TRIP ABROAD.
MRS. C. W. NJ, Falls Church.
This is iI1ranswer to v. N,
Washington: We have flown
the route of Paris. Rome and
Athens and have lived in Ath-
ems for two years. We have
found that all nylon clothing
from the skin out is the most
practical. not only because you
can wash it yourself at night
to wear the next day without
ironing. but because of its
light weight, which is impor-
tant when you are travelling
within; the weight allowance of
the airlineS. It is not only
light in weight itself, but you
carry less of It because you can
wear the same clothes daily.
You never allot any precious
weight allowance to dirty
clothes. Laundry service in
European hotels is sometimes
slow so it's more efficient to
depend upon yourself, and
even a travel iron is too heavy
for the air tourist. You will
need to plan your packing very
carefully to- come within the
weight allowance. 1t is best to
do q trial run" by packing
and weighing well ahead of
time to be sure you are not
over the weight limit, as the
cost per pound is very high.
Find out what packages and
small bags are exempt from
the weight allowance. If you
do this some time ahead, you
will have time to replan. A
large shoulder bag is the best
type Of purse for international
travel as you will have many
cards and papers to carry, In
Guiding passport and an inter-
national health card.
Nylon clothing is fine for the
more southern cities but you
will need a coat in Paris.
Last July I wore a winter
weight suit in chilly Paris.
Athens in April and May is
hot. nylonS and cottons are
excellent. I should think q
coat Of the new miracle fabric
which is washable and re-
quires no ironing would be ex-
cellent for your stay abroad.
Dry cleaning in some foreign
countries is not Of good quail
ity and you win have q coat to
come home In since moths in
the heat Of Africa cannot eat
the miracle fabric.
Though you did not ask
about food. may I suggest that
you will be more likely to stay
well on your trip If you do not
eat or drink dairy products of
any kind in these cities and on
the plane. Eat no green SAL
ads. Cooked foods are safe.
You viii have an exciting and
enlightening experience.
