New YoRK, June 16.-The travelling
dress should not more than touch the
ground, and since most designs are
simple this season the home dress
maker can readily devise suitable one.
| Light woods are always considered most
appropriate where hard usage is re-
| quired and desirable models show three
pieces, skirt, vest and jacket, the two
latter being readily dispensed with
during very warm weather, in favor Of
an independent waist in light quality
silk. The shops are amply supplied
with serviceable ready-made dresses in
eepieces, jacket, vest and skirt, while
the numbers of waists shown have never
been so numerous and in such variety.

remains the best choice for travelling
bags and when not fitted, prices are
within the means of most people, nice
ones of good size being shown for from
IS to So. As fitted bags are dispropor-
tlonately expensive, economical persons
avail themselves of the convenient cases
|
tain needful toilet articles Hair, nail,
tooth brush and comb are of small size
and closely packed in a roll like case
that takes up scarcely any room and can
be bought for less than dollar and for
| $3.50, toilet cases that fold over, are
provided with every requisite, even
to manicure implements, soap box
and towel. Perfumery in summer, is a
necessity and in providing the general
| outfit, one should not fail to remember
Murray and Lanman's Florida water
since without this refreshing perfume
no ladys supply of toilet articles is
complete. But if fair readers would
avoid disappointment, let them be sure
of the name and beware of the host Of
inferior substitutes. Among
THIN MATERIALS,
dotted Swiss muslin in colors and show
ing floral figures, is noteworthy. Cotton
crepons are in endless variety, plain,
printed or embroidered and in the way
of thin white fabrics, Swiss or India
muslin, lawn, open work weayes that
initiate lace, to say nothing Of crepon,
are in favor Coiored or white Bedford
cord made into suits of three pieces,
jacket, vest and skirt, have much style,
particularly the white. Particular style
likewise attaches TO blazer suits of white
or colored serge. One in white is worn
with full pink vest of China silk; one
in pale blue harmonizes prettily with a
pale yellow vest, and a dashing suit in
, crimson serge has full vest of dotted
crimson silk, More practical blazer
suits are in dark blue, tan or gray and
all are with simple tailor finish. Outing
suits of serge where the Russian blouse
comes in effectively, give change and
here notable example IN white serge
shows short sleeved blouse in crimson
outlined by gilt, with a band to cor
respond headed by gilt around the bot
tom Of the skirt Dresses for

while light silks have their quota Of

one from the other, producing mucl
