VeIveteen Evening Bag
Looks Just RiqElt
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

Sometimes it's difficult to
find the perfect evening bag
for that special dress. You
look at 10 or Is in silk, bro
cade, lame, beads, etc., but
there isn't one that is quite
acceptable. Making one in
black velveteen, or, perhaps.
Of fabric matching your dress
or coat is a solution. The
handle on the illustrated bag
is much more comfortable to
hold than is the clutch-type
bag.
You'll need: y yard vel
veteen { or fabric of your
choice; y yard taffeta for
lining; u yard interfacing
fabric.
/. Cut one piece of velve-
teen, taffeta and interfacing,
II ins.x17 ins. for body of
bag.
2. Basic interfacing to
wrong side 0f velveteen.
3. Fold velveteen in half,
right sides together, so the
two short edges meet.
4. Stitch short ends of bag
together, allowing La-inch
seam allowance. Now, stitch
one inch across the two
points at the folded bottom
edge Of the bag. Clip off the
points and turn to right side
and press.
S. For the straps. cut 2
pieces of velveteen and taffe-
ia. one piece 6l2 ins.xl3 ins.
and the other AZ ins. by 13
ins. Place velveteen and taf-
feta right sides together, and
stitch along the two long side
edges allowing l2-in. seam
allowance. Do this with both
straps. Turn to right side and
press.
6. Pin the straps to the top
edge of the bag, right side of
straps to right side of bag,
placing them as shown in the
top illustration. Be sure each
strap is pinned right up to
the side edges of the bag.
There will be a space of
about one inch between the
two straps. Stitch straps to
bag. Press seam allowances

Hurry. Hurry, Hurry!

Circusman, P. T. Barnum,
who coined the phrase, There's
a sucker born every minute"
would have been intrigued to
read about the current debate
over Federal laid" to educa-

serious doubt about the posi-
iblity of selling one dollar bills
to the American people for a
buck and a half. (And there
is something very much like
that involved in the great de-
bate, as will be pointed out.)
But even Barnum could have
gotten a lot of takers" for a
proposition that seemed to in
volve a "give-away' of free"
dollar bills, provided that those
who took them didn't realize
that their tax bill, next year,
would be increased by $1.50.
