More like the typical dressing bag of
the Englishwoman is the smaller over
night bag illustrated. This bag. or, prop
erly speaking, ease" is very compact in
size. and provides space only for a tightly
folded nightgown of sheer, soft material
and perhaps a fresh collar for the morn
ing. Small, well equipped bags of this
sort are especially liked by women who
take short trips in motor cars. The more
bulky luggage. in the shape of suit cases
and grips. may be sent forward by ex-
press, while the convenient little dress

dainty freshening up, is always at hand

had in dark calf or seal, in pigskin, or, If

from ten 10 twenty pieces, lnciGClnS all
the manicure implements, boxes and
TASKS needed for a complete toilet; and
each separate piece is engraved with the
owners monogram. OF course, the over
night bag is always provided with a Sc
cure lock, the key of which is carried by
tile owner Of the bag or by her maid. The
toilet belongings are usually arranged
around the inner edge of the bag or suit
case, each article being thrust under a
stitched strap or pocket which is attached,
not to the bag itself but to removable
false side" of stiff leather covered with
the material which lines the dressing bag.
This long strip, with its attached toilet
belongings, may be lifted out and laid,
ready to hand on the dresser when the

To Preserve Silk Stockings.

thread SILK stockings keep the feet from

the chief trouble is with the tops
wnere broken threads cause the hose to
ravei In unsishtly 'runaways' all the
way down the side. This is especially
provoking in the case of silk stockings to
be worn with bathing suits. To prevent
this breaking of the silk threads the gar
fers should be attached. not to the top
OF the stocking, but to short tape loops
sewed 10 the edge. Black tape half an
inch wide should be used and the garter
may be hooked through the loop

The cartoonist is not the only man who
is gaining a reputation for cleverness at
the expense OF the "peach basket" hat
The maitre d'hotel of hostelry in New
York is running him a close second. A
society woman recently went into this
place for luncheon wearing one Of the
new pieces of millinery that are face
tiously referred to as the peach-basket
variety. The waiter took a mental note
OF the style OF the headsear in which she
appeared, and the next time this fair
patron dropped in for midday refresh
ment she found on the table to which she
was assigned confectionery reproduction
Of her hat.
1t is becoming quite a fad among hotel
chefs and caterers 10 adorn their tables
with creations which combine the art of
the confectioner and the millner. At
private dinner and luncheon parties bou-
tonnieres and often the after-dinner cof-
fee cups and saucers are souvenir affairs
carried out in confectionery that exactly
represents the real things.

cided to approve the bill--with mental
reservations and such report was

Although Hally drew up his meas
ure by direction OF tho council. he evf>
IDENTIFY went farther than he had been
expected to 20. When the committee
met. at HalIy's request. to look the
bill over the aldermen found little
srots sticking up all around that they
did not like. Particularly were they
opposed TO separation Of municipal
from general elections.
I'VE would have to close all stores
and factories TO get enough people out
to vote at the municipal elections"
declared Ala. Grindley.

others also took crack at this pro-
vision. and even Aid. Tossy said thar.
as public Official, he was against II.
although he might favor 1t on the
broad ground or citizenship.
| More knocking came up over the
section forbidding more than two spe-
cial elections In a year. Aid. Heine-
man pointed out how this might incon-
venience Detroit.
Finally the committee decided to
approve Of the Hally bill as whole,
with the understanding that the alder
men will go to Lansing and try to
knock out such points as they think
are unwise. Two other bills drawn by
Hally were approved In toto. One OF
these provides that city school boards
may condemn land for school pur'
poses. while the other provides for
trying grade separation damage suit
In such a way that two or more sep
arations may be included In one suit.
II also provides that the city may
bond for grade separations.
