The time when lady travellers enveloped
themselves in sleeveless and cumbersome
capes of linen and other unhandy garments
for brief journey, is thing of the past,
and in their place to day are travelling Co.'S
tunes and wraps as stylish and trim as can
be found among the whole array of fash-
ionable toilets, designed for any occasion.
Poionaises and tunics are just now in high
vogue for travelling use, and by clever

in dark rich heather mixtures, cheviot,

The styles of wearing the hair are vari-
Gus, and indicate desire on the part OF
the hair-dressers to do away with the
graceful simplicity that has been the
fashion for some time past. Many still
adopt the "Langtry twist" the emigrant
braid and the classic Grecian knot; but
wide, loose braids, falling low on the nape
of the neck, or short ourls and coils of hair
intertwined seem likely to replace these
more compact styles. The old-fashioned
French twist of our mothers days has been
revived also, as well as the two long ring
let's falling on the neck-a fashion once
brought into great favor by the Princess of
Wales. The Japanese coils are still worn
upon full-dress occasions, as this unique
style of coiffure gives abundant oppor-
tunity for the display of handsome jewel
