pearance fitted with lock which, lifted up
or down. opens or closes the case.
Talking of suit cases reminds me Of a
scheme devised by woman who spends
much of her time on ocean steamers. She
finds it much easier to carry a suit case
and large telescope bag and to dispense
are put into the suit case and the tele-
scope is separated, and the two parts are
placed under the berth to act as drawers.
In one side the deck clothes are kept and
in the other half nightclothes by day and
day ones by night. In this telescope
stocks and collars may also be slowed.
Another good idea this traveller advances
Is that of hanging the shore hat in a
roomy bag and suspending it from the
ceiling. Toilet articles are most getable
when kept in pocket on the wall.
Handy Ways.
A great deal of difficulty Of packing and
the fatigue of travelling can be done away
with II one has at hand a few contrivances
and comforts. In packing an ordinary trunk
many backache is spared if the trunk is
raised a foot or SO from the floor on Sc
cure foundation. Then, waist envelopes
made of muslin eighteen by twenty-five
inches are convenient to slip shirt waists
into with their accompanying belt. stock
and pins. And a good way to keep dresses
smooth is to fasten four rows OF hook eyes
in the inner side of the trunk four inches
apart and draw tape taut through the
eyes. w men a OEeSS Is IOlQeu ana placed
in the trunk pin it to the tape with safety
pins.
A safe way to pack small quantities of
medicine toilet articles is to put them
in tiny bottles inclosed in old glove fingers
and tie them on. Then pack all the bottles
in a tin pail without handle, put the top
on tightly and bury among the clothing.
If bottles are carried in the usual way
rubber shoppers will be found less likely to
work out of place than those made of cork
When the STOPPER Is well in the bottle give
it twist all the way around, and it will
not come out till one twists 1t back again.
Useful Helps.
When travelling on train a square of net
to hang before the window of ones berth
will be found welcome protection If one
wants to dress when the train stops at a
station. And a black silk long kimono is
another Indispensable travelling accessory,
also a mob cap made of the same black
China silk to slip over the hair TO keep out
cinders. Wearing the black silk kimono,
one may pass through the car feeling less
deshabille than IL clad in loose morning
jacket.
How many travellers, l wonder, know that
some kind of cushion or pillow placed under
ones writing pad when trying to write an
important letter will take away the jar of
the train and help the task wonderfully :?
And if you are wise enough to travel with
few flax seeds a great deal of pain and
annoyance will be avoided when the iney-
liable cinder flies into the eye.
1t is hardly necessary to add that in
Guided in the travelling equipment when a
long journey is contemplated should be a
case containing. a pair of small scissors
needles, thimble and several speeds of black
and white cotton One never knows when
emergency will arise for their use and
they more than pay for the small amount
OF room they occupy.
