LITTLE CONVENIENCES FOR TRAVELLERS.

No matter how foh'd a girl is of travelling, she generally'considers it a great nuisance to pack and.unpack her-trunk, and probably nothing' would prevent it being something of a trouble:' But tho bother can bo considerably lessened "by;' 1 haying! as complete a "trunk outfit" as possible,-and (a most important point) having in one's home a special box or drawer-where all'these things are kept when not in;use. 'A' complete list of what one always 'Wants- to'take away is also a great help.. .'Then, when-it is time to pack the trunk and all these things are taken out and mado • ready," everything goes easily and quickly. ;. . Erst, of course,-comes tho case for toilet articles, with little' pockets for brush, comb, toothbrush/ sf>onge,' hairpins, etc. Tho pockets ■ for toothbrush ■- . and: .sponge, must '■■-■ bo lined'" with: rub-;;"" bcr; or, if ! one'doe's"' not want to uso' - rubber in this' case, tho toothbrush' can' '•' have "a .little-rub- '"■'■ 'ber-lined case of 'its : _>:-->" own and the sponge '■'■'', a. bag' that draws 'y' up with a 6tririg.■ :; '-• Tho manicure set-;" may have its own' " special ouse or pop- ' kots made' for it in .' the larger: case. A_' little' chamois-lined"-' bag for. powder ; anda' .small powder "puff also- go '.with"this;' 1 " part, of--the- outfit:-;•" ■ One of .tho ■ great- - ■ est conveniences .;in •.: packing a'trunk is ! ' ■to have cases mado liko enveloiiesu-fbr -.'■ shoes, waists, and ..„'•• corsets. For.the ]. waists and corsets !they should be made -.r of dimity,' in "the case of tho waists—• • large enough-to-lay ;• : them out''flat'.' For .shoes dimity can be used, but something a little heavier'is 1 better. Each case should . hold-one : shoo_ or-a-pair of slippers. The envelope flap, n buttoning over, keeps them closed, and gives, the-least trouble. A long, narrow,:case,.of;.the:.dimity for each light ' parasol'that is to-'be packed keeps the'para,sols clean.and .also reminds one that they are to be packed. These are best open at tho:end, .but..the other casos may be open either at the end or sido, as ono may pre- " for, says .the. "New..York Herald." A travelling medicine caso is' very useful, Not that .a.girl is likely to carry much in the way of .medicino, but tho bottles art generally: very ..safe, for carrying any kind oi , liquid—alcohol for.curling the hair, perfume, witch hazel to. use for possible bruises, and ono bottle may be used for tooth powder and another for toilet powder. Iha.dress.hangers. .made especially foi gravelling,..that. push:up into a very smal space, are most useful, and every girl wht travels should have.a case of them. Thej are found.-with- several different kinds oi i leather cases, but the most convenient kinc for packing is the round and flexible one.
