JEWEL CASE AND PINCUSHIOfo Double Convenience for the Woman Who Is Required to Do Consider able Traveling. Ono of tho most convenient llttlo accessories to tho toilet for tho wo man who travels about a great deal Is a small Jewel case and pincushion combined. It la mado of a piece of fancy rib bon or plain satin twolvo inches long and six Inches wide. Tho material is sowed together lengthwiso, then divided into three parts, four inches In each, either by stitching it on the machine or with very close cross stitch or featherstltchlng. Do this stitching four inches from ono Bide first, then All the center with wool to form the cushion In which to stick tho pins, then Btltch it across four inches from the other end. Thoro you havo a solid center with hollow end, and these ends aro turned In to form a hem one Inch wide. In Uiese a small casing Is run, with nar row ribbon placed through that so as to pull It up like a little bag on each end. This makes a flat cuBhlon In the center, having baglike enda In which tho Jewelry la kept, brooches, brace lets, rings, chains and the watch, when It Is not in use.

Tho commonest form of tho bath aB a beautlfier Is the bran bath. This particular bath haa the advantage of being lnexpenalve and efficient at the aamo tlmo. Tho bran should be sewn into a neat llttlo square sack of cheesecloth covering, and dropped Into tho bath when tho water la run in. Tho water must not be too hot, or tho bran will bo cooked and thua rendered useless, but If warm water is poured on it a creamy mass is formed, which will render tho akin delightfully aoft. For thoso who wish to be a little more elaborato there aro sold at chemists and stores little sacks of bran mixed with various perfumed herbs, accord ing to taste, auch as violets, orris root and sunflower seed. The milk bath la not unusual, and is la claimed that it haa no rival In beautifying tho skin. Ono well known beauty in Paris is understood to uso milk for her bath always, and the skin of her throat and shoulders Is aa creamy a white as tho liquid sho la supposed to bathe them with. Of course, ono would not actually get right into a milk bath as ono does with water. Tho milk Is applied on wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to prevent any stickiness, it is rubbed gently with eau do cologne. French women are also very partial to the uso of alcohol In tho barlh. It Is perfumed in somo way with such scents as lavender or violet, and those who Indulge, In these baths or tho bran ones uso soap only once or twice a week. Sea bathing Is probably tho most bracing nnd the beat form for tho robust, but In n climate such na oura It cannot bo recommended oxcopt In tho hot montha, unless tho bather H very strong. Thoso who aro unfor tunate enough to possess very Irrita ble skins will do well to eschew Bea hatha altogether. For ordinary bathing purposes most people uso nmmonla or borax, which not only softens tho water, but la inval uable for cleaning tho akin. It la nec essary, however, to exercise cnutlon in tho uso of theso two articles, for an overdose in tho bath, Instead of mak ing tho skin soft and supple, will harden It and mako It much too dry. Dark Furs Becoming. Tt scema odd that so fow should realize that dark furs aro much more becoming than light, that Ib, to tho averago woman. Sable, mink, black fox, mako her complexion look at Its very best, whereas ermine, whlto fox, miniver and squirrel havo exactly tho contrary offect. Tho noweBt way of wearing tho stole Is to put tho middlo of It on In front, pass tho ends over tho shoul ders, crossing them nt the back and bringing them forward under tho arms. Even fur capes with their rounded or pointed back aro worn In this fashion, certainly very warm and comfortable, though slightly un orthodox. Tray Tables. Tho Tripoli tray tablo is a thing of parts threo In number. There Is a largo top tray, a small tray (which flts on supports a third way up tho logs of tho stand) nnd tho folding stand. Whon not In uso this four legged stand may bo folded and stowed away In a small space. Tho trays aro mado of bamboo, and aro strong yet light In weight, and can bo easily washed. This tablo would bo very ornamentul for a tea or re freshment tablo in a bachelor maid's I uen.
