is an impossibility. A further advantage is that, if the giasseg are 
dropped, or subjected to any blow by which they are craclced, 
they are still usable ; this has been proved by experiment, 
which shows that the distortion due to the cracking of this 
unspHnterable glass is iiot sufficient to spoil the lenses — 
they can still be used until such a time as it is convenient 
to get new ones. The value of such lenses can hardly be 
overrated. 
Trench Coat Ventilation. 
Except for work in the depth of winter, one of the main 
points on which one should exercise care in the selection of a 
trench coat is that of adequate ventdation and means to* 
prevent " sweating " of the fabric through condensation of 
moisture from tiie body. This in one of the best pattern 
~oats, is attained by a slit — or rather, a series of horizontal 
slits^at the back qi the coat just under the shoulders. It is 
as if the part of tlie' coat that covers the shoulders had been 
made separately, and then laid on to the piece that covers 
the back so as to overlap it an inch or two, and then sewn on 
at half a dozen points, leaving the rest of the space between 
the two pieces open. Since the top piece overlaps the lower 
piece, no wet can penetrate to the inside of the coat, and yet 
the half a dozen or so of slits afford adequate ventilation to 
the wearer of the coat, and prevent condensation of moisture 
inside. Otherwise, the coat is just a trench coat, which 
means that it is made of first class fabrics throughout, built 
so as to give the wearer the maximum of freedom of movement 
with the maximum of protection, with a collar that will really 
keep out the wind and .,wet, a detachable Uning for wear in 
cold weather, and a belt that holds the coat in to the body 
if requiied and conduces to warmth and the absence of fioppi- 
ness — characteristics of all good trench coats. The method 
of ventilation, and its effectiveness, are the main things in 
summer weather, and by this means the coat is rendered as 
w ell-ventilated as a rainproof without the impervious inter- 
lining.

Messrs. Price's " Court Bouquet " series of toilet soaps are a pleasure 
few dainty women deny thenjselves, finding that hardly any -Othffr 
make suits them half so well. ._, 
New additions to the series are always eagerly welcomed ancMEhc 
knowledge that two newcomers must now be included is of widesprfed 
interest. The first is " White Clover," a deliciously fresh soap,' as 
fragrant as a spring meadow when first the early morning sun lights on 
it. Such a soap is the most attractive bathroom soap possible to have 
and seems particularly appropriate to this season of the year. 
Second for mentibn is " Santa!" Soap, one which goes to the other 
extreme in odour and is in consequence a fascinating contrast. 
" Santal " is reminiscent of the East, with its indescribable perfumes 
known by heart to every traveller. Soaps lately have shown a distinct 
tendency to soar in price, but both " White Clover " and " Santal " 
are most inexpensive luxuries to buy. They cost threepence a caUc 
and are doubly noticeable as a natural result.
