A Roll-up Case for Ties.

As in the case ,of gloves and other things, ties repay generously for proper care and treatment. The tie that is taken off and slung carelessly aside is, in nine cases out of ten, when picked up again, but a crumpled ruin of its former self, not fit to wear, and the,tie bill advances accordingly. This "week I have had illustrated a case for ties which, while being extremely simple

and easy to make, ig invaluable for .travelling > purposes. As the case irolls up, it not only takes up a small space in a drawer or bag, but also presses out any little creases" that there may possibly be in the ties, bo that when they are taken from the case again they are quite clean, flat, and presentable.

This useful tie-case can be carried out in art serge of any colour and lined with soft white silk, and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. It can be cut out entirely in one piece, lined, and then

folded over and sewn down at the edges, to form the two pockets into which the ends of the ties may be slipped in the manner illustrated. : The lower sketch shows the case

irolled up and secured with ribbon strings, which are sewn on at the hack, and, therefore, not visible in !the upper sketch, which shows the ( case open. The illustration so clearly explains the nature of this article that further description is unnecessary. It would make a very acceptable gift to prepare for a man, and in that case the initials of the recipient might find a place upon the exterior.
