THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE

Don't think you are going to be SICK
and you will not if you obey the follow
ing iniunctions:-For at least a week
previous to sailing be very careful of your
diet and general health, then the day be-
fore take a blue pill and drink only tea
without milk, and eat toast without but
ter. You may think the cure as bad as
the disease, but l assure you that 1t IS
not, and If faithfully carried out Will save
you n great deal of suffering. Don't get
up in the morning while on board on an
empty stomach, but have the stewardess
bring you Il cup of black coffee and a bis
cult, or even u cup of tea. and in case you
still feel a little shaky take a spoonful OF
fruit salts. A sip of brandy after each
meal is also excellent until you are quite
sure of yourself. Arrange for your bath
the first thing after leaving the dock, as
n warm salt water bath will help greatly
TO keep you in good condition.
WEAR T. CLOTHES
Don't make yourself look like a perfect
fright as SO many people 90, because you
can keep as warm aud dry ~ they ana
look ten times better by giving II little at
tention to your get up. Some people
have an idea tina old clothes are u neces-
sary part of an ocean voyage ana -tnink
that anything good is bound 20 be spolled.
Don't listen to them, us 1t Is not true. A
wooden macintosh or a cloth ulster with
n cane that can be removed when it is too
warm Is the best wrap. A Jaunty sailor
cap to match and with CATERS and Knit
underclothing instead of petticoats you
will be as trim and as comfortable as one
could wish.
Don't expect 70 nave a Saratoga In your

you can get a good many things into a
yery small space. A half tight fitting
wrapper of some dark wooden stuff will
be found more useful than u blanket
lounging robe. as you can wear IL under
your ulster even on deck. An old black
lace dress or u fancy waist Will prove most
welcome after the first uncertainty is
over. as dressing for Inner ever in old
clothes and under difficulties will be Il
pleasant and welcome change. A good
sized wall pocket OF cretonne Is IN abso-
lutte necessity, in which to put all your
little "must-have's," unless you want TO
spend half your time on your hands aud
knees looking for your things on the
floor. Take with you half a dozen large
thumb tacks with which to fasten 1t to
the wall. or even common tacks If you are
sure you can drive them with the heel or
your slipper or the back of your hair
brush. A hammer would be rather in
