BEFORE BUYING YOUR TRUNK
Some Things Which Require Careful
Consideration Before Selecting
Your Travelling Box.

First, decide what is to be packed in
it, and whether it is to be used for
journeys over land, or for sailing over
the sea. If trunk is used for what ii
is intended, clothes alone, and they
are packed with intelligence, they will
arrive at their destination unwrinkled
1t is the simplest necessity to put
rolls of tissue paper under skirt
which may have to be folded over, to
puff the sleeves of a gown with tissue
and to stuff little paper into the
waists of dresses. An important pre-
caution in the art of packing is to put
the heaviest clothes at the bottom.
Tissue paper should also be folded be-
tween dark and light clothes if fresh
ness is to be expected. Very perish
able evening dresses, especially span
gled or beaded ones, should be packed
in thin bags. The most desirable
trunks are made in wardrobe style, ex~
amples of modern wizardry with their
various compartments constructed to
hold every article of wearing apparel
and keep in perfect condition to the
end of the journey.

CHAPTER X.
An Interval.

It was on the second day after his
arrival in New York that Stanton
called upon Jessica Floyd. This time
he went more confidently up the stairs
of the quiet apartment house. sure of
his right.
AS before, the little old Irishwoman
clad in black silk was waiting to ad-
NIT him; as before, he could have

girl who turned Floyd's candid face

"As you like" she conceded, her
heavy lashes sweeping her cheeks.
The first step was made. For the
next two weeks they saw each other
frequently. Twice Stanton brought
one of the Mercury cars and took Jes-
sica for sedate afternoon drives. Sew
eral rainy days she gave him sweet
chocolate and sat opposite him before
the bright little hearth. listening or
talking with the equable sunniness so
like Floyd's. Indeed, Stanton soon
came to feel with her the sense Of
companionship and certainty of being
understood that he felt with her broth
er But he never was rough to Jes-
sica.
During that interval he did not
meet Floyd Jes was busy thirty miles
up the Hudson valley. at the Mercury
factory, Jessica said, and as Stanton
of course knew from his mechanician's
own statement. Only it impressed him
as rather strange that Floyd could not
get away even once or twice to see
his sister.

"Jessica has the right to chance,

with things beyond my understandin'
An I'd rather have her your wife than
have anything else in the world. Only

"Oh, she is like me-" confirmed
Floyd; he turned to look again at the
factory. 1--WE are pretty close chums.
Yes, you an had better be gettin' to

They walked back to the nearest
trolley line, both silent.
The subject was not touched again,
until the following morning. when they
left the train in New York

going to be rather deserted; if you
happen to look her up, no doubt she
would be glad to speak to some one
besides her nurse"
Thank you." accepted Stanton, as
carelessly. Take care of yourself"
He had not reached the exit when
Floyd overlook him.
Here are the entries for the Cup
race" he painted, thrusting a folded
newspaper into Stanton's hand. There
are two Atalanta cars to run against

But his mechanician evaded the
question.
Some people are hoodoos." he
laughed. Keep away from them,
please. Good-by."
He had not spoken Valerie Carlisle's
name. yet Stanton knew against whom
he warned. And the melodramatic
absurdity of the idea did not prevent
an odd thrill of discomfort and inse-
curity, from which he took his usual
refuge in roughness.
I'm not in the habit of hiding from
people. hoodoos or not. Good-by."
"Oh, very well" acquiesced Floyd
oddly. "But If you won't take care of

Baskets of Flowers as Bridge Favors.

At bridge whist party recently, the
hostess did not approve of prizes.
When the playing was over, her
daughter entered the room bearing the
most charming little baskets of flow

forget-me-nots, wall flowers and feath-
cry sprays of fern. A basket was Civ

Il gaze within your eyes and dream
OF glories there are yet to gain;
In fancy can see the gleam
OF sunlit palaces in Spain;
Their splendid towers cleave the air,
And you are gentle mistress there.
within your soulful eyes I gaze
And dream of gallant armored knights:
I live in other, glorious days,
My fancy scars to splendid heights;
see you f1aunt my colors there
Where knights are brave and ladies fair.
II look within your deep, dark eyes,
And fancy carries me afar,
Where proudly floating standards rise,
And undefeated legions are;
With you to sweetly bid me dare,
Ii dream that I am leader there"
The lady heaved a sigh or two,
And said: "How splendid 1t would seem,
And how 'twould pay us both If you
Could act as well as you can dream!'

TWO CLEVER FRENCH TRICKS
How Partisan Woman Makes Her
Homemade Gown Look Like

Here are one or two clever little
tricks by means of which a French
woman accomplishes the chic" of the
famous artist and makes her home
made gown look like the work of the
world-famous house instead of her own
nimble fingers. In looking at a Pa
quin, Doucet or Poiret model, a French
woman does not try to copy the en-
tire gown. In fact, she steers clear OF
intricate draperies and folds. She no.

whether high or low, V-neck or square; !;
whether the waist blouses at the

the fullness is gathered in the center
Of the front or back, or whether 1t is
pushed to the sides, leaving the CEN
ter plain. Then she remembers If the
skirt be gathered or gored into the
belt, If it appears narrower at the foot
than the knees, and if this effect be
accomplished By inverted plaits held
in at the foot by buttons or stitches,
these details are easily observed if
one has them in mind, and they are
the important items that make or mar
the style of gown.

will just study the kinds of beads that
are used on these gowns and buy that
kind. String the beads on double
thread and sew them onto the gown by
taking a stitch between each two
beads with another thread Do not
try to string and sew the beads with
the same needle and thread, or the
work will look very amateurish.

a design on chiffon and outline it in
