The new jeweled fabrics are used
for evening bags. Isn't this full
of sparkle, rhinestone mesh
white rhinestones on black-seed
pearls on satin (the satin must
match the color of your evening
slippers). Black antelopes and
satins are designed for tea-time
and dinner costumes. They have
extremely odd shapes of
bottles, pyramids and feed bags.
There is also bag just for after
noon or dinner. 1t is black satin
with a chiffon handkerchief tied
to the top handle or pulled under
the flap to make the handle. This
handkerchief can be removed cas-

Isn't that a charming way to
