slider its special arrangement with a
view to accommodating luggage
There is no third party shipped for
honeymoon tour; the passenger list
includes only two, and the state Of
their minds is such that they usually
prefer to sit side by side on the front
seat. Therefore, the tonneau is your
baggage-room. The brides little
wicker trunk goes into that. 1t is
made Of materials to match the
basketWork used elsewhere for lunch
baskets, tool cases, etc. Her little
wicker trunk just fills the bottom Of
the tonneau, and it holds a change Of
clothes and a hat. all of them suitable
for wear at hotels that you repair to
along the route for dinner.
The Honeymoon Costume of
Bride and Groom
Is Warm and Comfortable
On top Of the bride trunk goes the
suitable rugs and rain overalls and the
dust coats for both of yeu There are
always three weights of rugs supplied
with d well-equipped motor car. The
fur set is Siberian dog, unless you
aim to follow the style. and then you
adopt the more expensive coon skins.

tails at intervals along the sides. 4

she puts on mOCcasin-s shaped high
boots Of fur that have tops reaching
clear TO her knees.
All these details for comfort and
convenience the owner Of the motor
supplies, and he also bends his intel

question of the tour itself He must
know where he is going and how, he
must also be sure to get the use OF
good roads and the privileges of the
best hotels en- route.
The Best Man Has Important
Duties in the
Arrangement of the Tour
AS the best man Of the average
groom is motorist of experience he
consplres with the benedict over the
itinerary, with d view to selecting
route that will be safe and pleasant
and sufficiently retired from the track
Of the average tourist.
A honeymoon motoring tour should
not last longer than one week, and the
course laid out for the car is kept a
profound secret from all the rest Of
the wOrld-even from the bride
The best man, who knows how to
inspire real gratitude, has the whole
tour beautifully mapped out by an
expert on big sheet OF stout, white
glazed linen. This he has bound in
heavy parchment covers, on which he
orders etched the name of the bride
and groom beneath the sentence, Our
Wedding Tour"
