FOR FORGETFUL GUESTS

You have seen to the guest rooms. Comfortable provision has been made for smoking, writing, and reading, The bedside books will bear reading for as little as half an hour at a time. They are piquant and yet restful;., witty, but not too much for tired eyes. But in addition it is possible to do something more which may make all the difference to comfort. We are very few of us perfect packers, and to most has come the painful discovery, too late to rectify, of some essen-, tial omitted. How delightful to find that a hostess has provided beforehand, and one is spared even the con-, fusion of asking. The manner of doing this is simple and quite inexpensive. A small cupboard —or even a suitable box, prettily decorated —is put in a conspicuous place in the'room, and inside are the following new articles, practically all costing just a few pence:—Tooth brush, tooth paste, nail brush, sponge, shaving brush, shaving soap, comb, powder, safety razor and two blades, wadding for a cut chin, iodine, aspirin, v'aseline, rubber plaster, bandage, needle case, card of studs, safety pins, bath cubes or salts, “bachelor” buttons, fruit salt or sodamints. To complete the matter, the cupboard or box is thrown open, and a card is left in'it with these words: If there is anything here which may add to your comfort or has been overlooked hi packing, take it and welcome.
