistible are these
models that many women are tempt
ed 70 do knitting in order 10 carry
one of these bags And they are SO
wonderfully cheap TO make, quite III
keeping with wartime economy
Generally a yard and a half of thIr-
ty-SiX inch cretonne is sufficient.
