Cruahable 
Hat 
Miny poinn ainillc out thin pretty h>t for notice, but 
lorcmoM. is the f«ct thut it can be crushed absolult.'ly 
flat f(ir pacliinA 
Very original and remarkably pretty 
is a most Incoming hat of corded silk 
in l)lack, white, and all manner of 
attractive colourings. 
It is a model that 
can be worn on all 
sorts of occasions, 
hitting the happy 
medium between 
severity and elabo- 
rate smartness. The 
most noteworthy 
feature, however, is 
the manner in which 
it packs quite flat 
witliout losing its 
shape in the slightest. 
This is due to the 
clever way in which 
the soft crown is 
corded so • that it 
crushes without the 
slightest ill effects 
and is amazingly 
convenient in conse- 
quence. 
These charming 
liats are sometimes 
trimmed with a tie 
and bow of ribbon, 
They are just the 
■>ometmies with a little floral picquet 
type of thing to take the place of our summer straws and 
.iccompany a coat and skirt to perfection. The price is 21s. Qd. 
A Boon 
to Smokers 
Numbers of people who smoke will be 
delighted to hear of a special tooth 
brush and paste designed for their ONvn 
particular use. With their help the mouth and teeth can be 
kept most pleasantly free from nicotine. The tooth brush is 
made on a carefully thought-out principle, and the gain in 
' "infort and cleanliness is immense. 
A Sash 
fookec 
Never have pockets been mbre necessary 
than now, and a sash containing a cleverly 
hidden pocket has never been more 
opportune. It consists of two fringed ends of silk or moiie, 
ilie under one being longer than the other. It is in the first 
that the deep roomy pocket is set, the opening being quite 
revered by the sash end above. 
The whole affair is fixed to the waist by an unusually strong 
safety pin well concealed behind the silk. No words can tell 
the comfort of such a pocket, or the finish the sash gives to a 
fr(x;k. In it handkerchief, purse, keys can all be kept without 
.my fear of their being lost or mislaid. 
The sash pocket is made in black of in any colour to match 
any skirt. 
Wask!n)( at 
Home 
Everybody washing odds and ends at 
home will appreciate the Daily Clothes 
Washer. It draws out the dirt by suction 
and fresh air, does not hurt the most delicate fabric, and is 
so simple a child can u.se it. 
This clothes washer is splendid with handkerchiefs, collars, 
baby linen, blouses, socks, lingerie, and even table linen, 
lace curtains and wasliing frocks. 
Tlie article to be washed is put in a basin with some water 
and a piece of soap. Holding the washer by the handle and 
pressing it up and down on the clothes draws out all the dirt 
in an instant as use promptly shows. Clothes last longer 
washed in this way, the absence of rubbing being naturally 
beneficial. It is a relief also not to put the hands into water, 
the washer quite doing away with this necessity. It costs 
from js. I id., and is a most useful thing in the house. 
The Merits 
of Marmite 
Something of a sensation has been made 
by Marmite. It is a pure vegetable 
extract, very delicious and most nourish- 
ing. Vegetarians are great on Marmite, as it contains no 
meat extract, but non-followers of the cult like it equally well. 
The addition of a cup of boihng water to a quarter of a tea- 
spoonful of seasoned Marmite makes a cup of excellent soup 
for one person. Unseasoned Marmite is also sold, this being 
capital for gravies, sauces or flavourings. 
Marmite is very highly concentrated, an injunction being 
printed on each jar,that it loses its true flavour when used i.i 
too great strength. Thus it is most economical, even apart 
from its low cost in the first instance. 
It is put up in different sized pots, the price ranging from 
4ld. to js. 4d. 
Dynamo 
Tulles 
For some while now^ there has been quite 
a becoming fancy for narrow scarves of 
tulle worn wound round the neck. With 
the usual make of tulle this is undoubted extravagance, damp 
weather causing it to lose its freshness almost instantaneously. 
Dynamo tulles are rain-proof, and nothing bette- can be 
bought for the purpose. They are sold by all drapers of 
standing, and the colourings are beautiful, and varied. 
Underwear in its latest and best inter- 
pretations makes a theme with endless 
variations. Wonderfully pretty lingerie 
The Charm of the 
Camisole 
at wonderfully in- 
expensive prices is 
the main aim for 
which one clever 
httle estabhshmcnt 
exists, and the 
woman bent on buy- 
ing unusually attrac- 
tive underclothes 
can spend many 
profitable minutes 
here. 
Smocked night- 
gowns, very dainty, 
ver 'ong lasting are 
a feature, and so is 
uncommon lingerie, 
the lady concerned 
being a most original 
designer. 
Sketch here is a 
particularly useful 
crepe de Chine 
camisole. By means 
of clever arrange- 
ment, part of it 
forms a little under- 
sleeve, held together 
over the top of the 
arm by straps of 
ribbon. It is just Camisoles actinll as a cache corset and b'saae slip as 
fho thincT ii\ wfi'ir ***" """^ "''^" worth notice, the sleeve in this instance 
lUC IIUU^ 10 WCai beinj yery c everly contrived. 
beneath diaphanous 
blouses when an undersleeve is most necessary. 
Net slips with wide lace insertion are but 6s. iid., and 
have been specially designed for the same purpose. 
Stockinette is very rapidly taking the place of serge, 
and once we have got accu tomed to it should rank high in the 
list of favourites. The big Paris houses are turning out more 
stockinette coats and skirts than any others, and it is also 
excellent for a daytime all-in-one. frock.
