Preparing For q Journey.

Jerome K. Jerome recalled with rev.
erence a habit of his methodical uncle,
who. before packing for journey. al
ways made a list" This was the
system which he followed. gathered
from his uncle's own lips:
Take piece of paper and put down
on 1t everything you can possibly re-
quire. Then go over it and see that
it contains nothing you can possibly
do without.
Imagine yourself In bed. What have
you got on? Very well: put it down.
together with a change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself
What do you wash yourself with:
Soap. Put down soap. 60 on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet What do you wear
on your feet? Boots. shoes. socks.
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head. What do you want be-
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made. he
would go over 1t carefully to see thn,
he had forgotten nothing. Then he
would 60 over 1t again and strike OUT
everything It was possible to dispense
with. Then he would lose the list.
