her trip to the washroom.
 So much for the journey itself. Only a few things remain to be done, once the suitcase is again packed. the porter feed and she is at last on terra firma. It sometimes happens that for a time she is obliged to sojourn in a strange hotel. In this case she secures her room before her arrival. as, in the larger cities, at least, there is usually mo more room" for a woman arriving alone and unannounced. If her stay is to be short, she does not entirely un- pack. but she does take out and hang up all easily mussed articles. so as to retain their freshness. And, finally she at once ascertains the condition of all liquids and extremely perishable con- tents of her baggage.
 These are, of course. only few of the things which our practical girl does to insure a safe and pleasant journey. but others will immediately suggest themselves. perhaps improvements on her own plans. They show. at any rate. the general trend of her preparations. and will perhaps serve as the nucleus of an established system for some hith- erto careless and needless girl.

Shall We Keep a Journal ?

THE day of the old-fashioned diary
 is over. Its place has been en-
 tirely taken by the almanac and the memory book" There yet remain. however. more persons than one would think who religiously record their waking thoughts anl fancies in q journal. which tiey held far too sa- cred for alien gaze. The wisdom or such course Is doubtful
 Too often one Is tempted to put in writing sentiments and opinions that should never have seen the light of day, and of which OF is thoroughly ashamed later. Often, too, one con fides to the book personalities that have a way of falling into the hands of those tor whom they were never intended, but whom they may injure or estrange.
 There is, to my mind. but one excuse for the "journal habit" It is. at all events, better to confide ones secrets to an insensate sheet of paper than to confidante who may prove most dan gerous and false. Perhaps grand an- nual burning and renewing of jour nals would be the best solution to the -prohlem-and yet one does so love to treasure ones dead and gone gossip and confidencesi

them. Finally. if she is not a good traveller, she will probably feel the need of some of the little peppermint cachous, which are such a comfort in moments of nausea. and which can be carried without taking up any extra space. A simple convenience. too. and one which is within the reach of any one. is a small block of wood that can be used to keep the window open just bit. but not the entire width of the screen.
 Every girl should know how to fold her dresses properly. for if this pre-

sarfes go into small satchel or valise. Every liquid, be 1t ink. shoe blacking or what not. is wrapped in a pair of stockings. to prevent contact with hard surfaces and consequent breakage Her shoes and slippers she stuffs with odds and ends of all descriptions choosing such things as have not cases already provided for them. To the variety of these cases and kindred conveniences there is no limit Chief among them Is her shoe kit, an article she Is never without. In it are packed shoe thread, buttons and needles. polishing pastes, brushes. canton-fiannel polishers. etc.. and. by concession. materials for alarming stockings. Then comes the rubber-lined case which holds her tooth- brush, washcloth. brush and comb and other accessories of the toilet This she makes herself. using half a yard of cretonne in some figured design and buying sheet rubber at the druggists or the physicians supply house for the lining. Its entire cost Is not worth mentioning, and 1t Is twice as pretty as the expensive ones to be bought in the shops.
 PIN CASE IS NECESSARY
 Another of her necessaries is a fold ing pin case. In it she carries safety pins of all sizes. plain black and white pins and the ornamental colored head ed ones that every girl uses nowadays. This case is nothing more than a strip of silk or broad ribbon stitched together with one of canton flannel or eiderdown, and with bit of ribbon fastened at the middle of the silk with which to tie it
 Handkerchiefs. too. usually become mussed. <and are extremely hard to find without completely unpacking. and so a receptacle for them is really necessary. Two fve-inch squares of cardboard, covered with silk or some other material, will make an excellent one. Fasten with ribbons. or with ribbon elastic. using a bow on top as a finish.
 Another thing the practical girl is never without Is hairpin holder of some sort There are many varieties of these. those made of crocheted wool , being best in the long run. as the hairpins will not catch and break in

caution is taken her frocks will ap- pear smart and fresh much longer, and they will also wear twice as long. If carefully packed there is no reason why dress should not come out of 6 trunk at the end of a journey as fresh as when starting out
 Considerable tissue paper is a neces- sity. If possible. use boxes the exact length of the dress waists.

