stained ribbons, creased, sodden velvet
trimmings, and trailing skirts. Taste and
fashion combined have remodelled our
travelling public into Quaker-like simplicity.
Linen costumes are imperative. Handsome
suits of fine foulard, pongee, and silk serge
are simply trimmed with plain bias bands,
closely fitting sleeves, and basque waist,
or polonaise; over this linen
polonaise is worn as protection,
closely buttoned, and trimmed simply with
side plaitings and Gabrielle front, with
three or four deep box-plaits at the back
This style of linen polonaise can be looped
up and worn over corresponding linen
skirt also. Cheap goods of cotton and wool
should be avoided for travelling purposes, as
dsmpness shrinks and gives them a rough,
common look, and the sun and air invariably
fade them. Rather expend little more upon
a good article, such as the fine Eng
lish mohair, pongees, and twilled
foulards, soft in texture and simply
plain in colors, as greenish grey and all
the other shades of greys and browns.
Overskirts to the dress, or the polonaise
skirt, must be very long and only looped up
at the sides. The style of travelling dress to
be preferred, when SO many pieces make up
ones toilette, is the skirt and polonaise closely
fitting, easily adjusted, quantity of narrow
futed ruffiing to be provided for the neck
and wrists, which last much longer than linen
collars and cuffs, and the inevitable, impos-
sible-to-d without linen blouse, polonaise,
or duster, neat little strap for the shawl and
satchel, with an accommodating lock guaran-
teed to keep in order. All this makes an
ensemble calculated to produce perfect spirit
