carry a bag that h sees duplicated
in the hands of another woman. Some
of the most expensive bags are artis-
tic creations as individual as oil paint
ings. for only n of the kind may be
plicates. Bags of this type, shown
usually at high class jewellers and at
speciality shops, are. of course, very
expensive, but there seems to be plen-
ty of market for them. Just now the
bag de luxe-the bag carried on most
special occasions and with very special
costumes-is the beaded bag; and, Of
opportunity for individuality and for
originality of design. There aredozens
of shapes and patterns andTthe c2m-
.binations Of color are innumerabE.
Five handsome new beaded reticules
are pictured; tho single exception to
the beaded design being n bag
which is of silk with a pattern in silk
embroidery. This bag is also new and
is a later Interpretation of the Paris
bag mode. 1t is made of black faille
silk and the embroidery is in brilliant
yet soft colors-an early Victorian
suggestion that is creeping back into
dress in various ways. The pouch
shaped beaded bag is very smart in
color scheme. The edge Of the bag
has a border in white beads with a
pattern in black beads and the fringe
combines black and white beads. The
border encloses an eight-sided central
motif with a black bead ground and
large white flower. The smaller em-
%broidcries in the pattern are in white,
black and steel beads. This bag has
a silver frame and chain.
The shield shaped bag owes its dis
tinction to its coloring-a deep rich
blue combined with steel. and q rose
embroidered with pink beads adds a
dainty color note. The rose is shrimp

The Handbag an
Important Detail

From being an almost insignificant
item of the complete costume. the
handbag has advanced to such a
prominent position in the wardrobe
that it is one Of the most conspicuous
features of the dress. 1t is considered
now as a dress adjunct rather than an
accessory Of utilitarian character. Far
better carry no handbag at all, and
stow your belongings away in pock-
cts, than to carry Il bag that will jar,
upon the complete harmony of your
costume. or strike a clashing note
with any part of lit.
This exceeding Importance Of the
handbag means, of course, many.
handbags for many costumes. NO

with it's own particular reticule which

match every gown: indeed. some OF
the French Couturiers furnish such

completed costume as an indispens-
able detail. But less monotonous

Stage Fashions For

Little mirrors OF normal child life
today are tho youngsters who AXE
part in modern OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
natural Riddles who act as though
they were moving and speaking in
real life, not in the artificial life Of Il

themselves into The bargain.
One of the most adorable of the
winter stage children is little Lorna

Fashion Follows In
Woman's Footsteps

1T is not difficult to read something
of the habits Of the woman of today
from her clothes. If she is fond OF
sports and drives her own car, she
viii choose a type Of clothes that is
suitable for these anlusements, If
she spends her morning hours in the
garden and her afternoons entertain
ing her friends at tea, then again one
is sure TO know it by her clothes. 1t
has 'oecomc a we'll known fact that
fashion follows rcligiously in the
footsteps of the habits and fancies of
m This is true in England and
in France, also, but it is particularly
evident in the clothes of American
women. A few years ago, the Ameri-
can woman spent her entire summer
day in country or sports clothes, but
this season she is more likely to
change her morning dress after ner
afternoon nap and appear at tea
time in a simple frock of dainty ma
terial with light shoes and stockings
and, possibly, a large shade hat. The
wearing of a dainty gown such as
these is 4 charming habit to acquire,
and the gown need not be for after
noon wear alone, but may be worn
for informal dinners as well.

Rainbow Assortment OF
Blouses Is Attractive

Promis emily displayed in the art
needlework department Of one OF
New York's most interesting shops IS
a rainbow assortment of dainty
blouses in many pastel shades or
handkerchief linen. At the first
glance, they resemble the :smocks
with which every one is familiar, but
a closer examination proves then to
be cut somewhat shorter, in order
to be practicable when worn either
inside or outside the belt. Instead of
the usual shocking for decoration,
they are effectively embroidered in
the cross-stitch. which is now SO
hues of mercerized cotton. These
blouses. are prettiest when cut
simply, with a v neck and turn-back
collar of the linen. The sleeves,
which are quite loose, are set in large
armholes to conform with the flare
of the blouse, are, gathered in snugly
at the wrists and finished with a mar
row, rather full ruffle, which falls
| over the hands.

RIGHT KIND OF CORN

Where Plant ls Immature, Not Well

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The feeding worth and palatability
of good silage depends on the quality
of the corn and the period of maturity
at which it is cut. Where the corn is
cut when it is immature, not we'll
glazed and dented, and still in its
Juvenile stage, it makes washy. low
quality. acid-forming silage which Is
likely to sour. On the other hand corn
harvested when it is well dented and
at the proper degree of ripeness for
best use as silage, gives winter feed
which is one of the best producers OF
milk and meat. Corn should be al
lowed to pass we'll through the milk
stage and become thoroughly dented
before being sliced. Investigations
have demonstrated that it is much
preferable, for silage of the best quail
ity, to have the corn little overripe
rather than underripe.

ticularly dairymen, are accustomed 10
