away with the necessity OF carrying
the box right side up, supposing, of
course, that there are no glasses or
cups holding Hquids-and it is better
to eliminate them where possible The
skin can be removed from oranges
and the sections separated without

once said that ''to travel hope

but many people do not agree
with him. In most cases, perhaps, the
journey Is looked upon as the means
to an end, a sort Of tiresome perform
ance which must be gone through
with in order to reach the final goal.
One Of the most serious considerations
OF 8 journey is the packing. Most
women prefer to do their own pack
ing. even where they have maids to
do the work, in order that special
care can be taken of the particular
valuabIes.
The hrat thing to do when taking
up the packing Is to elevate the trunk.
This may be done by placing It on
two old chairs or stools; 1t saves back
aches and facilitates the work. An
investment should be made in q guam
tity Of tissue. paper, for .this Is an i'm
portant factor in keeping gowns fresh
looking and unwrinkled. Then have
ready q supply OF large pins, tapes and
either bags or squares OF materials
81 which to wrap shoes, rubbers and
other articles that might soil the
clothing.
Place in the bottom Of the trunk
things that viii not be injured If
unused. Here may be placed the I'M
derwear, shoes, stockings and Ike ar
ticleE. Never forget to I'LL the shoes

on top OF the underwear. which is laid
as fat as possible. place the heavier
tailor-made suit. and above. that the
long coat that Is worn over the light
gowns IN the evening or for automo-
billing.
Then fold the dress skirts length
wise twice, or into the oreases they
would fall If worn. Learning to fold
Is an important part Of packing and
II must be done as fat as possible. A
skirt should never have a front fold.
To avoid this stretch the skirt out
straight on the bed or floor and make
a kind CT box plat Of the front. Then
hold the back seam tight from waist
20 hem, and settle the remaining
widths In plastic lines, placing layers
OF tissue paper between the folds. In
packing waists lay the sleeves fiat and
in order that they may not be crushed
stuff them well with tissue paper.
Stun the paper into the yoke and col
lar part and also into any outstanding
bit Of trimming. Even the little bows
should have tissue paper stuffed into
them.
A waist thus stuffed will never be
absolutely hattened no matter how
great a weight It sustains throughout
a journey. It Il also q wise procau-
ton 70 pin the folds OF q gown to-
gether. so that the paper may not slip.
Many travellers have adopted the plan
OF keeping cheesecioth bags to cover
their gowns when travelling, that the
dust that may sift into the trunk may
not get on them
When there Is a special desire to
protect certain gowns, such as hinsy
chiffon evening wraps. cover them en-
tirely with tissue paper after having
stuffed them and folded them well.
Then lay them on the top tray OF the
trunk. Many trunks have only one
tray, so tapes should be fastened to
