"BON VOYAGE"
1/ GIFTS FOR THE TRAVELLER
\ Did you ever sit in your stateroom oti an ocean liner completely at sea iln flowers? asks an American writer. {Rewards running with vases, flowers ijoing down to the dining-room, flowers fjpr the ice box, and still flowers to £&ive to the gulls that will follow in j*our wake. I You love it, it's wonderful; but when y-Siu count up some pounds in flowers, your little, practical, Scotch soul c:finges a bit and you say, "Whew! I •wtish they had sent me a little sometlteing I could keep, that didn't require scy much space, so much fuss, and so miuch attention." tßon voyage gifts for trains, for plpnes, for ships, or trailers, should bei useful, small and practical, sometbfing to really remember us by. They csb be. Little silver pin dishes that take up no room at all are individual aiud may be kept very clean, then talfcen home for keeps. Silver identification tags on slender chains are fashionable, and practical, while large gold tags are a mark of distinction. They may also bear the wearer's home address in case of a grea^; desire to linger too long in a delectable spot. H>o>w about a nice jewelled hatpin to kieep diminutive chapeaux on at the precarious angle fashion dictates? A travelling clock is always welcome and not prohibitive in price, or cumberstome, or heavy. It is set for eight daysl of strenuous travelling once it is wiound. . A small case with a useful knife, fork,,'spoon; and bottle opener is tops. They* can also be used in the office for 'yslaves" who often eat luncheon "en desque." "Wlhy not give a scent bottle with a screwed top that gives "no-leak security"? A new compact with a box of powder, a favourite brand, to save time and keep the colour harmony working, is another useful, thoughtful, personal gift. A Jfpare set of evening studs, waistcoat It)uttons, and sleeve buttons is fine for tfye man who has just sent his to the laundry, and is taking the next train. ; Jevrelled barrettes for the new high dressed hair make welcome and useful gifts. New, fresh, and intriguing, besides. '
