PACKING HINTS

See that the top of the talcum powder can is tightly clbsed. Take as few bottles as are needed and see that the necessary ones are well wrapped in soiled clothes, the kimono or some other soft material. Wrap shoes individually in soiled clothes or newspapers. This saves space. If there are framed pictures, plg&e them in the folds of a comfort or between pillows. If these are not available, skirts may be used. Place books flatly on the bottom of the trunk. Collars may be folded together in paper if a collar bag is not owned. Clean handkerchiefs should be placed between laundered clothes if a handkerchief box is not in the belongings. Posters or other papers to be preserved in smooth condition may be laid on the bottom of the trunk. The chafing dish may be made to hold trinkets, or, if the lid is not to be tied on, may afford space for a package. If the tray Is heavily packed, be sure that it is well supported.
