Covered Frames and Rings for Bags BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. COVERED FRAMES FOR HANDBAGS MADE OF SPORT FABRICS AND THE SHUT WHEN CARRIED ARE TWO ENT STYLES OF NEW BAGS, ‘Bags have a fascination that few ‘Wwomen can resist. This is undoubtedly one reasan why bags are brought out in such diversified models by manufac- turers and also why o many thousands of styles are shown In papers and maga- zines for the kinds thgt women can make for themselves. Each Season sees novel ideas developed in accord with definite shapes that are in vogue. Just now there are some appealing new trends, both In bags themselves and in frames, Two Ideas we shall consider today. Bags of sport materials have the frames entirely concealed with the same stuff. Stripes are favorite patterns for these bags, just as they are for wear- ing apparel, whether sport clothes or in- formal silk frocks. These bags have the usual fittings of coin purses and mirrore and sometimes powder puffs in con- tainers. The woman who is deft can cut and make these bags. The shape of the frame is Important, for it must be en- tirely covered. Any old plain frame that has a good clasp and Is emooth may ®e covered. The accepted model, how- ever, is a rather wide frame with square corners. This suits the type of bag and is not difficult to cover. Covering Frames. Cut a crosswise strip of the sport ma- terial mentioned. Have it wide ehough to go over the frame without any seam on top. Make an incision for the prong clasps to go through. Baste firmly along the lower part of the frame. coraers should be mitered. The better way to covet the frame, however, Is to make a pattern of the frame, cut the goods ac- cording to it, Beasn along the top edge and down the sides, leaving a place for the clasp to go through, and then adjust over the frame. Sew the materlal diong the under part of the frame so that the top seam comes straight across it. Be- fore adjusting, the seams should be BEDTIME STORIE Jumper Is Bold. A maying true, though it be old: Success most oft atrends the bol —Jumper the Hare. Jumper the Hare was panting as he ran. There were few days since he could remember when he hadn’t had to run for his life, of,at least hadn't been badly frightened. But never had he been quite in such despalir as he Tow was. He knew he couldn’t run much longer, and he knew that Old JUMPER WAS IN BUBTER BEAR'S BEDROOM! Man Coyote would surely catch him unless he could find a safe hiding place. But In his fright he had been heedless. He hadn't pald attention to where he was running, and now he was far from his familiar hiding places. He didn’t know what to do. “I can't run much farther, I just can't do it he sobbed. “I'm tired enough to drop right in my tracks this minute. If it were not for this hateful crust I could get away from that fellow. If only the snow was soft 1 wouldn't worry a bit. But there isn't any soft snow anywhere. Old Man Coyote can run on this crust Just as easily as I can. What shall I do? What shall I do?” ° It was at that very moment that Jumper spled an opening under a great mass of rock. Jumper seldom goes Into holes. But this wasn't ex- @ctly a hole. He knew that that ©pening led into a sort of little cave tunder that rock. The snow had partly filled the opening, but it was etill blg enough for him to enter. For that matter, it was blg enoush Jor Old Man Coyote to enter also. Jumper gave a frightened look back. Old Man Coyote was nearer than he thought for. With a little squeal of eheer fright Jumper turned and dart- ed through that opening under the great rock. 0ld Man Coyote saw where he was heading and did his best to catch Jumper before he could get there. But he didn't succeed. - At that open- ing Old Man Coyote stopped short. He could have followed Jumper in «mnkb&t Jiodigat, No, sir, he didn't. He pol is nose In an twice, three times. Then he ba:.ta NIQUE USE OF RINGS TO INSURE KNITTI BAGS KEEPING NOTABLE FEATURES IN DIFFER- clipped close, but not so small they will fray, and then be steam-pressed open. Most of these sport bags are rather large, but if the material is of sport silk, of French flanwel or similar light-weight goods, they may be emaller. The shape is generally square or rectangular. Lintngs and Fittings. Make the linlng and outside sepa- rately, steam-press the seams open, and fit together. Turn in the edges of both tops. First sew the outside along the lower line of the covered frame and then fell down the inside. | The purse and puff holder are m: | of strips of the fabric, lined, and a | approximately 7x3 inches. Turn up one end of each and seam along the edges to form a pocket. Turn down the other pointed end and sew snaps to form a clasp. Slip the puff-holder Into the pocket made in one of the side linings and the purse in the bo tom of the bag. A tiny mirror ma= have the back covered with the lining and be hung by a ribbon from the trame on the side opposite the pocket. Unique Fastening. Knitting and fancy work bags some- times have unique contrivances to prevent them fromt opening when car- ried. Two cellulold rings are attached to the bag opposite to the places where the ends of the heavy cord or ribbon handle are sewed. The ridbon is first 'Tun thfough these rings and then sewed securely In. place. As 8oon as the bag Is lifted by the h dle it shuts. The handle is made long emough to permit the bag to' open wide. Use straight flat strips of thin wood or metal for the frame. Kach strip Is run through a wide seam be- low the hem allowed for the heading. The beauty of these bags depends upop the style of material selected. Some are handsome, indeed, and .all are useful. