ORANGE JELLY
THE
ON BEACH
SHE'S pretty, but dumb; for she's a bench bug, Her
face is made of rubberised canvas, so she's water- proof as all good bench bags should be, and will carry your wet bathing suit without dripping protests.
Opening wide, from the top of the head to the point of the cap, the bag closes with a slide fastener, and has
a large handle on her head for easy carrying. ·
The hood she's wearing, that ties under her chin in a big bow; is made of patterned silk stitched over the canvas. You can have it in this flowered design or in gay stripes, in a choice of several colourings-blue, wine, or brown being the predominating colours.
Her white canvas face, cut out in profile, has scar- Jet painted lips, and a line of stitching for hair. But the poor girl hasn't any eyes....
Though the profile and hood give the bag an amusing shape, it is really quite roomy inside, and you'll find it useful for carrying your knitting and make-up things as well as your swim suit.

It is a good plan to stuff tissue paper into the spout or neck of croc- kery or silver which is being put away for the summer. This will prevent dust settling in parts difcult to clean.

Brown paper under a carpet will prolong its life. It prevents the dust working up between the bourds and making lines on under-foll and car- net: it also saves wear of the carpet if the floor boards are at all uneven. Save all brown paper bags. They are good receptacles for dust. In- sert the mouth of the vacuum cleaner bug in the paper bag before shaking out the contents, and no dust will blow about. This is a much healthier way then emptying into a sheet of newspaper.
