EXTENSION TO SHOPPING BAG.
Idea of Practical Value That Will Be
Welcomed—ldea Capable of
Development.
▲ novel shopping bag Is made In
exquisite leather with the usual clasp
and handle, but having an added
length that when the shopper starts
out with her bag empty is folded up
and clasped to the side of the bag.
After the regular supply of small pur
chases has been made and the accu
mulated samples threaten to over
flow and burst all bounds the exten
sion side la unclasped without even
opening the bag. which becomes twice
Its original size. Indeed. It would
hardly be straining a point to consider
it. In Its extended condition, a one
night bag. for If the finest of night
dresses were used and the daintiest of j
traveling helps they could all be got j
In without a doubt.
A look at these leather shopping
bags will show the clever woman how
the Idea could be developed In broad ,
sash ribbon for a fancy work bag that ,
would hold little or much In the way j
of embroidery. In making the ribbon
bag the buttoning up of the extension I
side would have to be rather complete [
—three enameled buttons at least j
would be required to hold the wide. |
soft ribbon In place.
HERE IS PRETTY NIGHT DRESS
This Is a pretty Idea for a simple
night dress. It would need to be made
up In a fine quality material.
Insertion Is laid on In a pretty pat
tern In the front; the fulness Is then
drawn up at the neck and set to a
narow band which Is edged with lace.
The aleeve Is drawn into a narrow
band, covered with Insertion, to which
a frill of soft lace Is attached.
Materials required: Five and one
half yards 36 Inches wide, six yards
insertion, IV* yards lace.
"Good Luck” Belt Buckles.
Balt buckles In sliver. In Japanese
characters, which signify good luck
•nd long life, are exceedingly good
MAKES A PRETTY TRIMMING.
Nothing Better Than the Popular
French Knot to Add Distinction to
Gingham Frock.
The girl who Is never without a
serviceable shirtwaist frock of fine
checked gingham can give hers an ar
tistic and distinctive touch by trim
ming It with the French knot so popu
lar this season.
Any one who can make a French I
knot can do this simple embroidery |
either directly on the frock itaelf or’
on specially prepared bins bands. All
sorts of conventional designs are used,
which can be copied from books on
crossstitch embroidery, or even bead
ing patterns.
The one essential Is that the light'
squares are worked with a dark-col
ored silk and the dark squares with
white or a light tone of the shades
used.
A heavy twisted embroidery silk Is
used, or If much work Is done, regular
crochet silk will be found cheaper-
The knots must be firmly made and
all must have the same number of
twists.
It is also important to work them
all In the same direction, that Is. bring
the needle up at the same corner In
each square and take it down In the
diagonal corner every time. Hold the
thread taut with the left hand after
the twist Is made and the needle Is
being pushed through the material.
Princess Slip Useful.
The wardrobe of nearly every girl
will boast of a princess slip this sum
mer. Tt will prove an exceedingly use
| ful garment and Is designed for wear
with frocks of net and sheer trans
parent materials.
It will be fashioned from flowered
silk, soft messnline In all the pale
tones, or from lawn or mercerized ma
terials.
It Is rut on long graceful lines and
I At* the figure snugly. When worn ex
! cluslvely with net or mousseline frocks
j for evening It Is usually made with
elbow sleeves and a low rounded neck.
Hut when worn with day frocks long
j tight sleeves and high neck may be
utilized.
j There may be a plaited or gathered
flounce finishing the skirt put on with
a heading of heavy lace Insertion, al
though In these days of scanty aklrta a
deep hem would probably be more In
order.
The slip is fastened down the back
with small flat crochet buttons.
To Prevent Chafed Heels.
Women with narrow heels frequent
ly have trouble with ready made foot
wear. The shoe rides up at the heel
and a painful blister occurs, which ef
fectively cripples one for the time be
ing. This is especially true of low
shoes.
To prevent it with your next pair
cut a few inches from a piece of old
velvet, or get a bit of velvet ribbon to
fit between the heel and the shoe. It
can be either tacked into place or
pasted. This renders the heel com
fortable without lessening the size of
the shoe, which Is the disadvantage of
the felt sole.
ALL CHINA BOWS TO TODDLER.
Babe Three Years Old Rules Over
430,000,000 People in the
Far East.
New York.—Three years old and the
unconscious master of 430,000,000
souls! A mere babe, crying for the
babies of toyland, yet 400 times a mil
lion men, women and children must
bow If be but show bis chubby face.
Born to a world already conquered,
that is the position of this tiny son of
heaven, nephew of the late emperor,
who, on November 3 last, was formally
elevated to the throne of China. Em

