Our grandmothers would have scorned
the idea Of travelling with trunks thar
are for all the world like a dresser, but
the modern woman is thankful for the
innovation. Instead of nearly breaking
her back lifting heavy trays. she can
pull the draws OF her trunk out as easily
as she can turn her hand over. Well
oiled rollers facilitate matters. Her
skirts and waists are thus kept free
from wrinkles, and are always accessible.
The climax Of perfection is reached in
the wardrobe trunk. When stood on END

Leather straps are considered a neces-
sity in these days when baggage is in
discriminatory thrown around. Instead
of the ugly cowhide strap used by less
favored mortals, the bride has three
straps attached to her trunk. and they
are burned in a beautiful floral pattern
to match the tapestry cover. These have
elaborate brass buckles in feur-de-li,
patterns to harmonic with the neur-de-
lis design mountings used elsewhere.
There are other considerations OF quite
as much Importance as the trunk and
dress-suit case. For instance. provision
should be made for possible illness. and
medicine cases are really a necessity.
The new ones combine both daintiness
and compactness, and are easily tucked
away in a corner Of the suit case. They
come in ooze leather. pisskin. morocco.
and even kid, daintily lined with moire
or satin in colors.
Toilet cases were never so attractive.
and they bear only little resemblance to
the linen or crash Of other days The
new ones are made of silk ruber, which
means that they are as pretty inside a.
outside. and that Is saying great deal.
To all appearances. they are simply cases
in plaids of colored patterns. A damp
wash cloth, however, will make no i'm
preston on the bright colors. which
would run If they were not Of silk rubber.
Travelling writing desks are made the
same size as suit cases. and they slip In

boxes, blotters. stationery. and even .

The passion of young America for soft.
cold drinks in summer has led many. a
mother to investigate the ingredients OF
the various icy concoctions offered at
drug stores While the component parts
of these drinks are not harmful. she dis
covers that she can make a more health
full and inexpensive drink at home with
, less trouble. Especially does the home
maker in temporary summer residence

Homemade root beer costs 50 per cent
less than the bottle beer. Yeast Is used

Dissolve three pounds of sugar in five
gallons of water and add a small bottle
OF root beer extract. Then add a cake
of yeast dissolved in a cup of luke warm
water, and mix the whole thoroughly
together. Put the preparation in bottles
which are kept exposed to the sun or to
a moderate heat for about six hours:
then place them in a cool place. After
three or four days it is ready for use.

spoonful of extract of vanilla. Thicken

The editor has known cooks to have a
good deal Of trouble with chocolate sauce
made in this way. although an expert
enced cook can always handle 1t. The
trouble is that the sauce apparently
curdles after the sirup and the chocolate
are mixed together. Careful cooking al
ways will bring 1t back again. But an
easier way for the inexperienced cook
to make chocolate sauce is to mix the
chocolate and the sugar together and
melt them in a double boiler: then to add
the boiling water and cook until thick.
Another way Is to use cocoa and granu-
lated sugar and hot water.

C0NvENIENCES FOR
THE TRAVELLER

Time was, not so long ago. that
anything was considered good enough
to wear on a journey. Women seemed
to take positive delight in making
themselves look as much like frights
az possible. Best gowns, hats, gloves,
and shoes were saved for a more pro-
pitious occasion. All this. however,
was in the dark ages. when the linen
duster and plain crush felt hat were
worn, and band boxes. bird cages and
carpet bags accompanied the feminine
traveller.
Thanks to Dame Fashion. this day
has gone forever. The woman who
travels considers it her duty to dress
simply, but in the best style. and TO
keep herself as dainty and neat on
journey as while sojourning in a no.
tel or visiting in the home Of friend.
To this end there are numberless COM
forts and conveniences which simplify
the wear and tear of travel. With all
these modern accessories a woman can
go across the continent and appear
quite as fresh and tidy as when she
started.
