/ F you have the old-fashione,
! type Of trunk, the more neet
of your packing it carefully
A day before setting to worl
you had better take your dresses ant
suits out OF closets and look then
over for repairs This will save 20,
just so much time and labor when yo,
start off on your holiday.
Give each dress a careful brushing
and assert them. BY doing this yor
will weed out those you do not actual
ly need. which means that either they
will go back into a packing trunk OF
into your closets.
Be sure to put the heavy things al
the bottom. If it is possible. put forms
in all your shoes. and should you no,
have enough keep those you have for
your low shoe, and handsome evening
slippers.
You can either buy or make shoe
backs OF cretonne or colored linen.
The prettiest are trimmed with q bit
Of hand embroidery. A simple substi-
tute for bags is silk tissue paper. BE
sure to wrap your bottles In some old
chemise or anything soft. Likewise
put your raincoat. books and umbrei-
las at the bottom.
The heavy coats and skirts come
next. Fold your skirts where they Will
not show the crease, providing your
trunk is not full skirt length. This
is readily done by folding back the
part above the hip line. You will
surely crease your skirts by folding
them down the center. 1t goes with
out saying that the heavy skirts
should rest at the bottom ana tne
light. soft ones on top or IN one OF
your trays.
The waists to your dresses and the
blouses are to be put into a separate
tray or trays. II you want good waists
to keep their shape, fill the neck and
sleeves with tissue paper; you need
not pack it tight. These waists will
stay clean and be kept from getting
mussed by covering them with small
sheet Of linen or cretonne. A few
sheets of silk paper make fairly
good substitute. Keep the small side
trays for hats, scarfs, gloves and
handke-chiefs. You will do well to
Law YOUR gloves and delicate scarfs in
bags or IL handkerchief and glove
cases.
Whether you pack your hats into
the old-fashioned trunk or have spe-
cial trunk for them give as much care
to them as you do to your dresses. A
good arrangement Is to lay the large
hats below and the small and flimsy /
ones on top. The only way to keep
the hats firm is by pinning them to

IDEAL HOMES
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

! W HEN you built your new hous,
with all the up-to-date i'm
- provements and fitted 1t will
fine furniture and costly rug!
and such. you fancied you had bull
home-but you hadn't. When a. I
bride you fused over your troussear
and sat up late embroidering doilies
towels and napkins. when you picked
out your dishes and received your
wedding present silver, you thought
these things made home. They didn't
they never do. II they did. then what
II the hne house burned down and the
lovely bride things were stolen? Where
would be the home?
Even in q mansion amid splendid
ntttngs that make her the envy Of 9TH
ers. with a husband to be proud of, 4
woman will never flnd home unless
she has first the sense of home in her
own sowl. And II she has any vision
she will see that home never consists
alone OF things.
On the other hand. womarys abode
may be one bare room with only ia
BILE and chairs, yet with these few
poor things she may really make
home. And even II these fade from
her she may still have home, because
she has realized the true meaning Of
home and established hers according
ly, and best Of all because she and an
other have found home in each other.
No matter how earthly things fall
away from these two. no matter II they
are left penniless. II the home each
has built within himself and has found
in the other is still unviolated. he and
she together, without O single ma
terial possession. will still have .
home. 1t is In this better sense, not
merely In the usual meaning. that tho
world looks to woman as home maker
and home keeper.
So when q woman creates q home
for the man she loves she must first
have established the meaning Of the
word In her own mind, her own soul.
In the invisible structure she thus
builds the woman welcomes her mate.
she gives him kindly judgment and
knows his faults are not himself. With
her the man Is at ease and can be his
best self. In her presence and in all
his thoughts Of her. he is 'at home"
Around this higher idea of home,
which is the spiritual idea, Is sure to
grow the material manifestation OF
house and human comfort. But alas
for her and for him who look to the
external alone. They never look above
things which fade. die and burn up.
which make unhappiness, qGarrels and
bitterness. Material things are not tho
reality. Material things alone do not
make home.
When a man and woman find this
and happiness in each
other. find rest and peace in one an
others presence, there alone is true
union and true love. Unless the ma
terial dwelling stands on such a foun-
dation 1t will be merely a house. q

Still. II you want to travel In real
| comfort, enjoy The wardrobe trunk OF
| the most improved kind. 1t will save
you a great deal Of time and worry
when 1t comes to the packing and un-
packing. because you are always pack
ed. You will not worry about closet

the rooms are none too large and the
closet room is less. This type of trunk
is SO good looking it is almost as much
an ornament as II is matter Of COM
fort and convenience.
If you decide to travel with . ward
robe trunk, do not have 1t too large;
they are hard to handle and are ex-
tremely clumsey when placed In a
small bedroom. A steamer innovation
should be large enough IL you are
alone; you will need it little larger
II you want 1t to contain the chill
dren's belongings as well as your own.
The body part Of this trunk Is fitted
I'D with hangers and folders SO that
the gowns are hung and laid In the
most convenient way. The blouse and
skirt Of the same costume are hung
close together. There is q nickel rack
for the one-piece dresses and they can
stay there weeks at time without be-
ing mussed. In this sort of trunk you
can pack your gowns very closely
without any fear OF their getting
crushed.
The best equipped of these have a
compartment below in which you can
pack three or four pairs Of shoes and
slippers. Then there are two large
drawers. one for handsome waists and
the other for your best underwear.
There is large deep drawer with an
adjustable cushion for hats and
smaller ones for jewelry and other
finery. 1t is hard to think OF any chif-
fonier or set OF drawers as convenient
as your wardrobe trunk. Besides. you
have no dread Of suffering from an aw-
full backache every time you do your
packing and your unpacking.

+ a child's finger and toe nails
are properly cared for from
- infancy the fingers will be a
pretty shape and the danger
of 1ngrowing toe nails and other all
ments Of the feet will be lessened. The
finger nails should always be filed and
not cut. Filing the nails will keep
them thin and delicate. The nails
should be trimmed in an oval shape
and if the fingers are inclined to be
blunt this will often make them taper
more. 1t Is not wise to make the child
nervous and cross by manicuring the
nails for half an hour. for all that is
necessary is to keep the nails clean
and filed and the skin around the nall
loose and pushed back. The toe nails
may be cut, although the best method
is to file them with nail file or an
emery stick. They should be cut
straight across and not curved to the
shape Of the toe.
