ORANGE JELLY
THE
ON BEACH
SHE'S pretty, but dumb; for she's a beach bag. Her face is made of rubberised canvae, 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 paint 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.
C
Her white canvas face, cut out in profle, 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.
