How to Pack g Trunk.

The secret of good packing is firm ness and smoothness, and to attain these everything should be put in the trunk in layers. Before putting Il the dresses have firm layer of undergar- ments and then proceed with the thick est and heaviest of your skirts. The skirts should be folded as nearly as possible in the folds they take in wear. See that you lay the skirts alternately in different directions, so that if the waistband on one is to the left side of the trunk the waistband of the next is at the right side, for thus the level will be preserved. Between light and dark dresses place towel to prevent the for mer soiling the latter. Fold bodices as far as can be in the lines which they take upon the figure. Put stiff, lightly crushed paper into the sleeves and also into bows and outings to prevent their being creased and then pack as tightly as convenient. When taken out of the trunk they will be found uninjured.
