e lip,
this is the safest protection for a travelling young girl that I know
of; it has, however, the one objection that all the old ladies on the
train are likely to tell you what they think of Katherine Fullerton
Gerould, or their rheumatism.

If you are compelled to go to the dining car alone, you will probably
sit beside an Elk with white socks, who will call the waiter "George."
Along about the second course he will say to you, "It's warm for
September, isn't it?" to which you should answer "No." That will dispose
of the Elk.

Across the table from you will be a Grand Army man and his wife, going
to visit their boy Elmer's wife's folks in Schenectady. When the fish is
served, the Grand Army man will choke on a bone. Let him choke, but do
not be too hopeful, as the chances are that he will dislodge the bone.
All will go well until the dessert, when his wife will begin telling how
raspberry sherbet always disagrees with her. Offer her your raspberry
sherbet.

After dinner you may wish to read for a while, but the porter will
probably have made up all the berths for the night. It will also be
found that the light in your berth does not work, so you will be awake
for a long time; finally, just as you are leaving Buffalo, you will at
last get to sleep, and when you open your eyes again, you will be--in
Buffalo.

There will be two more awakenings that night--once at Batavia, where a
merry wedding party with horns and cow bells will follow the lucky bride
and groom into your car, and once at Schenectady, where the Pullman car
shock-absorbing tests are held. The next morning, tired but unhappy, you
will reach New York.

A JOURNEY AROUND NEW YORK

The Aquarium. Take Fifth Avenue Bus to Times Square. Transfer to 42nd
Street Crosstown. Get off at 44th Street, and walk one block south to
the Biltmore. The most interesting fish will be found underneath the
hanging clock, near the telephone booths.

Grant's Tomb. Take Fifth Avenue bus, and a light lunch. Change at
Washington Square to a blue serge or dotted Swiss. Ride to the end of
the line, and walk three blocks east. Then return the same way you came,
followed by three fast sets of tennis, a light supper and early to bed.
If you do not feel better in the morning, cut out milk, fresh fruit and
uncooked foods for a while.

Metropolitan Museum of Art. Take Subway to Brooklyn. (Flatbush.) Then
ask the subway guard where to go; he will tell you.

The Bronx. Take thr
