WHAT CLOTHES TO TAKE.
Mrs. Senator Mcpherson knows Europe /
like book. She is rich woman, but she |
has travelled abroad neither like prince /
nor fool. She is as full of good ideas as
an egg is full of meat She said:
"a steamer trunk ought to hold all of I
ones baggage for summer trip to Europe !

fitting travelling suit of dark cloth or serge |
with toque to match sitting firmly on the
head in case OF stiff breeze While on deck, |,
though some prefer the less dressy worsted !
or velvet hood to protect the ears and
throat; short wrap of warm material, a
long macintosh to enVelop the form dur |
ing stormy weather, stout shoes and light |
plaid to throw over the knees, either when
seated upon the deck Of the steamer or
travelling around in an open carriage upon
land. With this necessary outfit and q
light simmer silk for the warmer days OF
sightseeing, one is well equipped for the
longest journey and may travel at ease free
from the anxiety attendant upon the pos
sessions of the usual list of trunks carried
by most novices while upon q journey. 1t
Is a mistake to prepare beforehand for sud
Den emergencies of dress, as upon reaching
London or Paris, 10 fact most of the larger
cities OF the continent as well, one can Sc

few hours notice. Should | desire to stop
over for week or more IN Paris, for III
stance, my first act would be to equip my
self with change of apparel suitable for
the place and season, with light fOulard
silk Of tasteful design, silk mautilla, a
dainty little French bonnet, pretty lace
sunshade. This toilet may be completed
by nice fitting patent leather shoes with
their accompaniment of silk stockings TO
lend a refined effect to the wearer if by
chance she should be caught out during a
blow. With such an outfit, one can feel
herself prepared for any and every emer-
gency and enjoy life in the gay capital
among the very best. OF course q lady will
always wish to appear neatly gloved, and
when ready to continue the journey on the
continent, she can pack her Paris outfit
away in box and have it forwarded direct
to her return steamer. The chances are
she will not need it outside OF Paris. As to
luggage, much of it is expensive, and it
often causes delay and bother | had
