TO KEEP KNITTING NEEDLES.

“ vt nat a pretty bag you have!” exclaimed one member of the busy group. " t/o show us what you have in it,’’ she added. “Only my knitting,” was the reply. ''Just look aud see how ranch I have done on this sweater.” She opened her bag and took out the mass of silvery gfay wool, but, for tho moment, her friends were, far more interested in the new TTag than they were in her accomplishments with the knitting needles. It was a pretty thing of cretonne, a soft, misty bine in effect, and was long, rather than broad, like so many knitting bags. The curious part of "it was that the top'was attached to a frame USo that of a purse, fastening with a clasp. The hag was made of two good sized squares of tho cretonne and the irame, which was rather larger than thiU of most purses, was fastened to L - ,e t»ag across one corner. Or, rather one corner of the bag was cut RO that it would fit, when shirred, upon the frame, perhaps that is a better wav of describing it. “ You see, it was very easily made,” she concluded, putting down" the bag she had been describing and goin"- on with her knitting. “ and this top frame acompiishes one excellent thing; it prevents my needles from stravjng awav, as they used to do sometimes, when J walked abroad with my knitting, it really is a relief to know that thev are right with ray work, when I want them. —American Journal.
