Sqoashable, 
Soft and Serviceable 
Improved Hot 
Water Botlles 
Soft felt hats become the majority of 
Englishwomen, and at the moment are 
little short of a necessity with war work 
the order of the day. A 
famous ladies' hatter has had 
phenomenal success with a 
special model which adds a 
moderate price to all its 
other qualifications. 
It is of -exceptionally good 
quality felt, will stand prac- 
tically any weather, and can 
be bent into any shape b:st 
suiting its wearer. An oat- 
standing point is the con- 
venient way in which it can 
be rolled up for packing. It 
can be folded so tight that 
it takes up hardly any room 
in a box at all, yet on un- 
packing it goes back to its 
original shape in the most 
adapta le manner. 
It is stocked in two shades 
of grey, a delightfully be- 
coming shade of fawn, as y/ell 
as black, has a ribbon tie 
and bow, and, costing but 
8s. 6d., is a hat of remark- 
able value. 
Every penny now spent is being ex- 
pended to fullest advantage by all wise 
in their generation. Improvements in 
even the most ordinary every day articles are being eagerly 
sought, and without doubt this is one of the reasons why 
the Improved Hot Water Bottle has met with its immense 
success. It gives splendid service, outlasting two of the old 
type, because of the clever construction of the neck. 
In the usual kind of rubber bottle the metal socket is a 
separate affair, fixed through tying and likely in time to become 
detached owing to the water always sliding down between the 
crevices. The pressure given each time the stopper is screwed 
tight is another drawback to hard wear. With the new kind 
the neck and stopper are in one piece, the socket being fixed 
in such a way that it cannot be separated. A bottle Uke this 
can be filled far more quickly than the old kind, there being 
no hidden deposit of water bound to be spilt once the bottle 
is filled. For hospitals and private use alike these hot water 
bottles are nothing short of perfection and should be used in 
preference to all other kinds. 
A descriptive leaflet showing both by illustration and 
letterpress the difterence between the ordinary hot water 
bottle and this brilliant invention will be forwarded any- 
where on request. 
., , . . _ ^ Everybody loves a new tooth powder, 
" PoVder especially when it hapix^ns precisely to 
meet their own requirements. A famous 
firm have just brought out no fewer than six new preparations. 
Among:st them is the Dex Tooth Paste, a specially soothing, 
refreshing preparation enormously used in both France and 
America. This is flavoured with peppermint, but for the 
benefit of people dishking the odour, Menthilla Dental Cream 
has been prepared with the flavour of Menthol instead. 
Another fragrant dentifrice is perfumed with the finest eau 
de Cologne, and most satisfactory it is. 
Mothers of a family knowing the difficulty it sometimes 
is to get the small fry to clean their teeth will be delighted 
with Perlysia Tooth Paste. It is so pleasant that children 
like u^^ing it and their teeth benefit in consequence. 
Frozo Tooth Paste is an unsweetened preparation and it, 
hke all the aforementioned preparations, costs a shilling a 
tube. Gly-Tynol Tooth Paste is of the strongly antiseptic 
type, including Wild Thyme and Wintergreen. This costs 
loid. a tube, or a specimen case of the whole six kinds will 
be forwarded free for 5s. 6d. 
A Campaittninf 
Knite 
A really reliable knife is a good friend 
to a man on active service, and realising 
this a well known firm have brought 
forward just the thing needed. It is made of nickel and 
though strong and containing any number of articles is at 
the same time wonderfully hght. The large blade when open 
locks itself so that it can by no possibility shut down on the 
user's hand. 
There is a big loop at the top, so a man can fix it on to a 
belt or pocket chain. Besides the big blade the knife con- 
tains a smaller blade, trace screws, a cartridge extractor, 
a corkscrew, a screw driver, a hoof pick and — most useful 
of all — a tin opener, so that he can take prompt advantage ol 
many good things from home. 
Two Sale 
Barfaii.t 
A small amount of money goes a long 
way where the two pretty garments 
pictured are concerned. In the first 
place the satin 
knickers are now 
being sold at the 
astonishingly small 
sum of 5s. I id. in- 
stead of los. iid., 
the usual price. 
These satin knickers 
are worth buying 
because amongst 
their many virtues 
is the sterhng one 
of hard wear. They 
are well made ; at 
the side of either 
knee is a jaunty 
little rosette and 
the available colour- 
ings are pink, saxe 
or navy blue, purple, 
ivory, mauve, black 
and green. 
Equally 
noteworthy is 
the fascinat- 
ing camisole. 
It is maae of 
crepe d e 
Chine and is 7s. iid., 
instead of the cus- 
tomary IIS. gd. It 
is a dehghtful little 
garment, reaching 
the highest level of 
lingerie. Besides a 
lace edged top, floral 
ribbon circlets aid 
in the decoration 
scheme both at the 
back and the front. 
The waist is mounted 
on elastic so the fit 
of the pretty little 
garment is assured, 
and it can be bought 
in pink, white, or 
blue. A special fea- 
ture are the sleeves, 
these making it capital to wear beneath diaphanous bloose* 
and useful consequently from two points of view.
