BAGS OF THE SATCHEL TYPE Kara Specimen* of the Jeweler's Art Feature Engraved Gold and Sil ver and Leather. Two rare specimens of the jeweler’s art In bag making which have been Im ported to this country are of the satch el type. One has a mounting of chis eled silver, the bng Itself being of sli ver gray doeskin. The other, which la made of black undressed kid, has a platinum mounting set with sapphires and rhinestones. There Is an embroid ered design decorating one side of the bag with certain parts being paint ed In sapphire blue to match the tdue of the sapphire In the mounting. The most skilled workers in the leather Industry are now busily em bossing, carving, painting hy hand and ornamenting with metal and stones the most finely dyed and fin ished leathers. Mountings of solid gold, gold washed silver and platinum continue to be favorites for the flat leather purse and card case. To give variety tliese metal pieces, which are hammered on as borders astride the edges of leather, are sometimes skill fully engraved. Hand carving and em bossing and hand painting add a fur I ther variety to leathers which enter Into the makeup of bags. Hometpun Suit. For fall wear an exceptionally at tractive suit Is of blue homespun col lared with fitch. Its straight box coat and beautifully cut skirt are distinc tive and vastly different from the I commonplace models of the early 1 summer The three-piece suit promises to be the piece de resistance of the winter’s fashions, but It is possibly a little early for that variety of costume. Since the dress Is of heavy material and the coat Is of that same fabric, the chances are that the gown as a whole will be too heavy to serve through the fall months. However, when the time does come for Its adoption, It will he found to have more of a place In the sun than It had even during last season when It could not be said to be greatly In the shade. Some of the dresses made of per fectly plain silks and those that are heuvlly woven recommend themselves most heartily for between-season wear. They are made merely of masses of drapery. They scorn trim ming In any respect. They are built to accentuate the lines of the form and to stop at that. Many of them have been seen at the smart restaurants and upon the street, for they are the products of a late season which have recommended themselves most heart ily to the wear of women who are looking for new things and smart things at this season of the year. Here is one of the new walking dresses exhibited at a recent fashion show held in Chicago. It is in gray woolen fabric, trimmed in Japanese i print, and shows the long skirt effect of the modes of 1922, including walk ing garments. CUTS THIRD TEETH AT 114 Former Slave Is Just Learning How to Read—Born on Christ mas, 1807. St. Louis.—Ebble Talbot, a half In dian and negro woman, who says she is one hundred and fourteen years old, is exhibiting her third set of teeth, of which she now has three. She has a paper, purporting to have been written by a person where she formerly lived who was in possession of the facts, which states that sbe was bom in North Carolina on Christ mas day, 1807. Born in slavery, she says she was more than fifty years old when she was emancipated. She does all her own housework and has eared for a twenty-seven year-old paralytic since childhood Her mind and faculties are uniro paired, and with a primer and the help of a neighbor she is learning to read. She is supported by the char Ity of oeighhors and of others. GOOD FORM IN DRI SS V11L’ may have read recently of a clergyman who sent a bride home from church because of what he con sidered the Immoifesty of her dress, and another well known divine as sured the women of his parish that he would have them refused admittance to church, If they came clad in the extremes of fashion. Whether the styles of dress that these priests referred to were actually Immodest doubtless depends on the point of view. Hut that they were inap propriate to church Is unquestionable. To be dressed always in good taste ' does not necessarily mean that you must never indulge in the more ex treme forms of the fashion, but that you should wear them never where they might give offense. For instance it Is now in most localities perfectly customary for women young and old to wear low necks and short sleeves at evening entertainments. In fact In this country young, unmarried girls habitually wear lower evening gowns than their mothers—though among well bred French women, unmarried girls are not so privileged. Now since this Is customary It Is not In bad taste, because It attracts no undue attention and causes no mis Judginent. The same thing holds true in regard to bathing costumes. Had women worn the sort of bathing suits that they do now ten or twenty years ago, they would have been hooted off the beaches. But times have changed und our bathing costumes have changed most emphatically. It does not mean l that we have grown more lax. Doubt less the tightly laced, exaggerated figure of two decades ago would give more offense to the modern taste than the rather abbreviated bathing cos tumes. It Is all a question of what we ar# used to. (Copyright.) -O Substantiated Claim. Many pleas come to the Treasury department for the redemption of money uud Liberty bonds destroyed in various ways, and the department has to have a full statement lu each j case, authenticated and verified. As ! sistant Secretary Gilbert, who has general supervision in such matters, had laid on his desk a letter prepared by an under official and to be sent to a farmer. The farmer had complained that the cow had consumed a few hun dred dollars’ worth of Liberty bonds. The letter asked a few pertinent ques tions as to the destruction of this val uable paper, one of which was: “Why did the cow eat the bonds?" Back came the answer to the effect that It was a distinctive cow and had al ways had a decided liking for disfluo five paper. The claim was paid. liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiii I MOSAIC TEMPLARS I | OF AMERICA | | A Negro Fraternal Insurance Concern | = A Business Organized May 22, 1883, by Negroes and for Negroes—Has Been Officered = and Controlled bv Negroes from the date of its bij th—Managed on = = Sound Business Principals. == 1 Assets More Than $750,000.00 Membership 100,000 || =§ OPERATING IN 26 STATES, SOUTH AMERICA.

The glint of sun, the welcome rain. And then comes night. A peaceful rest at set of sun, A welcome home when work la done, And life’s all right. A time to meet., a time to part; Friends come and go. Hand clasping hand, heart heatg to heart, Conies Joy, comes woe. The radiant light of clear blue skies. The welcome gleam of children’s eyes, Make hearts grow light.

EARRINGS VCGUE IN PARIS Long Crystal Drops Particularly Fa vored—Pearl Tassels, Antique Designs, Onyx Used. Earrings are decidedly in vogue In Paris. The long crystal drops are particularly fan red, more so than rings or hoops. There Is a clever trick among French women of wearing one earring —a long one—dangling down over the shoulder, and the other ear without any decoration. Pearl tassels are favorite earrings. Of course, the idea la to have ear rings for each costume, and sometimes women have more than one pair for a favorite frock. These harmonize in color and design with both the frocks with which they are to he used. There Is a vogue for wearing euW rings containing little portraits in min lature—of anybody one wishes, of course. With the present vogue for white. Jade earrings of this lovely stone are of course In high favor. Old earrings of gold and sliver are In demand and ancestral Jewel eases as well as antique shops are being called on for thPin. There are some earrings made of onyx, set with pearls, that are tre mendously effective. And with the revival of coral, any thing of coral may be worn In the way of earrings. Brilliant Buttonry. Buttons of wood, brilliantly hand painted, lend the needed touch of color to some of the new frocks, wraps and blouses. Originality finds expression In accessories of attire this season, as never before. Nothing too startling, nothing too undreamed of; provided always that Its use Is as unwarranted and as unrestrained In a way as the Idea la unique. Tight-Fitting Sleeves. In contradistinction to the wide, flowing sleeve effects that are current now, the dresses of newest conception from abroad adopt the simple, tlght flttlng sleeves of the tailor-made type of garment. Tilts handling was noted In cloth tailored dresses, and again In soft silk and velvet modes. ) READ WHAT YOUR FRIENDS have to say of what Madam E.
