These bags are usually made so that the covers are removable for laundering, and also interchangeable for match- ing or contrasting with several frocks. | One of the cleverest of these is a | commodious bag in white linen with white patent flaps on either side at the top., under which may be snapped on linen covers of other colors, green, black, red, yellow. This bag was featured by an important New York store and may now be found in Wash- ington. There are any number of possible combinations with this bag, price of $3, with $1 more for an extra cover. Initialed linen bags are good. Those with “rat tail” initials are new look- ing and come in dark linens with white initials, as well as all white. The covers are likewise removeable and there is a choice of navy, brown or white. At the top left is a cool-looking bag of panamex, a basket weave of a shiny cellulose material. It has a nice, round, firmly plaited handle and a deep pocket. White patent has a slick, icy coolness, and the one shown at upper right with long leaflike ap- pliques to cover the ends of the handles is a little different. Some patent bags are covered with a small stitched seed pattern that makes an effective surface finish. White pigskin grain is used also, and the white wooden bead bags go merrily on their way secure in the thought that they are | one of the most practical and well- | liked Summer styles. * ok k% FEW good hints for a canny com- muter to town is given by a New York woman. She says that her accessories for town wear must be wasthable. Bags with white or bright, Temovable fabric covers, or leathers or simulated leathers which can be wiped off with a damp cloth; chamois or suede gloves or Bemberg or other synthetic weaves in corelated designs; crisp launderable gilets or blouses for her linen suit; possibly patent leather bright sandals, which, like the bags, need only a damp cloth to remove the dust. She looks crisp, fresh and neat, turned out with an assurance which frequent tubbings contribute. The same accessories frequently accom- pany the printed suit, which is such an important fashion factor in Amer- ican cities.

As it is quickly prepared and O MUCH has been said about bonuses being paid for babies in several continental countries that it has moved a corre- spondent to ask me what I think of pay big enough dividends to their parents to make them worth | all of the suffering and anxiety and work and worry they cost. Well, there is no denying that chil- dren are more or less of a gamble and there is no absolutely certain way of telling how they are going to turn out. No matter how much judgment you use in selecting their mother or father, how carefully you pick out their grandparents, nor how hard you labor to make a success of them, they may be a losing venture that will bankrupt you in heart and purse. But on the contrary, the flier that you take in an infant that doesn’t look worth keep- ing, may bring you fame and honor and make you rich beyond the dreams of avarice. There is no sure thing in babies any more than there is in the stock market, but for the long pull Children Preferred is a conservative risk that can be recommended. This is true whether you regard children as slaves or as toys; as topic of conversation, as a preventive of boredom, as an old-age insurance. For on each of these counts children pay 100 per cent on the dollar, hence may be regarded as gilt-edge invest- ments. * ok ok X THAT children are easy money to lazy and greedy parents we all know. The scandal of child labor is ever with us. We see conscienceless fathers and mothers feeding their babies to machines and growing fat on the money earned by little hands. And we are all personally acquainted with men and women who knock off and never do another day's labor after their children are old enough to take out their working papers. They take the thin pay envelope of frail girls and boys and live upon their earnings. It doesn’t take an expert accountant to figure out the percentage of profit there is in chil- dren who have to support their fa- thers and mothers for forty:years in return for the ten or fifteen -years of food and clothing they received. As a topic of conversation children are worth their weight in gold. Half the middle-aged men and women in the world would be dumb if heaven had not mercifully provided them with an exhaustless theme upon which to discourse in their offspring. As long as they can tell about the baby cutting a tooth, or repeat little Johnny's witticisms, or boast of the number of dates that Mary has they have all the equipment for heing monologists and never know a silent moment. The amusement value of children has never been properly estimated tn there will be small boxes of them priced exceedingly The same situation exists with. | Here is how it is done: price | Here is a | turn it into a saucepan, season it well | | children as an investment, and if they | in happiness | CASWELL.

There is sliced cooked Virginia ham, there are all the “wursi” family, bologna, there is salami, there ar various pressed meat loaves, such as pork and cheese, veal combined with other meats, and so on. A bountiful assortment of some of these would certainly solve the meat problem in a cool and collected way! | A COOKED vegetable salad may be prepared the day before—and, whisper—also will make use of left- over cooked vegetables in a delightful way. Wash off any butter that may be left on these, before setting them to chill. Almost any combination is good—string beans, peas, baby limas, | bits of celery, carrots, beets, asparagus | tips, caulifiower, etc. The more vege- | tables you have the gayer and more | tasty the salad.

Manners of the to borrow our enthusiasms, and unless we have children we are left as flat as spent balloons. But if we have children we live our lives over again in them. We pin our hopes, our ambitions on them, and we are prouder of our sons who are making marks in college and of our daughters who are beautiful and talented than we ever were of any- thing that we achieved. If you want to know whether children are worth while or not, watch a father when his son is making a touchdown in a foot ball game, or a mother when her daughter is the belle of the ball. And, finally, children are the best old-age insurance that men and women can take out in their youth. Look about you and you will hardly see a home in which there is not an old father or an old mother being cared for by a son or daughter. It is a rare thing when children do not gladly not only support their parents, but also give them the love and ten- derness without which old age is desolate.

A method_which offers at last, a way to take off ugly fat without suffering a hungry moment—and without taking strenuous exercises or drugs. A method which increases physical and mental energy as excess weight disappears. Under the direction of the eminent Dr. Damrau of New York, a number of people who were gaining at the rate of 124 pounds a month, followed this remarkable method. And the average loss registered was 7 pounds per person in a single month. Consider that carefully. This Is All You Do This sensational reducing method simply calls for this: Mix 3{ of a glass of Welch's Grape Juice, with 17 of a glass of water, and drink b fore each meal—and at bedtime. Theneatcens:bly,and thisiswhat happens. First, Weleh's Grape Juice satisfies your craving for rich, sweet foods. You have less desire to over-eat fattening foods— yet you do feel comfortably satisfied. Second, the grape sugar in Welch's is quickly burned up—producing vital en- ergy. And, most .mportant, helps nature to consuine excess fat. Third, the juice has an alkalizing effect on the system which any doctor will tell you is highly beneficial. This is why weight is not only lost natur- ally and safely—often at the rate of 7 pounds a month, or more—but why you feel so much better and stronger as your ugly fat disappears. Only One Thing to Watch In following this proved, SAFE way to lose ugly fat—eat sensibly—and be sure to use Welch's pure, aged, unadulterated full-strength grape juice. Made from the finest grapes.grown. No water added; no artificial coloring. Good Housekeeping approved. Insist upon the genuine Welch’s Grape Juice for the results you want.
