POCKETS THAT ARE HANDY

Travelers Will Appreciate the .Comfort That Is Afforded by These Appliances. When traveling, a couple of roomy pockets that are quite safe yet easily got at are a great boon, and if made as shown on a sort of deep band, they can be worn under the traveling coat without showing, as it is usually loose, or might even be put under the skirt, and unless anything very bulky was put in would not much disarrange the set of the skirt. / ■

For just holding money, jewelry, and a few letters, the band need not be more than about 6 or 7 inches deep, but one .of larger size would be useful when gardening, or doing household work; as will be seen

from the small sketch at top, it is Just a straight band of which might match the skirt, and can be lined or not, according to strength needed; It is bound all round with narrow ribbon and is buttoned in front or might be fixed with press studs. The envelope pockets are sewed on and have buttoned-over flaps. The top of the band could be fixed to skirt by pm»ll safety pins or smart press studs. [The half of a stud sewed each side skirt would be little seen. 1 " "V 1 1 Y«r-» - }-■ : ' .+ .» ' // -V* Some men haven't any homes. And other man are married to suffragettes.
