In a Sleeping Car.

New York Journal* Let the fastidious woman that pro tests that she must take a sponge, flesh brush, bath rug and cut-glass toilet bottles of perfumery, cosmetics and toilet waters on a railroad journey learn something about the fitness of things .If she a has stateroom and a maid to carry her luggage it is a different matter, but aside from loading herself with these traps the woman* who takes a berth will have absolutely no chance to use them. A sleeping car is hardly the place for a spongebath, even though the chances for a tidy ablution were better than they are.
