RULES THAT GOVERN THE
SUMMER GIRLS TRAVELS

Most of US find something very fasci-
rating about the mere mention of travel.
even those of us who have made many
journeys out into the big world. So per-
haps the Pensacola girl. who thinks she
really must go away this summer, and
Is looking toward the mountains or the
big city. has something TO be said in
her favor.
To the girl who travels alone for the
first time. the trip smacks of real acven-
ture. and perhaps never again will she
feel quite as important as wnen she packe
her trunk. and is off to Asheville, or
Washington, or Chicago, or Philadelphia
alone.
The woman who lives In her trunk
knows from experience that there IL
nothing like taking time by the forelock.
for putting oneself in the proper frame OF
mind to get the best out of ones trip.
1t is just as easy to get packed and off
to the station in time. as to be late,
and 1T is vastly more comfortable.
Travelling has been worked out with so
much care in every department OF trans
portat ton that it is not at all formidable
undertaking any more. If you are leav-
ing in the morning, your trunk should be
packed the previous night, and you should
notify the company which is to handle
your baggage at least several hours be-
fore train time. in order that there may
be no delay. And be sure you are ready
when the man calls.
With some transfer companies 1t is pos
sible to check ones baggage right from
the house. This is 50 IN All large cities.
A great many people will wait until the
very last minute and then go off all worn
out and flustered. When just a little

vented
Whether the journey is short or long.
many persons prefer to take trunk
when travelling. unless, of course, their
stay Is too short to warrant more than
an overnight bag, because it costs no
more except for the transfer charges, and
1t is certainly pleasanter when visiting
friends or stopping at a hotel, to have
enough clothes to be fresh and comfort

Where one Is going on long journey.
it will be found to be great aid. in
articles, such as underwear, towels and
small pieces, as these may be tucked INTO
corners, thereby saving much room.
Packing should be done very carefully,
and everything should be very compact,
for it Is the knocking about in the trunk
that injuries many articles which would
otherwise be uncrumpled at the end of
the journey.
1t is quite the accepted rule when
travelling to wear smart clothes, but 1t
is not permissible to dress in loud or
conspicuous manner. Many women wear
white blouses while travelling in the
summer. because they are cool, and
easily Numbered afterward. Thin, dark
blouses should be worn over an under
lining.
If white, they should be heavy enough
rot to show the lingerie conspicuously
Wear your best looking tailored suit
and your prcttiest blouse. If you like but
do not wear gown that would look well
at a garden party or waist that is too
sheer or too "fussy." You will also find
that the picture hat for travelling is not
considered correct.

For several summers, now, people have

don't we?
There are a great many people who
have always made their homes IN Pensa-

great many people who would pay out all
kinds Of money for dip in the Atlantic,
who have never had dip in the Gulf

there are no bathing beaches any better,
and hardly any to compare, to those of
Pensacola, whether on the bay shore or
the gulf beach.
80, IL you are a Pensacola Summer Girl,
Do not envy other Summer Girls. For
you are blessed beyond others, and should
thank your luck stars.
You win not find any place in the

the pleasures OF the big outdoors. Be

BECAUSE OF you.

Sometimes my heart grows weary.
when my days
Are full of trouble and my nights
of gloom,
And then L think Of you, and as the
rays
OF light which steal into darkened
room
Transmute to gold the myriad notes
of air,
Pure light streams in and blinds my
heart to care.
Sometimes my heart grows bitter.
When my dreams
Seem hopeless visions only born 70
fade;
And then think of you, and as sweet
themes
Make music of what else were dis
cords played,
With sudden JOY I catch hfe's song
complete
And love the harshnes which accents
the sweet.
Dear. teeming memories! A look. a
touch,
A sweet. unselfish act, cheerful
smile,
A thousand little things which mean
so much
They make the whole pain darkened
world worth while,
Bring dawn again, and hopes wing
forth anew
Singing glad morning songs, bedause
OF you.
