handle may be slipped. Frames of a similar sort may be had in black and white combination, and these are real ly striking with black silk or velvet as the fabric froms which they are made.
 Another sort of frame consists of two whalebones as wide as the top of the bag. The fabric is sf1irred to these bones, and then they are covered with a bias band of silk. They spring open, of course, when you wish to get into the bag.
 If desired, a couple of ball and soc- ket fasteners may be used for greater security. And cords for handles fin ish this bag. Silk cord in many col- ors and different thicknesses may be bought by the yard, and this is the most satisfactory handle. It is also possible to get gilt and silver cords, and with velvet bags especially these are attractive.
 Tassels are sometimes used to finish the bottoms of the bags Probably the newest tassel is the one trimmed with the little colored wooden beads strung on the silk strands of the tassel.
 The colors usually crude in green, blue, yellow and red-are nevertheless interesting against the black or blue

So changed the tan suit for three piece model of black satin. The mo- ment Mrs. Payton saw this model she smiled her approval. The frock was severely plain. The only suggestion of trimming intro duced being vestee of white satin with an Eton collar which rolled over the short jacket. The skirt was ex- tremeBy narrow and slightly draped. The jacket was of the pony type, with long, wide sleeves Touches of white satin ornamented the front, which op- ened to disclose the white satin ves- tee of the frock.
 How do you think this model would look on me?" asked Mrs. Payton.
 'ENot so we'll as another suit of the same character, which I'll pot on next. You're too tall and slender to wear such a narrow skirt l When I appeared in the third suit, a. three-piece model of French blue cloth, Mrs Payton was completely charmed with it. Why that's almost like the costume grandmother wore in one of her pie lures taken during the Civil War!" she exclaimed
 
 '"The suit has an -tfmey air that will be decidedly becoming to you,' answered Madame. Then she proceed ed to explain wherein Mrs. Payton would make no mistake to choose it, concluding with: And now we'll have Claire get the little old-fashion- ed hat which was designed for this suit"
 Mrs Payton looked very lovely in the tip-ttlted, early Victorian hat. It was of black Milan trimmed with a French blue ostrich plume. The feath- CT curled about the crown, and the ends fe1 gracefully against the hair at the back.
 There's nothing can suggest that would improve that costume" said Madame.
 Mrs Payton was delighted. ''Its alb- solute1y charming!' she declared.

They will all walk Cap tains Mrs. H. w. Fleck and Mrs. Jen- nie Cenicola, representing the Minute Women attending the joint meeting of all of the sub committees and the City Memorial Day committee met at city hall last evening and agreed to assist in the arrangements. It is estimated that 1,500 women will march in the parade. \
 The Boy Scouts are expected to turn turn out 1000 strong. besides scouts marching, there will be large num- Der to assist the veterans in the limo of march. It was voted at the meet ing last night to hire another drum corps.
 The members of the Spanish War Veterans will be on hand strong, &C., cording to the report of the commit tee of that organization. All ar engagements have been made by that body to take part.

MARTHA BRATTON.

Martha Bratton was native of Rowan county, North Carolina. Her husband, William Bratton of South Carolina, was a colonel in the Ameri- can army during the Revolution. While he was engaged with his troops away from home, Mrs. Bratton was often left to defend herself and the stores entrusted to her charge. At one time she blew up the ammunition left in her charge, when she saw that otherwise it would fall into the hands of the enemy. At another time she was threatened with instant death by a British soldier if she persisted in refusing to divu1ge the whereabouts of her husband. She was saved by the intervention of Q British officer, and repaid her obligation by saving him when he was taken prisoner by the American force. She entertained him at her house until he was ex- changed. Martha Bratton died in 1S16. eIlzsggs7 n .1-s77EE I1lE5E

GREAT VOGUE FOR HANDBAGS AT
 PRESENT.

