Special Comb to. Facilitate It's ApPIi-

 There is nothing more trying than leaky bottle in travelling bag and no more trying experience than that of rubbing hair tonic into the scalp when the train Itrches merrily and scatters tonic in every direction. 10 help out the traveller who uses it there is a tonic comb worked with a suction bulb.
 It looks like a coarse. curved comb of nickel, but each tooth is hollow and connected. with the rubber bulb in the handle. The comb is run through the hair close to the scalp and the bulb pressed at intervals, sending the tonic to the roots of the hair in fine spray.
 The bulb is filled by dipping the points of the comb in a bowl of the tonic until the former is full. It is then packed in strong box and tcan- not give forth any tonic unless the bulb is pressed. When the bulb is -'charged'' it's contents should last for a three day Journey.

PORCH PILLOWS.

Several things are to be remembered concerning the coiors and materials which appear on the cushions of the out of door living room, into which the American veranda has developed these last few years.
 In selecting it's cushions it cannot be treated like an ordinary room, as the brilliant light has to be considered The adjoining lawn or garden, with it's flower beds and shrubs, is seen in con nection with the porch, so the two must be planned together.
 Some persons before fitting out a porch completely with cushions test samples of the cloth. to see if they will stand sunlight and water. One should never use handsome embroidered or silk pillows. on the porch. Comfort. not elaborateness, should be the aim.
 The covers if possible should be uni form in material and coIor,~With per haps one or two carefully chosen con trasting shades to avoid any chance of ;nonotony. If the materials are wash able two sets Of removable covers are made for convenience in laundering. f If porch happens to be fitted in brown wicker furniture covers of Hol-
 and linen, with a monogram in a dark er brown. is. a good choice for both
 hairs and settee. Dark blue linen,
 marked in white or darker shade of 9lue. makes decidedly smart covers for
 he porch which has the natural col ared wicker furniture and blue and
 white jute rugs
 Some very successful coverings have
 cen made from materials borrowed
 som the kitchen, such as crash towel ag in blue and red squares. and what is called German dishcloth. of heavy hand woven cotton, creamy in color This peasant cloth when trimmed witt an equally foreign looking red and blue cotton fringe is effective.
 Some house furnishers provide the porch seats with cushions covered witt lowered cretonnes and k serviceablt chfntzes, which are always attraetive If there happens to be np adjacent gar den of gay coIorings, but merely a vel vety green lawn.
 Cushions that are supposed to be fo1 real comfort on the veranda couci swing should not be of rough, scratchl material. but of some smooth goods pleasant for tue face to restsagainst-
