Spick-And-Span Modern Mode
WHAT SPONGE AND WATER CAN DO..
So much white is being worn this season, white rainproofs, hats and shoes, and in fashion acces sories, vanity bags, sunshades and belts, that the delicate question | arises in the mind of the well- dressed woman: "How is all this white to be kept fresh and spick- and-span in appearance during a cruise or a holiday by the sea?"
Modern fashion desginers and manufacturers have however, given their productions a practi cal note. Many of the decorative dress accessories, in white or the fashionable pale colourings, which are now appealing to women by reason of their summery, daintinesa of Anish, are usually washable, or, simpler process still, spongeablo.
Washable Accessories This applies to the latest leather handbags in white washable hides. There are baga with a canvas sur- face in white which art both washable and waterproof. These have the flat anvelope fastening {with plain navy buttons in chromium or gilt, and cunning little stiff plaited strap handles in colour.
