THE Guest Room

It Is by no means necessary to have
a complete outfit Of toilet articles on
the dressing table, but there are few
the presence of which will save a guest
unpacixing her own things for q short
stay. A powder box is heavy to put
into a bag. and will not be needed II
of the usual puff or pad there may be
small squares of unhemmed, new
cheesecloth or antiseptic gauze. The
advantage Of either of these over puff
one on their faces, for fear OF skin
The squares need be not more than
four inches large, and IL put by the
powder box their purpose will be un-
derstood.
Another toilet article to be. provided
is hand mirror. As rule these are
so awkward to carry that many women
going merely for the night or a couple
of days do not take one, and so, if
none is provided, miss 1t greatly: A
clothes brush on the dressing table is
a necessity. II a hostess wishes to add
10 the equipment suggested. she may
of course do so, but it is a mistake
to so cover a dressing table top that
no place is left for the guests own
articles.
A second luxury is a stand for the
trunk, raising IT a couple of feet from
the floor so that when a woman delves
in for a garment she is not obliged to
lean way over, as is essential when the
trunk is fat on the floor. Women who
visit often know that a comfortable
room for stranger is the exception,
largely through thoughtlessness, and
the fact that the hostess has never
occupied ii herself TO test its arrange
ments. A place that is well arranged
and equipped remains firmly implanted
in the mind and the hostess Is likely
TO be more popular among those who
visit her.
The things already suggested for a
guestroom are well within the means
Of the most limited purse and none is
superhuous There is no use having a
friend to visit IL she can not be made
comfortable When the room and in
come both are large enough TO increase
the list of articles a lounge is one
OF the first luxuries to be provided.
Every one realizes that 1t is nuisance
and Inconvenience TO take off the cover

his back, and then he was cast on the
floor, and in a rain of glass pitched
up and down, until the bus came to a
standstill close to Sherman, Clay & Co. s
window. He was removed to the ho-
tel and medical assistance was sum-

a porter. Clyde Reed According to
the chauffeur, and his story Is corrob-
GRATED by Reed and Moore, he received
q signal from north bound Kearny
street car to go ahead, when he was
struck by the south bound car.
At the time of the accident three
cars We're gathered at the corner. A
west bound Sutter street car hid from
the view of the driver of the bus the
south bound car on Kearny street. The
motorman Of a north bound Kearny
street car signaled for the chauffeur to
go ahead, which signal the motorman
on the south bound car also saw and
took as intended for himself.
CHAUFFEUR BADLY SHAKEN
When Brenner proceeded past the Sut-
ter street car on his right he dis
covered that he was about to collide
with the south bound car. He attempted
to steer his bus in the opposite direc-
tion, but was met by the oncoming
car, which was in charge of Motorman
A Erickson and II. Scharch, conductor.
Policeman L. c. Clark, who happened
on the scene at the time, rushed to
the assistance of occupants of the bus.
With his aid Moore was extricated
from the splinters, fallen glass and
smashed up tinlbers of the machine.
Brenner was badly shaken up, but not
seriously injured. Clyde Reed, the
porter, also escaped injury. None on
the colliding car was injured.

A Fad In Hair Ornaments-With the
present fad for empire evening
gowns special hair ornaments of the
period are naturally being worn by
fashionable women. These ornaments
have appeared in jewels, curled feath-
ers and satin and velvet ribbons. Re-
Gently an empire tiara was observed
that attracted considerable attention
toward its wearer. The dainty orna-
ment consisted of two wing shaped
having in the center long sprays Of
leaves set with the same jewels. Ar
ranged among mass of empire curls
this novel design for tiara was ex.
the empire period necklets, pendants
and corsage ornaments also of the
period are being worn this season.
Some one has suggested the in
genious idea of transforming old fash =
Toned furniture into convenient clothes
closets. For instance. bookcase,
either in walnut or mahogany, having
glass doors, is the best kind of a cup
board to use for a clothes press. An
old secretary with cupboard top is ex-
cellent for the same purpose and takes
into a serviceable closet.
To fix over such a piece of furniture
around the top hooks should be
screwed to hang the clothes on. Their
size depends upon the depth of the
case, but Of course the bigger they are
the better.
Against the doors inside secure a
rod at top and bottom and attach either
figured or plain curtains. These will
view and will make of the closet an
ornamental piece of furniture that may
be put into the parlor when the num-
Der Of roms is limited, and no stranger
will ever suspect it's real use.
