BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Whether you travel by air, train
or motor. you should give some con-
centrated thought to the cosmetics
YOU need and the clothes you will
wear. Many trip has been ruined
by too cumbersome baggage and by
not having the right clothes for
where you are going and refreshing
beauty aids. And don't make the
mistake of thinking you can buy
this or that on route. You viii!
not find it when you need it, and
the wise lady always shops in
familiar stores Plan carefully be-
fore you pack and your trip will be
ever so much more delightful.
Your beauty will be cared for, too.
With a little planning it is a
simple matter to keep fresh look
ing when you are taking a trip.
I'm pretty tired of seeing messy
looking people on trains and ar
irving at hotels. Any girl makes
a sad mistake if she thinks for a
minute that there is no use in
looking her best on train or boat
full of strangers She misses out
all way round and only succeeds
in having those she meets misjudge
her entirely.
Today, at small cost. there are
efhcacious beauty aids which seem
to be designed solely for the trav-
eler Take for instance the cleans
ing pads which come neatly packed
in small jars. How nice to be able
to take out one or two and refresh
a skin which shows the strain of
travel? Reliable deodorants come
in this form also and nothing is
more welcome if you must spend
days on a train where it is impos-
sible to shower.
If you have room in your bags
for very adequate grooming aids,
by all means select various kits
which are most intelligently packed
with what you need. Buy mani
curing set in a leather upper case,
an eye kit and a complexion aid
combination.
A pigskin box lined with oilskin
is great aid for carrying an over
flow such as an antiseptic (Which
every person should carry, depila-
tory, or razor if you use one and
soap. Toothbrushes and powder
may also be tucked in and other
odds and ends such as hair curriers',
hair pins, safety pins, perfume.
Then if a bottle should break your
nicely planned wardrobe will not
be ruined as the oilskin will pro-
tect it.
Scads of face tissues are needed
for everything. If you have trav-
eled much you know just how use
full these tissues can be! They serve
from cleaning your skin to cleaning
your shoes, or as handkerchiefs or
eyeglass polishers. Many women
make cloth envelopes which will
hold several boxes of the tissues.
If you are travelling for a day
or taking just short trip, your
large handbag will hold all you
need for keeping fresh. Either buy
or make yourself a silk envelope,
lined. In it put few cleansing
pads wrapped in oiled paper, a small
tube of protective cream, a small
bottle of cologne, your makeup. a
comb and orange stick. Very fas-
tidious beauties carry a folding
toothbrush and dime tube of paste.
With these aids in your bag it
is a simple matter to retire to the
nearest powder room and give your
self a refreshing going over when
ever you feel the need for 1t.
The main thing is to look cool
as a lettuce leaf and crisp as new
organdy. Many lifelong friend
ship has begun on a trip and any,
way one always is more in tune
with the world If she Is nicely
