THE OUTING DRKss
becomes more and more important each
season. and the thorough fashionist,
like the prudent quartermaster, is pro-
vided for ell emergencies. For damp,
cool days. a blue serge, flannel or hop
sacking dress is in reserve, but in fair,
bright weather. a white or ecru duck
Eton suit, or linen skirt with white
duck ''reefer" fastened by large buttons
is extremely stylish. The newest col
ored linen suits, navy-blue, ecru or gray,
are trimmed with black satin, repped
silk or moire, either of the three con-
stituting belt, revers, collar and cuffs.

umbrella back) with faring revers oi
black repped silk and three graduatis
silk folds on the skirt.

or fonnces of Brussels net edged by
cream guipure lace, are among rev
combinations; the full, round waists

lace yoke, edged with jet ''rain fringe, /"
always stylish accessory.
