THE WISE GIRL,
And How She Arranges for Comfort In n
Sleeping Car.

And How She Arranges for Comfort In n
Sleeping Car.
The wise girl knows that nothing il
quite so desirable for wear in the sleep
ing car as a wrapper of dark-colored
flannel. 1t may be stated as positive
fact that women who try to make
themselves look coquetish in sleeping
car, and wear ella borate negliges
or lace-trimmed wrappers, show ex-
tremely bad taste. Experience has
taught that a wrapper of soft
flannel in stripes of black and
blue, made in the simplest fash
ion, is most useful. When she
is ready to go to bed, and the
porter arranges her berth for her, she
goes to the toilet-room, taking with
her her shawl-strapped package. She
removes her shoes andvstockings, puts
on the knitted slippers that she has
taken out of her bag, removes any gar
ments which she pleases, and assuming
her wrapper, which has been folded in
her shawl strap, repairs to her berth.
After fastening the buttons of the cur
tains, she disposes of her clothing as
best she can, folding each article
smoothly and carefully, and placing
her money, watch and tickets in her
wrapper pocket. And then she should
try to rest - the porter will call
her in good season, and her ticket
will not be asked for during the
night. In her shawl strap, which
shows as it's outer wrapping a
shawl or travelling rug, she may
have her own pillow if she desires it..
But this is not necessity, as the cars
are supplied with linen that is usually
fresh and clean. In the morning the
wise girl will put on her stockings and
shoes in bed, leaving the lacing or but.
toning of them till later. Then she
will assume her other garments and re.
pair to the toilet-room, where she
should as expeditiously as possible
make herself neat, trim and fresh. that
her friends who are to meet her may
not find her dusty nor travel-stained.
This she should do quickly, that she
may not be classed among the women
who are the dread of all considerate
women on the parlor cars the women
who take and hold possession of toilet.

He Was Not an Execution.

A Detroiter, of very mild and placid
temper, had some business attended
to, or pretended to be attended to, by
IL Cleveland firm, and do what he could
by letter he could not geta settlement.
Finally he went there in person and
settled the matter.
ITS the worst ever saw, he said, in
parting.
"We've attended to good many peo-
ple's business, argued the head of the
firm.
But not as you have mine"
Eyes, quite the same"
'tOh, come Off" exclaimed the dis.
gusted Detroiter. "You can't stuff that
down my throat. If you had treated
very many people as you have treated
me, you would have been killed long
before ever heard of you," and with
that burst of anger he walked out per.
fectly satisfied Free Press.

known what illness was. At La Foret
he leads the life of country gentle
man, and rises at an early hour every
morning to look after his horses. His
physical activity is further indicated
by the fact that he frequently goes

In the technical methods of reform.
Why therefore should there not be or
gained a grand central industrial un.
ion. in which all of the legitimate avo.
cations of the country shall have place
and in which all local organizations
shall be factors, to formulate a declar.
alton Of principles satisfactory to al
OF them?
In such convOcation some pre-con.
eeived ideas by advanced thinkers
would of course find sepulcher. The
pet theories of some of our iconoclasts
would be laid upon the table. but the
pressing needs of immediate relief Ia

All who are interested in the reforms

the industrial organizations of the
