The Homemade Bag.

1t you have nimble fingers and a little
time there Is no excuse for not having
attractive bags to go with your summer
frocks. For the smartest and most ex-
pensive bags this year are of the home
| made sort" To be sure, the materials
cost something, but the big item is
hand work. and If you can make
| pastime out of this. so much the better.
j Bead bags are still very fashionable,
put SO expensive that not every woman
feels that she can afford one. She can
| make one herself for the cost of thu
beads. which is not much compared to
the finished bag. The design which can
! be bought from the art needlework shop
or department store is stamped on cross
stitch canvas and then the beads are
seWed on the silk with the canvas over
| 1t in straight lines. Sometimes the bags
| are all beads and sometimes just the
| lower part is made Of beads, while an
inside bag of silk slips within this outer
| part. The strings are sometimes COW
! cred solidly with beads. sometimes are
| merely trimmed with them and are
sometimes made Of silk ribbons.
Indian bags. which are made Of
leather worked with beads, can be
! made at home, and these are extreme
ly smart and perhaps more durable
than those mounted on silk. The In
dian bags are most effective if they
are nn1Sned with q fringe OF BEADS
at the bottom. Sometimes this bead
fringe is almost as long as the bag
itself.
Embroidered bags are less expen-
sive than bead bags and perhaps
easier TO make. If worked in gor-
eeous colors they are indeed resplen-
dent. 1t is nice to make the bags
from leftovers from your silk frocks
with the embroidery to harmonic
with the color used in the dress
Another sort of bead bag is made
by crocheting or knitting silk that
has been strung with beads This is
unquestionably the most lasting sort
Of bead bag, but If any elaborate de-
sign is to be worked or one involving
the use of colored beads Of many sorts
it is extremely difficult as the en-
tire pattern depends on stringing the
beads to begin with according to a
certain formula and then knitting
strictly according to a certain rule.
If one bead is missed in stringing or
one stitch is mistaken then the en-
tire design is thrown out.

brides trousseau. Crepe de chine and
georgette is the favorite combination
for the making of these dainty things,
and satin is also used a great deal
for petticoats and matinees.
A lovely gown is of flesh crepe de
chine, the entire upper part of geor-
gette lavishly trimmed with fine
cream lace. A V neck is edged with
deep frIll of lace and French bow
knots in pastel blue add a finishing
touch.
A combination of flesh georgette is
cleverly made with its scalloped hem
and front panel made of many yards
of val lace and loops of ribbon fasten-
ed with tiny rosebuds. and a petit
coat that would be useful in any
wardrobe is of flesh satin with q
deep f1ounce of rich cream lace trim
med with loops of yellow ribbons
ending in tiny tailor bows
The boudoir gown sketched is a
charming thing Of flesh chiffon and
cream lace. An accordion-pleated
skirt is topped by chiffon Jacket
which Is bordered with q deep founce
of finest cream lace. A graceful
hanging collar Is of crepe dc chine
weighted with white bead tassel.
and the armslits in this cape jack ct
are bound in crepe de chine. With
lis costume is worn a boudoir cap
or white dotted net trimmed with
rows on rows of narrow pink satin
ruffies that also form the tiny brim.

ENGINEERS ARE CHEERFUL
DESPITE SIS BELOW ZERO
Sturdy Americans Working Hard
to Reorganize the Transi-
berian Railroad.

TITSIKAR, Manchuria, May (Cor-
respondent of the Associated Press).
Right at the edge Of the great Mon
golian desert Maj. George H. Tower
of Eauclaire, Wis. and~eleven other
American engineers, have labored
throughout a rigorous winter helping
the Russians run their great Trans
siberian railroad, now disorganized
and sorely in need of American as
sistance. These sturdy men form a
section Of the corps Of workers or
ganized by John F. Stevens. the
American engineer, in an attempt to
reorganize the railroad.
We've had it SIS degrees below
zero here" said Maj. Tower to the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
but we've got used to it. Still, it
Is cold. You can't deny that, and the
nights are pretty long"
The major said he and his associ-
ates had charge OF the railroad sec
tion between Titsikar and Hailar. and
that 147 locomotives were assigned
to their section. They were always
waiting for tho time when they would
be given a bigger opportunity to help
in reorganizing the railroad.
Both Titsikar and Hailar are great
centers for the soya bean industry,
for which Manchuria is famed. Also
the district abounds in cattle.

powder uses a medicinal ingredient
that doctors use to heal the skin. In
fact, this new powder helps to pre-

What Is so rare as bride in June"
might be a suitable paraphrase for
the present time, when trousseaux
are in the making and weddings are
happening every day.
There is something about trousseau-
planning that is Intriguing even to
the most disinterested person, for
brides clothes always seem so much
daintier than the ordinary feminine
trousseau, SO cobwebby and fairylike
that 1t is Joy to look at them. That
IA why women are always so interest.

fore their eyesi The eternal feminine

1t happens to be clothes.
OF course, there must be groom
at the wedding. but who will bother
to look at him with such wedding
dress as this confronting them?

such an odd-looking fellow. He was
little bigger than Welcome Robin.
His tail was short, his legs we're
short, and his neck was short. But
his bill was long enough to make
up. His back was a mixture of gray,
brown, black and buff. while his
breast and under parts were of a
beautiful reddish buff. It was his
head that made him look queer. His
eyes were very big and SO far back
that Peter wondered if it wasn't
easier for him to look behind him
rather than in front of him.

New York. March 24--Postmaster
General Burleson's action in dismiss

Company was characterized by Mr..
Mackay as "despotic and brutal" In
a statement issued here tonight on
his return from Baltimore, where he
was when the dismissal notice was
served at the company's office here
last Saturday.
Mr.. Mackay added that "William
HohenZollern himself could not have
been more arbitrary, despotic and
vindctive," and served notice on Mr..
Bureson that he would fight to my
last dollar and to the last ditch"
He ridiculed Mr.. Burleson's state
ment that the dismissal was the re-
suit of his failure to obey Instructions
of the postoffice department assert
ing that the Postal's only two failures
to comply with instructions were in
cases where ambiguity" of the in
structions caused delay, and where
