Requirements on Shipboard
BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.
QUERIES come in about what
is needed in the way of a
steamer wardrobe. Without
the proper clothing one is
handicapped. Many people
overburden themselves, while others take
Inappropriate things. It is well to re
member that most persons like to bring
some frocks or wearing apparel home
with them, so it is wise to "travel
light.” Certain countries are famous
for specific things, and it increases per
gonal pleasure to be able to get these
things "on the spot,” even though they
A HEAVY TOP COAT AND A SNUG
HAT ARE INDISPENSABLE.
Inay be no better than what can be
bought at scarcely greater cost, at home.
With this hint on "traveling light"
Ft us consider essentials for the steamer
ardrobe. First of all. be sure to take
good warm coat. The enjoyment of
the ship's deck will be lost without it.
To be sure, when you cross the gulf
stream you are likely to be as hot as if
on land, but the coat then can be left
In the stateroom.
A snugly fitting hat is also essential.
Today such hats are not hard to get.
A silk handkerchief or triangular scarf
is so often worn tied around the head
that this is recommended for comfort
Then, too, they can be extremely be
coming if well arranged.
A sport suit, preferably in some one
I of the many knit ar Jersey weaves, is
needed. Most of these weaves do not
wrinkle and can be packed easily. Avoid
the bulky type of dress. Space is de
sirable, and as abroad extra charge is
made for overweight, cumbersome lug
gage is also expensive. A change of
sport wear is advised, something rather
dressy for afternoons. A sflk frock
packs in small compass. Don't forget
a sweater, or “woolly,” as it is termed
in England. It is wise to take two
changes of underwear.
A nice evening wrap will be much
used on shipboard by the woman who
wishes to be well dressed. Do not omit
one evening frock. There are continual
functions on shipboard, for which you
will wish to be correctly gowned.
Choo6? one that will not muss easily.
Shoes are a difficult proposition.
They are bulky and heavy, yet nowhere
can such good shoes be bought as in
America. On shipboard good walking
shoes will be needed and one pair of
shoes which can be worn appropriately
with evening dress. As dancing is pop
ular on ships, be prepared to enjoy it
in nice shoes.
Steamer rugs are rented, as well as
steamer chairs. Neither should be
takpn unless a long sojourn makes one
or both of these articles add distinctly
to comfort. Sometimes a steamer rug
is taken just for this reason. But the
rug is more often taken for Winter
than Summer trips.
If one does noi care to be burdened
with heavy garments during travels, it
is possible to store them with a steam
ship company on which a return voy
age is to be taken. Only a modest sum
is asked for such storage.

NANCY PAGE
Susan Is Cool, Comfortable
and Covered.
BT FLORENCE LA GANKE.
The early Summer days were keeping
Nancy busy. She had Joan pretty well
outfitted and her young son Peter was
supplied with sun suits, overalls and
afternoon suits of brief trousers of plain
color attached to blouses of sheer dimi
ties. lawns and linens.
Baby Susan was another problem.
She would not need many dresses, for
Nancy planned a sensible, cool Summer
for her 6-month-old daughter. She
would be able to kick and stretch and
paw the air with chubby, active legs
unhampered by dresses and warm petti
1 coats.
Much of her sleeping time would be
spent in her large pram or carriage.
Her crib was out on the sleeping porch,
too. Nancy's problem was the kind of
coverings to provide for the Summer
days and nights.
She bought some finely striped pale
blue and white seersucker. She made
a crib cover of this, turning the hem
back on the right side and using rick
rack for triirming. She caught the
points of pale pink and white rick
lallw uiaiu nun jcuuw uu viuiutt; wv
ton. In the comers she put three
small flowers made of rick rack braid.
The points of the petals and the center
French knots were made of the same
yellow embroidery thread. The hem
was blindstitched before the bra\l was
put on
A transparent cover which allowed
the sun and air to come through but
kept out flies, dirt, mosquitoes and
other Summer pests was made of dotted
net or point d'esprit. It had a hem on
all four sides. In this was run a dur
able round elastic. The cover was slip
ped over pram and the elastic kept the
cover in place. Nothing could creep
in and Susan's kicking could not dis
lodge it.
Railway Offered as Gift.
A railway, complete with stations
and rolling stock, is offered free of
charge by the Bavarian government.
