Such a wardrobe, for instance, would be amply sufficient for a week or ten days' trip. even if one expected to be entertained in the evening. since the black satin skirt, with the two evening waists would serve as two dis- tinot toilets. The same outfit, also, would be ample for a six weeks' trip to Europe. with the addition of the heavy clothing required on the steam- er, which might, if :‘desired, be left with the steamship company until the re-‘ turn voyage.

These held her ‘outfit for pleasure trip of several weeks, .only two or three days being spent at [any one place. and it was amply suffici- ent. "I used to think I could go no- where without at least one big trunk‘ and generally took two or three.

A law of the state made it a peniten- tiary offence for any one to assist in the escape of slaves. but the brother, desperate at seeing his beloved sister sold to such a man, for such a pur- pose, resolved to rescue her at all cost to himself. He took into his confidence a trusted friend. and they arranged. with an agent of the underground road i to help her in her flight.
