Variety in Bags

Nothing completes the “tout ensemble” so entirely as milady's bag, whether it be the tuckaway kind (hat fits securely under tile armpit or a large dangling one that is very much in evidence.

Suede and lizard still seem to be very good. Little envelope bags, made with tiny jewelled clasps or clasps made to represent present-day or prehistoric animals, are decidedly in vogue. Mammoth bags of tapestry and imitation tapestry please the matron as they are large enough to contain the cheque book, eyeglasses, compact and coin without swelling the material to enormous proportions. These larger bags are created in attractive shapes and are usually woven with interesting designs. Besides the popular moire and taffeta bags for evenings, the enamelled mesh ones form a brilliant contrast for the darker evening frock. The vagabond bag, a pouchlike arrangement with' a flap that buttons over, is one of the newest on the market. Tiny bags of white cobra skin, about the size of note-cases, hardly large enough to hold a handkerchief and a key, are very smart. It is interesting to note that the beaded bag must take a fade-out place, its day is gone forever, if would seem.
