SEAsoNABLE HINTS - At this season
MANY persons contemplate travelling; to dc
so with the largest amount of comfort and
advantage, physical, social and mental, the
following suggestions are made
Take One-fourth more money than your
actual estimated expenses.
Acquaint yourself with the geography Of
the route and region of travel.
Have good supply of small change, and
have no bill or piece higher than ton dollars.
that you may not take counterfeit change.
So arrange as to have but single article
of luggage to look after
Dress substantially. Better be too hot
for two or three hours at noon, than to be
too cool for the remainder of the twenty
four.
Arrange, under all circumstances, to be at
the place Of starting fifteen or twenty min.
utes before the time, thus allowing for una
voidablo or unanticipated detention on the
way.
Do not commence days travel before
breakfast, even if that has to be eaten at
daylight. Dinner or supper, or both, eau be
more BEAUTIFULLY dispensed with than good,
warm breakfast.
Put your purse and watch in your vest
pocket, and all under your pillow, and you
will not be likely to leave either.
The most secure fastening Of your cham
Der door, is a common bolt on the inside /;
if there is none, lock the door, turn the key
so that it can be drawn partly out, and put
the wash basin under it; thus, any attempt
to use jimmy or put in another key, will
push it out, and cause racket among the
crockery, which will be pretty certain to
rouse the sleeper and rout the robbcr.
A sixpenny sandwich eaten leisurely in
She cars is better for you than dollar din
ner bolted at station"
Take with you months supply of pa
tience, and always think thirteen times
before you reply once to any supposed rude
ness or insult, or inattention.
Do not suppose yourself specially and
desiguedly neglected, if walters at hotels do
not bring what you call for in double quick
time ; nothing so marks the well-bred man
as a quiet waiting on such occasions; passion
proves the puppy Do not allow yourself
to converse in tone loud enough to be
heard by person at two or three seats from
you; it is the mark of boor if in a man,
and of want of refinement aud lady-like
delcacy in woman. A gentleman is not
noisy; ladies are serene.
Comply cheerfuly and gracefully with
she customs of the couveyances in which
you travel, aud of the places where you
stop.
Respect yourself by exhibiting the man,
ners of gentleman and lady, if you wish
to be treated as such, and then you will
receive the respect Of Others.
Travel is great leveler; take the posi-
ton which others assign you from your con
duct rather than from your pretensions.
