Lent women who go dining and to the opera etc wear lowcut short sleeved waists almost invariably trimmed wIth black velvet If the adopter of this Lenten fashion has fair shoulders this black velvet treatment sets them off to admiration The shoulder straps and fresh handsome hand-some bows must be made of dusky vel I vet and invariably a loose loop of velvet vel-vet Is allowed to fall cut cit the arm between elbow and shoulder Occasionally Occa-sionally to this loop is fastened a great I rosette of velvet that seems almost to simulate a short sleevE again a large I loose petaled flower is fastened to the loop and the effect is just as pretty I If a white chiffon or silk bodice is worn the black velvet treatment shows I to double advantage and many women fasten to the loop below the shoulder a large white chrysanthemum or a giant white silk rose and the conse quence always inspires envious admiration I admir-ation SPRING SCHOOL CLOTHES I How shall the bairns be prepared for the

aid of a bag The handbag of various types used to be the totem of the tribe of Boston women but the New York the Philadelphia and the Chicago women have come to count the little bag among their dearest treasures The suburbanite who comes i in for a days hard shoping carries one style of reticule the luxurious rivituie who rides lxi a carriage carries car-ries another but they all belong to the rerrs bag and the funny thing is that v hen the woman ls and no matter who e her bag goes with her Like Mijs Httle lamb it follows her to church on her calls to concerts readings read-ings the theatre opera weddings and to balls and dinners A well provided woman owns at least a dozen types of bag from a big net c kt I thing of knitted silk or twine to a delicious little perfumed nestlike affair of rosy brocade Nobody has a pocket nowadays and on the ruins of the packet the bag has risen It is usually usu-ally made of tough green cloth quite unlike the pretty double bag of dark silk hung on a silver ring that the sample matcher gaily carries In place of the silk reticule with an expanding metal gate top so popular a year ago Very small leather catches of more or less splendor of material and make up are in exceeding favor with shoppers too and some women who have an absentminded way of leaving purses etc on counters have their little shopping shop-ping bags locked to their wrists like bank messengers The sort of bag that goes calling and to concerts is a tiny elongated satchel of the finest leather mounted on a gold or silver frame and to the leather exterior ex-terior the owners initials in silver are fastened Such a bag is always carried on the arm for its handle is made sufficiently suf-ficiently large to admit of Its being pushed up as high as the elbow and many of them have secret locks where a key Is not concerned Cards purse smelling salts handkerchief etc are carried in such a bag while those that I go to weddings and balls are long I beaded or brocaded silk affairs mounted I at I ed on mouths of metal and fastening like a wallet By a gold chain they I hang from the arm else by means of a stout pin fixture your bag can be made I fast to your side as you dance MAKY DEAN |
