cletne. Neeaea for nn Ocean voynge


One may perhaps venture to refer to
such clothes as are put ON ut sea be-
cause that certainly is not talking
about tho fashions. Formerly people
wore their old things on shipboard, and
presented the general appearances of
guys. This il still done with IMMUNITY,
but since the voyage has been cut down
to six days, half OF which may be spent
in ones berth, less effort is made to get
little more wear out of well.worn gar
ments. knickerbocKers and sweaters,
short skirts and CATERS are rather smart
on deck if the weather is fine. The
aged female sticks to her hood, and
sometimes the pretty ones as we'll. 1t
il the most suitable head gear for
women at sea, for it defies the penetrat-
ing wind, and there certainly is no COM
fort on deck unless one is warm. Gloves
which come up high on the wrist are
Indispensable. A black coat and fair
linen on man at dinner respond
sufficiently to the very slightest at
tempts at dressing which ladies' deem
IN good taste. Unless one has a sturdy
stomach, diving into trunk and maxi
ing a toilet have disturbing effect.
1t is on the homeward voyage, when
the ship is gong to her pier that gay
hats and pretty dresses make the decks
bright, and when normal man returns
to tall hats and new gloves and a cane.
