THE ART OF PACKING.

II is a difficult art, even at its SIM
plest wherefore it has become one of the
new professions to which woman turns
for a livelihood. 1t offers no difficulties
TO men. because few of them ever real
ize that it is an art. They simply throw
a few things into a bag" after the deb
OMAR manner of the heroes of society
fiction, and. when packing for longer
absence. vary the mOdns OperGRdf merely
by throwing many things into a trunk.
They devote serious care TO the folding
Of their outer garments, but their con-
centTation in this is SO great that the
garments themselves are as often rs not
put in the wrong place-at the bottom.
On top of them come. pell-mell. as the
packer happens TO see or remember them.
underwear and boxes of cigars, shoes,
books. tennis rackets. 3 camera, coat
hangers. collar boxes. shaving apparatus
and what not. The average mans print
tive notions of packing can be reduced
10 two general principles, both of them
wrong The first is to pack loosely ia
stead Of tightly: the second, an impress
sion that the whole trunk is to be IN
packed Immediately on arrival. This I'M
preston is not so far wrong, after ali,
because. owing to their lack of system.
men can generally not find one single
thing in their trunks without overhaul
ing all the others.
Not SO woman She plans carefully
before she begins to pack, and carries
cut her plan. She is going to live in
her trunk it is going to be her ward
robe; wherefore its map SO TO speak, is
carefully impressed upon her memory.
Garments that cannot bear crushing are
packed SO that they cannot be crushed.
Tray No. ! serves a far different
purpose from that of tray No. =,
though their contents may look exactly
alike to stupid man. ,snOes and books
are ingeniously made to serve purposes
of filing out and steadying Rustling It's
sue paper and white coverings play An
important part The trunk, when closed,
NAV travel on its side or on its lid with
out disturbing its contents There are.
of course wardrobe trunks. hat trunks
and shoe trunks, the luXuries of travel,
but your good woman packer can man
age very we'll without them, much As she
appreciates them. Her things will
emerge from an ordinary trunk as fresh
and dainty as they were on the day of
their delivery by the dressmaker, her
blouses as immaculate as when they left
the Iaundress's hands. And, marvel of
marvels TO mere man. she will know
where 10 find even the smallest article Of
her outfit.
But what q difference between packing
for departure and packing for the re-
turn home The contents of the trunk
have done their service: at the end of
the return trip they will find awaiting
them all the cOnveniences that make
their state Of emergence secondary con-
sideration. But again the woman will
pack systema ticall. and tightly, the man
loosely and without method.

The KINGS OATH.

We should be surprised If there were
not some more or less agita ted COM
ments supOn the coincidence Of the con-
secration Of the Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral al Westminster and the Introduction
i'll the House of Commons Of q bill
modifying the phrasing of the Kings
coronation oath by emitting the vigorous
Reputation and denunciation of GER
tain doctrines or practices of the Church
of Rome The notion that there was
any connection between the two occur
rences would be fantastic but no more
so than some of the contentious which
have been put forward Oh both sides of
the controversy over the oath
The purpose Of the oath was and is.
Of course. TO assure a true Protestant
succession to the throne. That. with
out offence to any one, may be regarded
AZ entirely proper. England has as
good a right TO insist upon the Prot
estantism Of her sovereign as Spain or
Austria has 10 insist upon Catholicism
or Turkey upon Mahometanism. The
question is in what terms II is neces-
sary To require the sovereign to declare
his faith. When the existing oath was
framed the OdiHm eccLeSidSticum was
far more bitter and outspeken than it is
now and expressions were common in
controversy which would now he intol
BILE. Moreover there was a suspicion.
which we must confess was pretty we'll
justified by the conduct Of the Stuarts.
that king might perjure himself. or
betray his oath through some mental
reservation. unless he swore in terms so
extreme as TO be pable Of eaufvoeal
Interpretation. The terms of the oati,
were thus made So offensive TO Roman
Catholic sentiment that ii was supposed
10 member of OF sympathizer with that
Church could bring himself to subscribe
10 them even il simula ton.
The need of such extreme phrasInc
al the present time is to he doubted

PARKS IND OTHER PLACES.

IT is more than passing strange that
ii is so difficult 10 maintain the per-
fectIy sound and simple proposition that
Il park is a park and not some other
kind Of place. and that it is worthy OF
continued existence as a park and moth
ing else At various times various well
meaning persons have seemed TO suffer
from an obseSSion to the effect that Cen
trail Park was not park at all. but was
q potential worlds fair ground or a
racetrack. or : military parade ground,
or a site for buildings Of divers sorts; or
else that it vas not worth keeping a s d
park. but should be abolished and given
over TO some of these other uses. We
had hoped that the present generation
had outgrowif that particular form of
civic paranoia. but If seems that we were
too optimistic. The old complaint crops
out again in new. subtle and particu-
Jarly dangerous form.
We would not for q moment deny the
value and the desirability of the various
institutions which it is now purposed to
put into Central Park Fairgrounds of
various kinds are essential To the vel
fare of children. 4 swimming pool is
enjoyable. 4 cinder running track is a
good thing. A baseball diamond is a
thing of beauty and JOY for the sea-
son 10 devotees of the national game. 4
football gridiron is at times scene IF
much attraction and exhilaration. All
these and other appurtenances to health
full sport and rational enjoyment are
good things. and we are not prepared TO
dispute the proposition that it would
he profitable policy for the municipality
10 provide them for the free use of the
public: though we doubt not that there
are those who would argue the superior
need of some other things
But the pith Of the whole subject is
that Central Park is not the place for
these things. Central Park is needed for
the people of New York as q park and
nothing else. and as such it should be
preserved.
