In large cities one sees hundreds of tiny

are times when we want to give trees

But be extremely careful to adjust it
well, so that it shall not press lightly

The woman who travels often and far
is such a common type in this restless
land of ours that it seems odd that she

Among her structures of ''the woman on
the wing" are the following, according
to the philadelphia Inquire" =
The average woman carries her bank
bills and tickets, and in many cases her
sanll change too, in chamois bag
pushed inside her corset-which appears
to be, with many women, the sole alter
native for a loose outside pocket, easily
picked. The wise traveller has neat
inside pocket made in the lining OF her
coat. where her little wad of bills reposes
in safety.
She never puts them in a purse, which
is in handbag, which is on light
chain or strap, which is hooked insecure
ly to her waist, or left lying on the seat
beside her in the car; and she never,
never, never slows away her cash in her
trunk 4for safety" Her tickets and her
loose change are in a small outside pock-
ct. Immediately come-at-able; and her
handkerchief, smelling bottle, etc., are
not in the same pocket, but in another,
or in the chatelaine bag, which is the
proper receptacle for such small articles
only.
Therefore she does not keep whole

ticket that has been sfirted out with her
handkerchief on the floor; she does not
keep prodding and fumbling at her gar
ments in a series of heart-shocking COZ
vietions that her pockets have been
picked, and she never finds herself whirl-

the city of her destination with ticket
