amiss for the rest of womankind. The
observance of them can at least be
guaranteed to save tempers from ten
sion and dresses from destruction.
These rules simply formulate the
right way of going at the thing, and
the right way is ever the simplest way
and the easiest way.
To begin with, don't be afraid OF
crowding your clothes. A trunk jam
med to the cover and the latter jump
ed on to get ii closed, is in far less
danger of disaster than one that is
half filed. In the latter trunk no
matter with what nice precision you
have folded things and laid them in
their proper corners, you won't find
them that way when you next meet
them. At the end of your journey, on
the contrary, the interior of that once
orderly trunk will look as if it had been
stirred up with a stick.
The trouble is that when it was
knocked about and thrown around in
transportation, things inside wouldn't
stay. 1t is only when every inch OF
space is filled in that they will stay
put" For that reason, pack your
trunk as full as it will hold, and re-
member that success depends on leav-
ing not the smallest nook or Granny
for things to rattle about in. Take
more clothes than you expect to wear,
If necessary, TO fill your trunk.
1t is the best plan to spread every
thing out on the bed at the outset, that
the assortment may be in plain view
from which you can select always the
article you need for a given niche Line
the bottom of the trunk with under
wear laid fiat. 1t serves as a good
foundation, and it is also a protection
against moisture or dampness for
more delicate articles. Place heavy
articles next. Breakables must be put
as near the center as possible, sur
rounded by soft stuffs and wrapped in
some article of clothing, a petticoat
perhaps. is as good as any other. on
top of the underclothes may be placed
heavy wraps, If you have them. Next
should come dress skirts. Meanwhile
watch your corners, close them up as
you go along. Shoes wrapped separ-
ately in clean papers make excellent
| filters, as do also stockings turned into
balls.
Care must be exercised when you
put the skirts in. Place cloth ones
| first and silk and muslin ones on top
Each should be folded three or foui
| times lengthwise from the centre to tbs

On the top of them lay the dress waists
Remember that the waists must FRS

| in order to insure the preservation
of their shape. Stuff it into the sleeves

ribbon loops. If you do this carefully
the waists will survive the trip as fresh
as at the start.
On packing hats in the hat box OF
the tray, be sure to fill in all the
chinks, and stuff them all about either
with stockings or with tissue paper.
Don't, as you value your clothing
put either a bottle of ink or a bottle
of shoe polish anywhere beneath your
trunk lid. However carefully you
pack it. the chances are that Ii will
smash and dye your very best frock
on the Journey. It is sure 10 cost a
great deal more than will the time and
trouble involved in the purchase of a
bottle of the stuff at your destination
Jewelry is another thing which you
should on no condition pack in a trunk
There is too much danger of losing It.
Keep Ii somewhere about you instead
OF course this seems like sarcastic ad-
vice to a pocketless woman who has
been warned also time and again never
to put valuables in her hand bag.
But fortunately somebody's ingenu-
ity has devised a means of relisf from
the perplexing situation. The leather
stores are selling little chamois bags
in which to carry both your jewelry
and your money. These bags fasten
with a snap clasp. They Sost only
rs or 50 cents, and they are en- i'm
mense saving in anxiety. You can't
possibly lose one. There are two
compartments In them, one for Jewels
and one for money.
At the Table
The years have sped since first I led
You to the table, dear.
And you sat over there alone
And / sat smiling here.
A year or two new past ana you
No longer sat alone;
A little one was in your arms,
Your darling and my own.
And then another year or so,
And some one else was there,
And Willie sat near me, you know,
While Trottie claimed your care.
The years have sped since first I led
You to the table, dear,
And you looked queenly at the foot
And felt kingly here.
To-day as / look down at you
On either side I see
A row of hungry little ones
All gazing up at me.
We've added leaves. one after one,
And you are far away
Aye, thrice as far. my dear. as on
That happy, happy day.
But though we sit so far apart
You there and up here
Two rows Of hearts from my fond
heart
Stretch down to you, my dear.
Thank God for every extra leaf
The table holds to-day.
And may we never know the grief
OF putting one away.
