COMFORT FOR TRAVELLERS

But few there are who are not plan

lowing hints may be helpful at plan

Dust is one of the discomforts to he
combated in summer travel. Almost all
railroads are more or less dusty. We
may he thankful when we strike one

And as dust in plentiful. so water is
usually rather scarce, There is never
plentiful supply on even the best of
our trains. so tho woman who would
travel comfortably had bes; be pre-
pared to keep her face and hands
clean
In the travelling bag there should be
room for several bottles. These bot
Ties which need not be OF more than
half pint size. should have screw tops
so that they will not be leaky.
In one of them put a mixture Of aleo-

water will be softcst. Use this to give

THE brides to be, in all classes and
all variations of wealth. are look
ing forward over the intervening weeks
with almost a sigh. 1t leaves so little
time, and there Is always so much to
be done.
The brides trousseau Is perhaps the
most important thing to be finished up
in that time. No matter whether she
belongs to the ranks OF the idle rich or
of the Woodworking poor, she must have
some kind of trousseau.
The business girl. for instance, who
Is leaving the ranks of bachelor maids
to join the list of matrons, has prob
ably Just given up her position in order
to have the last few weeks free to
make all her preparations. She has
saved up perhaps 500 from her salary

The first short fun wedding gowns

more extraordinary to create a sensa
ton now. People have become used to
short wedding gowns and curious veil
arrangements. and. though such things
are even now the exception rather than
the rule, one smiles indulgently upon
them.

gowns this spring depart from con-
