Women arc learning that they must have pockets, if not in their skirts, then elsewhere (says the Boston Woman's Journal). The latest are the glove and hosiery pockets. Tho new gauntlet gloves are equipped with two pockets, stitched on tlic outside of tho glove top. One pocket laps over and snaps. This ono is need for change, and tho other is a patch pocket where tbe handkerchief is allowed to ruffle out at the top. The pockets nre on the left glove, and the right hand is free to extract the contents. The new hosier}' pocket is woven in tho stocking when it is made. It is set in. Quito deep, and it is almost impossible to detect it from the outside. It will hold letters, money, diamonds, and .valuable papers. Tho belt pocket is quite new. A little patch pocket is made on tho inside of the belt, and is asoiul for money or ai watch. The silk knitted shirts are equipped with a tiny pocket. There are alsopockets on many night robes of tho nicer grades. The new tailor-made suit the tiavelling woman hr,s five pocksts, ono on the breast, whirh is used for a handkerchief, one on each side of th© lower edge of the jacket, one dn tho inside of the coat, which is deep and useful, and a sin*!' snap pocket to bo used for ike train book cr ticket. Ihe leneo pocket is mncje of Dresden silk and lined with chamois, and is tied about the leg with satin ribbon. Mnny valuable boas, and especially muffs, are furnished with securely-hidden pockets, also the opera cloaks and evening wraps. Perhaps tho most unique ia a tiny pocket in thp crown of a woman's hat. The lining covers ifc completely, and no one would ever inspect, that money or jewels rested -vnthin.
