TRAVELLING
COM FORTS.

Folding drinking cups of bright
metal, neatly put up in leather cases,
are rs cents.
A long fiat case of English morocco
holds a hat and dress brush with bris-
ties set in black ebony. The virtue of
this convenience is that it takes up
next to no room. The cases cost from
$2.75 up.
Another space economiZer is a bas
ket about eight inches long and three
deep fitted up like a dressing case with
all the toilet articles needed. Around
the sides and at the inside cover there
are little leather loops and pockets fit
ting the things they hold so that moth
ing gets out of place. In the CEN
ter of the basket is a square COM
partment with a second cover for hair
pins and other trifles. The baskets
are light and durable and cost from
IS up.
A folding footstool is a cunning con-
trivance for the use of elderly and in
valid persons. The frame is of dark
wood and comes together like a camp
the whole thing would easily go in
straw telescope basket. These are rs
cents.
A lunch basket Of exceeding light
ness and that may fold up when not in
use, is made after the manner of a
pasteboard shirt waist box and fitted
out with tiny wooden plates sanitary
paper cups and minute French kitchen
knives and forks. When the utensils
are once used they are thown away
that is the cups and plates-and the
strings at the corners of the basket
are then united and the four sides and
top are put fatty together. These
clever conveniences may be made at
home Of pasteboard for next to moth
ing.
A folding umbrella that doubles
down to the length of q mans suit
case or a straw telescope basket is a
superb idea for those who cannot
keep track of umbrellas. 1t may go in
the trunk or in the suitcase or be
strapped outside without any ends to
poke off, and s. is the cost of it.
A wardrobe trunk is the resort for
those who abominate STOPPING down
or who intend going to little summer
places where there Is no likelihood OF
one end when in active use, one side
holding rods and hooks for hanging,
the other divided off into drawers of
various sizes. The trunk is light, neat
ly covered with black enameled canvas
and costs from SIS up.
clothes hanger, made of white
metal, with five hooks and as light as
the hotel or home and it may be had
for rs cents. This will go over a nail
on any door, a little reversible piece
at the back holding the bar steady
The contrivance will hold five shirt
waists without crushing-these put
over the usual light wire hangers
A shoecase to hold half dozen pairs
of boots or slippers is made like a
wall pocket of canvas with bright
braid edges. When stakes are pulled
up for the move the case is folded up
in a fiattish roll and there is no danger
of the footgear spelling pretty clothes
When at the hotel it is attached to a
door with a loop over a glass headed
tack, which little hooks do not hurt
the wall and are great conveniences
for the traveller. Seventy five cents
IS the store price, but the shoe pocket
may be made at home for a quarter.
Acceptable luXuries that would be
| just the thing to give a friend going
to Europe are travelling slippers of
English morocco with a matching
| case. These dainty sandals are in all
| colors and they cost from 81 UP.
A vanity dressing convenience would
be another appropriate gift for the
voyager on land or sea. This folds up
| like the shoecase, hanging also when
| in use from tack. 1t is made of
| Powered silk. canvas or suede, small
| square glass being attached to the top.
| with little pockets and loops and q
| pincushion below. Generally the trifie
is fitted up with the needed articles
