Mrs. Mobberly, being very anxious to encourage the feeling in Ella, that although she had reached the mature age of eighteen her youth was not quite a thing of the past, came in several time to spend a few hours with Mrs. Wilson, so that Ella was set free for a long day’s excursion with her brothers.

Hints for Travellers.
Take one-fourth more money than your estimated expenses, and have a good supply of small change.
Acquaint yourself with the geography of the route and region of travel.
Arrange, if possible, to have but a single article of luggage to look after.
Dress substantially. Better be too hot for two or three hours at noon than be cold for the remainder of the twenty-four.
Arrange, under all circumstances, to be at the place of starting fifteen or twenty minutes before the time, thus allowing for unavoidable or unanticipated detention by the way.
Do not commence a day’s travel before breakfast, even if it has to be eaten at daybreak. Dinner or supper, or both, can be more healthily dispensed with than a good warm breakfast.
