[New York Commer t “s Color tii A WATCH POURET BADLY SEEDED For the person who [nvents a safe sort of pocket for women's watches a larg: fortune and the gratitude of thousands are waiting. Women are beginning te grow tired of having their slender chains jerked in a crowd and finding themselves watchless, They don't enjoy even hunt ing vainly for the timepieces which were buttoned into the front of their bodices, but which have slipped in and are finally discovered two inches above their waist bands and far on one side The pretty toys are continually being lost, as they slip down under boddic eR and belts and drop to the ground There are a few precautions whic h might be taken In the first place, of these dainty watch pockets, Rizh on left side of a tailor. made bodice, is the very worst possible slace in which to carry an watch, Ther is absolutely nothing to hinder a man from jerking it out by the chain. even less safe than the ordinary fashion of thrusting it inside the waist and trust. one the the clutch of the hungry man who sees several meals in it, Men who are popularly supposed to have much more strength wherewith to defend themselves against sudden attacks of this sort do not give half the tempia- tion. Their chains are firmly caught in their buttonholes with a slender little bar or swivel, which holds it safe against jerking. And their watches are in a distant and secure pocket, If you are determined td wear your watch like the rest of womankind thrust it into your bodice; it is a good idea to have sewed securely to the King of each waist one of the patent fasting hooks, which have to be pressed in order to pas: over anything, Clasp this over the bi, link at the end of your chain and th you are comparatively safe. A stronz- handed thief may break the chain but cannot capture the watch, If this impossible, it is, at any rate, always easy to fasten a fancy pin through the end of the chain, which will keep it from slip ping away and render it a little loss easy to grab, Another excellent plan would he to have a small pocket sewed to the lining of eazh bodice at the place wh it is natural to slip the watch, This pocket could open toward the front, and when the watch was thrust in could fasten by means of one of the patent loops to an eyelet crocheted on the lining of the bodice. With the watch securely tucsed in such a receptacle, even with the chain pre dangling daintily down the front of the gown, a woman might safely venture into a crowd and not be oblige to keep one hand continually to protect her property, |¢ ‘hicago herald.
