travelling suits. Such a skirt is becoming
even to a woman who is blessed with en-
bonpoint, If use is made of the hip yoke.
A stylish travelling suit is of black and
white check silk. The skirt has a hip yoke
running down to a slight point in the front.
The skirt is pleated below this. A simple
shirt waist of the checked silk and a short
round jacket of black taffeta is worn with
this.
The travelling hat is important, for IL
may make or mar the costume. The days
are past when an old hat was considered
plenty good enough for travelling" The
smartest millinery shops are filled with
hats designed exclusively for use with a
travelling toilette. They are simple, but
they have a style all their own.
Panama hats in the crush shapes that
were popular last year are still correct for
travelling wear. They are trimmed with
scarfs Of Indian muslin, loosely tied about
the crown. Scarfs of coarse weave netting
OF dull green, red, blue or tan are also
stylish.
The stitched linen hat has come into UNI
expected prominence. To the woman who
desires to be exclusive, it has the charm
OF being made to order to suit each cos
tune. When worn with a linen travelling
suit it is bound with the same material
which is used for the suit strapping.
If these simpler models do not suit any
individual woman, she has a wide range of
more elaborate h~eadgear from which to
choose. But she must see to it that her
choice does not violate the rules of travel.
ing simplicity. ToQues and turban effects
are the most practical. Flowers and
plumes must be avoided, and ribbons and
quilts form the only trimmings. Cham
payne and ecru are favorite colors in
straw.
Made hats are much in favor with women
of fashion, A stylish travelling toque is OF
black and white chrysanthemum straw. A
Nat bow of the straw mixed with black
velvet ribbon ornaments the left side.

Isg167Sa there is something more substan-

trills and furbelows. The picturesque hat,
the dainty white lace coat, and the hlmy
summer dress are sadly out of place for
even a journey of a few hours.
a long coat will cover a multitude of
sins and, therefore, will be in favor for
either a short or a long Journey. In the
choice Of fabric care should be taken to
choose that which will not show dust and
which may be readily cleaned. Unless a
sea voyage is contemplated, lightweight
coats will be found most serviceable, aid
rainproof materials will be invaluable.
The waterproof garment will he the
favorite for travelling with many women.
Besides the cravenette raincoat, the old
fashioned waterproof is to be seen, but 1t
is unlike the dingy chrysalis which once
bore that name. The up-to-date water
proof has a silky finish and is almost as
gaily colored as the wings Of a butterfly.
All the tartan plaids and many other plaids
and stripes are obtainable. Some are made
with hoods, others with military capes.
The majority are trimmed with bands of
solid color. A brown and white plaid.
trimmed with n broad band OF brown both
down the front and as a finish for the
triple shoulder capes, makes a stylish
travelling garment. Then there are silk
coats lined with rubber, which are both
dressy and serviceable.
Pongee and other light linen colored
fabrics are most suitable for the long coats,
whether full length or three-quarters. Most
OF them are loose affairs. belted in at the
waist for the sake OF freedom Of motion.
Their studied simplicity is in striking con-
trast to the pongee dress coats. Lace and
embroideries are entirely out OF place on
the travelling coat, and stitched bands of
the same or contrasting colors. or colored
pipings, are the only suitable trimmings.
One loose pongee travelling and coaching
coat has medium sized black velvet but
tons and a deep turnover collar and GUNS
OF black velvet. The contrast between
the silky pOngee and the dull tone of the
velvet is striking.
