Travellers Dress.

According to an old traveller, one Of the
first things one notices In the crowd of pas
sengers recently quitting American shores Is
the sensible and appropriate costumes In
which they array themselves. The reproach
of the American woman-that she wears
costly and heavy jewels at all times and sea-
sons-is taken away from her. Her charm
ing sea costume bears the marks of artists
brains and fingers, but is simplicity itself.
A steel blue serge, perhaps trimmed with
white braid, a little straw bonnet and blue
veil, tiny scarf pin at the throat, no ear
rings, no brooch, and only keepsake rings
on her fingers.-San Francisco ArRopaut
