“A few days before leaving, make up a checklist of what you intend to take,” advises McAlpin. A day or two later, revise the list and cut it down. Then, as you pack, check off each item as you go. “Keep this checklist and use it as a guide for you r next getaway,” she says. “Build your wardrobe using one or two basic colors so that the same shoes and accessories can be worn with pretty much every thing,” recommends McAlpin. She suggests the combinations of black
and white, brown and beige, or black and beige. Also pack items that are multipurpose. For example, a large T-shirt can double as a nightgown and a beach cover-up; flip flops can double as slippers and casual shoes. “And make sure each item can be worn with at least two outfits.”

At the very time of the humiliation at Fort Duquesne—when George Washington, Daniel Boone, and General Edward Braddock were defeated by French and Indian foes—a Mohawk Indian was readying himself for a warriors’ dance. The Mohawk—name Warraghiyagey (war-rag-ee- YAH-gay)—painted bright designs on his naked chest, stepped into a deerskin kilt adorned with porcupine quills, and donned a cap topped with a single eagle feather. Tied to his wrists and
ankles were dried deer’s hoofs that rattled as he moved. He ate of ceremonial dog meat and threw a red-painted hatchet onto a war post. Soon he would lead the strenuous dance.
