1t stands to reason that. before starting
upon any trip, the ticket and itinerary
should be arranged carefully beforehand
and all further annoyance with regard to

full never to leave the berth until all be-
longings have been collected in ones bag.
Otherwise there may be the danger of hav-

Princess bathing suits. which promise to
be decidedly popular for women, are very
attractive for children, although they have
not yet appeared IN most of the shops. A
one-piece suit, which be put straight
on over the boomers without any belts,
plastrons: or skirts to fasten, Is. of course,
very practicable where there are several
children impatient to be dressed and out
on the beach. A princess dress with the
belt taken in in small tucks would be apt
to be very becoming to most little girls
much more so, In fact, than to their older
sisters OF course. such bathing suit has
to be made. with some little care, but with
children a perfect fit is decidedly unneces-
sary. Lightweight material must be used
for such g. suit Heavy flannel would drag
too much from the shoulders and be too
bungiing.
II child for whom the suit Is intended
Is at all vain, however. or the resort where
she is to spend the summer is large and
vulgar one. 1t would be unwise to have the
suit at all conspicuous. For little girls
who are at all inclined to be vain and who
rather like to attract notice plain dark
blue sailor suit should be provided. as IL
is most deplorable for a little girl to be
interested in her appearance. instead of in
natural, childish good times. For women
the princess suits are made In silk almost
altogether. but for little girls they should
be OF mohair or very lightweight serge

the suit Is by having ii handsomely en-
broidered. If a long jacket is chosen-and
the long coats, particularly for driving and
travelling, have by no means passed from
favor-it may be embroidered all over in
some open and effective design or simply
relieved by an embroidered collar and wrist
bands, either worked directly upon the ma
terial or separate, white II on the collar, or
of some bright becoming shade If the cos

Most attractive are short embroidered bo-

embroidery are simply finished all around

Taffeta batiste is a material closely akin
to linen, and is sufficiently heavy to stand

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
A Few Timely Hints on Being Cour.
teous Traveller

Rank Imperialism we Americans have
been called, but let her who courts disaster
be anything but democratic when she
would a-traveling go and listen to her tale
OF sorrow when she returns You will de-
eide that democracy Is the newest thing IN
travelling courtesy and in planning for
your vacation trip you will expend as
much time upon its cultivation as you give
to looking up train schedules and rates
The reason for this Is obvious; when you
step on board a Pullman or a steamer
plying one of the inland waterways. you
become an inhabitant for one night or sew
eral days of little world wherein all men
and women-are free and equal. All the
squeichtng trappings of rank. the artificial
framework by which people of wealth
manage TO hold themselves above the COM
mon herd. are left behind and the traveller
stands with something OF the simplicity OF
the members of the first garden, relying
upon his or her innate worth for distinction
above his fellows.
An eminently satisfactory arrangement Is
this to the person of moderate means who
never feels so grand as when occupying a
section in a Pullman, for then he Is as
good as anybody. but 1t Is calling in the
extreme to persons who have rested always
upon their social status. One old lady who
had stood the dead level for two days con-
veniently discovered shortly before reach
ing New York that her baggage had gone
astray. An unassumfng woman would have
spoken to the conductor and that would
have been the end of the matter. Not so
with our ambitious fellow-passenger. She
paced the aisle. franetically exclaiming:
Send II TO the Holland House, New York!
Send II to the Holland House, New York;
Send Ii to the Holland House, New York;
until there was not the least possibility OF
a doubt that every one in that car knew
she was sufficiently endowed with this

telry She was unconscious that she had
made precious fool OF herself and that
every one was laughing up their sleeve al
her ili-concealed intention.
Equally as pathetic Is the woman who
parades all her jewels whenever she goes
on tlnket. She misses such good time
through trying to appear impressive The

Original Spades.
From .he Tattler.

