enough. In fact, there is only one per.
son who needs more extensive outfit
than man of fashion, and that is the
needs all the clothing on the Paris
boulcvards or in the Paris salons that
he needs in New York, so ho must find
n safe way to transport his raiment
without taking the gloss off them SO to
speak. For European trip or an ex-
tended trip in this country to the resorts
or for sight seeing the man of wealth
and extensive apparel cannot afford to
carry less than six trunks. The swell
members of the -Four Hundred"
and especially of the lone hum
dred and fifty" which Ward McAllistcr
has dcnominatcd the inner circle, never
think of dcvoting less than an entire
trunk to foot gear alone. Then at least
three trunks are necessary for the vari-
Gus suits of morning and afternoon
wear, including the numerous extra
pairs of trousers with which lovers of
cloth always indulge themselves. The
dress suit, to be preserved without
wrinkle, must, of course, be housed for
the journey by itself, and our traveller
will be lucky if he can crowd his nov
els, ties, collars, cuffs, brushes, hand
kerchiefs and hundred and one other
small necessaries too numerous to men
ton in the sixth trunk. A valisc, large
enough to check, and a small travelling
bag in which to put articles of use dur
ing the journey itself, arc sufficient in
their line. One hat case will be suffi-
cient, but it must be of the new three
story type, SO that the silk hat, the
derby and the soft hat may all be
stored in it. 1t, too, can be checked.
AS for material, sole leather is of
course the firmest and most durable,
provided You get it of full thickness.
For valise and bags alligator leather re-
mains stylish. The hat case, however,
will not serve it's purpose in any other
material than sole leather. The OK
pensc of such an outfit as have just
enumerated in detail would be about as
follows:
SIX trunks, costing from SIS to 1925 each. $500

Acquaintanccs may be made as read
lily in the railway carriage as on ship
board. Gentlemen chat with each other
without an introduction as freely as
they please. Do not force conversation
with your scat-matc unless he desires to
talk, and do not let him into your pri-
vatc affairs. The conversation will
necessarily assume the most general
character. Social restrictions that are
thrown for safety around young ladies
do not, however, ease up in railway
travelling. A gentleman of fashion has
absolutely no right to attempt to draw
a young lady into conversation,
though he may, if the occasion offer, do
her Il service, as, for instance, raising
the window for her, and if she be SO
unfortunate as to be travelling alone he
may aid her with her satchels in getting
off the train or in changing trains, but
he will by no means presume upon
these slight courtesies to force an ac-
quaintance with her.
Bills Of exchange, drafts payable to
your order and letters of credit are
necessary adjuncts to the travellers
purse. Never carry any large sum OF
money with you. 1t tempts you to spend
and it tempts weak-minded people to
appropriate it.
When you get to hotel be sure to Sc
lect room with lots of light, splendid
ventilation, and, above ali things, a
handy fire escape. 1t is the first thing
you will think of in case of fire, SO why
not make prime requisite when you
engage n room? On this point would
say to every man Of fashion, in fact, to
every trayeler, that If he can't secure
the best and handicst fire escape, one
absolutely without any difficulty to get
a., he should leave the hotel and find
one that suits him better.
