Cretonne Handbags.

There ig a rage for things made of cretonne —not cushions and slips to cover the chairs and curtains, but things to wear. One of the latestncretonne novelties is the cretonne handbag. It is noL necessarily cheap, as the fabric from which it is made might make one think it is. For it is made and mounted in an expensive, as well aa in a cheap, way; The expensive mount shows a silk lining and a substantial metal frame of good quality, and this sort of handbag can be appropriately carried with the most elaborate lingerie frock. The cheaper cretonne handbag is also pretty with lingerie frocks, especially at th* seashore or in the country.
