BATHING CAP NOVELTIES. 



•;LV nu\olty in bathing caps is shown hi-rewith, aptly 



named the "Aviator" because of its resemblance to the 

 helmets worn by the drivers of air machines. The body 

 cap is seamless and it is trimmed by hand. The crown 

 is of natural pure gum color and the 

 head-band of combination red and 

 black, the decorative figures being 

 either round, as shown in the illustra- 

 tion, or diamond or square-shaped. 

 The turn-down piece, tied under the 

 chin, protects the neck, ears and hair 

 and renders this up - to - the - minute 

 style of bathing cap thoroughly prac- 

 tical as well as ornamental.

 plaited edges becomingly frame the face, and four rosettes, two 

 at the top and two at the back, add the further adorning touch

 This cap is furnished in a va- 

 riety of colors— "Persian," red,

WET WEATHER SPORT GARME ■:i:. 



young wunian of today goes in fur athletics 



The young wunian of today goes in fur aililetics and stormy 

 weather has no terrors for her. Because of this, manufacturers 

 vie with each other in producing apparel for special wet weather 

 wear, and two recent creations in this line are shown herewith. 

 _ One is a golf coat, exceedingly 



light in weight, made of rubber- 

 ized silk in a handsome olive tan 

 shade. This is so cut as to give 

 plenty of room for the free play 

 of the arms necessary in the 

 various strokes of the game, and 

 in order that such a coat shall 

 be more comfortable it is ven- 

 /,iJ\ 7flH tilated under the arms, thus al- 



lowing for the circulation of air 

 between the cn;it and the clothing 



MOURNING FOOTWEAR. 



It is a somewhat sad commentary on the effect of the war 

 that in Canada there is a demand for mourning shoes. Such 

 footwear is now made in tennis lines, several styles, with 

 white duck tops, ce- 

 mented rubber soles, and 

 black trimmings beinu 

 designed to wear with 

 mourning costumes. The 

 one shown has a white 

 duck top, edged with 

 black, a black Cuban heel 

 and a black rubber sole. 

 Another style has a colonial buckle and tongue, edged with 

 black, with a wedge heel and sole of smooth, white rubber. 

 A steadily increased call is noted for these goods. They are made 

 in women's sizes only. [The Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co., 

 Limited, Montreal, Canada.] 



of the wearer. With this a 

 mannish hat of shower-pru,,i 

 gabardine is worn, and thi- 

 with a cravenetted skirt, "i 

 one of rubberized silk, com- 

 pletes the costume for the up- 

 to-date player who wishes to 

 go round the links in real 

 .Scotch golfing weather. 



The other picture shows a 

 female devotee of Izaak Wal- 

 ton, with her cravenetted thorn- 

 tweed skirt and knickerbockers. 

 Storm King rubber boots and 



leather coat. Thus appareled, she can defy tlie spray of the 

 ocean or can wade through brooks in pursuit of her finny victims. 

 These garments will commend themselves to up-to-date sporting 

 goods and clothing dealers. [Abercrombie & Fitch. Xew York

THE DURST ANTI-SPLASHEE. 



The unusual feature of this accessory to the kitchen 

 sists in the body of the anti-splasher being made entirely 

 There is no metal sleeve to foul 

 or rust and the threads that per- 

 mit quick and easy attachment to 

 the faucet are molded in the rub- 

 ber body. The only metal in this 

 device is the small tin-plated disk 

 that forms the strainer that is lo- 

 cated inside the body and pro- 

 tected by a rubber washer. More- 

 over, this anti - splasher and 

 strainer also oflfers protection to 



the dishes and other breakable ware that t irough carelessness 

 are broken by the unprotected metal faucet. [Durst Manufac-
