Tips from Foreign Tourists,

1t Is said that there are more people
going to Europe this season than ever
before in the history of ocean travel.
Among this great number there are, OF
course, many to whom it is the first trip
over. and some of these have sadly mis-
taken ideas concerning their outfit and
the various other rules and requirements
Of travel.
One girl who has often told her father
that she could 80 to Europe with him
for a three months jaunt II given a few
days notice and suit case has suddenly
found. after engaging passage-with six
months notice-that she cannot be COM
Portable unless they can take two steamer
trunks, two suit cases and two hand bags,
greatly to the annoyance Of her irate papa,
who cannot now withdraw from the project.
Every traveller tells a different story
about the wardrobe requirements of travel
simply because these requirements differ
so materially with each one.
Those who do not expect to participate
in any social life abroad. who have no
friends in foreign cities and carry few or
no letters Of introduction, may. indeed.
go with little impeachment and a light
heart; but those who are to have social
functions given in their honor at this place
and that must needs plan their outfit with
much forethought and care.
These are. however, seldom restricted to
limited time and amount, usually having
enough money and leisure to make those
preparations a pleasure and pastlme rather
than burden.
But for the usual summer tour Of mere
sightseeing the less hampering luggage
the better for peace Of mind and freedom
Of movement, as all travellers admit; for
abroad the American baggage system is
unknown, and travellers must constantly
look after and identify every individual
piece they own.
One girl who is going persists in not
taking flannel waist for the voyage,
though everyone who is familiar with the
trip knows that 1t is quite cold on deck
unless going to the Mediterranean ports,
and that wooden garments are absolutely
essential to comfort.
There are those who overdress for din
ner and the saloon. while many go to the
other extreme and imagine the eternal
shirt waist and short skirt to be the only
proper garb for all occasions, a mistake
which makes many travellers seem very
provincial
It is best to be on board an hour or two
before the ship sails having eaten a full
meal before embarklng, and to be lying
down with the head a little lower than
the body when the steamer starts.
In some cases crushed ice applied to the
hollow OF the throat is found efIacacious in
seasickness.
Be slow-and sure-in making steamer
friends.
