For Traveling.

Take a candle in your bag and a box of safety matches. When they are wanted you will be glad they were put in. The space required for them is small. A passenger bn a steamer that was wrecked had a small candle which enabled her to collect some of her most valuable possessions when the lights went out after the collision. Carry a few pens in your bag if you do not use a fountain pen. You will find that it is worth while, as the pens provided at some hotels and other public places are often so bad that it is impossible to use them with any satisfaction. Envelopes used in packing small articles will be found better than boxes, as they take up less room. Stout, collapsible envelopes, which may be bought where office supplies are sold, will be found satisfactory. Gloves, handkerchiefs, neck arrangements, etc., may be kept nicely in such envelopes.
