GOING 70 THE GREAT FAIR.

VI course every one VINO can Vlslt
he Great Fair will do so. And IN or
Ter that all oar readers may have ex-
raordinary facilities We have made eX-
raordinary arrangements which may
oe found upon an other page. But
hat is lot what We wish to talk about
ust now. Neither are We at present
concerned about the routes We shall
AXE; rather are we interested in the
mount and kind of baggage which We
Ill carry.
There are, first of all, two points to
De settled: What we can do without,
and what We must have.
Very obviously we can do without
inery of every descr iption. In all the
Dultitudes that will tbronR the great
WHITE CITY, there will not be one per-
Ion who will care, or, probably, know
InythIDg that any visitor may choose to
wear. There will be SO many "out-
al dish" costumes from all nations be-
heath the sun that none of them will
attract a glance save as they may be
considered objects of curious interest,
Ike the other exhibits. Therefore
every thing that we carry should be
purely for service. All jewelry save
that which is plainly useful should be
eft at home. A watch Is now so in
iispensable that it no longer ranks as
an article OF luxury; neither do sleeve
buttons, collar buttons, plain, strong
brooch, q wedding ring, or a single
watch guard. But necklaces, rings,
bracelets, or earrings, are all SO much
Iuperfiuous bother. The police ar
-argement at Chicago may be ever so
excellent, but there will be thieves
snough to outwit them If people are
Tlly enough to provide the bait.
Chicago is said to be a very hot City
n summer time, therefore We shall
need thin nder-clothing, though al
ways of wool. 1t is also liable to very
,udden changes of weather and to high
winds, therefore We shall need some
extra clothing. To carry the things
really essential we shall need either a
very large valise, or a small trunk.
The latter is best became that we shall
have to give to the baggage express,
and we might be tempted to carry the
Ealise, notwithstanding that every un-
! necessary fatigue must be carefully
avoided.
A woman who spent a week at the
Centennial Exr rOsition in Philadelphia
IN 1876 is going to Chicago in June,
and tells us her plans based on ex-
oerIence.
"I shall take," she says, ga steam
,r trunk, such as passengers TO Europe
Use in their staterooms. 1t is small
enough to be light and portable, and
to slip under the bed in case of my
being sb to get only a small room.
In this trunk l shall put a change OF
night wear and of light wooden under
clothing, together with a chsmois-skin
under waist, and a kuitted-wool div1d-
ed-sElrt, as extras for unseason8bly
sold weather. [ shall take as many
pairs of stockings as L intend to stay
days, and each shall be of best
make, without seams or darns
to vex the feet. l shall wear soft,
light, flexible shoes, and take an extra
pair In the trunk, wearing one pair to-
/ day, and the other tomorrow alter
nately. A pair of shoes that has rested
over a day is easier for the feet These
shoes must not be old enough to be
shabby, of course, but woe TO the poor
wretch who attempts to wear new
onesl A 7 air of the softest and thin
nest rubber shoes goes also into the
| trunk. An uml rella that may answer
! for either sun or rain L must take in
my hand.
81 have bought waterproof cloak
of fine English crevelette, and shall
wear it as u duster or rain cloak as may
be necessary. A cloth waterproof has
many advantages over one of rubber.
Besides this | shall have light weight
