Toilet Table Convenience.

One mirror is seldom deemed enough by the average woman for arranging her dress aud also for combing the hair, and thnt is where the little hand mirror is convenient and useful. Its one drawback is the fact that, as it takes one hand to hold it, it allows only the use of the other to work with. In the Illustration is shown a simple adjustable attachment for a small mirror, in conjunction with the larger one

on the bureau, enabling the former to be adjusted to any desired position and also to compactly fold it out of the way when not In use. The upright supporting arm, made of tubular metal, is fastened to the edge of the bureau dresser or other support . In the center of this rod Is a sleeve of an arm extending outward, which arm Is attached to an outer arm and an Intermediate arm. The sleeve Is adapted to slide In the support and provided with a clamping screw for securing It in its adjusted position. All the arms are hinged together to permit them to swing horisontally, while the outer arm is provided with resilient Jaws to hold the mirror. By the use of this contrivance the small mirror can be secured in various positions, and the user can stand between it and the mirror of the bureau or dresser, dispensing with a hand glass and leaving both hands free for dressing or other purposes.

These are to be had in a great variety of charming colors, and It saves an immense amount of trouble not to have to match the pattern of each strip with the last when putting it on. In a room having many pictures a plain paper Is always more effective than a figured one.
