ing throng of fresh-air seekers-on foot on
horseback, awheel or revelfng In the lnx
urfous ease of the rubber-tired, silk-cush-
Toned equipage. For all these modes of
locomotion fashion has prepared various
and varying styles of costumes
The spring wrap. a most important fea-
ture OF the outdoor toilet and destined
rather as an elegant finish to the gown
than to give warmth or guard against
stray and aggressive zephyrs, Is made of
pIeated chiffon-crepe, draped over change
able taffeta lining, jetted. spangied or silk
embroidered laces. Jackets light in color
and weight retain the close-fittins back
and loose front. and comply with the taste
Of the wearer as regards length. The cloth
cape has assumed a strange new form
which makes the wearer appear like q
huge moth just burst forth from its
ehrysahs. particularly when the hat is
decorated by two aigrettes standing high
to right and left like feelers
one model to be worn by an ultra-fash-
for able bride on her wedding trip is of tan
clotn, cut In serpentfne shape very long
at the back and shortening at the sides
toward the front. where it opens with two
large stiff reveres over vest of plaid
surah and white pleated taffeta. The
very high faring collar is of tan cloth
lined with green, blue and yellow plaid
suTah, and is filed out by a full ruche of
pinked white taffeta. Strips of tan cloth
decorate the cape and reveres with SER
pentine lines and are stitched on with
white silk. The hat worn with this UNIQUE
travelling wrap is wide-brimmed tan
colored sailor with plaid and white silk
ruche trimming. from which rise two black
feather aigrettes, lending the odd resem-
bl4nce spoken of above. Another charm
ing completion for the light summer toilet
Is the fichu wrap of silk gauze, ribbon
or lace, which crosses over the bust end
Is drawn over the hips to the back, where

there will be different arrangement of

sible by the skill of the designer, who
has arranged his plans for the pipe work
so that by shutting off some of the jets
and turning on others, floral formations
can be turned into pillars of water, and
wreathes of crystal food into wavy twists
