CLOTHES FOR EUROPEAN TRIP

CLOTHES FOR EUROPEAN TRIP.
From Miss E. C. D., Washington
I have loved some of the carping
about wasting space on poetry" It
proves that many of your readers
have passionate possessiveness
about the column. But it seems to
me that the wide range of informa-
ton sought indicates how helpful
the column really has been, and to
many kinds of women. My own
greatest respect for it has come
from the many really sensible an
swers and the fine recipes that
aren't found in the usual cookbooks
For the reader seeking advice on
clothing for a trip to Europe from
May to July, here is list of cloth
ing that worked out very well for me
during q trip that covered similar
regions during a similar season:
Underwear (all knitted, or glove
silk, not needing ironing: -Four
slips, 4 brassieres, 4 pairs of pants,
3 nightgowns, ! heavy silk (or light
WOOL tailored dressing gown, l pair
mules or slippers, 10 pairs stockings.
Clothing: Two wool suits (if one
can be a tweed that doesn't show
soil or spots, 1t will be a godsend)
2 or 5 blouses, 2 sweaters (slipon,
to be worn with suits as blouses), l
topcoat, 2 silk dresses (prints are a
help), / light wool short jacket to
wear over print dresses, or hats
Cat least one of them casual ana
snug enough to be worn lin wlnd
3 pairs shoes Zone dressy, two to take
a lot of walking.
Miscellaneous: one dozen hand
kerchiefs and whatever costume
iewelry, dickies, scarves and other
accessories are necessary to COM
plete costumes. Also the usual cos
metics, but in small sizes. Tooth
paste, hair shampoo, enough toilet
soap for the whole journey; and by
all means a package OF soap fakes.
Your own sponges or wash cloth
and one small towel. since you may
reach occasional stops which are
still short of linen. And If you're
even moderately fussy about coffee,
one jar of instant coffee. Also shoe
trees for the three pairs of shoes
listed above. Footgear takes a ter
rife beating.
The above list represents the most
efficient minimum, I believe, and
can be packed into one OF the
Lar gest size suitcases, supplemented
with hatbox or overnight case.
This large suitcase-hatbox combina-
ton Is also, incidentally, more
efficient than foot locker or small
trunk.
What people tell you about oc-
casionally having to wrestle with
your own luggage in Europe Is all
too true. What they don't often
mention Is that you may be UP
against the same problem here al
home. And on a tour, it's a COM
fort not to be forever making ar
rangements about a trunk.
To get back to clothes: For May
ESPECIALLY the ocean crossing, you
may need fairly heavy topcoat
But by the time you reach Italy
and July-it may be a burden. My
own solution of this problem was tt
take medium weight topcoat, which
I wore over q suit on cold days
and sometimes, on very cold days
With sweater In place Of q blouse

NYLON SUGGESTION.


(Fron, Mrs. L. B. M, Washington }
Soiled stockings and undies made
of nylon should not be accumulated
for weekly washing. They should
be washed in suds of gentle soap
fakes Cor other safe cleaning
agents. rinsed, squeezed (not wrung)
as dry as possible, then rolled up
in a heavy towel to remove excess
moisture before hanging up. If the
shower rod in the bathroom Is not
available as a place to hang them
up, I spread them loosely fiat on
the bed (they are dry enough to
put on a colored spread without any
damage) for the mere Is to 20
minutes it takes for them to dry
thoroughly, after which they are
ready to wear or put away.
I am still wearing several pairs OF
nylon and sheer silk stockings !
bought before the war; all of them
have been redyed to brighten them
up, and I am gradually dyeing then'
all in the newer dark shades. Not
only have had the good fortune OF
no losses in stockings except by ac-
cidental contact snagging very in
frequently, these stockings are only
just now beginning to wear through
in a few places in the feet. The
greatest proof I'know Of that careful
handling is good stocking insurance
is the fact that I wore all of the
stockings during a period of about
five years when I regularly walked
an average of miles to and from
work, was on my feet a lot during
the day, both at work and at home,
and know from my own experience
that If one takes care of nice things
they pay for themselves many times
in the service one gets out OF them.
POEM FURNISHED.

For Mrs. B. M. p, here are a few
suggestions for your trip that might
help. We came across country two
years ago Tin winter with our two
oldest sons, then 9 months and 23
months old.
Build the back seat up even all the

Then cover with a large old blan-

STATE FISH AND GAME OFFICIALS
TO ATTEND ROD AND GUN PICNIC

According to George c. Earle
club secretary, A. C. Stubblefield
superintendent of State Fisheries.
and Archie O'Claire state game
warden, plan to accept an invitation
and be present in Libby Saturday
of this week at the annual picnic
of the Libby Rod & Gun Club
which will be held that evening
at the Libby Fish Hatchery. These
gentlemen are always welcome
guests at meetings of Libby sports
men, and given favorable weather,
will be greeted by a large crowd.
Ray Pival, who is chairman of
the food committee, promises plenty
of good things to eat, together with
the proper refreshments. Rod and
Gun Club picnicS are always pop
ular affairs and the meeting next
doubtless will draw a
record crowd.
The Fisherman's Cup will be pre-
sented at this time to Forrest L. De
Rosia, who wins the possession of
this prize for reporting in with the
largest fish caught on Opening
Day
All members are urged to at
end the picnic
