NEW STTLES IN MACKINTOSHES FOR MEN. 



It will be discovered by a glance at the scene below, taken

ing what the proper equipment for the motorist will be, both 

 coats being long and very full, and one having a cape to cover 

 the head. 



A SELF-FILLING FOUNTAIN PEN. 



The "Independent" self-filling fountain pen is made of polished 

 hard rubber, both holder and cap. The gold pen is 14-karat gold, 

 tipped with iridium. The self-filling device is very simple. The 

 knob is unscrewed the full length of the thread, pressed down

 knob is then screwed down tight to the barrel and the pen is 

 readv for use. It is cleaned by the same process, substituting 



water for ink. The "Independent" has an unusually large ink

 absolutely proof against gasoline, oils and grease," ought cer- 

 tainly to be useful in a good many ways — provided it is as water- 

 proof, light and pliable as rubber cloth — for rubber cloth cer-

 quoted above is the claim the manufacturers make for Ruboilin 

 for use in auto tops, coats, covers and upholstery, and especially 

 for aprons. [The Ruboilin Co., 253 Broadway, New York.]
