turesQue portions of the country unknown,
the best and bravest of its people: and
missed an opportunity to learn of that real
Irish hospitality that turns a roast potato
into feast and fills merely cup of water
into something better than bumper of
champagne. To leave the beaten tracks
and the railroad tracks as we'll and Jog
along in a jaunting car through the coun-
tries OF Connaught, Mayo and Sligo up the
western coast into brave Donegal, along
the romantic borders to Londonderry, stop
ping at the wonderful causeWay as you go
down to Lorne where You can cross to Scot
land, or instead turn pack for a glimpse of
Tyrone and Fermanagh. This is trip of
ever recurring delight, fresh air, honest
landlords, poor but bright, independent ma
tives and no end of novelty. Rich eXper-
fences with humorous cabmen and Her
Maiesty's posting service. The trip may
be taken at moderate cost and is the most
health giving and least troublesome jour
ney for the amount of novelty and pleas
ure obtained of any within my knowl-
edge''
TUE PRACTICAL HINTS BY MRS. SENATOR
sPoONER.
Mrs. Spooner, wife of our Wisconsin
Senator, generously contributes the fol-
lowing advice TO my budget:
Having often read of the folly of carry
ing more clothing than was barely neces-
sary upon q foreign tour" she said. II
concluded not to be guilty of any such folly,
so ! carefully abstained from burdening
myself with any dresses beyond those
needed for deck and state-room. [ had been
told it was merely the work of an hour or SO
to purchase handsome cloth suit and black
silk in London. If I so again l sball carry
my cloth suit and silk dress with me in adj
dition to one or two light summer gowns.
Ready-made dresses are never ready for
immediate wear. The waist has either to
be wholly made or altered to fit, and if one
orders dress of the modesto il is very
| liable to be a week or ten days before the
dress appears. l recall my experience in
Geneva. Having gone on the principle
that extra baggage was a nuisance, and
finding the weather grown warm, Iengaged
to have summer dress made to be finished
All Oui Madame in, two days. politely an
swered my mantua maker. 1t was barely
finished in q week and then at the point Of
! bayonet, l decided at once that l had been
| guilty of great folly in neglecting to provide
myself before leaving home with one OF
two summer gowns. An extra trunk il
] addition to the regular steamer trunk is nc
| trouble and never returns empty. enabling
/ one to carry two or three extra dresses anG
| light wraps instead of supplying the de
mand in London or Paris, Outlines to one's
| serious inconvenience. I carried with me-
/ one good sized bedroom pillow encased il
dark summer silk and wished many time:
that / had brought one or two more, as one
! is forcibly reminded of the block and gull
| lotine, when placing tins head upon some o.
/ the miserable contrivances politely called
pillows in many places in Europe, In sd
clifton do not fail to carry with you small
medicine chest containing such well trieC
and reliable friends as camphor, aconite
| some cholera mixture and the ready mad
mus tard plaster, not forgetting the inval
liable hot water bottle, and you will b.
! provided for all emergencies"
