Twenty four dollars Why, I had no idea that it would cost so much. Do all the sleeping car agents charge the same prices? It's 8 lot of money for Just two nights on the train. could buy a good hat for that amount, and the hats are so much prettier than they were last year. too.
 But 1 suppose you aren't interested in spring millinery, although l often tell Walter-Walter's my husband that 1 see as many men looking in at millinery shop windows as l do women. Walter has such good taste in hats. always take him with me when l buy my most important ones.
 What day do I intend to go? Why, I beg your pardon. 1 thought 1 told you-next Wednesday. of course. 1 want to be home before Sunday.
 Tt seems silly to take a whole state room, doesn't it? I've half mind not to, but Walter would be awfully vexed if he ever found it out, and, of course, I'd just have to tell him. l always tell my husband everything. He always wants to know all about everything l do Really, Walter is perfectly foolish about me. When I'm away from home l have to send him a night letter every evening so he won't worry about me. He always insists upon my having stateroom.
 ''Still, SPA seems an awfully big price to pay for little privacy. How much is a compartment? There's a cOmpart- ment car isn't there?
 Eighteen dollars? Why, that would save me S6. wouldn't it? That isn't great amount of money, but I'm really remarkably economical, and $6 is quite worth saving l think Why. l saw charming baby Irish jabot for s6. l just believe I'll take the compartment instead of the stateroom and buy that | iabOt. You see, I'm quite a manager. l The compartment is just as comfort able as the stateroom, isn't it? ] Well, even if 1t isn't quite so roomy | I'm sure I'd get along nicely. The fact ! is I think it's perfect nonsense for me 1 not to travel right in the main car 1 with all the other people. If it weren't l for Walters strict orders about the 1 stateroom l believe I'd just take a sec 1 ton. How much is a section? | Thirteen dollars? Let's see. Thir- | teen from twenty -four-oh, yes, $11. It | certainly seems an easy way to earn | $11. When 1 think of all l could do with S11 it seems wicked not to save it. l Why, I've read splendid articles on l housekeeplng for two persons on Sl0 a week Doesn't it seem wonderful that l it can be done on Sl0? I often tell | Waiter that I'd like to try it, but he
 says he'd rather board
 | T suppose it's hardly worth while to | take a whole section. because it doesn' [ very often happen that there's anyone 1 in the upper and if there were some ! body over me I'd just ask the conduc- tor to give me another berth.
 No, Of course, if the car were crowd . ! ed. he coudrt. Isn't it funny that so many people travel9 Whenever I go anywhere I always wonder why so many other people leave home at the same time. There is such a restless spirit pervading the land. 4 woman our club wrote a splendid paper on
 that subject It explained many things { I never understood before It really T accounted for lot of oddities in men and women like billiard playing and
 bargain hunting
 Walter plays billiards. I like to
 have him keep up some of his old
 bachelor pleasures. but. of course. he never plays where l can't go with him
 I love to watch him play. He's so tall
 and he leans over the table so grace
 fully. It's a great advantage to a man
 10 he tall isn't if? Stiu. of course
