NEW BROCADES i;
ADD' BRILLIANCY ;
TO SHOPPING BAG
THE new metallic brocadesand oth
er brocades in riblxins. exception
ally rich In effect, are used in making
up bits of splendor in' bags. "A, great
advantage lies in the fact that plain
ribbons are used In conjunction with
the brocaded patterns and the heavy
texture -of the brocades -"(especially
those haring metal threads) - gives
body; as well as brilliance ito this sea
son's bags.
These brocades are found in the me
dium and narrow widths. . They com
bine to advantage 'with plain soft satin
ribbons for many reasons. The plain
ribbon is chosen in the color which is
predominant in the brocaded ribbon,
and becomes a background, which en
hances the beauty of the latter.

gant enough for any one. Although
the ribbons used are expensive, only
small quantities are necessary, and
there is hardly any other gift embody
ing so much elegance for as little
money, as these luxurious bags.
The bag at the left of the picture Is
made of a rich brown satin ribbon,
about five inches wide, stitched to a
strip of gold and brown brocaded rib
bon in which many shades of brown
and tan appear, and there is a liberal
mixture of gold flowers. The flat de
sign of the cosmos blossom I& cleverly
handled In this ribbon. These brocad
ed ribbons are marvels of weaving. In
them artists use the loom and- silk as
other artists usethe brush and paint
The plain ribbon used is a frame for
the fabric picture.
. The three strips of ribbon, machine
stitched together,- are cut in a length
twice that of the bag, with an allow
ance'for turning back two inches at
each end. ' The ends with this two-
inch. hem are machine stitched in two
parallel rows forming a casing for the
narrow ribbon of heavy satin that is
run in to form the drawing string.
A bolt of No. 2 (or even a little
wider) satin ribbon of . first-class qual
ity la required to make the hanger,
the rosettes and .pendant ends which
decorate the bag at each side. '
In shades of purple"," lavender, and
light greeK with a touch of white, the
second bag is also made of three strips
of ribbon, machine stitched together
The brocaded strip shows a pale gray
ground with -white border and a
blurred . design of flower petals and
foliage in heliotrope, lavender -and
green. . - j
The bottom of the bag Is made.ot
a dish of cardboard "covered with the
figured ribbon. It" Is' five inches In di
ameter. The .length of ribbon made ot
three strips (two plain, and one 'fig
ured) runs around the bag, and the
edge, ot one strip is gathered to . the
covered dish. . At the top of the bag
a two-inch hem, with parallel rows of
stitching, to form a casing, accommo
dates a small length of round elastic.
This forms the mouth of the bag.
' Heavy satin ribbon an ' inch wide,
in the same shade as .that of the plain
satin ribbon in the bag, is used for
the hangers or handles. Narrower satr
In ribbon in the same color and shade,
provides the Tosettes at the side. This
is a lovely opera bag, suitable, too, to
be worn with a visiting gown. It Is
less expensive than bags in which
brocaded ribbons are used, for the fig
ured ribbon may be either a printed or
"wo ven-in" design.
The third bag is a splendid bit ot
finery in which plain gold-colored sat
in ribbon and a narrow gold brocade
(showing a surface almost entirely of
metal threads) are combined to make
an opera bag. The cord is of gold col
ored satin-covered cable cord, and
might be effectively replaced with the
regular metalic cords which are shown
for this and similar purposes.
The narrow brocaded ribbon is cut
in the required lengths (enough for
both sides of the bag), and joined bj
pipings of the plain gold colored satin
A bottom for the bag is. made by cov
ering an oblong, piece of cardboard
about two and a quarter Inches wide
with the plain ribbon. A mirror in
serted here adds to the attractiveness
of the bag. ;
Both top arid bottom of the bag are
bound with the-brocaded ribbon, ma
chine stitched to place. Machine
stitching is a factor in. the shapeliness
of these bags. The covered bottom is
finally sewed in and the cord hangers
sewed to position.
This is one of the most fascinating
of the new designs, any one of which
will make a beautiful gift for Christ
mas time.

