Materials.—Eich velvet, gold braid, and soutache,satin, and the Mathilde trimmings, consisting of a giltclasp, ornamental cords, and very handsome tassels. Bags being once more very much in vogue,we have great pleasure in presenting our read-ers with one of the newest and prettiest designs.The bag is made of velvet, with a band betweenthe two sides, about an inch wide along thebottom, but gradually narrowing to half thatwidth at the sides. In the centre, a piece of the velvet, in the form of a Maltese cross, is cut out,and satin being gummed underneath it, shinesthrough. The edges of the velvet, where theyjoin the satin, are covered with gold braid. Therest of the design is worked in some rich fancysoutache. The tassels are of the richest passementerie,the drawing giving no correct idea of their beau-ty. The bag must be lined with white silk. 190 godeys ladys book and magazine, Ao oa
