Made Short.
 To be we'll dressed is so essential to
 ones complete comfort, and one espe- | ciaiIy feels this when crossing the ocean: Every week people are coming up to town to see friends off, and it naturally reminds one of the clothes | they needs must wear. The most un- | conscious person in the world is the
 one who has that sense of being ab- solutely comme il faut in small as well as large particulars, and to be uncon- scious of ones self is to be delight to l others, both as companion and as a | joy to look at.
 l No woman ever could scamp" her dressing and achieve this result. It is impossible She dresses calmly and with
 care-and long mirror into which she
 looks, not merely stands before-and
 when she issues forth cap-a-pie from 1 her dressing rom she feels completely able to ignore passing mirrors and to l forget her clothes. One never catches
 women such as she fumbling with their belts at the back and with opened packets, or rearranging collar or veil in the street car.
 I In dressing for the ocean voyage the great thing is not to look new" Clothes that have already been worn a bit are a vast deal more comfortable,
 and look so. The travelling gown par
 excellence will clear the ground by an | inch and a half, not being really short, and q trotting skirt will be of great use- I fuIness to wear about the deck, one that does not expose over-much stock ing in the steamer chair, and three 1 quarter coat to wear over it and the wash blouse is good bit smarter than
 8 cape.
 The usefulness of a hooded cape, however, is marked on the horrid days l when one falls a victim to an attack of nal de mer not severe enough to pin
 one down below, but just i'll enough so that one hates any one who looks we'll
 and happy. Into the hood of ones cape, l then, one can retire and play possuna" when that dull person approaches who has "orossed forty-three times and nev-
 CT been sick day"
 l 4 toaue developed in pretty cloth | without any angles and yet smart of I outline is usually more becoming to l face not youthful than the wide brim- I med felt, and is awfully comfortable when lounging. Such pretty toque l was made for traveller lately of grace I ful folds of black cloth, with a clever chou of turquoise blue velvet in front Let me say that that pretty and clever chou-worked around to the side during the process of a nap-was not @ whit less smart or becoming.
 Time was when a steamer rug was an English one of sober black, gray and white, with perhaps red knot appear ing occasionally; now these sombre wrappings are considered depressing, and the gay Scotch fabrice are in great CT vogue. One with a vivid brilliant brown and white, with stripes of light
 blue, has it's reverse side of chicks of
 blue, green and white, with the heavy fringes of all the colors.
 A great cape, bearing an ultra smart
 English name upon the makers tag, is of three quarters length, of a material of gray and green and black fine stripes,
 with the lining a gay plaid cloth of blue and green. The fringe of all the edges is of a mixture of these colors. Down the front are wide shawl revers of the plaid, fringed, and held back by round brass buttons. The hood is of plaid, as is also the small collar.
 Another cape of immense chic is on the outside of soft, demure gray and black plaid, with the inner side of a red and soft sage green plaid. The hood is plain red with turned up edges all about it of plaid and strappings of plain red trim the cape. Large silver buttons are an added charm.
 Nothing can well be more smart than the very light pigskin English bag and dressing case and hat box with brass trimmings. unless it be the black wall
 rus leather travelling accoutrements
 with brass trimmings. The willow trunk with covering of black canvas
 heavily bound with leather and with
 heavy mountains adds to the owners joy, as she gazes upon her pile of lug gage, by it's complete comme il fautness
 Steamer trunks are made after this
 model, and they are lighter in weight and very durable. The huge round-top trunk, the Saratoga, is q thing of the past.
 If beside the walrus skin or the pig skin belongings is an English satchel of
 straw, and shawl strap bundle of gay
 steamer rugs, ones baggage will have
