SPACE SAVERS IN “THE LATEST

Many Things Manufactured to Serve , a Double Purpose for Travelers. The equipments for the comfort of automobiiists suggest that in the very near future one may live in one’s limousine. The lunch boxes were recently described, the accident case came in for recognition and although thus far no portable bed that can be tucked out of sight has been fitted up for touring cars, the new limousine cases of toilet articles are on the market. They contain every possible thing one could want for one’s toilet, in a leather case that butons with glove-fastener-like buttons and finally folds until it might easily be mistaken for a small brief ease stich as lawyers use. Among the novelties that are space savers three just out are worthy of notice. The- pair of razor-back brushes that fit into a hook and form the wings of a coat hanger when not in use are especially servicable tor the traveler. Then a Yankee has brought out a case that contains two flat hair brushes and twelve other articles —all any man could possibly require when traveling, so fitted that they are all concealed in a case that is one inch high by nine inches long and seven Inches wide—l 4 inches in this one case.

The rubber straw hat cover is another ingenious thought. It is of very soft, light yellow rubber that fits easily over the many variations of the regulation straw hat, and yet when not in use it could be tucked Into one’s vest pocket and not crowd out a toothpick.
