Some Conveniences For Travel Both
on Land and by Water.
Until women accept and adopt the
convenience of mans many pockets
they will never be really advanced"
As it is now, women carry their valu-
ables in little hand bags which are easi-
ly lost and always a temptation to
thieves, their handkerchiefs are tucked
In their sleeves and their money in
their stockings or in those insecure lit
tie purses fastened to their garters, so
that the list Of lost and found" grows
daily in the papers.
When but one pocket is made it is
apt to sag, because it is generally over
loaded, but when a dress is made in
strict tailor style and properly fitted
with many pockets, each adapted to its
own burden, their presence could not
even be suspected. Such suits need not
be ugly. 1t all depends upon the way
the pockets are set in and where. A
suit intended for travelling either in the
mountains or anywhere away from the
comforts of home should be so con-
structed as to afford a convenient re-
ceptacle for many things which are alb
solutely necessary and which would be
a burden too great if all were put into
even a bag slung over the shoulder.
In the illustration are two such suits.
They do not differ in appearance from
others made without pockets. The one
In the background has seven pockets,
all large enough to be useful. Under
the right side of the fold in the front
of the skirt is an opening, hidden by
small hooks and eyes, and beneath it is
q pocket six inches wide by eighteen
inches deep. Another Of the same size
is on the left side, fastened in the same
way. Under the third plaits on each
side are two more pockets as deep and
two more under the sixth folds. All
these are made deep, so that whatever
is put in them may be hidden by the
fullness of the lower part of the skirt.
These will hold combs, brushes and the
dozen of other small necessaries.
Handkerchiefs fill one, and, in fact,
whatever one needs is there. at the
bust line under the tabs is another
pocket made Of chamois and so ar.
ranged that it buttons firmly. This is
for money and other valuables. 1t is
made in three compartments, so that
the contents will not form a bunch. II
is really not noticeable. Thus all the
weight is distributed and one can car
ry quite an array Of things unsuspect
ed A small pocket in the cape is
handy for a handkerchief. The other
suit is lifted with an abundance OF
pockets in the same way.
Mohairs in black, gray, brown OF
dark blue are better than anything fol
mountain climbing, but the water
proofed cheviots and other rain proof
materials are excellent, since they are
strong and light The trimming is gen
orally composed of tucks, folds and
perhaps a very little braid in tabs, bu
good taste would suggest something
that rain would not cause to pucker.
The question of headwear is a large
one, and each person is at liberty .tC
choose the most becoming hat, but dura
bility, after all, is a better guide, and
the vanished hats Of light straw are
the best, for even though they ar,
vanished they remain, to a certain ex
tent, porous. Wells are nuisances il
real outings, but if any one thinks she
really cannot live without a veil sh,
