The r ;illy chic woman orders a bag to ac company each one of her many toilets. There are several new models, and new This s. on a 1. ternili'.ins f ictor Is i leathers are Introduced. Perhaps tne greatest novelty In hand bags la the hand embroidered moire bag. A charming example of this branch of art Is to be found In the pompadour model which forms the center of attraction in the group of pictured on this page. This bag was aesiiir.ed to be carried with an afternoon costume and is of black moire silk embroidered with clusters of roses. It is lined with bois de rose Filk. Th,Is new nuance is a delightful shade that combines the charms of the La France and American Beauty roses. It is a color used this season not only as a hifi light, but as a "whole cos tume" medium. To stpp digressing and to come back to the pompadour bog. this little piece of feminine apparel has two compart ments and is fitte'd with mirror, vanity outfit and a change purse. It is an altogether delectable possession for the up to date girl. and. let tne wbjf per It softly, no young man couid go tar wjong if he gave auch a bag as this to his "very best glrL", . He won't find it an inexpensive remembrance. but she'll think It a "dear" and the donor will get his share of glory as well. When a less ornamental bag is re quired the same model in a plain or Ktrlped moire Is exceedingly smart and attractive. A stunning bag of black moire trimmed with steel studded white kid is Illustrated. The shape Is very Interesting. Unusual attention tins been centered on the frames of the new bags, and probably the most conspicuous typo among the smart styles is the cigar case design. This frame is equally at tractive either in nickel or gilt when combined with black or colored leath ers. The clsar case affnlr. so named from its close resemblance to a mans receptacle for holding the weed, is per fectly flat when closed. It has a. roomy Interior and has a liberal number of compartments, several of wli.ch con tain the regulation number of vanity fittings. The envelope shaped hand bag Is still In strong demand, and the very long and slim model is considered the height of smartness this fall. It Is beautifully lined with moire silk, but. of course, the space is too limited for anything save utility compartments such as change and bill partitions. In dressy bags the balloon type is the best ! suede. Quite different, but even newer than some, of this bass that are to be seen in the shops. Is the bedside bag. It mer.sures half a yard from the spread ing fan shaped base to the mouth of this metal frame into which the finely grained leather is shirred. Into its ci'pneious depth may be concculed an almost incredible number of small ar ticles that otherwise, would take up room on the night tabic. The bag has a Ions leather strap attached below the clasp that Is stitched together six inches above It. This plrap is used for hanging It to the bedside. A bag of this description made of silk or any substantial material Is a boon to the tired house -keeper when she gives up to her "nerves" and betakes herself to bed for a day's rest. It's a convenient place in which to deposit her purse, her memorandum tablet, her handkerchief, the smail piece of fancy work to quiet her fra.zlcd nerves and whatever cards and letters are brought to the bedside of the Invalid. If one wants to be very dainty the bedside bag may be of lingerie material match ing one s negligee and cup. A bag stury would be Inoompleto without a description f the new stocking purse. This very intimate tritle is an inch wide band of suede kid lined with the same shade of silk, finished at the udges with rows of ma chine stitching, '-rpnn this' strap ire arranged tbree bhnllow purses at furnished with metal clasping liked. Indeed, the trade has dubbed this model the bag of extreme impor tance. A delightful example of this bag is seen in the hands of one of the figures pictured. It is a black velvet affair and . when open looks very much like a workbag, having a round frame, but closed it is not unlike the pompa dour bags. The other full length figure Is carry ing an exquisite black velvet bag to match the velvet collar, buttons and hat of a stunning trotting costume of tobacco brown cloth. envelope flaps. The center purse Is sufficiently large to hold doubled over banknotes. ... -d nt either end are two square purse for holding small Jewelry and coins. There is a garter portion extending several Incbcs beyond the purses that fastens securely to the garter In buckle prong and eyelet style. There is no possibility of the stocking purse revealing its identity to the unsympathetic public gaze, and in every way the old "Male bank" ia "beaten a mile," as the boys say.

In kimono style. For practical wear in the morning the bishop sieeve Is the favorite, but for afternoon wear the newest blouses do not seem to have any sleeves at all. At the waist they are made so loose and baggy that they fall over the belt in folds that have a decidedly untidy appearance. Of course such blouses are made of extremely soft materials, and they are almost invariably cut low in the neck. It becomes more and more the fash Ion to display the throat freely, and al ready this fashion shows good results. Women are paying special attention to the throat outline, even more attention than when they have to consider it In connection with evening corsages.

A folded pad of news paper is the best thing to .use. and If this is sprinkled with a few drops of ammonia or paraffin It will serve for window cleaning also. When windows are to be washed they should be dusted first with the newspaper pad if very dusty. In this way the cleaning and polishing will be more easily done. A teaspoonful of ammonia or paraffin to each half gal lon of warm water makes a good solu tion, or cold water end washing blue may be tried. Chamois leather is ex cellent for the final polishing. In frosty weather methylated spirit is useful, or the newspaper pad may be sprinkled with paraffin and no water at all used. Windows must never be cleaned when the sun is shining on them, and all cloths used must be free from lint Experience seems to prove that differ ent kinds of glass respond to different methods of cleaning, but In every case newspaper or tissue paper pads are recommended' for the final polish and a sprinkle of paraffin will make the ef fect more satisfactory. A window brush is useful for clean ing the outside of downstairs windows. Its long broom handle should have a metal socket at the end. into which an other similar handle fits, for cleaning the upper panels. With this and a pail of blued water the lower windows are readily, cleaned, but they must be well rinsed. Splashes of paint which have hardened on the windows may be removed by means of hot vinegar or a strong solution of washing soda. aJ paste made with whiting and powdered ; ammonia mixed with a littie water is effective. It must be put on thickly and left on the paint spots until quite dry. then washed off with soap and water. As a last hint It may be well to say that lacquered curtain rods used for : windows which are kept open are soon corroded if, there Is much dampness, but this can be prevented for a long time by rubbing the roi'.s frequently with a soft, dry cloth and with furni ture cream each time the curtains are changed. Sash cords also neefl attention. Their durability may be increased and the vexation of a broken cord postponed for a long time by rubbing them every now and then with a tallow (not wax) candle warmed slightly to soften It- If the old fashioned tallow "dip" is not within reach a ery little lard or fat may be used, provided it is absolutely free from salt, which would rot the cord.
