The girl who would a-traveling so has
plenty of nice things to show in case of
a car accident says the Philadelphia I'M
quirer." Indeed, the elaborate prepara-
tons indicate that she would not be
greatly averse to a tumble could she be
sure of landing in a picturesque heap in
some nice grassy ditch. What a pretty
display there would be. OF stockings and
pettieoats, Plaid hose and silk lingerie
as She calls them.
Travelling neckties are of satin which
sheds the dust. You can buy beautiful
four-in-hand black satin ties tina are
warranted to take YOU from Dan to Beer
sheba without getting frayed. or rusty.
You can also get the black satin tie with
a pin stripe of scarlet running through
1t, which is very smart; or the black
satin with the narrow stripe of thyme
green. that lovely mellow shade of green.
Oleander pink is a new neckties color,
but hat is not intended for travelling.
The oleander tie may be carried in the
satchel and put on for dinner, but it is
not the travelling tie.
"A very good necktie for the dusty cars
is the black satin bow. which can be tied
with full loops and ends. This is worn
with a Jacket which buttons quite high
in the neck.
Very high collars are worn for travel
ing. They soil easily. but on the other
hand they are considered more trim ard
fit than the low collar, which somehow
has a too dressy appearance for the cars.
The correct collar stands very high
around the throat and may or may not
turn over. It is very tight fitting to the
neck and is quite a becoming collar. These
come in celluloid, which can be washed
with a little sponge and wiped off. Cell
luioid comes this year for travelling col
lars in all the new shapes and it is made
without the very high gloss of the old
celluloid collar.
Women who sickle at anything except
linen can buy very cheap white linen coll
lars. to be thrown away after one wear
ing. These hints. it must be borne in
mind, are given for the woman who is
trying to ecpnomize and not. for the one
with unlimited money.

The petticoat for travelling deserves a
chapter by itself. 1t is not Of silk, of that
you may be certain. The silk skirt is
far too frail for such a mission.
There are several skirts used for trav-
Gins III lightweight SOWIS.
One is the nearsilk skirt, which is almost
as light as silk and every whit as effee-
tive. You cannot tell it from taffeta in
certain lights. You can get a nearsilk
skirt in eerise with two ruffles, each ruffIe
being composed of three overlapping, or
small ~ruffles, for three dollars, and you
do not want to do any better than that.
You can make one up even cheaper, but
it will probably not hang as well.
The moreen skirt is the ideal one for
sea voyages. as it keeps its shape like
haircloth, which it somewhat resembles
in texture. 1t is thinner than hairciorh
and less objectionable to the touch. 1t
comes IN all colors and though not cheap
it has the merit OF wearing forever. Mo-
reen can be highly recommended for
growing girls who wear out the hens Of
their petticoats in some inexpliGable way.
A good moreen skirt in watered black to
resemble watered black silk can be
bought for the same price as a nearsilk,
but in the fashionable colors the moreen
skirt comes higher Tor of these sub
stitutes for taffeta is lined. Taffeta, if a
woman must have a silk skirt for trav-
cling. is made pretty and serviceable by
binding the skirt ruffles with black vel
vet.
The ideal travelling hat is a big wavy
one with rolling wides. 1t resembles the
Clara Mowbray hat of a generation ago
and the falcon hat of the days of Queen
Bess. A woman looks classic in such a
hat. no matter how plain she may be.
They make these hats, this year, in every
color of the rainbow and while you are
buying one you may as well get it to
match your Jacket.
Do you know that it is the very smart
thing to rave the hat match the jacket?
If you wear a thyme green coat be sure
to get a straw hat of thyme green. If
your jacket is beet red, that fashionable
coat color, get a beet red hat. You might
as well look smart while you are about
1t, and next summer, if YOU must wear
the same hat two seasons, you can dip
your hat into five cents worth of dye, or
varnish it with your own shiny shoe poll
fsA- But don't buy a brown or black
hat through economy, there isn't anything
in IT.
OF course you want to know the kind
Of gloves for travelling. Just at this min
ute the proper shade is a bright scarlet,
with short tops and large buttons. These
are worn with any and every costume.
And the woman of fashion looks as
though she might have dipped her hands
in the blood of her enemy beforet starting
upon her travelling journey. The amfable
truth is THAT the manufacturers have
produced a very beautiful shade of red
for a very convenient price, and the wom-
an of moderate means can afford to wear
a pretty pair Of gloves without paying
too much for them.
Travelling dresses consist of shirt waist
and tweed skirt.
I saw a young woman starting for
Holland the other day. whittier she is
going to view the coronation of Queen
WiIhelminaa in August. She wore a shirt
waist of tweed, with buttons down one
side to give a deuble-breasted effect. The
material was thin. yet warm. The sleeves
were tight below the elbow and finished
with a broad cloth cuff. There was a sug-
gestfon of brafding upon the waist and
around the collar. Her skirt was a thin
blue serge. Her coat was a blue cloth,
tailor made, and she wore a gay hat
trimmed with carnations and ore big
blreh.rd.
