CARRY COSTLY VANITY CASES

Elegance of These Dainty Appointments Are Limited Only by the Depth of One's Purse. For the woman who adores daintiness in small belongings there are cases which will consume whatever pin money she has to spare. In the loveliest enamels, surfacing gold or silver, she may have —at a price that is just a bit staggering—a vanity box containing an enamel-framed mirror, a powder puff, a rouge receptacle and one manicure implement Encased in the same enameled metals she may have a purse fitted with compartments for change coins of various denominations. And she may also have a square fiat receptacle for visiting cards and memorandum tablet. Of the same size and shape, but slightly convexed, is an enameled cigarette holder, and this, most luxurious looking of all the cases, clasps with a jewel which not infrequently is of purest water. Moire-finished gun is the very latest metal devoted to vanity boxes, change purses, card cases and cigarette holders. But although their appearance is one of subdued elegance and ultra refinement, they have not the somber look of plain gun, for the watery surface is in Itself ornamental and all of the trimmings, so-called—meaning the edges, the hinges and the clasps, are of polished silver. Moire-finished gun is the smart finish for bracelet watches and for sunshade handles, and it makes a stunning frame for the photograph of an elderly person.
