are needed in going from one portion
of the car to another in the evening or

There should always be comforta-
Bile pair of low shoes for wear while
on the train, and pair Of bedroom
slippers. A rubbcr-lined case Is the
best receptacle for the usual toilet
articles. The case can have pockets,
and every article should be kept In
its proper pocket. Always provide
plenty of hair and safety pins. There
should also be spool of thread and
plenty of needles, for all sorts of ex-
periences may be met with. A good
toilet cream is essential to remove the
dust of travel and to soften the skin
from the alkali dust of the Western
plains. Never put train water on the
face. Use rose water.

with certain little medicinal articles

Meals on trains are necessarily ex-
pensive, and some travellers prefer to
pack their own baskets of edibles
Even a box of crackers will come in
handy between meals. The lunch ham

stations where there are stops for
meals. 1t Is quite easy to pack a
basket with crackers. timed meats
and fruits for lengthy journey. so
