Capes and Rugs Match.
Women who go to sea wear golf capes to
match their serge or tweed deck suits, and
often enough the tailor turns out their
rugs and pillows to match well. 1t Is
noticeable that not one woman in ten, who
has recently gone pleasuring by sea or
land. has worn a short skirt. The modist
travelling dress is made to barely escape the
floor, and some Of them require lift in the
rear when the deck, street or roadway is
anything but immaculate. Very, very
fashionable women do not wear golf capeS
at all when voyaging, for doing In a
steamer chair or pacing the deck, a long,
skirted, shapeleSs sort of double-breaSted
ulster Of checked covert is the thing. This
has pockets, Is rain proof, is provided with
a tall collar and a silk-lned hood, and is
rather expensive.
The shoe to travel in is calf skin, and a
number of women order these stout boots
especially made with a dampproof silk
lining. Thus reinforced no overshoe is
necessary, which obviates a deal of annoy
ance, and beside it is so jolly independent
and English to tramp the sloppy street or
deck without the least thought of ones
goloSheS!
The Dainty Extras.
With excellent forethought the manufac-
turers have brought out a quantity of new
neckwear that exactly meets the travellers
needs. The best of it is the wash neckte,
made of gngham lawn, pongee, etc. Some
of the sweetest of these are Of eXquisitely
silky, fine white dimity hemstitched with
pale blue, lilac or green dimity edges.
Others, more serviceable are of fine soft
u1ai6 bingham wit bemSfitcth he'd edppS N
a solid color, or of solid blue, green
gingham with plaid hens. There is a no
ticeable absence everywhere Of anything
stiff or starchy in neckwear and the lace
scarfs have come more and more to replace
the tall, hard stocks of satin and taffeta
Not by any means does the severity of
travelling dress destroy the natural femi-
nine impulse toward chlffons, while trans
parent foulard has reached par so far as
popularity is concerned. 1t is regarded as
the most exquisite thing for afternoon
frocks Its surface is that of a satin fou-
lard and it's color design is the same but
in weight it is hardly more than liberty
silk. The decorative adjuncts to this deli
cate goods are fiat laces and baby velvet
ribbon and occasional touches of chiffon
or silk muslin. One Interesting feature of
the calling and garden party gowns for the
country is the elaborate use of big lace
flowers on their waists and skirts, and on
the hats that are worn with them One
very gorgeous costume made for Mrs.
George Gould displayed upon the shoul-
ders knot OF lace roses half as large as
American beauties. The heart of each rose
wa>White liberty gauZe cut in small petals
About this We're grouped many large petals
of very beautiful tea-colored net lace In
visible white wire was ~used to hold the
petals about the center and the stems and
foliage were carried out with an exquisite
elaboration and attention to detail A big
wreath of these roses garnished the wide
blue tulle hat that was constructed espe-
cially for use with the gown.
