THE LAMPASAS DAILY LEADER
TO MAKE PRETTY BAG
(ONE THAT WILL BE SERVICE-
ABLE FOR MANY YEARS.
Ability to Do Only a Plain Knitting
Stitch Is Necessary—May Be
Made of Black or Colored
Silk.
I saw a knitted, beaded bag which
the owner told me was at least twen-
ty-five years old. It was so pretty
but so simple that any girl who know’s
how to do the plain knitting stitch
could make one like it.
This bag was made entirely in
black, but one could use a colored
silk with white beads, or beads in
gold or silver. One needs a spool of
(knitting silk, a pair of steel needles
and several bunches of beads. To
make the bag, cast on say one hun-
dred and 6ight stitches, and knit back
the second row plain. Break off the
silk and thread on about three feet
of beads, choosing those that go
through the silk easily but not loose-
ly. If the holes are too small, the
(beads will wear the silk, while, if
loose, they will stand away from the
silk. Tie the spool end and the loose
'end of the silk together at end of
second row and start the third row.
(Knit off the first two stitches and
|then knit a bead into every stitch
|all the way across except the two
end stitches. These are plain.
The fourtfi. row is knitted plain all
.'the way back.
The fifth row: Knit in the beads as
(the third row, and come back plain.
Then go on knitting alternate plain
|and beaded rows until the piece of
work is half its width. It is impossi-
ble to give the exact number of
(inches, because some knit tighter than
others, but when the piece is folded
lonce it should be a square. Also,
do not forget to leave two rows of
jplain stitches at each end and two
jrows of plain knitting at the begin-
ning and the end of the work. This
Pretty Silk Handbag.
i •' '
jplain, narrow strip makes the seams
(when the bag is sewed up) strong,
(flat and firm. The bottom can be
(finished with a fringe of beads.
Cut the lining to fit, and catch it in
(with the bag seams. This will keep
'the lining from slipping. At the top
‘Of the bag make a heading of silk, bro-
cade or satin, about three inches deep
(to draw strings of ribbon.
Any size bag may be made to suit
the taste of the knitter. If a larger
[pr a smaller bag than the one de-
'scribed is desired, set on less or more
'stitches and knit until the work
doubled makes a square.
! More than three feet of beads will
jbe necessary, of course, but one must
(always take care to get the join of
(the silk at one end, not when working
the row across.
Then the loose ends or knots can be
(taken into the seam. I fancy the
(knots which come so frequently pre-
rvent the knitting being done on three
(needles, as one would form a stocking,
(going around and around until the bag
were the desired length. This would
jbe quite as easy as knitting with twcr
‘needles, and would also do away with
(the seam down the side.
HOW TO PREVENT FRECKLES
Simple Precautions Will Do Much for
the Pretty Throat, Face
and Hands.
Kindly Old Sol is not always wel-
come in the kingdom of woman. Those
who know hygiene to some degree un-
derstand that the blazing gentleman’s
beams are cures for many ills. On the
other hand, there are the afflictions he
casts upon the coquette, freckles, tan,
Inflammation, streaked hair and what
not; so, weighing his faults against
Tiis virtues, with summer on us, we
may think with advantage of his dis-
agreeable features.
Let us begin with freckles, those
rtmy blemishes so disfiguring to a
pretty throat, face and hands. Ac-
cording to theory, it is not the sun
which causes freckles, but the light
ifrom its electrical rays; and it is the
difference in the chemical makeup
'of their skins which causes these
iirays to affect some so much more
GROUP OF FOREIGN PARASOLS
Parasols of this season are of de-
cidedly new and striking designs.
This is particularly true of those com-
ing from Europe. There are many
brilliant colorings, and they are ex-
pected to match, or at least harmon-
ize, with the brilliant street gowns.
seriously than others. So for these
thin-skinned fair ones the ounce of
prevention is the first thing to con-
sider. Those who freckle easily
should always keep a red-brown veil
on hand to wear on summer outings
on land or water, for a veil in any
other color is no use at all, this and
this alone, being able to ward off the
burning electrical rays.
Then, before going forth, the easily
freckled skin should be welt rubbed
with cold cream and powdered, for
with this mask and the plain chiffon
or gauze veil—shun the dotted one as
you would a viper—it is possible to
get through a yachting or fishing ex-
cursion without serious damage.
Nevertheless, every night for all sea-
sons of the year, the skin susceptible
to freckles should be massaged with
a good cream, for any exercise which
helps to stimulate the skin also helps
to avert or cure the blemish, whatever
its nature.
But if the freckle comes to stay with
you, notwithstanding precautions, try
this simple lotion, applying it several
times a day with a soft linen rag:
Lactic acid.................4 ounces
Glycerine ..................2 ounces
Rose water ................1 ounce
Elder flower cream can be used to
advantage with this or any freckle
specific containing the acid needed
to bleach the skin.
Tan and acute inflammation of the
skin are caused by the same influences
that produce freckles, the direct ex-
posure to sun, the reflection of light on
water, the glare of a wide-open win-
dow, hot winds, etc. The cure for
each begins, as before, with the ounce
of prevention. Wear the red-brown
veil when jaunting on land and water,
don’t sit close to a wide-open window
unless the shade is drawn down below
the shoulders, and prepare the skin al-
ways with cold cream and powder be-
fore going out.
Simple home remedies for tan and
also freckles are to wash the face in
fresh buttermilk or in a horse radish
lotion made as follows: Into a cup-
ful of sour milk scrape a teaspoonful
of freshly dug and grated horse rad-
ish; let it stand six hours and ther
apply two or three times daily.
PRETTY IDEAS IN COSTUMES
Combinations Give Distinction to the
Wearer—Advantages of the Gored
Skirt Are Many.
A pretty gown of casement cloth is
combined with a fine and soft printed
cretonne. The casement cloth is in
periwinkle blue, the cretonne has a
buff ground almost hidden with clus-
tering periwinkle-colored flowers and
green foliage, and through all runs a
line of black. It is further enhanced
by black buttons and a sash of draped
black braid tied in a clever bow.
The gored skirt gives scope for all
sorts of styles, and is certainly a most
sensible one for those who cling to a
closely fitted outline of hip and yet
like the fullness of the lower skirt. A
very pretty black ninori and taffeta
frock is thus arranged, the ninon
pulled into confining bands of taffeta,
the yoke itself being of the taffeta em-
broidered with scattered flowers In
many colors, and a quaint cravat be-
ing formed of a host of narrow rib-
bons matching them, tied in a pio-
turesque bow.

Is girlish In simplicity, with a jaunty
Eton jacket in plain blue taffeta. A
little color is introduced In two bead-
ed medallions on the jacket and on
each sash end falling at the side.
