chestnut and reI-browns, ONE very beau
tiful and others too conspicuous for tho
railway. Cold-looking and pretty suits
are made from the new light-colored eta
mines and mohair grenadines.
The travelling skirt, like other draperies,
must be close-fitting about the hips,
drawn in below the hips and expanded
again at the heels. 1t must be buttoned
somewhere, at the back or sides. 1t ad-
mits no trimmings except ONE hundred
and one stitchings or strapping or a liz
tie braid.
The coat must be manoeuvred to be
equally charming whether worn open or
closed. Some variety of Elton is the sea-
sons favorite, and the most useful mod
els for travelling have close-fitting backs
and straight or semi-fitting fronts. cut
so as to increase the apparent length Of
the waist. They have little fulness in the
basque, and are short on the hips to show
a tiny swallowtail behind. There are
those who are heartily tired of revers;
others who adhere to them decorated with
stitchings. braid or soft, blurry brocades.
A high Medici collar should be added.
Most important to a coat are it's but
tons, which are to be counted by the doz-
en-, and which display themselves in
enamel, crystal or silver; in polished or
engraved metal or in Wedgewood set in
steel rims. Not least in rank are those
| worked over with silk thread to match
ones Innings.
If a travelling dress boasts two blouses,
| the girl who journeys does SO with extra
| peace of mind. For railway service a
| simple waist of striped or dotted silk an

| fashion alike prohibit the stiff. white lin
en- collar. Sleeves are finished with self
cuffs, while the neck has a silk stock and
a Windsor or sailor knot, with the ends
pointed and frilled with ribbon or chiffon
ruching.
Suppose the journey finished, and the
trunks delayed or the fatigue Of unpack-
ing not at once to be undertaken, there is
the chance to draw from ones hand lug
| gage a more dressy vest of mousseline de
sole over taffeta or China silk, giving al
most the relief Of freshness of a change
! of costume. Some pretty vests of this
sort are cut low and double breasted,
and worn with a chemisette OF finely

The task of suiting oneself with an or
binary afternoon" hat is easy compared
with the quest for a tailor hat that
shall be smart, comfortable and suitable
for the girl who goes a-traveling. The
man-milliner this spring has taken to
himself wings; not with which to fly from
his customers. He covers their travelling
head-gear with symbols of flight in the
! shape of ducks wings and even plumes
culled from the mighty eagle. Sailor
shapes in straw or felt are thus decora-
ted, as well as softer and less aggressive
| toques and the new boa-shaped hats with
their odd curled brims and their clusters
of cocks feathers set ~jauntily to the side.
A very good go-between hat, neither
overpoweringly severe nor utterly friv-
olous, is a toque Of white satin straw in
terwoven with black chenille. 1t turns
up in front where a cluster of black os-
trich tips are clasped in the embrace of
a paste buckle. At the back a few dead
! white gardenias are laid against the hair.
A vagary Of the man-milliner suffi-
GENTLY absurd is the decorated quill,
which covers itself with polka dots, golf
sticks. ennis rackets OF anything else
whimsical n impossible.
The prettiest travelling dress I have
| seen in months violated nearly all the
maxims hereinbef0re i~noculated. OF
