and their use has now become much more
general than that of the heavily scented
sachets that have done service during the
winter. Shrtwaist cases are made of some
wash material of heavy texture. and are
fashioned in much the same shape as a
large nightgown case. Around the edges
they are bound with colored linen braid,
and the initials OF the owner may be en-
broidered on the outside with wash cotton
When shirtwaists are folded carefully and
slipped into such cases they retain their
freshness much better than If packed pro-
miscuously with other things.

that view of IT."
An old farmer living In a section that has
recently been bought up by wealthy people
complained quite bitterly TO one OF the"s
new neighbors on the changes that had
come to his part of the world, and the bur
den of his plaint was the motors. He
didn't allow they killed his chickens or
dogs. and he wasn't afesrd for himself.
even If he was growing deaf" neither dio
he complain OF the dust or the gasoiene
smells. His grievance against the motors
was their untriendliness. why in the old
times he said every one that owned them
places would say, Hop IN and have a lift.' :
If / was going their way, and now them
burned chauffeurs just go 'honk-honk and
pass me by, them riding alone, too. as IL I
wasn't good enough to ride with them. 80
/ jest made up my mind that them ma
chimes is selfish all the way through from

around here that knows anything thinks
so too" The old farmer is right, by more
than half for in the country since time
had wings the man the road, as well as
the woman or child. has ever had the
courtesy Of "a lift as far as 1 am going. y
and the comfort of conveyance was thus
shared between rich and poor. The motor
owner would no more think of stopping
and taking in a stranger under similar
conditions than he would think Of delib-
erately running over him An automobile
promotes friendly intercourse between points
far distant. but never is it a convenience
for those it passes on the highway. so with
the departure of old Dobbin" from the
highway the friendlness of the road goes
too and the country lanes take on the
conventionality of the city avenues.

GOING A-VISITING
Wrinkles to Keep Clothes Uns-

When went home from boarding
school for the holidays for the first time,
said q woman who is married now and
has daughters of her own, Il made my

sure TO think-if she doesn't know one well
Dear me! I'm afraid my guests room

There's a science in packing. Some
women make a profession of 1t. packing
other peoples trunks for pay. But 1t Is a
science any one may learn with a little
effort. and In these days, when every one
Is making weekend visits and rounds OF
visits. and 1t is so often impossible to take
a maid along, it is a necessary science 10

as so many people live some distance from
railway stations and transport their guests
by motor.
II saves trouble to have trunk marked
tn some individual way. so that the owner
can pick it out quickly from truckful OF
baggage on the station platform A large
white star painted on the end Of the trunk
will do. OF some interlocked circles, or
bands of contrasting colors.
Into the weekend trunk must go. for the
conventional visit, an extra hat, three
evening gowns, one high necked afternoon
gown for special occasions, tive morning
gowns. plenty of lingerie, shirtWalsts,
shoes and slippers. and gloves, wells ana
other trifies. The heavy wrap. which 1t is
prudent to take can always be carried over
the arm.
Summer wardrobes. being light in weight,
can be packed In the trunk with astonish-
INK ease. Too close packing. however,
should be avoided. for it Will crush out the
new. fresh appearance which is the chief
charm of summer gowns. 1t is better to go
on 4 visit with few clothes. all crisp and
attractive looking than to have greater
number showing creases and the wear and
tear of travel. Everything. moreover, that
is put into the trunk to take away should
be In perfect order. Each button and tape
should be in its place; wells should be
fresh; gloves should be spotlessly clean.
Women who make many visits have also
learned to have even their smartest gowns
arranged SO that they can be put on and
fastened up with comparative ease. At
house parties it is frequently necessary to
change the clothes very quickly, and, as
every guest cannot have the service of the
maid at the same time. il is well to be in

for August s. and 10 off Marblehead, the
beats to be raced in three divisions, and
the final international race will take place
on August II at the same place The Span
tsh boats which will be here this week,
represent the Spanish Federation of Nauti-
cal Clubs, and the Eastern Yacht Club is
sponsor for the American boats.
Miss Sargent will find her work cut out
for her when she enters the elimina ton
races, for she will have to compete with
some experienced and we'll known shippers,
but She knows no fear She has been over
the Marblehead course until she knows it
by heart, and she is confident that the Wolf
will do the best that is in her" In the
1909 sender trials, when the American boats
were picked to race against the German
sorder boats from the kieI Yacht Club her
boat, the Sumatra, although not selected
for the final trial, did excellent work, and
she expects the Wolf to do better.
