Gives you th: e Vitality to keep you fit Luggage EASE The Ideal Bag Now that luggage is still mostly confined to suitcases, it becomes important to choose\the right sort of bag or case—one that-is not too big, but one which does not imply leaving behind shoes that one will ultimately long for, or a coat which, though re-dun dant, is indispensable. Perhaps the first thing of all to be remembered is the bag from which things will be taken on the journey. This must be large enough: for variety, small enough to handle comfortably, and ea: enough to open -without trouble. There are rather soft bags. weighing almost nothing, with zipper tops which contain an incredible amount and the softness of which enables them to take anything from extrá shoes to a vacuum flask. Having á zipper the usual handbag can also be put inside and got at easily, thus saving a valuable hand.
The really ideal suitcase is perhaps not to be found. A good plan is to buy a nest of three. These can be exceedingly cheap and then they can be renewed. They have the advantage that they can all be put away, one inside the other, and that they offer a choice where the amount of luggage to take may not be determined until the last moment, If luggage is to be carried by oneself, a larger bag to be got at and a good-sized suitcase—one that, has depth as well as the other dimensions—are advisable. If porters are to be employed a larger and a smaller suitcase are useful, and the handbag may then be of the size that is least trouble to carry oneself. An important point in choosing a suitcase is to have one of sufficient length to take an umbrella. Hatboxes may be necessary, and other illings may be packed with hats, but they are usually the least convenient shape in luggage.
