Show THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELER. The "nrw woman" doesn't propose to miss the delights of travel simply for lack o a protector. She knows how to take care of herself, and when she starts off on a little journey nowadays nowa-days it isn't with the nervous dread that something's going to happen before be-fore she reaches her destination ii ever she does, but she proceeds at once to make herself comfortable and to thoroughly enjoy her little rub up against the outside world. But although she rests secure in a delightful feeling of safety, it ha3 never occurred to the general woman that "making her to travel in safety" is a business all in itself. '. She may have heard, for example, that the great New York Central Railroad is the only route in the United Unit-ed States that is completely equipped with the world-famous lock and block system of signals, but that doesn't mean anything to her until you explain ex-plain that by this system every foot over which she travels is carefully and unceasingly watched and signaled day and night, and that collision is practically prac-tically impossible, because a train cannot can-not enter a given block or section until un-til the train ahead has passed out, and that even if there should be another train following on the same track the engineer knows all about it through the electric telegraph, which is part of the system, thus making assurance doubly sure. If the lone woman happens to be going to New York City she need have no dread of landing alone in the confusion con-fusion of a big, strange place if she travels by the New York Central. All she has to do is to speak to one of the red-capped attendants free service who will carry her bag, answer her questions and show her to cab, car or elevated train. Another thing, she lands right in the heart of the city within a step of a dozen or more of its leading hotels and she should hear in mind that this is the only railroad depot in all New York City. The New York Central might aptly be called "the lone woman's route." Fashions. |
