Etiquette of Train Travelling
Often PerplexeS Girls, Alone

The average girl who works has little
time for travel, so that when her vaca-

trots to the railroad station. She is of
ten puzzled as TO the methoos of pro-
cedure, her mistakes are legion and her
| inexperience sometimes causes her
much embarrassment.
A few suggestions as to what to do
and how to do # may not come amiss,
therefore, to the girl who is going on
aer first long trip, who will stay all
aight on the tran, and who will there

sleeping car etiquette, and Of dining car
refreshment.

much baggage. Pack most OF your be-

WOMEN LEARNING

In this country. as yet, little or no in
terest Is taken in their repair But the
contents of circulating libraries. great

Of musical associations, churches, and
others, call for persistent terrifying and
repair.
Manual training with its taste OF ele-
mentary bOOkblnding is slowly awaken

When you enter the train take off your

Hospitality Does Not Mean
Boarding All Your Friends

There is a lot Of nonsense written
about hospitality. A woman need not
be a selfish beast just because she does
not wish to run a hotel for her hus-
bands family and business friends.
There are few households so perfectly
regulated that people dropping in do not
prove disconcerting
Even the truly hospitable woman has
seasons when she would thankfully be
free Of guests No matter how smooth
~ things run the mere effort TO enter
tain a constant succession of company
strains the sense of welcome.
Do not. therefore. reproach yourself
Il you feel compelled TO demonstrate
when husband or children overdo the
guest habit The mother has some
rights and no one should blame her If
occasionally she likes a meal with her
family alone.

tally may slip up-in oyerattention and
