TO IMPROVE THE SUITCASE

Addition of Pockets Will Greatly In crease the Capacity of the , Receptacle.

The suitcase can be greatly Improved, so far as convenience is concerned, by the addition of pockets. These pockets may be made with or without flaps. If the flaps have snaps upon them the contents will not come out easily when the suitcase is tossed about. ■

This lining is best made of denim or linenrand can be made detachable, so that it may occasionally go to the laundry. Narrower strips of linen are placed upon that covering the bottom, the inside of the lid and about the sides, of the lining, making a double lining, into which rows of machine stitching are placed, joining the two layers of lining together, to form as many pockets as you desire. Three pockets or more can be very well accommodated in the lid, an equal number can be accommodated in the bottom, and several smaller pockets about the sides for jewelry, powder, etc. In this way everything can easily be kept in its place. The larger articles, of course, such as frocks, blouses, skirts, etc., are packed in the remaining open space of the suitcase. If you wish to make an elaborate lininr, it can be made of heavy satin.
