nation of beige and black obtained by
using black suede with pigskin trim.
MANY Of the bags may be matched
" in colored gloves and belts, and
often in the dressier types the contrast
Of suede and shiny leather is a res
flection of shoe style or carries out
the idea of dull fabric with cire trim
shown on so many of the new Fall
frocks, particularly in black.
The more expensive bags are beau
tifully fitted with comb, mirror,
change purse and compartment for
cigarettes and matches. New tops
with several Joints" admit of opening
the bag cleverly to show all the con-
tents at glance. Bags at all prices
seem to have a smart. new look. but
as you 60 up the ladder of cost you
find better materials that wear longer,
and the inside fittings are more COM
plete.
Top handles may be broad and
slipped over the wrist like bracelet,
or thin as thongs, or just average. but
they are all good style. So many
women, however, prefer the under
arm bag that there are about as many
of these on the market, and some very
smart ones, too. Take, for instance,
the extra long, shallow gathered pouch
of black or colored leather with long
bar handle. This is ideal for roomi-
ness. 1t will hold glasses and all sorts
Of things easily and yet feel comfort
able under the arm, and Is so shallow
that you can always find the bottom.
CMART in shape, fabric and color Is
- the bag shown at the top of the
sketch. OF flne-grained leather in OK
blood, with triangle of suede, upper
top and thin leather handles, it is very
new looking. Also good In the two
fabric combination is the fiat suede
envelope with spaced diagonal strip
pings Of kid. These come In several
colors, and we have found gloves
using the same idea Of suede -flnlshed
fabric, with four long, narrow strips OF
leather from the tips OF the four nm
gers to the top of the short gauntlet
wrist. These are very smart ana new'
and not expensive, either. BLACK rust
and green are the colors.
Eggplant suede is just q little dif-
ferent, and makes a bag, rather nat
with two ring handles Of stiffened,
twisted cords of the same color. Tnere
is a matching belt for this bag.
In calf leather there is a bag OF
Cayenne or Spanish tile color with
extremely broad pannier handle. Inns
will look well with tweeds ana tai
lored clothes. It also comes IN dark
brown. The satchel bag with its wlde
base comes in smoky gray suede with
handles of darker gray kid. The
handles which appear through slasnes
near the top, serve as both ornaments
and added strap protection as tney
pass complete around the bag. Fer
fectly grand for the woman VINO al
ways clutches her purse franticaiiy.
In gayer mood is the fan-shaped
purse of pleated suede in black with
single wide strap, rather short. Tne
envelope with laced edges Is smart YET
conservative and comes in q NUMBER
of colors. The Frenchy bag OF black
suede with beige trim has . circle OF
natural colored pigskin on either side
and suggests pigskin gloves with a
black frock or suit.
"A rather bizarre pair Of gloves that
we saw on this shopping trip COM
bined bright green palms with red
backs, quite In the Tyrolean peasant
manner. Even the thumb was IN TWO
colors and the fastening on the top OF
the wrist was made of twisted fabric
instead Of bone or metal.
