ID EALLY good shopping bags of
IN leather have done so much vary
ing in price since days of the war,
that Il good many bags of other mate
rIals are replacing them. Those Of
silks and of heavy and handsome rib
bonS, which women make for them
selves, using celluloid or German sill
yer mountings, have taken the place
of the better leather bags to quite an
extent. There are many more bead
bags than ever before. although they
are, as they always have been, expen-
sive. The most practical OF these
substitutes for the regulation leather
bags are those of ribbon and silks
and Il is pretty fad to have bag
and street hat to match, using bro
caded ribbon or plain, or either fig
ured or plain silks. The bags are
usually lined with satin in contrast
ing color
Tl.is hat and bag to match idea is
responsible for the very novel bag
shown at the left of the picture above.
This bag is made of small iridescent
green feathers, which have been most
painstakingly sewed to silk fOunda-
tion. II is mounted on frame and
lned with satin, after the manner Of
silk bag and has much the same ap-
pearance as q bead bag. Small all
feather hats or turbans made of bril-
ant little feathers inspired this nov
lty and 1t may have been a compan-

ness and trimness in the style that
is fetching. The short Chinese coat
is embroidered in an odd design with
silk, and has q double band set on at
the bottom under a tuck. The original
oriental jacket would have pockets in
the sleeves probably, but here the
model is unfaithful to its prototype.
Little slit pockets find n place in the
border at each side OF the front. The
tiaring sleeves have narrow turned
back cuffs, and there is q fiat collar
The skirt is plain and straight, mar
row enough to give the slender lines
which are needed with this jacket.
One hardly knows where to place
the responsibility for the suit at the
right, but its origin is on the other
side of the world from China. The
body of the coat is more than semi
fitting and it's skirt Is made to ripple
with plaits On the hip at each side
there is a box plait and lest we over
look them. clOse-set satin-covered but
tons are placed in row on them.
Another row accents narrow seton
panel OF cloth at the back and posi-
bly, the front depends upon them for
fastening.

is looking for the unusual in bags will

A short-lived fad for carrying dolls

WOULD JEFFRIES WIN IF
 MATCHED WITH DEMPSEYf

According to Jim Coffroth, the Cali fornia promoter, the best of all heavy weight fights would have been one be- tween Jim Jeffries, as he was when at the top of his form, and Jack Demp- sey on the day Dempsey licked Jess Willard. Coffroth opines that if Jeff had been there instead of Willard one grand scrap would have resulted, and he thinks it would have been a toss up as to the winner.
 Dempsey has not been tried suffi- ciently as yet to predict with any de- gree of confidence that he would have beaten big Jeff. but the present cham pion certainly would have made a great fight of it. Jeffries was heavier and tougher and more enduring than Jack. There can be no doubt of that But Dempsey is'faster, hits with more snap and probably boxes as well.
 Jeff would have had big advantage in the all important matter of exper- fence. The men he met and defeated were, on the whole, far superior to those that Dempsey bowled over so easily.
 There is no question that Dempsey is more of punisher than Jeff was Sharkey never would have been able to absorb Dempsey's best wallops for
