PARIS FASHION NOTES, [FROM OUR SPECIAL, CORRESPONDENT MAKRI HAMSAT.]

-Pass, October 30th. Handbags are going to be larger, this Besson than they have been for some time. The Parisian handbag has been for so long a dainty reticule which has been redaced to its smallest limit of expression that women who like to carry with them a comfy bag into which they can crowd, not only purse and powder puff, but small parcels, odd pa pers, and a host of articles annumerous and various as those which bulge to bursting point the pocket of the average small boy, will welcome this change, Some of the new modals are almost square in shape, and are made of soft Russian leather in scarlet and royal blus tones. A leather handle that combines 'neatness with strength is added; likewiad, a strong, though decorative, lining to tone with the colour of the leather chosen. For shopping and travelling, these bags have much to recommend them.

Made in the same square shape, but rather daintier and more elegant, is a new design that is carried out in alternate strips of pleated suede and taffetas. In black or black and grey the effect is very charming.

Far bagi constitate one of the crazes of the moment, especially when they are carried out in monkey für. When a mixture of black and white is chosen or a wariety that has been dyed a greany-grey shade, the bizarre effect thus created is all the more appreciated by elegantes. These bags are made in a sporran shape and are mount- ed with clampe in tortoise shell, finished off with a Yab of amber or crystal People with clever fingers who cannot afford sach laxeries a monkey fur, can turn laft-over bi's of far from a remodelled coat into quaint-looking bags that will be ne fashionable as the heart of woman can desire for the coming season. A dainty finish can be added by means of a bright lining, the top edges of which are covered up with a row of foral beading or handsome braid.

There are very few gold or silver chain) mesh bags to be seen these days. O.c ionally they make their appearance, but more as a pretext for showing off some thing startling in the way of expensive ness or aumthing wondrous in the way of workmanship than purely as an object of utility. The place of this form of bag worship has ben usurped for the time being by dainty Bat cases that fit into the palm of the hard or dangle from a slim chain or strap of moiré or leather. A new, shape that has just come into vogue is that of the horseshoe This is generally made up in black, black and while, or black and gray striped moiré silk; occupy ing the middle space is a plaque of white, satin, on which is akatched in black and white or black and grey, to match, some fidyll love scene or some quaint figure. If it is desired to sådan extra decorativé nota to the ensemble, the strap of moiré is replaced by loop of black silk cord finished, where it is joined on to the bag, by a couple of tassels to match

An attractive though costly-model is carried out in black or tete de negre, thick corded silk, made in the form of a pouched ssc that is mounted on to a clasp covered with the same type.cf. silk; this is "inset with targuoise, pearls or brilliants, the same stones set in platinum or gold forming a chain at either ride of the opeding, to which is attached a single strap: handle. This costly bibelot, for all its adornment, is never made bigger than a size that will just hold
