Shopping bags and work bags have
become indispensable now that women
are busying themselves about so many
things, and especially since they are
making II rule to carry small par
GELS for themselves. Already the shops
are beginning to place new ones on
display, anticipating the holidays that
always bring tremendous demand
for bags of all kinds. This years
business IL expecting demand for
bags and for the materials of which
they are made. that will exceed all
previous records. For the mood Of
the public favors useful gifts ut holl-
day time and the bag holds first place
among them.
1t Is In new mountings and trim
mings that the new bags differ from
those of last year. Metal and
cellulold divide honors in frames and
mountings for both shopping and work
bags. Work bags are a tritie smaller
than they were-or those made Of rib
bon and silk are. Many very practi-
cal bags are made OF cretohne and
lined with sateen and those intended
for daily service In oil kinds of wealth
er find a light weight black oilcloth
the best Of material.
In the picture the shopping bag at
the left is made Of plain satin and rib
bon brOcade and Is mounted on a sill
YER frame with silver handle. 1t is
finished with silver tassel. None of
