Will arrive at her destination younger
than when she started and in just the
right mood to appreciate the further
pleasures in store for her.
Taking it for granted that a woman
does not undertake a pleasure trip I'M

the purse strings, she is recommended

but in practice a day coach is an
abomination. Railway lunch counters
on the five-minute plan are excellent
in their place-which is the comic sup
plement of the Sunday papers.
But to begin. Let the prospective
traveller look well to her luggage,
making it as light as possible. If she
does not stop en- route, an umbrella
will prove merely an incumbrance;
therefore it should be packed in her
trunk. Should she be compelled to go
from one depot to another in a large
city, she will find the omnibus or cab
service inexpensive and simple.
In planning her travelling gown, the
wise woman should select a light
weight skirt which, at the conclusion
of the journey, will lend itself easily
and cheaply to the services of a tailor
and presser. Over-trimmed skirts and
fancy waists are singularly out of
place on journey. A simple shirt
waist of silk or wool, preferably black
or some other dark color. will last the
entire journey. Experienced travellers
find comfort in boomers of soft black
silk or satteen.
In addition to her ordinary toilet arti-
cles, let her tuck into her grip a pair
of easy slippers, kimona of black
India or China silk and several turn
over collars or soft stocks, to make
her plain shirt-waist look trim and
fresh.
Once settled on the train she will
find her house slippers invaluable. and
owing to the vestibuled cars she can
even wear them to her meals in the
dining car Do not take lunch boxes
along. They invite a feeling akin to
seasickness.
The use Of the kimona is obvious.

undress in her berth is now the ex-

the word Ace, introduced into Persia
from Europe
AS" is exactly like poker, but with
out flusheS or sequences. There are
four players and each player gets five
cards, dealt to the right
The dealer puts down a stake and the
hrst player looks at his cards, just as
he would in Red Dog. America. Then
he says either "didam" or "nadidam. &"
'Didam" means Il have seen" and if
he says that, he covers the stake or
raises it. If he says 'nadidam" he
means Il have not SEEM and throws
down his cards.
If he wants to stradde he says ma
did didam," which means mot seeing,
l have seen"
The second player must cover the
stakes or can raise if he decides to
play. The third player and the dealer
then act exactly as in American poker
When all the stakes of all the players
are equal, and no game man evinces a
desire to do any more raising, the cards
are turned up and the player holding
the best hand wins the pot.
The hands in order of their values
are:
Sch va just. three and pair; full"
Sehta, threes, aces. kings. etc
DO just, two pairs; aces highest.
Just, one pair: aces highest.
When two players have the same pair
or pairs, the other cards decide, as, for
instance, pair of kings. ace, soldier,
and lakat.
The Persian poker artist knows all
about blufl1ng. He has a pretty name
for tt-tup zudan: 1t means literally
firing off a gun" A bluff is "tup."
In Persia it is not healthy to do any
tup zadan unless one is we'll heeled,
and can make very good indeed.

When the District Attorney of New

evidence to prove that every gambling

otherwise sophisticated persons who

there is no doubt that they were the
first dice At least, they were the first
dice so far as known. Perhaps some
day it will be discovered that epochs
before, the missing link itself threw
dice too.
From these colored pebbles in the
cave Of Mas DAHL to the art palace
of Garfield of New York, the history
of gambling forms almost an unbrok-
en- chain.
The gambler of to-day who talks Of
going up against the Eagle Bird, does
nothing new. The cliff dwellers of Col
orado went up against the Eagle Bird
long before America was discovered.
They played with gambling reeds and
a bowl, and on the bowls are the pic
lures of the bird Kwataka, which
means Eagle Man" This bird was
the patron of those long vanished
gamblers
"CroOked" Games Were Early.
That the Eagle Bird was as liable to
moral strabismus then as now is shown
by the fact that intricate safeguards
we're thrown around the game and be-
came more complex with each year in
order to protect the gamblers from the
dealer.
The Eagle Bird is not the only "old
one" In ancient East Indian gamblers
outfits are found ivory tigers which
were used as chips and are used now in
bucking the tiger of 1903 The Chinese
had game of dice several thousand
years ago in which the most difficult
throw was known as the Tiger. In an
other Chinese game there is a Roaring
Tiger.
The Lake jewellers were gam blers like
ali the rest Of sinful humanity. In Bo-
hernia and IN Berne are sticks marked
with concentric rings which were
thrown like dice. They have been found
in the remains Of many of the pile

clothes more surely than the tiny ham,
mock. In the morning she reverses
the operation, and has reason to bless
the kimona twice a day during her
journey. If silk is too expensive, cotton
crepe, in dark red or blue, may be sub
stituted.
Wel-tried and easy corsets are es-
sential to comfort during the day. If
anything more uncomfortable than the
seat of sleeping car has ever been
invented, few women have managed
to discover it. New corsets add to
the discontinue and, above all things,
are to be avoided
In selecting toilet articles, towels
may be counted out, as ample supplies
of clean linen are carried in every
sleeping car. but sponges or wash rags
should be taken along. The woman
with a tender skin will do well to
carry a toilet cream and use as little
water as possible on face and hands.
A small flask of liquor is most use
full in case of accidents or, as often
happens during the winter, when trains
are snow-bound. A gentle laxative
should always be in the bag, and ones
most dependable headache powder, as
we'll.
Eat in the dining car regularly, but
with discretion, avoiding rich entrees.
Two meals day usually suffice unless
one has an abnormal appetite. The
sensible woman sleeps as late in the
morning as the dining car call permits,
and then enjoys a leisurely breakfast,
the first course of which is fresh fruit.
When one spends the day lolling in a
sleeper, she has no desire for luncheon
unless ii be for fruit which she may
carry with her. Dinner is usually
served early. at or 6 O'Clock. so the
two principal meals are not so far apart
after all. One hint as to these meals
in the dining car. Do not allow the at
tendants to hurry you. The speed OF
the train and the anxiety of the wait
ers TO clear the tables and prepare for
other diners are likely to make one eat
with a rapidity that is fatal, especially
when com bined with the rocking motion
of the train. Ample time is allowed
for serving the meals as rule, and no
one robs some other passenger of a
place. save in the imagination of the
alert waiter.
Reading matter. such as magazines
and periodicals, may be purchased as
cheaply on board trains as at home, so
little need be carried. A deck OF cards

With all the new woman's Wanted
progressiveness, she has not yet mas
tered the art which seems to come
naturally to men-that of travelling
sensibly and comfortably. When a
man of affairs finds himself face to
face with a journey half way across
the continent he accepts it as a gift
from the gods-a rest and a respite
from the maddening rush of his daily
business life. A woman. pleasure
bound for the same destination, sees
in the railroad trip only an evil to be
recompensed by social attentions at
the other end Of the line.
In reality. the Journey is what she
makes 1t, either rest cure or a pur-
gatory Of unrest and nervousness. n
she looks al the situation sensibly and
drops some Of the provinclalisms
which cling 10 her despite rainy day
