NEW DESIGN FOR SMART BAG

Receptacle Will Be at Its Best in Black and Gold Ribbon, or Silver Brocade. This bag is extremely smart and at the same time very easily made. It looks particularly well in ribbon of black and gold or silver brocade, as in onr sketch. - One yard of- ribbon is required about 9 inches wide. This you double In halves wrong side out, and stitch up both sides within 7 inches of the top, and turn out. Next cut lining same shape, allowing %-inch turnings. This you also join within 7 inches of top. Place

this inside bag. Now get a bone ring, either in black or color, and put one done, stitch to the other side, making a seam in the ordinary way, with turnings wrong side. Join up your lining in the same way, sdeing that your turnings are outside, so that when lining and ribbon are placed together both lining ahd bag are perfectly neat, with bone ring between both. Ail that is now required is to slipstitch opening at sides of bag neatly together, when the bag will be ready for use.
