If one has continually to be paying tips to porters, the smail sums mount up amazingly, as will be found at the end of a journey. So both for comfort and cost it is wise to select hand luggage with reference to its_heaviness. Tiber bags and suit cases come in excellent reproductions of leather. These cases are light in weight. They should be well protected with leather bindings 2t edges and have stout cor- ner pleces of leather or metal. It is true that these add to the heaviness, but without the cases are not sub- stantial enough to wear well. Luggage must have durability or it is worthless. The strips and Corner are necessary. therefore. Suit cases that are not without a certain “smart” appearance are made of split reed. These have the leather trim and corner pieces. Such luggage is apt to be chosen by the woman who travels a good deal and who supple- ments her other luggage of fine leather with light hand baggage. Fitted suit cases and begs are a delight to look at and a convenience, but each article adds to weight in far greater proportion than carefully chosen iraveler's accessories of like kind. Moreover, a fitted suit case will not hold s much as one in which the article | can be stowed away in such available space as presents itself when packing. Trays are not essential except in large suit cases such as are aptly termed trunk cases, auto trunks. pullman In these one or even two trays are found. and they simplify un- packing and getting at things as well as packing. These trays add slightly to weight. As the cases, large or small, can be used without them if the owner prefers, or with them if the con- tents makes them desirable, they have their advantages.

Jack Downing.”) In the Fall of the 1829 I tookit into my head I'd go to the city of Pdrtland. I had heard a good deal about Port- 1and, what a fine place it was afjd how the folks got rich there prope® fast, After I got rigged out, I went roukd and bid all the neighbors good-by, and jumped in and drove off for the gity. First of all I sought the advice bf the editor of the Portland Courier, 3nd I was right to do it, for he took e by the hand as kind as if he had bzen & brother, and says he: “Mister, I'll do anything I can ‘D as- sist you. You have come to a ‘good Maine ithor of town. Portland is a healthy, thriving se place, and any man with a proper de- g’ee of enterprise may do well herz. ut, stranger, if you want to make out mind, you must do as the ‘“fm‘ do.” ts “Well,” says I, “how do they do?” for I didn’t know what a steamboat was any more than the man in the mooy. “Why,” says he, “they go ahead. And you must drive about among yhe folks here just as though you were at home on the farm among the catgle. Don't be afraid of any of them, But figure away, and I dare say you'll get into good business in a very little wr;!e, But,” says he, “there’s one thing you must be careful of, and that is, notito get into the hands of these ere foks as trades up round Hucklers’ row, for there's some sharpers up there, if thby get hold of you, would twist your eye- teeth out in five minutes.” H Well, arter he had giv me all the good advice he could, I went back 0 my aunt’s, where I was staying, ard got some breakfast. Then I walked 2ll over the town, to see what chance ‘I could find to sell my ax handles. After I had walked about three or four hours I come along_toward the upper end of town, where I found there werp stores of all sorts and sizes. I asked what it was, and learned I was i§ ‘Hucklers’ row. H Well, then, says I to myself, I have & pesky notion to go in and have & try with one of these chaps and see if they can twist my eye-teeth out. If they can get the best end of the bargain out of me they can do what there ainyt a man in our place can do; and I should just like to know what sort cf stuff these ere Portland chaps are made of. So in I goes into the bes looking store among 'em. And I see some biscuit lying on the shelf, and TO THE CITY. SMITH. “Mister, how much do you ax apiece for them ere biscuits?” “A cent aplece,” says he. “Well,” says I, “I shan't give you that, but if you've a mind to, I'll give you 2 cents for three of them, for I begin ot feel a little as though I would like to take a bite.” “Well,” says he, “I wouldn't sell 'em to anybody else so, but seeing it's you, I don't care if you take ‘em.” I knew he lied, for he never seen me before in his life. Well, he handed down the biscuits and I took 'em, and walked round the store a while, to see what_else he had to sell. At last have you got any good , “Yes, as good as ever you e “Well,” says I, “what do you ax a glass for it?” “Two cents,” says he. “Well,” says I, “seems to me I feel more dry that I do hungry now. Ain't you a mind to take these ere biscuits egain and give me a glass of cider?” And says he: “I don't care if I do.” So he took and laid ’em on the shelf again and poured out a glass of cider. I took the glass of cider and drinkt it down, and, to tell you the truth about it, it was capital good cider. Then says I: B “I guess it's about time for me to be a-going.” and so I stept along toward the door, but he ups and says, says he: “Stop, mister; I believe you haven't paid me for the cider you just drank down.” “Not paid you for the cider!"” says I. “What do you mean by that? Didn't the biscuits that I give you just come to the amount I should have paid you for the cider?” “Oh, ah, right!” says he. 8o I started to go again, but before I had reached the door he says, says he: “But, stop, mister; you didn’t pay me for the biscuits.” “What!” says I, “do you mean to im- pose u&m me? Do you think I am Io‘.l’laze pay for the biscuits and let you p them, too? Ain’t they there now on your shelf? What more do you want? I guess, sir, you don’t whittle me in that way. 8o I turned about and marched off and left the feller standing there, star- ing arter me and scratching his head as though he was struck with dunderment. Howsomever, I didn’t want to cheat him, only jest to show 'em it wasn't so easy a matter to pull my eye-teeth out, South she was preparing a dessert which she knew would be a surprise to she explained to Lois later. 1 not too hard to make.” 1 cooked some rice in milk in this | fashion.

Then I added one tablespoon butter PORTUGAIJE and two egg yolks. I put this mixture in individual ring molds and set it away to_cool. Then I made an apricot sauce by taking the juice and pulp from one can of apricots. Put them through a fine sieve to get pulp. To this add the juice of one-half lemon, one cup sugar and one cup water. Bring this to a boil and thicken with two tea- spoons cornstarch stirred in little cold water. When this has boiled and is translucent take from fire. Heat canned peach halves in their own liquid. At serving time place a peach with pit side down on top of unmolded rice ring and cover with hot apricot sauce. Pears can be used in place of peaches.
