HINTS FOR PACKING
A very good idea is the thin piece of an old sheet that many old ladies put on the top of their clothes when they have finished packing. By tucking it in well down the sides it not only keeps dirt which silts in from getting on to the clothes, but also keeps the light-fingered from gently abstracting anything. When sending a suitcase by rail this little cover also serves another useful purpose. A well-filled suitcase is inclined to get a bulge in the I'id, leaving the sides of the top a little bit open, and small objects could quite easily trickle out when roughly handled or even garments carefully pulled out, and this top cover thus protects against both the intentional and the accidental disappearance of trifles.
