.SERvICEABLE CASES THE
TRAVELLER NEEDS

Foremost among the folding cases which
the traveller needs. is the one Of mo-
rocco, suede, pigskin or pin seal for the
shirt waist. Incssed thus the waist posi-
lively cannot get wrinkled as its back,
with the sleeves folded smoothly under
meath, lies fatty against the base of the
receptacle. while over its fronts, fold two
lids that join in the center. These cases
accommodate a half dozen shirts. and
when packed may be placed in almost
any position without danger or damage
to their contents.
Also made to fold fatty and to take
up scarcely any space in a Gladstone or
a suit case, are receptacIes for holding
combination toilet and sewing outfits
These cases of the favorite pelts are kid
or oil-silk lined and fasten securely.
A third compact travelling convenience
is a book-shaped writing pad which folds
over fatty and when opened reveals COM
partments for all the correspondence
necessities as well as a monthly calendar
and narrow slides holding tissue paper
memorandum leaves. One OF these fits
into hand bag of extra size along with
the fatty folding little vanity case and
the suede covered cleanser. This cleans
er consists of circular cake of soap
which is rubbed upon the fabric that has
been stained. until a lather is formed,
after which it is gently removed.

DEVICE REGISTERS
HEART RLUTTERS
Invention Is Said to Scientifically
Note Caress, a Sigh, or
Embrace of a Lover.

There is still 70 m for hope in the
palpitating hearts OF doubling Thomases
and Mabels of Washington whose affec-

Of some particular individual. but who
are not quite sure OF the others gen
uine affection for them.
Robert {. Aud author and president
OF the Humane Welfare League. of New
York. now comes with a little device he
terms an 'erometer." which he is sure
one person for another OF the opposite
sex
Auld says his device can be concealed
in a small hollow tube. which may be
worn in the form of a bracelet. There
is a needle in the tube. and also a piece
OF record paper.
With this. Aud says. any bashful.
bIushing young maiden can easily learn
the place she holds in the heart Of any
young man in whom she is particularly
interested.
1T Is known that a caress, A compli-

ways cause the heart OF the lover TO
accelerate when in the presence of the
object OF his affections says Aud.
The little needle in the tube will re-
cord this acceleratIon and show the
wearer the exact depth OF the others

It's all very simple when the record is
read. Auld says.
