The advent of the 7.ipp fastener has made it easier to construct the pochette type of manicure set, the roll-up sewing basket and the most compact of powder compacts. leather exercises a free hand in all manner of "cases." You can buy in London to-day, at almost any price, a notecase for any occasion. Now there are even stocking cases, special cases for shaving mirrors and a new kind of purse-cum-noteciise guaranteed to shut "slim" while containing 2os worth of silver and an unspecified number of notes.
Sales in air-travel luggage increase. British manufacturers announce aeroshoecases and aero-hatcases, both capacious enough in themselves to take an inextravagantlv dressed person to Paris for the week-end.
