SOAP TABLETS FOR TOURISTS
New Preparation That 10 Likely to
Appeal to Traveller Of Fastldlous
Tastes.

Somehow soap powder has never
taken the fancy of fastidous folk.
It is not especially pleasant to use
and 1t never smells like anything but
the Mushroom OF railway station or
department store. It. moreover, has a
way of sprinkling itself around every
where except on the hands in a messy
and disagreeable way, and dainty wo-
men who travel will have none Of
1t, preferring to carry the wet cake
of personally preferred toilet soap
In a rubber lined receptacle in the
travelling bag. A new soap tablet,
however, will be likely to appeal to
the fastidious traveller, because Of its
convenience and the attractive way it
Is put up. Fifty of these tablets. are
packed like bonbons in a pretty little
box less than three inches square. A
pair of nickel tweezers are tucked in
the box for extracting the tablets
again like bonbons-and the tablets
themselves, though firm in compost
ton, dissolve easily in the water. And
the entire package costs no more than
the ordinary cake of good toilet
soap

with an address to the provisional
government of France from the Irish
confederation and on his return pre-
scented the citizens of Dublin with an
Irish tricolor, accompanying 1t with a

Meagher was a member. With VIII
