Festivities for the Traveller
lleen Hills, in Leslie's.

IAdtAlCCA LAAilog III 1|OSAtS D.
 Once we sympathized with the poor unfortunate" whom circumstances com pelled to travel on Christmas or Thanksgiving Now we envy him. No longer does he sit down to lonely and cheerless meal while visions of an evergreen decorated home with steam ing turkey and plum pudding on tho table dance before his eyes. Just as elaborate, if not as loving. preparations have been made for him, for the ''soul- Hess corporation of other days now does more than give it's customers mere transportation. Besides his comfort and safety, his pleasure is considered as part of the return for the price of his ticket.
 On every steamer the holiday traveller finds reminders of the season in decora- tions, menu, and entertainment. While all the railroads have not established the custom, many have already inau- gurated the Thanksgiving menu and the Christmas dinner, but it remained for the progressive superintendent Of the dining car department of the North ern Pacific to introduce a still more novel arrangement for the pleasure of his guests" on holiday, and Hal loween was jolly day on the Northern Pacific. The dining cars were decorated in gaily colored flowers and streamers, and the lampshades were the appra- priate pumpkin; the menu contained delectable things to eat long asso- ciated with the observance of All Hal lows Day. such as apples. baked squash, pumpkin pie like mother used to make, and of course, the great big baked potato.
 Even the hotels are falling in line
 and catering to the pleasure of their
 guests. I know one hotel in the south
 where Christmas carols are sung on
 the Day of the Nativity and where the Christmas feast Is celebrated in the lgood old fashioned English way with Yule log and boar's head to mark the occasion. In popular New York hotel last Easter many of the guests received a potted plant. Lilies and azaleas lent the Easter spirit to many
 a room in that big hotel and gave the
 spersonal attention touch to service , that is so much appreciated by the
 lonely guest.
 ! This spirit of consideration for their
 patrons at holiday seasons has really
 created demand for Christmas trips.
 In response to this appeal from the
 public very desirable and Inexpensive railroad or steamship tours are now available to those who ind it more convenient to take their vasations at Ithis season.. Teachers and many profes- sional pzople find their Christmas va cations can be put to good purpose in the way of acquiring knowledge on a trip to Bermuda, Cuba, or to any of the numerous Atlantic coast cities to which the leading lines make trips of
 from two to five days duration. On the west coast. voyages along the Pacific to warm and sunny southern Califor- mia, or even to Hawaii, are growing more popular each holiday season.

How Women Fish.

1t doesn't serve to mellow a mans
disposition TO take woman or two
into the boat when he goes bass fish
ing For women always want to fish,
yet never could they or would they
stick those horrid, nasty, wriggling
angleworms on the hook. SO, between
batting their hooks and removing the
perch and pumpkin seeds and strain
ing your spine to keep the boat from
turning turtle and the lines from get
ting snarled up, you have a most en-
jOyable outing, do you not? Yes, you
do not I'll run the risk of answer
ing that question for you. "Zim' writes
in Cartoons Magazine. And then, when
you finally hook a five-pound bass
weighing at least three pounds and
eight ounces by his own standard
scales, and play him for twenty min
utes against their earnest entreaties
not to bring that big, ugly thing into
the boat or else they'd jump out -
you calmly ease up on the line and
give him slack, also his freedom, do
you not? Yes, you do not And when
the day is spent, they tell you what
q gorgeous time they have had and
make you promise to fetch them again,

not? You do like-heaven,

skyline" LOGGING LATEST
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Then the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington Skyline" method of log
cling is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan Is to
run cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at a great height on giant
trees, SO as to form a sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
tons to the rollway. where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log 70 be picked up
It is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means Of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, of
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.

Sweater" Bags for Many Uses.

1t is lined with light blue sateen-
blue being its dominant color note. A
casing is machine sewed in along the
top leaving a narrow standing ruffle,
and small brass rod is run in the
casing on both sides Of the bag. Mar.
row old gold braid Is sewed along
the rod at the foot of the ruffle, han
dies are made by covering small rope
with old gold satin and sewing the old
gold braid over them. The bag is
caught up at each side Of the bottom
with small gold tassels.
But the prettiest touch Of all lies In
the satin-covered little apples in rose,
old gold and sapphire blue posed at
each side of the top on leaves made of
old gold braid. Gold cord and BIZ of
frayed-out gold braid for the eye, fur
ther enrich these decorative touches.
The bag is 1914 inches wide when
finished and about Ia inches deep. II
Is beautiful when developed In black
satin and may be made little
smaller.

"Sister Sue is sewing shirts for sol
diers," for, If she isn't sewing shirts
or pajamas, or sheets and pillowcases,
or something else, she is out Of the
running in society. She may be knit
ting sox or eye bandages or scarfs or
sweaters, instead Of sewing, but she
must be doing something-her patriot
ism must have an outward and visible
sign of some sort or she will find her
self lonesome-all her sister women
are making themselves useful.
Sister Sue sallies forth with bag
of some kind, in which she carries her
knitting and sewing, and many other
things. The bag, originally designed
for a sweater bag, has been pressed
into service for many other purposes.
and, now that movement Is afoot for
carrying home ones small parcels, ac-
cumulated on the shopping tour, the
sweater bag Is the almost constant
companion Of the up-to-date women Of
today. II is pretty to start with,
rather easy to make, Of more or less
rich and always wholly attractive ma
terial; 1t is a thing of beauty and Joy
for the duration of the war at least.
The sweater bag may be made Of
cretonne, satin, silk, sateen. wide rib
bons, Japanese silks, or any material
which is decorative. A very pretty
bag is pictured here, made Of ere

floral pattern In green, dull purple,