sand cannon and a tremendous volley
of bombs and fireworks announced his
accession to the throne. He clung to
bis father, wailing piteously for bis
nurse, and that father, regent of the
vast empire, during his son’s minor
ity. bade the little lad be brave.
Two thousand wise and great men
of the kingdom then passed before
the innocent monarch and bowed at
his feet. The little man grew still at
this strange procession, probably won
dering if It was some new game
planned for his amusement. And out*
side the palace messengers, wires and
papers spread the newa that the 430
millions had a new emperor.
Then the toddler was taken back to
his nursery and his carefully Inspect

hangs over that palace. And now. 1
from this day forth until he reach his
majority. If so fortunate he be as to
live to that day. he will be an emperor
in name, but by dally life an Idol to

HEADS BRITISH HOME FLEET.
Admiral May Entered Navy of Hia
Country in 1863, and Reached
Flag Rank in 1801.
London.—Admiral May, who haa
succeeded Admiral Lord Charles Berea
ford as commander of the British
home fleet, entered the British navy la
Admiral May.
1863 and served in the Arctic expedi
tion In 1875-76. He reached the flag !
rank In 1901. commanded the Atlantic j
fleet In 1905-6. and, since the latter
year, has been second sea lord on that [
board of admiralty of which Sir John i
Fisher is the actual chief. How far 1
Admiral Fisher has approved the j
financial starvation of the navy, which {
has been steadily in progress during 1
that period. Is a point which cannot
be determined by the fact of his mem
bership on the board.
The home fleet, over which Sir Wil
liam May Is now to preside, is prin
cipally manned with crews inadequate
for the ships, unless the reserves of
men are first mobilized, and this mob
ilization has never yet been effected |
without ten weeks* secret notice. Vi
tally needed repairs have also been
neglected, postponed and “patched"
to such an extent that a large part
of the navy In home waters la now
said to be unfit for war.
Fox Shark Eats 'Em Alive.
Overland to Nome, Alaska, from
Cape Blossom and Point Barrow are
coming strange stories of a marine
terror to fishermen.
The annual disappearance of many
of the native Kyak hunters haa been
traced to the raids of carnivorous and
partly amphibious fox sharks, com
monly known as thrashers, who patrol
the coast line from Bristol bay to the
mouth of the McKenzie river.
In a recent hunt for seals nearly a
dozen young native hunters lost their
lives by being attacked In their skin
boats by these sea monsters.

SAVING PAINT MONEY
It Cannot Be Done by Using Cheap
Material and Cheap Painters.
In arranging for painting, a good
many property-owners try to save
money by employing the painter who
offers to do the job cheapest—or try
to save money by insisting on a low
priced paint. But no property-owner
would run such risks If he realized
what must be taken into considera
tion In order to get a job that will
wear and give thorough satisfaction.
No houseowner will go wrong on
the painting question If he writes Na
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building. New York, for their House
owner’s Painting Outfit No. 49, which
Is sent free. It is a complete guide
to painting. It Includes a book of
color schemes for either exterior or
interior painting, a book of specifica
tions, and an instrument for detecting
adulteration In paint materials.

Question of the Hour.
"We are really at a loss to know
how to punish Earle,” she said. "We
have tried all the punishment In our
kindergarten list without effect. We
have reasoned with him and told him
that he will cease to be our pretty pet
and will grow up to be a bad, bad
man. and—”
“Madam.” interrupted the gentleman
of the old school, who was visiting
them, “you will find on the trunk In
my room a very excellent strap that
I shall not need temporarily.”
But, of course, he didn't know any
thing about modern methods.
