professional packers men excel women, but
not in making two things occupy the space

his trunk at the beginning of his journey
thinks it easy enough, and is probably i'm
patient when what he lays in Is taken out
again to be placed more wisely; but when
he has to repack it for the return journey,
and finds that however vigorously he jumps

then a white lining will give that tone. All
these little points are what make the gown
of today notiCeably smart and very attrac-

Whether because a very hot summer sea-

adopted universally the fashion of wearing
thin clothes, certain it is that almost with

SILK is undoubtedly tremendously IN favor

the different kinds of silk that ingenuity

Black silk is more and more popular all the

is not a fashionable color this year. Black
and white both have been rather put to one
