A compact vanity kit called the moon geht features a concealed battery powered light to illuminate a mirror in the lid. It allows a woman to powder and apply makeup in darkness or a theater, with a leather box and pockets for beauty tools.
A fashion note describes two yard bright silk scarfs in orange red and other rich colors to elevate summer outfits. Scarf lengths allow shoulder drape or knotting at the waist over tunic blouses, with versatile uses for tweed sport suits and gray ensembles.

A chamoi stockinette wrap also helps, while silk stockings with embroidered names offer a fashion note for beachgoers.
