AUTO ACCESSORIES
NO5r So Perfect That I'm
proUement Seems Impossible.

Apparently everything in connection with
motoring has reached such a state of per
rection that there is no further opportunity
for the introduction of novelties unless
some genius should arise with wonderful
device TO supply d want that has not as
Yet even been felt.
The practical bonnets now made for wom-
en- are quite the latest addition TO the COM
fort OF motorists. and. i'll fact. almost the
only one that has been made this season.
In one large shop for motor accessories
are shown some charming bOnnets. which
by their useful qualities and artistic ap
pearance ought to attract the attention of
all women who take their motoring a all
seriously. All these models had been re
duced to featherweight without losing their
protective properties. The one that was
designed to shield the wearer most effectu-
ally from dust and would therefore he
valuable for touring was OF shantung. gath
cred to stifened band which formed
a frame for the face. The silk was full
enough to cover the largest coiffure. and il
was held In at the back by elastic so as TO
make it quite close. The ties were of chif-
fon, and for ornament there were four
narrow rows of fine pleating on the band in
front and a shantung buckle on top. An
other bonnet in light soft straw. with rib
bon decorations. only partially covered the
hair, but would be quite satisfactory for
short trips
When the fair motorist wants to wear
some Of her most ornate millinery she can
do so, no matter how expensive IL NAV be-
without any fear of its being injured, il
she will only provide herself with the right
veil. One style in the thinnest silk leaves
not the smallest portion of head. hat or
face exposed. and has mica window in il,
with holes for ventilation.
The Jeannette veil buttons closely around
the face. but does not cover t. and comes
neatly folded in a silk case small enough
to go into the pocket.
Dust coats shown IN the same shop were
Of ponsee and linen, or of fno wool
cloth having the appearance of a pOngee
with occasional coarse threads in IT, They
had raglan sleeves, making IL possible for
them to be worn over other coats. A rain
coat that was unusually well adapted to
the purpose for which it was intended had
a drawstring at the neck that was in
tended to act as n barrier against all
1roitcSOne drops OF moisture.
Delightfully."- comfortable driving gloves
have been made for, men with palms Of
leather and backs and gauntlet tops OF silk
Isle The leather comes over the backs OF
tho finger tips for about haiG an inch TO
save this exposed part from being rubbed
into holes. For some reason women have
not been so we'll cared for in respect to
gloves. for though there are gloves for
them with Isle backs they are not so
scientifically constructed as the masculine
variety.
Luncheon cases are now made round in
shape, so that they will fit into the emer-
gency tire, and this seems TO be the only
improvement that 1t has been possible to
make in this necessary adjunct 20 the
pleasures of the motor trip. \ case Of this
kind holds an outflt for three persons. and
the cover is made so 1t can be- transformed
into a table.
Another device that Ia useful for general
outing purposes as well as for motoring
is carrier for glasses that relieves one OF
all anxiety as 10 breakage. The glasses fit
into each other. but before being put to-
gether each one is set into a nickel plated
frame with q circle OF delicate springs
around II, on which each glass rests as on
cushion OF down. The cases are nickel
plated and como in sizes for two four and
piX glaascs