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS away and the hair along his back and on his neck began to rise. He growl- ed softly to himself. There was some one in there besides Jumper the Hare. It was Buster Bear! Jumper was in Buster Bear's bedroom, where Buster was sound asleep! Do you think that Jumper .was frightened when he found himself in Buster Bear's bedroom? He was and he wasn't. He had known that that was Buster Bear's bedroom and that Buster was in there. He had also known that Buster was asleep. He was frightened at being mo close to great big Buster Bear, but at the same time he knew that Buster was asleep for the Winter and that there really was nothing to fear from him. Old Man Coyote knew the same thing. But Old Man Coyote has so much respect for Buster Bear's great strength that he feared him even when he was asleep. You see, Jumper was trying to save his life. It was botter to take a chance with Buster Bear asleep than with Old Man Coyote very much awake. But Old Man Coyote wasn't trying to save his life. He was simply trying to get a good dinner, and to his way of thinking even a good dinner wasn't worth the risk of venturing into Blster Bear's bedroom. So he sat outside and growled and snarled and then finally turned and trotted away. Jumper had done a bold thing, a very bold thing. But he had saved his’ lite. (Copyright, 1925, by T. W. Burgess.)

BY MARY BLAKE. . Aquarius, Tomorrow's planetary aspeots are of & complex nature, and do not favor any .spectal line of endeavor. They seem to indicate a favorable opportu- ity ofor review and research. Under such circumstances, it would be well to go carefully over any plans in the making, any agreements to be drawn up, but not yet exgeuted, or any cor- tespondence not yet malled. The vi brations are so good that it will be found easy to get & new an, prodblem, and_.things that have hith- erto baffed you will be made easy of accomplishment. .In the evening the signs are quite benign and denote happiness and contentment, and = frame of mind that makes you feel at peace with all the world, A child born tomorrow will, birth, show very little slgn strength, and will, by its appearance, cause lous misgiviugs. The superficial Indications need not, ho ver, cause either worry or anxiety, as the child will possess great latent strength, be endowed with & good constitution and have remarkable re- cuperative powers. Given careful nutrition and wholesome environ- ment, it will, without difficulty, at- taln its matyrity gifted with-normal streagth and health. Its disposition will be very cheerful, and, although not ‘very studlous, it will, by its quick and alert perception, leadn very readily and without that plod- ding effort so necessary in some. It will have a very big heart and be not only affectionate, but demonstra- tive. It will not, howvever, at any time, suffer from a “broken heart,” as its loves will. not affect it for any lehgth of time. . 1t tomorrow is pour birthday, you are very stucious, but not very alert It enguged in & pusiness pursult, un- less it be along statistical lines, you are probably not meeting with that degree of success to which your un- doubted ability entitles you, as business demands practicality and this 15 the one qualification that, above &ll others, you lack. In view of your natural inclinations and in- Lerent gifts, your greatest measure of achievement would, possibly, be found in education or research flelds. Your disposition is a very serlo one and you have very little sen: of humor. In affairs of the heart, you take life very serlously and are not capable of a flirtatious sentiment. You are very jealous, and this, caused so0 often by lack of confidence In one's self, embitters your life to a large extent.

Iaside of this large circle I draw another smaller one, and then still anothet smaller one inside of this, making three oir- cles, each having eight triangles. I place one letter of the alphabet in each space and cut but the circles so that by turning the circles the chil- dren can make many three-lettered words. Each tries to see how many he or she can get, and the game not only helps to pass the time but is instructive as well.

