WOMEN MAY REJOICE
POCKETS ARE BACK Pockets are back again in feminine clothes. But not, contrary to masculine hopes, because women have become economically minded about their hand-bags. For, although autumn suits have more pockets than any man would dare to own, in nearly every case the wearer has a portmanteau-sized hand-bag as well. Even a few of the new evening gowns have pockets—not tucked modestly away in the petticoat and reached through "a placket-hole as they would have been 50 years ago, but in full view of the public eye. Some of the velvet dresses recently shown in London had two enormous pockets,- one filled with a lace handkerchief, on each side of the skirt.