from he Tattler.
One of the greatest trials OF bridge Is to
cut with partner who tells you that he.
or she. always makes an original spade
with hand that contains less than two
tricks, and hopes you will do the same.
Now, although the best players have long
since made up their minds that. with the
score at love. original spade call is not
a profltahie proceeding. many good argu-
ments can be adduced In favor OF the prac-
tice. 1t is obvious that II. without q sin
gle trick IN your own hand, you leave the
declaration to your partner you expect him
to hold seven certain tricks. which he Is
very unlikely to do. On the other hand,
yoa may find that he holds u hundred aces
and sundry other good things. The stand
point, however, OF the player who declares
an original spade on a Marlborough Is quite
distinct from that of the player who never
leaves it unless he has two tricks in his
hand

woman who thinks travelling bore Is the
one who shuts IN like clam from the
time her husband kisses her goodbye until
she has arrived at her destination. she
eyes everybody with suspicion and would
soon jump off the moving train as give
or take information. Such person IS
guilty of lese ma jeste to our most cher-
ished canor-den1ocracy, and she Is pun
ished by having miserable time OF 1t
whenever she leaves her fireside. She is the
sort who piles up the seats. the aisle ana
the backs OF other. seats with her belong
ings and considers anything like simple
courtesy an impertinence. She ought TO
take lessons in enjoyment of any seemingly
unfortunate circumstances from a young
girl who was recently relating her expert
ence in getting a seat on a crowded SUD-
urban train. They were all filled up, she

Petticoats deliberately
Hand-Enlbroidered

Even the most ravishing silk petticoats
have for the moment at least, TO give place
IN feminine regard to delicate lingerie crea-
lions. The lingerie frock undoubtedly Is
incomplete without equally elaborate
and fine handmade petticoat And with
summer suits of silk, mohair and wolfe
the last, of course, requiring the silk drop
skirt-the beautiful lingerie petticoat is GER
tainly an exquisite addition to the toilet.
Even those women who resent underskirts
of any description, save the silk drop skirt,
as menace to their slenderness of figure,
are yielding to the allurement of the ex-
quisite lingerie petticoat. OF course, It
has always been favorite part Of wom-
ems wardrobe. But now, under the infiu-
ence of the overwhelming lingerie wave,
perfect craze has risen for white petticoats
of individual styles and exquisite workman
ship.
There are two principal parts to be OBJ
served In the new pettcoats. They must
be handmade and very beautifully made
and the material should be of the most
beautiful-g grade of handkerchief linen which
the pocketbook Will permit. OF course,
nainsook and batiste are still used to
large extent but undoubtedly the latest
craze is for the fine handkerchief linen pet
ticoat.
The skirts are made with deep yokes. 1T
ting tightly over the hips. very fun founces,
which are sometimes very deep. but in
other skirts are quite narrow.
One very new Paris model has tightly
fitted yoke on the sides going up very
sharply In the back and extending down
the front in a narrow panel to the very
bottom of the skirt The bottom part of
the skirt Is In the shape OF very deep
Aounce. More than two-thirds the depth of
the skirt is set on either side OF this front
panel, which at the bottom of the skirt
gives the effect of a box pieat. At the
back the ffounce part of the skirt reaches
nearly up to the belt, so much does the
yoke slope up. In the Paris model the
entire skirt was made of embroidered hand-
kerchief linen. About two-thirds from the
top of the skirt a broad ribbon was run
through heading all around the Aounce

they are really a sort of Barbecue also.
Get some fine large sweet cherries. either
ox-hearts or California cherries, or the or

more than necessary and arrange them in
layers in a porcelain kettle with sugar in
the proportion of three pounds of sugar to
one pound of fruit. Let this stand all night

New Designs IN Bathing

Mohair is now used for childrens bath

the flannel suits are best. The standard
shades OF navy blue and bright red are the
most attractive colors for the children's
suits.
Until FIVE years OF age the little girls and
boys wear the same kind OF suits. made
like the rompers OF cotton which are used
for playing. Nothing could be prettier than
