Velvet Bags.

When you gather up the scraps of your velvet afternoon dress, don’t throw them away! Make them up into a soft bag that should be carried with the dress. It can be square or round, and whatever other material you wish, can be combined with it. A long silk cord, or silver or gold if you wish the metallic noth, must be attached. This is thrown over the arm. Beads, embroidery, little patches of tapestry or brocade fend braid or lace are easy ways of decorating the flat upper surface. Just as a personal touch, embroider your monogram in a circle or diamond down in one corner. Paris is quite enthusiastic over these bags and America promises to take up the fashion. This is merely a hint to clever women.
