That Handbag Weighs in At 3 Pounds

30 Items Are Toted In Average Purse

Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 6 — The “busy woman's burden” today is | three pounds of supplies in her 3 ; Dan oa 30 different items ’ ] necessary to get her through her ; - i iis average day in comfort and good } + looks. That's why, says Richard Ko- |: ret, we'll never see a return of the dinky, dainty little daytime : “carry-all” which sufficed forig Grdndma’s total of three items— her: handkerchief, her smelling salts ‘and her visiting ecardcase. Mr. Koret, well-known handbag authority, points out that the handbag keeps the engineer as well as the craftsman busy. “Since women began to tote such necessaries as cigaret cases, com- i pacts, wallets, car keys and lp-| sticks,” Mr. Koret said, “lighter weight leathers, light but sturdy frames, adjustable wrist or shoulder straps for eomfort and shapes that hold a lot without becoming distorted must be developed by skilled technicians.” For the first time in about 20’ years, a swing-back to the cling- : ing-vine spirit is evident in cocktail and evening fashions. This will be reflegted in dressy hand--bags, which will be smaller and of the treasure variety with just enough room for powder, lipstick, handkerchief and maybe a little in mad money, For day-in-and-out-life, however, he believes the ladies will continue to require room in their bags for the following (based on continuing surveys): Wallet with money, automobile license and charge account plates, change purse with coins, cigaret case, lighter, compact, two lipsticks, pillbox for saccharin or vitamin ; tablets, engagement or note book, pen or pencil, letters, cigaret : holder, comb, eyebrow pencil, mirror, eyeglasses, checkbook, hairpins or bobby pins, car keys, house key, extra pair nylon stockings and two handkerchiefs,
