Send the magazines gE a ue MARKING ING TRUNKS. oda Devices Used by W by Which to Easily Identify Baggage. A curjous fashion of marking trunks by some Individual and odd device bas come into practice. It is a trick that helps to identify one's baggage Instant- ly, even at a distance, in a crowded railway station, and thus facilitates travel, especially abroad, where so much red tape entangles baggage transportation. Some of the devices used are queer, to say the least. A lover of dogs had big brindlJe's heads in brown and white Painted at intervals on all her trunks and suit cases before sailing for Ger- many. She felt sure, she sald, that she would be able to identify her bag- gage anywhere by these signs. Another curious design is that of skull and crossbones, done in black, white and red, on top, sides and ends of trunk and on the bottom of every of one traveler. Dumbbell designs in red, white and blue identify another lot of baggage. One society woman has her trunks all marked with a design of a pair of gloves, painted red, black and gold, d appearing as if just taken off the hand and carelessly tossed in the trunk. crests In gold and colors are used, and college girls going abroad have curious Chinese dragons, birds, ete, done in oriental color combina- tlons on thelr baggage.
