4 DRESS TRUNK,
One Manufactured for European Tour
Most LnxuriOusly Appointed.

oDe Mnnu10ctureU EuFODean Tour
Most LuxuriOusIy Appointed.
From od.r, Society.
Probably the most complete and luxurious
dress trunk ever manufactured has just been
completed. under the personal supervision
of a southern bride. whose honeymoon will
be spent in Europe. This trunk Is mag
rificent piece of mechanism throughout,
and, In spite Of the unusual elaboration of
detail. Is very light in weight-a great de-
Sideratum when every pound of baggage
carried on continental railways is worth
good. honest money. The framework is of
aluminium, and the outside covering of allf-
gator skin. the front panel ingenously ar
ranged to slide back, showing a tier of long
drawers, each luxuriously lined with fiuted
white satin. One of these drawers is des-
tined to hold underlinen, another is for
tailor-made and promenade gowns, while
a third is guaranteed to carry the most
elaborate of ball frocks without a single
crush
Above these drawers are racks contain
ing hat and shoe boxes and various other
contrivances for gloves, ribbons, wells and
other feminine fripperies, while the top
rack is arranged to hold a most compact,
albeit complete, toilet apparatus of cut
glass, silver and tortoise-shell (Which for
convenience, can be lifted out of the trunk
and placed on the dressing table,, a writ
ing case, work materials and a miniature
tea equipage, each OF these fitting snugly
into its own individual compartment and
so firmly fixed that even the most fiendish
of railway porters will be powerless to
effect any damage.
Hidden away behind the drawers, where
a train or hotel robber would have much
difficulty IN locating it, is a jewel drawer,
lined with royal blue velvet. and a tiny sill
yer money safe with set of fairy ac-
count books, bound in blue morocco, while
the lid Of this veritable American ark
(Which, after all, is not so large as MANY
Of the mammoth trunks we meet when
traveling), holds large detachable mir
ror, and sundry straps for railway rugs,
umbrellas. waterproofs and other impedi-
menta. The prospective bride says her
trunk will contain everything she will re-
quire during year of travel; and her
feminine friends, who appreciate the useful
nature of all the contrivances and the
easy 'getatableness' of everything in the
trunk, are envying the fair possessor OF
wealth, which can so quickly convert an
ingenious idea into practical reality.
