HB school bag is a great conven- ience to school children and a | conserver of books, papers, pencils | and handkerchiefs as well. It is bet- ter to carry the burden of books in a bag than in the arms. A bag leaves the arms free and does not interfere with the stride nor the proper car- riage of the body in walking. Bags are usually made of canvas, or | of canvas covered with cloth. Hard twisted waterproof worsteds, craven- ettes or rubberized clothes will pro- tect the canvas stiffening which holds | the bag in shape. Remnants of suit- ings or of cloths used for coats, in plain colors or dark plaids are select- ed to make the most substantial kinds. Fancier bags of plush, like that shown in the picture, and bags of leather are intended for older pupils. School bags are usually oblong in shape and measure about twelve inches in length and ten in width. - They are cut in the form of an envelope, so that extra width must be allowed on one side to fold over and form the flap. The sides are joined by a straight strip of cloth from two and a half to three inches wide, which is stitched between them. The same are turned to the outside and finished with bindings of heavy woolen brald or strip of thin leather. All the edges of the bag should be bound in this way.! pony! i skin sack settled herself more com- HER NEW GAR By JOHN COWAN. 0000000000000000000000000 The woman in the old style seal- fortably in her street car seat and | pursued the conversation where it had been left off. “No, I don't envy Emma her elec- tric car in the least!"” she repeated firmly. “I'm perfectly willing that other people should have all that’s coming to them, though the land knows what right Emma Ankers has ! to an electric when folks that are her betters don’t own even a wheelbarrow! Why, that woman—say, you know Emma and I used to go to school to- gether! Yes, we did. I've known her all that time, and I guess what I could tell you about Emma would keep me busy some time! “Why, didn’t I do her algebra prob- ] lems for her, because I felt sorryl that she was such a dummy?

The flap on the bag and those on the pockets are fastemed down with snap fasteners, The bag of plush, shown in the pic- ture, is made of a single piece lined with Skinner's satin. A small pocket is inserted at the front for the purse and handkerchief. The edges are dec- orated with a narrow plaiting of satin or satin ribbon. Three snap fasteners across the top hold the front and back together. Silk cord and tassels pro- vide the handle. This bag may be used for a shopping bag, but made to match a small neckpiece and muff, will delight the older school girls or the young woman in college, and add much to her comfort. Before undertaking to make a school bag it is a good idea to examine those shown in the shops. Only fairly sub- stantial ones are to be had from a dol- lar and a halt up. The home-made varieties are ‘cheaper and will stand more wear than the cheap ready-made bags. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Gown Will Do Double Service B do not look to Paris to produce w the best examples of tailored gowns. As in the making of shoes all the world concedes the American product to be the best, so in the pro- duction of the tailored costume Ameri- cans have set the standard for Europe, or for those Europeans who can grasp our conception of clothes made for utility and hard service but not devoid of beauty. developed in smooth-faced cloth. Par- allel rows of machine stitching, show- ing a perfection of workmanship in the most approved tailor-made style, appear wherever there is a logical position for them. Around the bot- | tom of the tunic, down the front edges of the coat and about the bot- i tom, at the edges of the belt and i where the sleeves are set into the body, these rows of exquisitely regu- | lar sewing challenge the eye to find a ! fault. Small points, made of folds of the cloth, as exactly uniform as the machine stitching, are set in under A design by Paquin is pictured here: the belt. These decorations are tests of good tailoring. Turned-back cuffs and a flaring turn- over collar which is extended into & facing of the coat are made of a fig- ured corduroy velvet, and buttons on the coat and skirt are covered with this material. These elaborations hardly belong to the strictly taflor- made according to our ideas of its highest type. They suggest the visit- ing gown and make this an excellent model to follow where one desires a gown which will do service for both kinds- of wear. The skirt is longer than is the rule in street dresses. The tumic is set on to a fitted yoke and shows scant full- ness. The front of the coat is very like that of the last Poiret blouse and will be seen in the finest of blouses for the coming season. It is no re flection upon the ability of the wonder ful Paquin that she appropriates an idea occasionally—and makes the most of it. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. stand well in Julius' eyes. one she married, you know. “Oh, yes, Julius went to schooli there too, and was the most canceit- | ed creature, though how he could be’ otherwise with Emma and all the oth- ers chasing around after him as they ! did! Maybe some of the rest of us could tell a thing or two if we want.' ed to, and if Emma knew what a narrow escape she had from not be- ing Mrs. Julius, she’d shivered in her boots! Not that I'd have taken Ju- MNus if he'd been offered to me on a | slver platter, but he made it plain| enough to me that I could have had! him if I'd wanted to! Little dried up shrimp that he is! Why, he never | had brains enough to make even a decent living, and it he hadn’t inherit- ed all that money from his father Emma would be riding on street cars like the rest of us! “It's perfectly funny to see her with that new electric. She lives on the next street from me, and every day she goes out of her way to trundle by my house, and she looks out to see it I'm watching. They're paving her street, you say? Well, she could just as well go down the next but one, and I know she goes down mine on pur- pose to make me jealous, but, good- ness knows, there isn’t a jealous hair in my head. My husband earns an honest living and doesn’t have to live on some one else’s money, and I'm proud of it. I guess he'd buy me an electric, anyway, if I made a point of it, but I'm no hand for show. I'd rather save up for my old age and take a trip now and then. I asked Emma point blank the other day why she didn’'t go to Califofrnia this win- ter as usual, and she said because the weather had been so mild, but I guess T know They can't afford it after He's the ' tric! “Emma actually came over one day and said she wanted to take me for a ride. but I was too smart for her. 1 guess I wasn't going to sit beside her | and have her crow over me in that | superior way of hers and try to make | me feel that I was a pauper! Not me! I just looked her in the eye and said: ‘Thank you kindly, Emma, but I haven't time. Besides, I'm going out with a friend who wants me to try her new $8,000 limousine they've just imported. Is that your new car? Why, it's really quite nice looking for just a cheap little electric! I don’t suppose it will last very long, but you'll enjoy it while it does, I'm sure. Of course you don’'t go to many par- ties, but it'll be nice to carry things home from the grocery and the mar- ket!’ T guess I rather took the wind out of her sails, for she just opened her mouth and shut it again without a word. She needn’t think she did such a wonderful thing when she married Julius! I wouldn't like to be any man’'s second choice just because he couldn’t get the girl he wanted first! “Did you ever notice how funny it {s that some women seem born to) ride in electrics and others never fit in? Emma seems that kind. She always looks to me as if she was the cook or chambermaid sent out on an to riding in an electric. Anyhow, I'll bet anything it was a secondhand one when Julius bought it, because he's awful tight with his money. She needn’'t put on airs with it! “As for me, T hope she enjoys her- self with that car, poor thing! She has little enough else to enjoy in life, married to a shrimp like Julius! No, Emma’s electric car doesn't make me envious at all—thank heaven, I'm not that kind of a person!” i — Great Stunts. Bill—He does some wonderful stunts on skates. Jill—Well, you ought to see him when he steps accidentally on a plece of soap!” Different. Bill—Do you see anything attractive about weeds in a garden? Jill—Well, yes, if they are widow’s weeds and it's a roof garden. It is seldom that a man can know himself unless some one gives him & rude introduction.