WHY THEY WON.
The sporting writer of a large east
ern dally tells cf the first notable vic
tories won by American athletes over
those of England. An English team
had come to New York for an easy
time in maintaining their old-time su
periority over all other nations. The
evening before the opening of the
events a few of the Americans dropped
into the British headquarters and were
astonished to find several of them sip
ping ale. In reply to their expres
sions of surprise the Englishmen pro
tested: "Oh, we always drink ale, but
not much of it" In the ensuing con
tests Great Britain was badly beaten.
Sportsmen in the tight little isle are
now speaking seriously of the United
States' rise in the athletic world, and
wav resnectful to the elements of re- are beginning to admit that the Amer-
lleion Just presented; but we desire lean systsm of no intoxicants and no

to place the emphasis on the indi
vidual life. We would not do this be
cause we Ignore community life, but
because reaching the Individual lives
that make the community we reach
the community in a way that is In
flnltelv more satisfactory than by
reaching it in its corporate capacity,
We would not confuse any individual
by calling his attention to religion as
supreme in the community, but as su
preme in himself,
The first reason for this Is that
God commands It as In the text an
nounced, as creator, preserver, dally
benefactor and guarantor of blessings
on man, the value of which cannot be
measured. This right of God to com
manri is denied bv many, and not
even a word of thanksgiving for the
daily blessings of life, nor a prayer
for their continuance is heard, ex
cept from very few.
The universal , belief In the Immor

phasis on the value of the perma

permanent. It emphasizes that which

is that multitudes come to the) end
of life as if there was nothing be

meet thy God" Is not a mere matter
of historical interest. It should ring
in the ears of every living man and
woman. After death there is judg
ment annointed of God, and the
Judge has likewise been . appointed
But what are the issues of judgment?
In short, heaven and hell. Yet ow
cynically these great facts are thought
of and spoken about, but religion pro
vides for the winning of the one, and
escaping the other. If heaven and
hell are myths, there must be a re
vision not only of the teachings of
Jesus Christ and his apostles, but of
the moral philosophy of all the ages
If these great facts of the beyond
were a more, permanent s. element In
the evangel of the day, that evangel
would be far more effective,
Another reason why. religion should
be supreme is that the worry of men
and women over the things of small
importance would , disappear. In
close connection with -this text Jesus i
spoke of the anxious care for food j
and clothing.' That is what is eating j
out the life of : multitudes tolay, J
something entirely unnecessary. If '
religion is made supreme, food, cloth-
tobacco at all times must be adopted

hope .for the regaining of her lost
laurels.
VERY MUCH ALIVE.
Bellalre, Ohio, has been without sa
loons for nearly five years. Accord
ing to the argument of the "wets" It
should by this time the "dead asa
door nail." But "nowhere in the Ohio
valley," the Wheeling Intelligencer
tells us, can be found a busier or live
lier town than Bellalre. This fact Is
plainly demonstrated every Saturday
night. All the stores along the main
streets were so crowded that progress
was almost impossible. One merchant1
stated that the crowd in hiB store was
so large the he, assisted by his corps
of clerks, could scarcely accommodate
them. This city is now on a straight
and rapid road of progress, and In a
few years will undoubtedly be the
foremost city of the valley. The peo
ple are becoming aware of the fact
that the money spent at home builds
up the town and makes it a better
place to live in.
DRIVER OR DRINKSHOP?
A Chicago coroner gives it a" his
opinion the result of his experience
with Joy-riding accidents that men
who are out all night drinking whis
ky and beer should not be trusted
to drive automobiles. If there Is no
law, he says, under which a drunken
chauffeur can be locked up, the city
council had better get busy and make
one.
How would It be to lock up the
places which make drunken drivers?
Why not outlaw the thing, which
makes the men Incapable. of handling
a machine? The people of Chicago
or any other city can do it. They
can see to it that no automobile
fatality is caused by drink. It's up to
the voter to "get, busy." '
NEW USE FOR GARBAGE!.
It is a matter of general knowledge
that whisky and beer are' made from
all kinds of' mill and factory refuse.
And now, it is ; authoritatively stated,
liquors sre"to be manufactured from
