Clutch and Underarm Bags Highly Popular

LUTCH BAGS and large underarm envelope bags are

particularly new this season. Coblentz, whose bags are carried at Wasson's, introduces a group of especially

fine ones.

From their collection the enormous, flat envelope bag is smart in black patent leather as well as black, navy or blonde calf. Another underarm bag looks like a loaf of French bread. It is the essence of chic in faille or patent leather ornamented by a simple gold insigne and gold clasp. Coblentz is also introducing a new color keyed to go equally well with black, navy, beige or any color you may fancy. It Is called Pine, a handsome Nordic blonde calf.

DRESSY BAGS IN THE collection are faille envelopes on concealed frames that have

not a scrap of metal showing, but open wide to reveal the contents. For evening or cocktails, they can be made glamorous by pinning a jeweled pin to the flap of the envelope.

For the traveler, Coblentz has created a Train Box that opens wide so that all the contents are visible at a glance. It is shaped with a slight curve to permit it to hang comfortably agaist the hips.

Wash Day Tip Colorfast articles should be washed separately so that no

lint from light fabrics will cling to them.

Try to Get Father In Style Picture

We think you ought to try to get Father into the style pleture this spring. He'll probably regard the family shoe bills with a less jaundiced eye if he has a new pair of shoes

or so to brighten up his wardrobe. Also, the new lighter and more comfortable shoes for spring will probably improve his disposition. Generally, gored laceless oxfords, with medium weight leather soles are good looking and oh, so comfortable. These come in all-leather, or with smooth leather wing tips and uppers of nylon mesh. If Papa tends to be a fashion plate, you might draw his attention to a new trend, which pairs the mesh gore type with alligator for mudguards and trims-—or, on second thought, maybe you had better not.

Slip Strap Help Pulled-out shoulder straps on slips often take pieces of the garment with them. Mend these by setting in little diamond or triangular-shaped patches,
