Packing the Vacation Trunk

A WOMAN who has Travelled a great
- deal and has found one trunk
sufficient for the needs Of her wardrobe
gives the following hints as to the dis
posal of her belongings:
In the bottom Of the trunk she has
had a partition made large enough to
carry one large or two small hats At
the side Of this. partition she places a
wooden box filled with sawdust in
which she packs her medicine bottles.
Here. too. she lays her shoes. each pair
carefully rolled in linen covers Her
rnbbers are fitted on one pair OF boots,
and In all Of them she slows toilet be-
longings. such as tooth powder bottle.
cold cream jar. etc.
Then she has six or eight pieces Of
heavy cardboard cut TO At the trunk
exactly. They are covered with a
pretty light percale made in envelope
shape. with straps to fasten down Sc
curely In these large envelopes she
pins her dresses and shirt waists. Two
or three frocks or blouses can usually
60 into each envelope. In this way
everything is kept absolutely fiat and
nothing is pushed to one end OF the
trunk when It is turned up on end. A
shallow tray at the top of the trunk
holds laces. ribbons and wells.
