FINE IVORY NOW THE VOGUE
Toilet Table Accessories at the Pres-
ent Moment Are Costly but De-
cIdedly Smart.

All the toilet and dressing table
requisites are now found in fine ivory.
The only care needed is to rub of
with a fresh, soft cloth, occasionally
using a rag moistened in alcohol II
spots occur. These. too, are more
costly than silver, but are considered
very smart.
The backs are monogramed In
black. brown. and occasionally In
raised gold. Sometimes the sets are
shown with floral decorations, but
this is not so good style as is seen in
many Of the limitations.
White celluloid sets with a mono
gram in black, dark green, blue, or
brown are now to be found in good
designs with simple lines. The latest
preparations are no longer combus-
tible, and full celluloid toilet set is
a good investment for a guest room,
for a girl at college, or for the chronic
traveller; for use in a bag they are
much lighter than any other ware.
The searcher after novelty can have
her dressing table appointments in an
tique gilt, old Japanese lacquer, or
Dresden china
Such a selection is not for the aver
age buyer, as, unless rare workman
ship and corresponding cost are had.
the results are likely to be poor.