Shall She Give Up Friendship With Married Man?—Husband Does Not Want Children. IDFAR MISS DIX: What would you do with & naturally slovenly mani One who never comba his hair on the plea that it doesn't look combed anyhow, and who never buttons his shirt collar; one who throws his burnt matches all around on the floor when he smokes, and whom you can always trace by the ashes he leaves behind him? That is my husband, and he says that his home is for his own comfort and that he will dress and do as hs leases in It, and he never thinks of all the extra work he makes for me. elleve me, I think that an ash tray full of burnt matches at a man's elbow is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. CRANK. Answer: There are millions of other wives who wili agree with you, sister, for you are not the only woman who has a husband who belleves that home is the place where man can Indulge his natural’ Instincts to be plggish. And there are millions of other women who want to know, just as you do, why a man will drop ashes all over the place and strew his cigarette stubs around, when it would be more convenleat to drop them in an ash tray, and why a man can’t read & newspaper without scattering it all over the house, and why he always parks his towels on the floor and hengs his coat up on a chalr., But no one can answef these questions because no man ever tells and no woman can even imagine why he does it. It Is one of the secrets of the masculine psychology that are aa inscrutable mystery. —— It is sad, thoygh, when you come to think about it, that men's careless- ness makes about three-fourths of the work that women have to do. The thing that works mother Into nervous prostration is not the legitim cooking and cleaning for her family, but the unnecessary tasks they impos upon her. It is the picking up and putting away of the clothes that members of the family should attend to themselves. It is having to scrub out the bath tub that could so easily be wiped out by every bather, having to sweep up the ashes and pick up the burned matched a dozen times a day that sends many a wife to the grave for her first rest. Of course, a man is right when he says that his home is a place where he can take his ease, but it Is also a place in which wife should have some ease, and this she cannot have unless she gets some consideration and co-operation from the balance of the famil, DOROTHY DIX, LR EAR MISS DIX: I am a widow, 36 years old, and lonely. I recently met & married man with whom I have spent considerable of my lelsure time, with the result that we have become very much attached to each other —so much, in fact, that he feels that in justice to each other and to his wife, our friendship should cease. Do you consider it would be particularly wrong to continue this friendship? I find it hard to give him up. B K. Answer: The man {s right, B. K. Playing with fire is a dangerous game, and few that do it fail to get burned, so stop in time and save yout pretty fingers and eke your reputation and a hurt heart. That this man, whom you have no right to love, is becoming too dear to you ls proved by, the fact that you find it hard to give him up. You would find it still harder the longer the affalr went on and the more attached to him you became. He realizes this and like a sensible and an honorable man he wants to break oft the relationship while you can still have the memory of a beautiful friendship, instead of the tragedy of a hopeless love. You do not wish to break up his home, to bring sorrow upon his wife and orphan his children. The woman who commits a crime like that is worse than a murderess, but that is what it would come to if you pursued an clation that is coming to fill up more and more of your life. A widow of 36 Is at her most attractive age. She can find plenty of unattached men to keep her from being lonely. They are falr game. Pursue them and leave the married men alone. DOROTHY DIX. DR JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been married for nearly four years. I dearly love my husband, who has proved an ldeal mate, being alw: kind, considerate and stopping at no expense to grant my slightest wish. While our views on nearly every other question cotncide, we differ over the question of a family. He does not want children, and I do. What fs your advice? H W. Answer: T think it is a great misfortune when there are not children in a family. A baby in the house is not only a wellspring of joy, as the says, but a source of never-dying interest. It is a spur to ambition. It education in the humanities. "It brings out all that is best in men and women and gives them something to live for besides themselves. ‘When people are young, they are enough for themselves. They can find pleasure and Interest in society and amusement; but when they grow old, unless they have children their house is left unto them desolate. Nature has arranged it so that about the time we begin to lose interest in ourselves our children come along with their fresh hopes and ambitions, and we live our lives over again in them. The woman who has been a beauty and belle In her day has the triumphs of her youth renewed In her daughter; and the man who sees his son winning at foot ball and carrying off the honors at college, or forging ahead in business, gets a thrill and & kick out of it that the old bachelor or the childless man never knows. ‘Women need children to occupy their minds and hands. It Is the childless women who are bridge fiends and faddists; who run off after long- haired poets or ox-eyed movie heroes, and who discover that their husbands are not thelr soul mates. Men need children to hold them steady, to €ive them something to work for and to make them good cit{zens. Ang, take this for a tip, my dear, whenever you have a baby your views about children will change. He may call other people’s childrea brats, but his owa will be marvels of beauty and precocity, about ‘whors he will brag until he makes himself a nuisance.
