"I hope said Mrs. Heron, that chill

which destroy the lives of birds who

/ "Let's hope so,' said Mrs. Heron.
'That is the end of the story" said
Daddy. 'That was their little talk"
"Oh, Daddy" said Nancy, 'rve made

premise to never wear the feathers of
birds such as the herons or the birds
of paradise or any other feathers where
the birds have to be killed. Well wear
J ostrich feathers and plumes which
come out naturally.
"And I'm going to get any number OF

Miser,s Purse With Steel Beads.

with beads is exceedingly smart this
season. Women who never thought
that they would have the patience to
attempt them are making beaded bags.
Two pretty novelties are shown here.
One is a large affair in blue and tan
beads sewed on in tiny squares. The
handle is entirely of blue beads. Each
square measures one-fourth inch high
by one-half. inch wide and each square
requires from 80 to 36 beads.
Many of the handsomest bags are
so expensive that it is far more eco
homical to make them at home. To
develop a design in the beads these
may be sewed singly, a back stitch
taken with each bead. Another way
is to string the beads on a strong
thread, then couch down the string
| taking stitches between the beads
Either method may be used with salts
faction and frequently the sewer imag
ines that she is making better prog
ress if she strings the beads before
sewing them onto the frame.
Miser's purses are very FASHIONABLE
this year, and some beautiful designs
are shown. The one illustrated is mad
of black silk tricolette embroidered il
steel beads. One can work out mum
ber of delightful color schemes wit
these bags.
