Boston Post.
How 10 travel in sleeper without
becoming entirely worn out is an es-
sential few women understand. The
average woman puts into her last day
of preparation work enough to fill two
days, hurriedly dresses and packs her
grip at the end of it and enters the
sleeper tagged out.
Then, although she would like so
much to lie down. because she is a
woman she hates to ask the porter to
make up her berth first. Instead she
waits until most OF the other travellers
have gone to their slumbers, when,
with no attention to her toilet but a
hasty washing of the face and hands,
she goes to her rest. In lieu of a
nightdress she wears some of her I'M
derclothing and loose waist.
She is so tired and so thankful to
lie down. But she cannot sleep, try
as she will, and the whole night long
she losses and dozes, waking at every
stop Of the train. In the morning she
takes her turn with the other women
at the dressing room, puts on her rum
pied clothing and goes out, old and
gray looking, to be met at the station
by someone on whom she wishes par
ticularly to make a good impression.
All of which happens because the wo-
man doesn't know how to travel.
This is not the way to do it at all,
When a journey is contemplated wo-
man should consider the strain it will
be upon her vitality, even under the
lest conditions, and should prepare to
meet that strain. Nothing must be
left for the day on which the journey
commences excepting what cannot be
done before. But preparation should
begin even earlier than that.
Preparing Tor Journey.
EARLY to bed" is motto that should
be observed particularly the night pre-
ceding the journey, and early TO Tise'

take some precautionary measures, for
a journey should never be undertaken
unless every function of the body is in
proper working order.
Spend the morning in packing your
grip, and be particular that it con-
tains a number of toilet accessories
Many women object to extravaganza
in these matters, and true thrift often
is commendable, but economy and COM
fort never went hand in hand on n
journey and the wise woman leaves
the former at home.
So into that grip put iirst a towel

In the way of garments for the Jour
Eey 1t is well to take an extra set
of underclothing. 1t is true you put
on fresh ones when starting out. but

may be tied in with pretty ribbons
Finally, have fetching dressing jack

you wear an underskirt in which you
can go from your berth to the dress

Having packed your grip, take lunch

as the men would say. Lay out your
clothes for the trip, do little fussing
here and little there, until two hours
have elapsed. Then take a thorough
bath-first warm scrub, then a cold
spray or plunge-and dress for your
journey. After that good dinner, eat
en- without any nervousness or hurry,
and you are ready to take your train.
