"What do you consider the best plan to
adopt in case of ea-sickness ?" asked.
"There is no remedy for the terrible maladie
| dc mer for those who suffer from IT," she re-
Piled "The only plan in such cases is to stay
in bed SO long as the inclination lasts 1t is
best to be careful in your diet, especially avoid
| ing pastries or fried food of any kind. Take a
simple cathartic before starting and eat heartily
of simple food, both in meats and vegetables
and the risk OF sea-sickness is greatly lessened
| A proper regard for the laws of health must be
observed at sea as on land, more especial care

When upon the water wear flannel, and, above
all things, keep well protected from cold or
sudden draughts'
WHAT CLOTHES TO TAKE.
Mrs. Senator Mcpherson knows Europe like
book. She is rich woman, but she has trav-
eled abroad neither like prince nor fool.
She is full of good ideas as an egg is full of
meat. She said:-
ga steamer trunk ought to hold all of ones
baggage for a summer trip to Europe. In ad-
dition to a warm, loose flannel wrapper for
cabin use and half dozen changes of linen,
all that is really required is a close-fitting
travelling suit of dark cloth or serge with toque
to match sitting firmly on the head in case of
stiff breeze while upon deck, though some pre-
fer the less dressy worsted or velvet hood to
protect the ears and throat; short wrap of
warm material, long macintosh to envelop
the form during 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 open carriage
upon land. With this necessary outfit and
light summer silk for the warmer days of sight
seeing, one is well equipped for the longest
journey, and may travel at ease, free from the
| anxiety attendant upon the possession of the
usual list of trunks carried by most novices
while upon journey. 1t is mistake to pre-
pare beforehand for sudden emergencies Of
dress, as upon reaching London or Paris-in
fact, most of the larger cities Of the Continent
as well-one can secure whatever of the kind Is
required at few hours notice. Should l de-
eide to stop over for week or more in Paris,
for instance, my first act would be to equip
| myself with a change of apparel suitable for
the place and season, with light foulard silk
of tasteful design-a silk mantilla, dainty
| little French bonnet, and pretty lace sun
shade This toilet may be completed by nice
fitting patent-leather shoes, with their accompa-
niment of silk stockings to lend refined effect
to the wearer if by chance she should be caught
out during blow. With such an outfit one
can feel herself prepared for any and every
emergency and enjoy life in the gay capital
among the very best. OF course, lady will
always wish to appear neatly gloved, and when
ready to continue the journey on the Continent
have it forwarded direct to her return steamer.
The chances are that she will not need it out
side of Paris. AS to luggage, much of it is ex-
pensive, and it often causes delay and bother.
[ had young friend travelling with me who
had several trunks. l told her she did not need
them, but she would take them, and it was
only after she had paid $14 extra baggage at the
start in getting them across the English Chan
mel that she saw | was right. | like the coupon
tickets, and think ladies travelling alone can
save trouble by using them"
MADAME RoMERo's ADVICE.
Madame Romero makes an annual tour
abroad, and though usually travelling without
regard to expense, she has through observa-
tion and experience become imbued with the
practical side of the question. She advises
travelling with as limited an amount of baggage
as possible, taking all that is really required
and can be tightly packed in your sea-trunk.
"For the VOYAGE" she says, "supply yourself
with a comfortable loose flannel wrapper to
throw over your bed gown while in the privacy
of your cabin; wear heavy flannel, and take with
you in addition to cloth travelling dress, one
or two light china silks, black is preferable,
as it can be easily sponged off when dusty,
| and made to look as fresh as new;
close-fitting long coat, with toque or bonnet
to match, not neglecting the all-important sea-
hood made of velvet fur-lined or soft wool,
old-fashioned lasting CATERS then can be quickly
drawn on upon every emergency, or pair of
warm velvet shoes lined with Canton flannel.
Upon landing you can always secure an addi-
tion to your wardrobe at a few hours NOTICE,
or even for the trouble of a visit to any of the
large furnishing establishments to be found all
over Europe. Never attempt to economize in
the matter of hotels. The mistake is generally
made under the impression that it is more ad-
Vantageous to take board at some one of the
numerous pensions to which travellers crowd
! through the inducement of moderate rates. but
often find too late that 1t would have been bet
| ter to pay dollar or two more and enjoy the
advantages of first-cass hotel rather than sub
| ject ones self to the annoyance of second-rate
accommodations and the companionship of
| persons most Objectionable in many respects.
remember hearing friend tell her experience
at one of these lodging places, upon which oc-
casion the guests were many or them indignant
at finding themselves compelled to associate
with an African, who had married an English
woman and taken board in the same house. the
| guests at which were made up of every nation
alty and class under the SUM- Many refused to
| sit at the same board with the couple, who made
| themselves very conspicuous, and the proprie-

| the most enjoyable hour for ladies to visit the

walters. StoddaTd remarks in ons of his fa-
