A PERPUMED COUCH
How Nv Lady May Rest On
a Veritable Bed Of
Roses.
AFTER THE BALL IS ovER
New Diversion for Fashions Tired
Votaries-To Keep Gowns Free
From Wrinkles.
AFTER THE BALL is OVER

A dainty woman who has a passion
for the elusive odor Of heliotrope has
evolved for herself an idea whereby
She can impregnate her belongings at
light expense, and very satisfactory,
says the Philadelphia Press. From two
clean packing boxes she had made two
boxes Of another shape.
One was six feet long by eighteen
inches or so deep, and about thirty-six
inches wide Another was made just
as long and just as wide. but not quite
so deep. Both boxes were made quite
strong, and one, the deepest had short
strong legs finished with casters. This
deepest box was lined with wrapping
paper. and over this a lining of pale
blue silesia was tackled. For the bottom
of this box three sachets were made
which formed a soft bottom, and this
was thoroughly scented with her favor
lite odor.
The second or shallow box had its
bottom also covered with a large sachet
or padded lining, and the top was UP
holstered with springs and filing. Then
the two boxes were Joined together, one
above the other, by three stout hinges.
A piece of tapestry cloth was plated
around the edge of the lower box, and
tackled with gimps falling in a rich val
ence to the floor.
The upper box was covered smoothly
over the upholstering and the edge
that touched the lower one was also
finished with gimp. Several attractive
pillows completed the outside arrange
ment, and a very artistic couch was the
result. A bunch of tassels at either
outside corner served to lift the uphol-
stored top revealing a receptacle for
gowns and wraps where they could rest
in scented seclusion, with immunity
from creases or brushes, as the box
was fashioned with sufficient length tc
admit Of their being laid in without g
fold. Any carpenter could make the
boxes, and the upholstering will cost
but a little. the tapestry being the most
expensive, but any other material pre-
ferred could be substituted, thus bring
ing the cost even lower.

FOR HANGING GOWNS.
wrs. Cora Potser's idea for Keeping
wrinkles from Elaborate Gowns.

Wrinkles from ofatp go
From the fertile brain of Mrs. Cora
Urquhart Potter has ernanated an idea
fer a continuance for hanging elaborate
gowns. 1t is likely to gain popularity
among women whose wardrobes include
dinner and ball gowns, which require
more than ordinary care.
Mrs. Potter's c~ontrivance solves also
the problem Of how to keep big sleeves
unwrinkled. Her scheme has been adj
mired and used to advantage by those
who have seen it IN ond and Paris,
and now New York is ready to see it and
improve on it with true American in
genuity. 1t is made of light wood and
is about twelve feet long and nine feet
high. 1t has a canopy, curtains, n a
carpet or rug of stiff muslin. There are
two rows of hooks set at intervals, easily
accommodating the spreaders for the
large sleeves. 1t will hold about four
teen gowns, giving each one ample room,
with no ance of mussing or crushing.
These affairs might be converted into
pretty accessories for a feminine sane
tum. Suppose the frame were of white
enamel with its delicate traceries of gold,
with hin or cretonne curtains of white,
introducing the Empire or Louis designs
to carry out the order Of the room.
while its value IS unlimited, and every
woman can readily see 1t.
Mrs. Potter has an excellent arrang
ment for for Carrying ar + ,, heE h 9ss se while t aasi,1-
sively to them. Square frames made to
fit the trunk have four cloth straps to
which the hat is pinned. These frames
are then slid in SO the crowns OF the
and are therefore in a position without
touching any point. Exchange.
