THE TYRANNY OF THE SUPERFLUOUS, There is no doubt that we make things much worse for ourselves by allowing car foresight to get the better of us. We think of every kind of contingency, and try to provide for all. The result is that we are burdened with all sorts of superfluities we find it so difioult to remember that, after all, Life is usually simpler than we expect, and that even if we do appear in a tailor- made when everyone olsa is in a frock we do not look half as strange as we feel. The result of taking too much with us is a grest deal of trouble in packing and unpacking, and a strong probability of spoiling our clothes.

The search was naturally fruitless.
i THE QUESTION OF RATS. This year, the hat-box is in every sense the principal item of our luggage. Its size is alarming, to begin with. I know one woman who in going away packed all her clothes in her hat-boxes and all her hats in or trunks, It was the only way to accommodate them The hats with wreaths of fowers round the crown are easily managed, as the can be removed and possibly packed inside the hat.

COATS AND CLOAKS.
The travelling coat of tweed is usually left out of the packing arrangements, ha exon if it is not journey it is carried. The cost of the indispensable tailor-made will often do for wearing with cotton frocks on rather dull days, A motor and dust-coat of tassore will pack into small space, and the only other overwrop aeces. pretty colour, which will do alike for driving, sary is loose garment of thin cloth, in some garden party, or evening wear.
FROCKS AND BLOU828,

Princess potticoats are the most practicable for travelling, as they are easy to pack, and ave camisoles, Those in silk or alpaca with detachable frills are invaluable. Shows are difficult item in the packing this year, since they are in different colours for the different FORDE. They should be arranged in a layer st the bottom of the box, with small soft articles packed in and between them.-
LABOUR-SAVING NO PIOKO."
The old-fashioned trank is used leas and less; up-to-date luggage now consists of a hat-box, adapboard-trunk, and a box arranged in drawers or shelves. The hat-box speaks for itself; the cupboard-trunk is a treasure. The dresses hang in it as in a cupboard, without crushing or cry possibility of weight coming on them. The trauk Bet un eat at the destination, and its lid the forms up cupboard door, so that it makes a miniature wardrobe. This means that one need never unpook wholly, but simply take out the necessary frock, and when it is put back, it is ready for the next more. In the

DAINTY WAYS OF PACKING. The uses of tis ne paper no one will deny; but it is after alla dimsy material with which to deal, and is more useful for stuffing sleeves than for separating the layers of packing. Em- broidered squares of lawn, with the lane of the article to be found beneath them, are very dainty, and sometimes these squares consist of two thicknesses of muslin, with lavender be- tween them. I bese simplify very much the search for necessary articles in a deep box without shelves; for the things can be lifted out la layers without disturbing them. In these days of short visits, anything that tonila to sare the time and trouble of stant packing and anpacking is a benefit. To stands to reason. that clothes suffer when they are forever wing refolded.
