For Il Journey such as this around tho
world would suggest that the tourist
provide himself fora:,y kind of weather
In the course of the voyage very con-
siderable variations of temperature will
be experienced, and clothing suited to
one part of the journey would be utter

part. For tropical use nothing EQUALS
suits of thin flannel or of the specially
made 'gossamcr CLOTH" these arc in
every way superior to white drill or
duck clothing, as they generally lessen
tic chance of chill being caurht.
Shirts for the voyage should also be of
flannel. Panjama or sleeping suits
are usually worn, and these are
recommended to be of flannel. or
silk or wool material. A sun helmet,
or Tcrai hat, is the best sort of head
gear for the tropics, and on other parts
of the voyage q tweed helmet or any of
tho infinite variety of hats and caps
now in use can be worn, care being
taken that the shape selected is one
that will not easily be blown off the

individual taste. For the voyage good

should be provided. Either n "Tcrai,

European physicians will be found in
all the seaport and larger towns visited
and on all steamers, and medicines of
