PACKING A TRUNK.
Suggestions For Those Whe IRE Plan
ming Their Vacations.

ming THAR Vacations.
A woman who is constantly travel
ing and yet who finds it most neces-
sary to economic in space as we'll as
In pennies has found the following
excellent one. At the bottom of the
ssnnk she has Il partition made large
enough to carry one large or two small
hats. This is strongly made, SO that
it cannot easily be broken. At the
side of this partition she places q
wooden box filled with sawdust, in
which are her bottles of medicine.
Here, too, she lays her shoes, each
pair carefully rolled in linen covers.
On one set Of shoes she puts her pair
of rubbers, and inside the shoes she
places her boxes of pills or powders
which would not go into the box OF
medicine. Then she has six or eight
pieces of heavy cardboard cut to ex-
actly fit the trunk These she covers
with linen or chintz, so that they look
exactly like large envelopes, with
straps or strings to fasten down the
flaps. In these huge envelopes she pins
her dresses, shirt waists, etc.
Two or three dresses can usually be
put in each envelope. Everything is
kept absolutely fiat, and nothing can
be pushed to one end of the trunk
when it is stood on end. At the top
of the trunk is a shallow tray, in
which she puts her laces, ribbons, wells,
gloves. etc. The underwear is rolled
and placed around the edges of the
trunk or is folded fat and laid between
the envelopes.

would never walk again unless some
thing favorable happened.
Life is full Of sarcasms, and this
seems to be one of them, murmured
I.aidlaw, despite his illness still. fine

propelled down the avenue In an In

He turned to the attendant and said:
wheel me into that sunny corner
and then run over to the library and
fill this list. There; that's something
like it. This wind cuts like KNIFE"
Laidlaw watched the man disappear

WASHABLE LINEN BOWS.

They Are Easily Made and Can Be
L-aundered at Home.
There is nothing quite so dainty and
becoming as Il touch OF white at the
collar of a dress. When the frocks are
of dark linen this adds much to their
attfactiveness.
Not every one can wear large jabots
or frills, but small bow always looks
we'll.
These charming bows are easily
made and what is still better, they
are easily Numbered at home
Small pieces of linen are used for
these bows. measuring 61a by 31a inch
es. The edges should be buttonholed
in small scallops.
Plait through the center and finish
with narrow fold of the linen.
If q pattern is first cut from paper it
is much easier to cut the linen in the
desired shape.
Variety may be gained by making
the pieces of linen square, or the cor
ners may be rounded.
Two pieces of material may be used
for bow, cutting one slightly smaller
than the other, forming double bow.
Any dainty spray of flowers or de-
sign mag be embroidered upon either
end, adding to the beauty of the bow.
This is a clever way to use small
odds and ends Of linen One can never
have too many small bows for warm
weather wear.
Colors may be used to embroider and
buttonhole the edges, matching any
frock you desire to wear the bow with

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why sn outsusst of the One May
 Cause Flsw of ths Other.


 What is laughter and why do tears 90 often accomp,ny itl
 On each side of the throat k m ar. tery called the carotid. At the level of the laryux thls divides. one branch, winch carries blood to the brain. being called the internal, the other. which distributes blood ic tho face. being called the external These two branches are joined about the level of the eyes hy inc ophthalmit artery. which forms canal between them. This commu nlcatiop is the cause of the close con. nection between the brain and the tear glands. between iaughtey and grief. both of which ara generators of tears.
 Phvsiologically. a burst of laughter Is nothing hut strenuous effort. like lifting heavy weight In beth cases the muscles of the throat and stomach contract.
 When laughtef Is excessive the whole body Is convulscd; every muscle Is contracted. In the place Of normal rsspIration come short intermittent respirations, insufficient to free the lungs from the semi-asphyxia pro duced by the contraction of the throat muscles. The fate shows the conges- ton of the blood vessels of the head. Apoplexy may ir rare cases result. These muscular c,ntrnctions compress the external carotid. which can no longer supply tho brain with blood In consequence this rushes up the in- ternal carotid. which becomes choked and dilated. 1t can stand the pressure only because the cphthalmIc artery re. Iieves it. Taking this route the blcod congests the tear glands, which over now.
 Tears are exactly the same as the liquid part of thtr blood. So It IS . fair deduction that the action of cry ing is equivalent to a certain loss Of blood, which relieves the congestion of the brain. Thil Is why women feel so much better after a good cry.
 The facial contortions Of weeping persons are caused by the automatic contraction of such muscles as are needed to compress the tear glands and so help to squeeze out the tears New York World
