THAT WELL-GROOMED LOOK

ilave you a frock and- coat that simply won’t squeeze in without woeful crushing? Then take this tip ffom touring actresses. Lay out the coat flat and slip the frock into it, sleeves inside sleeves, as it would bo if both were worn. Pin the two sets of shoulders together and button the coat over the frock. Then, folded loosely over your arm, it will travel quite uncrushcd—and no one will suspect the dress inside! You might even carry two frocks like this.

There’s an art in packing so that one’s clothes emerge fresh and uncrumplcd. A large suitcase partly filled is as fatal ns an overcrowded one. For an overnight visit or journey discard your suitcase, carrying instead one of the now, small overnight cases in gay American cloth. These are very light, waterproof and just hold the needs of one night. Shoes pav for careful packing. To puck each pair with, its trees in lakes overmuch space- in a small suitcase — so let your small toilet and medicine bottles, flat cream jars, etc., act as travelling trees. They will both keep the shoes stretched nicely and pad: safely themselves without risk ot breakage. Each pair of shoes should bo slipped into a cotton shoe-bag alter bottle-stuffing the toes.