When Travelling Time
 Comes Round

n YEARLY every girl is privileged
 M to travel at some time or other. If it is not @ long journey
 s, across the continent or in for eign lands, she Is bound to take vacation, if 1t is only for the brief est sort of trip. She will. there- fore. need to. make preparations thoughtfully and systematically be- forehand. so that her mind may be free for pleasures without the an- hoyances of material worries.
 Our practical girl is very likely, in- deed. to be busy girl as well. All the year round she may sit at her desk, or her machine, or her work table, and dream of the summer, when for a time she can forget her work and revef in sea, or mountain, or country. Sometimes she is a teach CT, and then she can look forward to two or three months of this rest and delight; more often her occupation gives her but two weeks. or at most Q month. of leisure. But. however long or short the time may be. she is going to enjoy it to the utmost.
 TO AVOID WEAR AND TEAR
 Being common sense itself, she does not forget practical measures in the midst of her dreaming, and her trav- cling is made as little of an ordeal as possible by her many ingenious com forts and conveniences. From the moment of her departure to that of her return. her cleverness and utili- tarianism smooth her pathway and spare her the many irritations that confront the average traveller
 Her wardrobe preparations being completed. she begins with her pack ing. If she has but little closet room. and appreciates the convent ences of a wardrobe trunk in lieu of closet space after the good time is over. she will purchase such a trunk if she can afford 1t. as the initial ex- pense is easily compensated for by its later saving of gowns.
 If preparing for an ocean voyage and only a brief trip is in contemplation, she will buy a wicker trunk. which is light in weight and which will hold an extensive wardrobe. This will save the expense of luggage. which means so much in Europe particularly. In this event, she will carry a light Japanese basket for use on short trips. and which, if packed properly. will hold all the

The fronts should be turned over far enough to lay straight, Never turn back sleeves unless absolutely obliged to do so If there is sufficient room. lay the waist away perfectly flat
 To fold a skirt fasten the belt to- gether, then hold skirt firmly by the sides so center of front Is opposite center of back. The skirt will then naturally fall in folds. Put piece

of tissue paper between each fold. Pack all hats and furbelows with plenty of tissue paper in bows and feathers.
 Once having packed. the practical girl turns to the problem of making the journey itself endurable. She carries with her into the train a small pillow really baby pillow"-which she uses as rest for her back. As soon as she enters she removes her hat. places 1t in large paper bag. and dons @ soft cap instead. She removes her gloves. too, and in every way she can makes herself as comfortable as the condi- tions allow. She has not forgotten to provide reading matter for the trip. and so the hours pass quickly. until bedtime arrives. Then again her sensible turn of mind is display ed. She does not entirely undress. but puts on a dark. long kimono of some soft material that will not easily wrinkle. With ordinary large portiere pins she fastens the curtains of her berth. and upon these she hangs the many little things that she will need when dressing in the morn ing. and also her skirts. Prominent among them is a shorter kimono for

 Indeed. for short vacation trips at home she needs very little baggage, as properly packed suitcase and valise will meet all her needs. The first thing she remembers in packing. however and hotel maids could testify that it is

country. According to a Washington
correspondent. however. the attemp,
to force a denomination upon the
president Is doomed to failure, his
statement of Mr.. Roosevelt's position
being to this effect:
President Roosevelt has been made
the victim lately of a persisten, pro.
cession OF third term boomers, who
have invaded the White house and
have sought to secure from him some
declaration as to his political inten-
tions. To all of these people the
president has been a sphinx. He has
listened to opinions from states as
widely separated as Oregon and New
York to the effect that he will Ger.
tainly be nominated and elected IN.
less he does something to make it
perfectly clear to the people that he
will not have the honor at any price.
But the president listens in silence.
His accustomed volubility deserts him
when the talk is turned to a third
term. He has not reiterate his dec.
laration OF election night, 1904, and
he has given no one of his callers the
slightest assurance that he proposes
to make any such declaration in the
near future. The president stands on
his original pronunciamento, and be
does not seem in the slightest degree
disposed to reiterate it nor &c thank
those we'll meaning friends who 10.
sinuate that he did not mean what he
said.
The fact that the president does moi
at this particular time put out a new
declaration of his intention should
not be misunderstood. 1t would be
foolish for him to do it just now, and
SO In view of the fact that
the call for the election of delegat
has not been issued and the date and
location of the convention are moi yet
decided upon. Furthermore, it ought
to be evident to every practical politi.
clan that if the presidents declaration
on election night cannot be considered
now, any new statement issued
the White house would also be-
come out of date In a short time. If
the president could change his mind
in the last three years he could change
1t between now and the convention,
and politicians would get in the habit
demanding a new proclamation or
remuneration every week or two.
AS a matter Of self.protection and to
avoid constant annoyance the presi.
dent will be obliged to stand by his
original statement and to make no
new pronouncement on this subject
something in the nature of a
crisis has arisen, when the attention
of the public will be concentrated on
particular thing.
