preferable. Carry with you a bag in
which you have all toilet articles needed,
and your gown, kimono, fresh handker-
chiefs and such things. Undress in the
toilet room, fold your garments as you
remove them, and place all except your
dress in the bag. Your wraps and hat
you will have left in the receptacle pro-
vided for them in the berth. Put on your
gown and kmono; then go to your berth,
which the porter has made ready for you.
Fold your dress carefully and put it
with your coat. When you arise in the
morning, take your belongings into the
toilet room and dress. Watch your fell
low travellers, and do as they do. You will
have no trouble, I'm sure.

mistrust usually begets mistrust.

. Dear Miss Grey: My daughter is Is, has
dark complexion, black hair and brown
eyes. What is her becoming color? She
has outgrown her last falls coat and /
will have to buy a new one for spring.
Is she too young for coat suit? If so,
what will I get? How will 1 take ker-
osene spot out of my brown wool skirt?
GERTRUDE.
A-Dark red or the new shades of
blue, would be becoming to your daugh-
ter Do not buy her a coat suit or an
other coat, since she is growing so rapid
ly. Capes are in style, and are very
pretty on girls of her age. Buy good
pattern and make itfyourself, as they are
easily made. Broadcloth is the best ma
terial. 1t should reach her shoe-tops,
which length her dresses should be if she
is large. A pretty little one-piece dress
of challis or cashmere in the same shade
as the cape would be very pretty to wear
with it, and would do away with the
need of a coat suit.
Wash the kerosene spot with suds made
with good white soap, warm water and
ammonia; then rinse with clean, warm
water and press dry.
