fort is to be commended. Many women
stick a soft felt hat a their handbags
lust for this purpose. A lace scarf or
some soft knitted trIfe is almost
indispensable for the night. In the
first place it protects the head from
daughts and the hair from coal dust,
and then in the morning it is blessed
covering for tumbled cocks and crimp-
ing pins on the way to the toilet room.
The travelled woman never completed
undresses herself in the sleeping car.
She removes her gown, shoes, loosens
her corsets, slips on wool dressing
Jacket or a dark wrapper and lies down,
conscious that If there IS an accident in
the night she is suitably attired to meet
it.
It is poor judgment to wear a fresh
gown on an extended journey. Many
women attire themselves as for a tea or
fashionable luncheon. The result is
that one night in the cramped quarters
OF q sleeping car section causes She
smart frock to look as il it had been
through a cyclone or some other severe
trial. Wear the second best stuff gown
in your wardrobe, one which has be-
come adjusted to your form, and which
you will not worry over il sudden
lurch i'm the train sends cup OF hot
coffee over its front breadth.
Lace shoes are much easier 10 man
age in q sleeping car than buttoned
ones. You know how, in the gray Of
the early dawn, when half asleep, you
wrestle with various garments I'm the
narrow confines of your birth, you wish
every detail 20 be as convenient as
possible. To button boots you must
twist yourself into the most difficult
of positions; lacing being directly in
front, is accomplished much more
easily.
However attractive broad white col
lars and cuffs NAV be in other places,
they are a decided nuisance in the
sleeping car; they soon become grimy,
the fresh ones are manageable In
your bag, and it is next 10 impossible
TO adjust them properly at the rate of
forty miles an hour. Ribbon ruches or
soft folds of silk at neck and wrist are
much more comfortable.
Let your hand bag contain bottle OF
Florida water, bay rum or cologne.
Nothing is more refreshing when trav-
cling. Let there be, also, sewing and
writing implements, soap-never under
any any circumstances use the soap
supplied by the rsiIroads-wash cloth,
smelling salts, lead hair Crimpers, man
icure set, shoe horn and hook Gf you
will bear buttoned boots, bottle Of
iisterine for mouth wash, extra hand
kercbieis, pins and hair pins.

AFENALE SINGLE PACKER

A Few months ago Washington had q
'gady Single packer" AN the Puget
sound lumbermen glowed with pride,
tnd Stephens g. Monaban, in whose
mill the "lady single packer was en-
Dfaged, were enabled 90 hire unmarried
workmen at reduced wages.
About two months ago Miss April,tor
that was her name, appeared as the
mill and asked Co see ''the boss" This
Individual was hurrieily pro-
duced, and 90 him, Miss April con-
fied her desire for a job az packing
shingles. The announcement is said 60
ave created so much ast0nishment
that &c stopped work for the day, but
the next morning Miss April was 40 a
packing frame making the shingles fly.
She was quick fingered, and led the
male packers q pretty race.
People used 90 come 20 see Miss April
manipulate shingles, and the hrm was
figuring OF putting a special brand
90 the market called "Apr.l No. 10
when she suddenly resigned. She gave
no reason, but a week aiterWard 10 was
learned that she had secured a position
as school teacher.

difficult to forget the beautiful picture
she made as "Gilda" ia "RigolettO, %
ascending the steps with lamp 10 her
hand, and Dausing to finish one Of the
most perfect trills which ever charmed
a cultured audience. No such singer
has been heard here since Adelina
Patti first came TO this country, and at
the charitable performance, organized
BY Jean de Reske, she received the rec
IGNITION which she merits.
The French basso, Plancon, is well
liked not only for his fine physique,
but for his splendid Voice and good
method. The company is very deficient
in tenors: Virgnas, the Spanish tenor
being decidedly ordinary, and De
Lucia simply atrocions: so it is not sur
prising that Jean De Reske Is power
ful attraction. As long as Nine.
Scalchi can sing two notes, she will
be an artist, but Der voice is very
much worn, and II she is not perfectly
well, the change is painfully apparent.
The Wagnerian operas, especially
"Die Meistersinger, did not meet with
popular approval, as Emma Eames had
not the faintsst conception Of the re-
ouirements Of her role. The chorus as
as a rule was bad, and every rspresen-
tation has been married By either an In
competent tenor or ragged chorus sing

ling colors contrasts that have offended
refined tastes for the last two years.
In wooden fabrics, narrow stripes,
small squares, checks and fancy weaYoS
are the first choice; frequently In two
shades OF the same color, producing
soft effect in strong lights, leaving be-
holders in doubt as TO which is the pre-
valling tone. In fancy tafeta silks the
same general ideas predominsts, and so
far millinery seems to be the held best
adapted to color display. Spring suits
do not as yet present any marked
changes, and while overskirts will DO
popular to q certain extent, they are
as yet in very modest form, with little
draping, being often only a second
skirt coming within few inches OF the
lower one. Round and pointed waists
or the familiar coat-bodice cut in points,
are all shown by leading houses, cor
sage trimmings Offering no special
novelties. Revers ars now worn every
where, single double and triple, extend
ing TO the outer edge Of the sleeves, in
many instances, and may be continued
across the back, like tiny cape slashed
up the centre.
Rosettes are much liked on skirts,
shoulders, belts and collars, and except
on tailor suits these last are soft with
invisible fastenings.
Spring millinery IS very gay gilt
capotes, gilt crowns, magenta satin,
miroir velvet, or brilliantly colored
flowers are toned down by black MORE
ribbon, black or white lace, black flow
ers or plumes frosted in jet, and a
fashionable hat without an intermix-
ture Of black is almost an exception.
Shapes vary from the smallest capote
TO the largest plateau, and trimmings
afford equal scope, thus enabling every
one TO select q becoming style. Very
rough straws or those combining sever
AZ colors are mnch in favor, and accor'

is laid over brms or punched at the
back, thrust through with huge jet
a., pins. No special style is notlceably