Furthermore. Bavaria will give $2,500
a year to the person who will run it.
The government cannot make the road
pay and it does not wish to shut it
down because it brings many money
spending tourists and holiday makers
to tile country.
S. IDoro^yDi^l 3j:
IF a good fairy should suddenly appear before her and oiler any woman
her heart's desire, she would cry out, "Give me beauty,” without ever
even pausing to consider the subject. For, If she told the truth, there
Isn’t a single female of any age, station or achievements who wouldn’t
rather be pulchritudinous than to be intelligent or talented or amiable
or who doesn't get more of a kick out of being praised for her looks than
she does for her accomplishments, no matter how great these may be.
Also, the woman would shrewdly argue that if she possessed beauty
she could get for herself all of the balance of the things she craved. If
she wants money, she can marry It. If she desires good times, there are
relays of men anxious to step out with a good-looker. If she yearns lor
position and place, she has only to roll her glorious eyes to be Invited
into the reserved seats of the mighty.
pURTHERMORE, the woman would reflect, there Is no other such alibi
as beauty. A peaches-and-cream complexion and wavy hair are a
substitute for brains, and as long as a woman’s head is sufficiently deco
rated on the outside no one cares how scantily furnished It is on the
Inside. Noboby expects a living picture to be a kitchen utensil, or a
lily-white hand to cook or scrub or have a tight hold on the market money.
But, after all, is beauty so all-powerful as women think It Is? Does
beauty insure a woman’s happiness and success In life as women so
devoutly believe it does? Is It really God’s best gift to a woman?
ACCORDING to the recently expressed opinion of a “Pollies” beauty,
'*'*• than whom none Is more pulchritudinous, the answer Is emphatically
“no.” She says that beauty Is Indeed a fatal gift and that hers has
brought her nothing but trouble and worry and disastrous marriages and
blighted ambitions and hopes and plans that failed, and that the woman
who has to depend on her brains instead of her looks has a better chance
of happiness and success than has the beauty.
One is inclined to agree with her and to surmise that beauty has
probably always been a much overadvertised attraction, for which its
owner had to pay far more than It was worth. Possibly It has never got
her what she thought It would, and Indeed in msmy cases It has cost a
woman her life, for in ancient times it was always the most beautiful
maiden who was selected for sacrifice, while the lucky owners of snub
noses and carroty hair went safe and free.
TV^OR Is beauty really as potent In modern life as we think it Is. No man,
1 ^ or at least no man's wife, wants a raving, tearing beauty In his office,
and so it is a real handicap to a girl in getting a Job if she belongs in
the bathing beauty class.
Nor is beauty the sure-fire conjure in getting a girl a husband that
it Is believed to be. The general assumption is that if a girl has a classical
profile and golden hair and violet eyes, she casts a spell over men that
they are powerless to resist, and she can marry whom she pleases. This,
however, is far from being the case. Theoretically men are worshipers of
beauty, and they like to take a girl out who is so good-looking that she
makes other men stare enviously after her. but when it comes to marriage,
9 times out of 10 a man chooses a plain little wren for a wife instead of
a gorgeous bird of paradise. DOROTHY DIX.

EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY
Prophetic Dream*.
From Bible times on down to the
present, different persons have claimed
Ahat dreams arc prophecies. I have
just finished reading one of these
treatises. I am still unconvinced that
dreams foretell the future. And I sup
pose that thousands are still uncon
vinced dreams are not prophetic. How
can this problem be answered?
For one thing, the proponents of the
theory of prophetic dreams merely sav
that they know of certain dreams that
did foretell the future. They argue on
the basis of what some one told them
Of course, that means nothing by way
of explanation.
Take this point of view: A lot of
persons, especially children, mistake
their dreams for realities. Also a lot
of adults go through the better part of
a day displaying moods that correspond
with their dreams of the preceding
night. So much for facts. For a state
of mind is a fact.
Why, then, is it not possible for some
to reason backward and mistake reali
ties for dreams? It is quite possible
Just as some relate their day-dreams so
often that they come to believe they
represent facts.
This backward swash of fancies e\
plalns why some imagine that they have
dreamed things before those things
happened. They are mistaken. They
misinterpret a reality mood for a dream
mood. With their minds working in
