752 ILLUSTRATED WORLD<br />

This Suitcase Transforms Itself into a Substantial<br />

Picnic Table<br />

hinged device adapted<br />

to be held in close adjustment.<br />

A special<br />

advantage is the hinged<br />

leaf on the middle compartment<br />

which holds<br />

a mirror.<br />

When the suitcase<br />

is used for a table,<br />

four supporting legs are extended from<br />

guideways which line with the two outer<br />

compartments. When the suitcase is to<br />

be folded, the legs are forced within<br />

shortening sections.<br />

THREE-IN-ONE BED<br />

I7VEN if we do live in a two-by-four<br />

one-room apartment we have still<br />

clung to the idea that we must have a<br />

place to sit down, a place to sleep, and<br />

a clean place in which to keep our clothes.<br />

The built-in wardrobe beds have helped<br />

us in this respect of course, but they are<br />

not as sanitary as this new three-in-one<br />

bed which can be put into the sunshine<br />

and sterilized as often as desired.<br />

This bed when closed is a compact,<br />

comfortable window seat. When it is<br />

fully opened it is a really comfortable<br />

and commodious single bed, and its many<br />

uses do not prevent its perfect comfort<br />

for sleeping. By<br />

slight pulling of a lever<br />

at one end there is in<br />

easy access a sanitary<br />

wardrobe box underneath.<br />

When the bed<br />

is down, the cover of<br />

the wardrobe box is<br />

completely closed so<br />

that no dust can enter<br />

the wardrobe.<br />

When the bed is made into the window<br />

seat the mattress does not have to be removed<br />

as it is specially built to fold<br />

over on itself, and to still retain its shape<br />

under the daily wear and tear of folding.<br />

THE ENGLISH SIDE CAR<br />

"T^ON'T let that complexion be ruined<br />

by the dust and dirt of the road!"<br />

seems to be the first thought of the<br />

The Side Car Windshields<br />

Britisher even when considering the<br />

humble motorcycle with its side car.<br />

Here is shown a favorite type equipped<br />

with two windshields, one for the rear<br />

seat as well as for the front. The little<br />

seat in front is intended for a child.<br />
