NO Longer Any Need to Go Through Eu-
rope With Them.
UP to times within the memory of
hvihg men almost no one Of means
Travelled through Europe without a
courier. Before railroads were built
ana before good guidebooks were print
ed ne was almost indispensable. His
TRIBE survives, but in greatly dirnin-
ished numbers. To the self reliant trav-
eler he Is Of no use whatever. Indeed
ne is frequently positive incumbrance,
ana worse. To my mind ono of the
great pleasures of travel is in learning
to travel BY myself. There are satisfao-
ton, pleasure and education in plan
mig routes, dcciphering time tables,
making bargains, learning by observa-
ton tho lay of the land.
The time may have been when O
courier could save traveller more than
his cost. Most certainly that is not the
case now. On the contrary, as he gets n
percentage en- every purchase his party
makes, which, Of course, comes out of
the purchaser in increased price, and
as 1t 10 o.tcn for his interest to advise
the more costly route, the more costly
motel or the rccra costly excursion, no
eats up much more than his wages,
while saving positively nothing. Bean
declares that in two weeks trip in
southern Spain, which he made side by
side with couple having a courier, he
invariably reached the hotel first, got
better rooms and saw all the sights to as
good advantage, yet the courier was, of
his kind, iii expert. Tho fact is that
travel has become so general, tourist
companies, railroads aud landlords havo
so well studied its needs, books arc so
plentiful, that you couldn't very we'll

you tried.-Herbert Luce in "Going

Make Your Own Hat rrunk

Tho New York Sun tells how to make

mon packing trunk without tray
This will accommodate st least eight
hats by putting Il cushion at each end of
tho trunk, two upon the bottom, two on

ply each cushion with two long hatpins
for fastening the hats securely in place.
Such trunk may be made not only
useful when ono is travelling, but also
while one is at home particularly
where closet room is much needed, by
fitting q thick pad over the top of tho
trunk. Cover this with pretty cretonno
and have plated valance that reaches

sofa pillows, this piece of furniture
will prove desirable and convenient.
The cushions are supplied by making II
required number Of bags or pockets of
drilling or some thick material and
stuffing them very full of curled hair
Tack these filled pockets to the inside
of the trunk, finishing the edge and
covering the nails by lacking on cotton

Robbed By Her Friend.

A young Portland girl was found in
the Union station yesterday afternoon in
aSsemi-insensible condition and taken to
the Temporary home. 1t was afterwards
learned who she was and she was re-
moved to her home.
The story the girl tells is rather pecu-
liar. She had been employed.at hotel
at Kennebunkport and with Biddeford
girl and another girl was on her way
home. The second Portland girl saw
nothing of the other two after they got
on to the train until they both alighted
at Old Orchard. The train stopped there
several minutes and before it started she
got out to look for her friend. She found
her half insensible and helped her on to
the train.
The girl claims that she was given
knock-o out drops by her Biddeford friend,
who relieved her of all her summer wages
which she had with her. The other girl
says she knows the young woman had
the money when she COTTON to the train
at Kennebunkport.
