PRETTY, USEFUL BAGS

ALWAYS HANDY, AND QUITE SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION. One Designed to Hold the Duster and ' the Other for Broom Covers—illustration Shows Method of Designing.. A duster bag that the hand can slip in and out of easily, is the best kind. This one is made in flowered chintz or cretonne, lined with sateen and bound with braid or with a bias strip ?the sateen, having a loop at the top hang it by. It is twelve inches

long, and nine wide at the rounded base. The shaped outside piece is slightly larger around than the back piece, allowing the pocket part to bulge slightly.The broom bag is not a broom cover itself, but a pretty holder for such covers and holds six of these made in canton flannel. The case is

made in figured material, is 13 inches wide at the bottom, tapering slightly toward the top, and is 15 inches long. It has a flap of 6 inches* depth. Three loops of the braid are sewed at the back to hang it by. The broom bags are made very much the same shape, only smaller, to fit the broom; a drawing string* is put at the top to draw it up tight around the handle.

Easy to Reach the Dusters.
