Two New Gadgets
Are Practical.
These are two brand-new items
on the market that this department
is particularly enthusiastic about,
and both, happily enough, are very
ineXpensively priced The first
is a tiny atomizer to carry in your
purse Now, this is even more
exciting than it sounds, for it is
made by the same manufacturer
who puts out all those perfectly
beautiful dresser atomizers :. The
purse style is completely leakproof
and won't spill into your bag, the
spraying arrangement is easily man
aged and the atomizer is Reliable,
so that you may carry your favorite
fragrance wherever you 60. We're
particularly in favor of it, having
used one for some time and found
it literally worth its weight in gold.
It's grand to carry to the Office
when you want to be appealing for
that cocktail date and also perfect
to slip into your evening bag, for
it's just a tiny, cylindrical-shaped
gadget that takes up practically no
room at all
And speaking of gadgets to go
into your evening bag, our vote goes
to an equally inexpensive container
for powder and rouge. This is
another tiny affair 2A inches long
and shaped like small gold-colored
pencil. The pointed tip produces
face powder when you press it
against puff. while the hexagonal,
decorated base. swings open to dis
close rouge and an inflnitesimal but
workable puff. In the middle is a
storage compartment for powder, 50
that it's very easy to keep supplied.
The whole item is perfect, for 1t
also eliminates carrying bulky COM
pacts and rouge containers.