Surely we are in the midst of a great vogue for handbags. We see them not only overrunning the coun- ters of all the shops, but we see them in the hands of every smart woman. No woman who dresses well nowadays blinks at the importance in her com plete costume of the handbag she car ries.
 It is not, of course, true that we must have handbag for each frock; but still we must have several hand bags. And as a plea for the saving of leather is onincident with a fashion for handbags of silk, satin and vel vet, any woman clever w1Eh the needle may fashion her own bags, and so in crease the number that she may have for a given expenditure.
 There are two general ways of nak- ing handbags: One is with a draw string top; the other is with 8, frame of some sort. on which the fabric of the bag is hung.
 The shops sell now many tops to which the bags may be easily attach ed. There are rings of various sorts and sizes, from the small rings of sil- yer, just large enough to slip easily over the hand, to the very large rings of bone or tortise, that are almost large enough for knitcng bags. And according to the size of the ring may the fabric be chosen. A heavy but soft brocade may be used with the small silver rings and a velvet witl the larger ones.
 l Then the shops sell frames of irnita- ton tortoise. These may be had fol
 as little as 8. They are fitted witt lrings through which a cord or ribbon

are no really formal social affairs any more, so one finds little use for elegant evening gowns. Tell me about your tailored suits.''
 They're smarter than ever," Ma dame replied. Wed better ask Claire to try them on. You'll get a more sat isfactory idea of them" Then, turn ing to me, she continued; 'T think Mrs. Payton might like any of the three models which we agreed were the best looking"
 And, like an obedient manikin, I first appeared before Mrs. Payton in the simplest suit of the three. It was a. model of tan, tricotine with straight, trim lines. The loose jacket was made with a rounded yoke and a broad, rolled back collar. Long slot pockets, piped with red tricotin, and red silk buttons with corresponding loops re- heved the plainness of the coat. Al narrow belt confined the fitness slightly at the normal waistline.
 The skirt was pleated across the sides and back with wide panel front.
 Mrs. Bobby loked at the suit as Madame pointed out its good features.
 Its too youthful and smart, but I want something a bit more dressy,'' she said.

In the early days of the civil war Julia Ward Howe with 8 party of friends visited Washington. One day they went out to see a review of the federal troops, but the parade ended prematurely, for ! suddenly there came a rumor that the enemy was approaching.
 On the way back to their quarters Mrs. Howe and her friends were thrilled by the martial songs which the soldiers sang, until some one struck up John Browns Body" This was one of the most popular war songs of the period, but James Free man Clarke, who was with Mrs. Howe at the time, said casually:
 "Why don't you write some. new words to that tuner"
 The thought appealed to Mrs. Howe. She wasted no time, but set herself to the task that very night. She seemed inspired, for the words came to her easily, and the next morning she sat down and finished the entire Battle Hymn OF the Re public.'
 The poem easily fitted the air of "John Browns Body and it imme- diately attained tremendous popular ity. It was sung by soldiers and by men in prison, in churches, in sing ing societies, and was called by some '"The American Marseillaise." Mrs. Howe sprang into fame, and for the 50 years afterward, until her death, she was asked to read it every time she appeared in public. It has been praised as the most majestic of our national hymns, and although it nev- CT enjoyed the enormous popularity of Francis Scott Keys ''The Star Spangled Banner" it is still sung and remembered as one of the greatest American songs ever written. Now, the curious circumstance con- nected with it is that Mrs. Howe was not a writer. of reputation. It is true that she had written a little occasion ally. There were a few verses to her credit, and it is said that she wrote classic play in blank verse for Ed win Booth and Charlotte Cushman, but this play was never staged. Mrs. Howe was a woman of rare intellectual attainments. She occu- pied herself with many public move ments of the day-woman suffrage, anti-slavery, international arbitration and others. She was affiliated with so many clubs that she was ire quent1y referred to as the Queen of
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-16

Edwin Booth, writers and other pulp, lic-spirited personages.
 To the inspiration of such surround, ings, perhaps, as well as her own zeal for stirring achievement, Mrs Howe owed the immortal hymn. hi is the one thing she ever wrote that has survived, for the occasional other bits or drama or verse that she pen-i ned have long since been forgotten. But this one work stands out as a. big, worthwhile achievement in a long life that was singu1arly useful in many other ways. Mrs. Howe died at the age of 91, but at the age 90 she was still working actively on committees speaking before legislatures, and reading the Battle Hymn of the Re- public at meetings which she ad- dressed.

Children's knit underwaists are all ways stretching out of shape around the neck and armholes.

POPULAR VESTS.

The vest motif seems unavoidable this spring-at least no blouse seems to have been able to get away from it. Some blouses have vests as broad as waistcoats; in other models the vest is mere inch wide line of contrasting fabric down the center front, and, of course, this contrasting fabric is apt to appear in collar and cuffs.
