Stockings, Too, Should Be Kept Thus

From the Boston Globe.
A very good idea when travelling, OF
staying al home, is to have small bags
Of different colors or patterns in which
TO place the evening shoes and stockings
which accompany each dress. the bag,
OF course, being placed in the same box,
bureau drawer, tray or compartment as
the dress IN question.
When the dress is hung in the ward
robe the misunderstanding bag should
be laid with the bodice. for there are
few things more trying than 10 start
dressing with but little time. perhaps
and 10 have to hunt wildly first for the
shoes to match the dress one has chosen
and then for the stockings.
These and many other irritations espe-
cially consequent on travelling can be
avoided or largely mitigated by using
a little common sense beforehand in
ones preparations, and not attacking
ones packing solely with the idea that
all that is necessary is 10 get a certain
number of things somehow into a GER
tain space.
