What 60 Put In and What TO Leave Out
Hints For Pedestrians.
Now, as To what TO put into KNAPP
sack The less the better, of course.
The art is not TO put In as much as you
can, but to leave out as much as you can;
for, after you have been walking for six
hours every ounce tells its tale. Say
yor can get at your portmanteau once q
week, your knapsack ought not to con-
tain more than a night-shirt, flannel
shirt. three or four collars. six pocket
handkerchiefs, two pairs OF worsted
socks. a pair of slippers, couple OF
pairs OF boot laces, sponge, toothbrush,
comb and hairbrush, soap, small book,
your tobacco, and pair of light trousers.
Those gentlemen who shave must decide
for themselves whether they will carry
their own razor, etc, or be shaved by
the village barber; should recommend

mentioned ought 10 serve your needs for

COST OF NAN AND WOMAN,

How much more money does woman
expend on her clothing than man? Does
she really spend more or less? asks the Bos-
ton Transcript. Some men would reply to
this in the affirmative, and add that
woman generally spends twice as much on
her ''duds" as a man. On the other hand.
most women would contend that the aver
age woman of to-day spends less than half
as much for wearing appa rel than does the
average man Which is correct? Here is
an interesting subject for discussion, and
one that was brought up for considera-
tion at recent quiet little gathering of
reflective men ana women when the writer
vas present. To the latter's mind the
question was practically solved. One men,
Der OF the party who-for convenience
we will call Tom Brown he was a bache-
lor OF forty, by the way. declared that al
though every one considered him as one of
the most extravaganza fellows in town in the
matter of dress, he actually spent less for
clothing in the course of a wear than his
sister a pretty blonde of twenty-eicht who
was present at the timel did in six months
ms was sweeping assertion and seemed
to call Tor some serifcatlon Brown offered
to prove his statement by an array of
formidable figures and proceeded to draw
up the following list of the clothing he wore
at the moment and the cost of each article
Here is his list:
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-09-25

very naturally arose ordinations of sur
prise. That Browns entire outfit should
cost him only $l46.30. while that of his
sister reached the very neat sum of 1876. or
nearly twice and a half as much as that of
her extravagant p brother. was something
quite incredible to the ladies' present. And
yet Browns sister affirmed that she was not
extensively dressed, and added that she
might have paid twice as much for any item
on her list had she been so inclined when
purchasing. But her brother could not
have paid twice as much for anything which
he wore. unless, perhaps. it was his light
overcoat. This comparison made of the
relative cost of the dress of both sexes,
coldly practical as it was. gave rise to con-
siderabiS comment among the assembled
company and led to the making of other
lists similar to those given above, but
always with the same result, that the cost
OF the woman's apparel greatly exceeded
that of the mans. This leads to tie ques-
ton, can any woman dress as we'll and as
cheaply for an amount of money equal to
that expended by a we'll man? It
is question open to doubt among those
who pretend to know.
