INTERCHANGEABLE RUBBER HEELS. 



THERE is an almost universal human tendency to run over 

 the outside of the heel. Very few people plant their feet so 

 square and flat that the heel is equally worn all around ; but 

 here is a rubber heel that obviates that run-down-heel tendency, as 



this rubber heel can be 

 changed from one shoe 

 to the other so as to 

 equalize the wear on both 

 sides — whence the name 

 "Double-Wear." Other 

 rubber heels are nailed 

 on, but this is applied dif- 

 ferently. The requisite 

 number of lifts are taken 

 off the shoe (this is pref- 

 erably done by the cob- 

 bler), a metal fastener is nailed on the middle of the heel, and 

 this rubber heel is provided with an opening that fits down over

this metal fastener. The wearer can put it in place and also 

 remove it without trouble. [The Heimbach Rubber Heel Com- 

 pany, Duluth, Minnesota.] 



THE KLIP LEGGINGS. 



The part of a man's anatomy from his knee down to his ankle 

 has not been as well provided for as the other sections. Over- 

 coats come to the knees and high top shoes take care of the 



ankles, but between those 

 two points there is often 

 lack of adequate protection 

 in stormy or cold weather. 

 A good pair of leggings 

 for an out-of-door man is 

 therefore not only a con- 

 venience but often a neces- 

 sity. The Dusell leggings 

 are waterproof and hence 

 are protection against 

 storms. They are not made 

 in rights and lefts, so you 

 do not have to take the 

 trouble to see which is 

 which. They snap on 

 around the knee without 

 straps or buckles, and a little pull at the knee takes them off 

 readily. In other words, they are so constructed as to go on 

 and off with the least possible trouble. [The Dusell Company, 

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.]

HOODS FOR WASHING THE HAIR. 



Among the patents recently granted at Washington, is one 

 for a hair washing hood, made in various forms, one of which 

 is shown in the accompanying illustration. 



The hood consists of a cover, preferably made of rubber that 

 fits down snugly over the head and around the back of the neck. 

 Inside of this cover there is an inner wall also made of rubber,

about two inches from the outer wall, and in this space the 

 soap or other cleansing material is placed. The inner wall has 

 a great number of small perforations, these running through 

 little rubber fingers that project inward. 



At the top of the hood there is an opening through which 

 water is let in, the water being supplied through the rubber 

 tube attached to a faucet. At the bottom of the hood there is 

 an outlet for the water. The modus operandi is as follows: 

 The hood is fitted around the head snugly so that the water 

 will not come down over the face or neck ; the water is turned 

 on, the saponifying substance having previously been placed in 

 the receptacle left for it between the walls. The water then 

 runs through the soapy matter and through the hollow fingers 

 which press against the scalp. 



The cut shows the hood used where a woman is blessed 

 with a considerable length of hair. A much smaller hood with- 

 out the extension for flowing locks would be used for a man.

IT SPRINKLES SaUARE, 



The ordinary lawn sprinkler waters a plot round in shape, but 

 as very few plots of ground come in that shape, most lawns be- 

 ing rectangular, the ordi- 

 nary lawn sprinkler must 

 necessarily leave dry cor- 

 ners. Here is a lawn 

 sprinkler that wets a 

 square plot. It is called 

 the "Baby" Fountain Lawn 

 Sprinkler, being only 5^4 

 The Standard; "Baby" Lawn inches in diameter. It is 

 Sprinkler. made of brass and hand- 



somely polished. It throws out the water in the form of a mist 

 and so cannot do any harm to the most delicate vegetation.
