Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 March 1911 — One of the New Bags. [ARTICLE]

One of the New Bags.

The newest hand bags are quite small, doubtless in contrast to the mammoth ones we have been carrying. The favorite shape is oblong, about seven Inches wide and five deep. The special favorites for spring are in colored leather in shades of mauve, apricot, blue, violet and red. They usually carry on the outer flap three small initials in gold or in a darker shade than the leather. ( Most of these bags, though small, have on one side compartment for ndrror and vanity case and on the other a place for handkerchief and cardcase. Others have a special chain so it can be easily pulled out in a crowd, instead of fishing in a crowded bag.
