The package can be securely swung
under the saddle of the wheel or at
tached to the handle bars.
A lunch Is less easy to take, al
though one may be put into a paste
board box that can be thrown away
after the meal is disposed of. Those
walkers who tramped in Switzerland
and elsewhere know the advantage to
be found in a supply of sweet choco-
late, which is nourishment in so con-
densed form that if one has bread
and chocolate long walk can be
taken without faintness, even If no
other food is attainable. Anyone who
prefers cocoa or chocolate as drink
to tea may put small portion of the
prepared cocoa in place of the tea,
when he packs his pocket stove"

have spoken of the possibility OF
carrying a change of garments with
one on a bicycle trip. Everyone who
has covered much of the country on
horseback knows that a good deal can
be put in a rubber covered roll at
tached to the back of the saddle. or
that a good deal may be carried in
saddle bags. Something of the same
sort may be achieved by the bicycle
rider who enjoys going off for an
over night trip. This is delightful
method of making an excursion, since
it enables one to have the comfort of
travelling late in the afternoon and
early in the mcSning and spares one
the heat Of the middle of the day.
The best receptacle for such luggage
as woman will carry on bicycling
trip that extends over more than one
day is a hold-all made in shape like
large envelope-say fourteen inches
long by twelve in width. A good
material is cravenette or some other
water proof cloth. This may be lined
with linen. When it is full it may be
rolled into compact bundle and hung
by strap from under the saddle or
from the handle bar, and when it is
empty it is small parcel that can be
tucked into a pocket.
Into such a case as this may go the
woman riders nainsook nightdress, a
change of gauze underwear, ribbed
undervest she can put on if it turns
cold-although the sweater usually
takes the place of this-an extra stock
or two or few clean collars, handker-
chiefs and stockings and even a soft
silk waist with which to make a
change at the end of the day. A small
set of toilet belongings also, comb,
tooth brush, orangewood stick, powder
bag and tiny jar of cold cream may
go with them and there will even be
found space for spool of thread
needles, and scissors and thimble. ),
Thus supplied any woman may feel
herself readyto 60 off for two or three
days riding. with no fear of discom-
fort. A party that is well planned
and suitably chaperoned will find
there are not many pleasanter ways
of spending brief holiday than on a
trip of this sort. Now that it seems
to be an accomplished fact that every
woman who is not actually infirm or
otherwise incapacitated will ride a
bicycle this summer there is peculiar
interest in planning outings of this
sort. Whatever form they take. on
two wheels or on four, in trolley car
or boat. they can, not fail to be a
success If they mean refreshment and
renewal OF strength to strenuous
women and men.
