CONCEALED POCKETS.
They Are Very Useful for Carrying
NnIunblea.


Precaution is the one thing necessary
for the woman who takes her holiday trav-
cling, unless she be anxious TO lose her
valuables. She must have them with her
all the time: but how? Her fashionable
dress this summer denies her even a pock-
et-unless in the somewhat inaccessible
regions of the hem-but the alternative of
pockets in her undergarments is specially
recommended.
A slit is cut at the side of the petticoat
and bound on both sides with tape, a but
ton and a lap or loop are added, and the
front part is complete. Just behind this is
placed the bag" intended for the jewels,
money, and what not of value. It is made
OF stout white linen. and is securely sewn
to the skirt edge to edge, so that the front
slit forms the entrance to its depths, and
there it snugly reposes away from any dan
ger OF being picked.
In the outward underskirt If the paradox
may be allowed, there is another series of
pockets placed. These run around the back
and even the sides, If one has much to
carry. They are called portmonnaies, and
have very Frenchy little gathering of
ribbon in them to hold the valuable things
from harm. The rows are all made of grey
canvas stitched on very carefully and lined
with chamois skin. They are shallow and
about the length of banknote. which is
what they are intended for.
The laps are bound with silk braid and
stitched in colors. and are tied with rib
bon runs to keep them from bulging too
much and TO make them follow, as far
as may be, the fulling Of the drop skirt
at this point. The corset is even fur
nished with two pockets. each of suede,
TO match the color of the corset. They
are firmly sewn to the stays, with only
the button flaps left open for inserting
small valuables. Even the hose have their
upper edge or hem arranged to accommo-
date the rings or any small article of value.

injunction which was recently issued
