To StIouiS witha
Suit Case i

dozen or eight and then buy one or
two as you need them.
And now hold YOUR breath! If you
fold them neatly and wisely every ar
ticle already named VIII fit in the up
per portion of the case, and you can
strap the toilet stand in its own place,
though it must be admitted that the
buckle will not be in the original hole.
Shoes always seem to be a difficult
problem to solve. There is no denying
the fact that it is a decided rest to take
them off when they are hot and dusty
and slip into a cool slipper. and this
can be managed if you are willing to
adopt the soft Turkish shoe, that is SO
much Of a fad with the girl who makes
a speciality for her boudoir negligees.
The shoes that are the best for comfort
and for wear are the four-button rus
set ones: but they do not look smart
with all costumes and are barred for
this reason. \ patent or enameled kid
low shoe with a heavy sole and low,
Fat heel is TT, and looks better for gen
clal wear than anything else on the
market.
Beware Of blue or black for travelling
suits They are a snare and a delusion,
for while they are perfectly fit for home
use the minute you step aboard the
Pullman every particle of dust and dirt
on the road tries its level best to settle
in them and to show to the best of its
ability. Instead select nondescript
tan OF a serviceable gray. for both are
excellent for general hard wear.
Cotton shirt waists are entirely too
much Of luxury. besides they wrinkle
So easily that they are scarcely ever fit
10 be worn before they have made the
ACQUAINTANCE of the hotel fiatiron,
which means parting with both silver
and time.
But as there are scores of soft. shim-
merry silks you need not feel so badly
about the loss of the cotton. Crepes are
especially good. for they may be worn,
given a vigorous shake or two and, 10
and behold, are ready for the fray
again. But any color that you will, for
what would be vastly becoming to Jane
would make a fright of Jill. But one
thing should be insisted upon. and for
two most excellent reasons-see that
the cuffs and neck are finished in the
regulation shirt waist style. for white
cuffs and collars that button securely
in place are a treasure indeed. They
are not only neat and trina appearing
but are q great saving TO the waist, fol
no matter how particular you may be
you cannot hope to keep a silk collar
fresh-lOoking for long. and there is nc
one thing that gives such an untidy
appearance as soiled collars or linen.
Soft ribbons certainly are comfort
able on warm days, but they are en-
tirely too expensive if your pocketbool
is not We'll filed. To be sure, top collars
are A great saving. but as one is moi
complete without the other these days
it is better policy to invest in plair
lawn ties. They are hemstitched, and
look dainty and sweet when fresh, and
as it costs but cents to send them tC
the laundry there can scarcely be al
excuse for having them in other than
the pink Of condition. Silk ties to match
your waists are good, but the best O
silk never stands the ravages of the
tub half as well as linen; so you may
pay your money and take your choice
This year smart silk suits are so ve-y
popular that one made of black taffeta
should answer for a dress up gown
: For instance, a pleated skirt with z
fancy jacket will fold up into a sur.
prisingly small space. and the wrinkles
will likewise very obligingly fall out il
