MACRAME HANDBAG IS LIKED

Especially With Evening Wear They Make a Meet Charming Addition to'the Toilette. We have developed a new mania for macrame handbags, and for evening wear these represent a charming addition to the toilette. The foundation of the bag is carried out In ivory or colored poplin, or some other stout silk, the macrame lace completely covering the whole, and being finished with a deep fringe at the base. These bags are looked upon as fully worthy of the handsome gold and silver mounts which form part of the scheme. Many women, who are clever with their fingers and naturally fond of work of this kind, find it a very simple matter to evolve the bag themselves. Another type of bag which is popular is entirely covered with strass and beadwork, in rich and multi-col-ored designs, and this is also often the fruit of the girl’s Industry when emancipated from the routine of school work.
