Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Go. F one has any money at all to put ] init, one surely needs a handbag. And if one hasn't the money to fill the bag with, there are the pow- der cases, rouge boxes, lipsticks, &c. which ery for a,receptacle. .So Miss Fashion answered the call of her heart and went out. From one store to another she went. Bags called to her everywhere. What material are tuey using for che spring bags? Are leather bags popular? ‘What novelty bras ‘are ared? What kind of handles, frames, &c.? Ah! One thing one can be sure of. Those big, roomy bags in which one could cram all the little odds and ends so dear to the feminine heart have disappeared, The new bags are dainty, novel, and spell VANITY. being of- There are t from, There are bags for the day- time and bags for the evening. The day bags may be. had in silk or leather, There are also a few vanity boxes of black vachette, which still have a sitght vogue. Then there are the novelty bags, of feathers or flowers. The silk bags are holding sway, this season—and silk means moire. These moire come in plain, fancy or strived silk.. The bags illustrated on this page should certainly make the feminine heart flutter. The four-cornered, al- most diamond shaped, bag with the long thin handle is especially unique. It has a frame of carved horn used with duvetyn, the same tone in brown. gs and bags to choose bags frames are popular on the new moire bags. ‘Black and White Is All Right,’’ is the modiste’s cry this season. So it is in bagdom, These ivory framed bags are particularly suitable for the vogue of black and white. The loop-handled bag illus- trated is a fetching example. It is of black silk, piped with white. The long silk tassel is of black and white. Black moire may also be faced with a lining and keep in harmony with the present vogue for that com- bination, Brocaded silk too is very fashion- able. The bag pictured with the long chain handle is—well! It most speaks for itself. Its gorgeous coloring, how- ever, cannot be pictured. The Moorish Ivory frame and the unique clasp tell their story. Yes-—imported! Then the are ba Which look like big, , oranges.

Some have gold plated clips; others have sterling silver plates for initials, Some are hand painted. A _ novelty brought out this season features saf- fian or English mutton skin, with a glace finish in high colors, If one likes to carry a bag in the evening, there are the daintiest of dressy bags to pick from. Two very, stunning ones were seen by Miss Fashion. One looked like a bunch of roses. The other like a bunch of natural forget-me-nots. The rose bag was bunched with all the roses drooping down and the stems gath- ered into a handle. The forget-me- not bag was quite similar, only the long green stems of the dainty blue flowers did not part to find the open- ing, as in the rose bag; but if one brushed the little blue flowers apart one could find the clasp hidden away. Both were carried as one would carry, flowers. So despite the inroad of the knick- ered girl, one may find among the handbags the dainty feminine touch.
