cases the various articles are fitted
with ebony handles and tops, on ac-
count of this wood being so much light

a journey and looks most unsightly

silver and gold initial letters are placed

comparatively inexpensive cases they

This summer the packing of the fem
mime wardrobe seemed a hopeless task
with its distractingly squashabIe and
frivolous belongings until a philanthro-
pist in the form of a trunk designer
saved the day, or. rather, dress, by in
venting a closet trunk This remark

Since we have veered around to the
interesting subject of blouse waists
praise must be given our Partisan
cousins for their skill in making dainty
lingerie blouses, which this summer are
more exquisite than ever.
Fine linen, lawn, net and lace COM

leading features of these waists. The

lie in the cut. They give a wide, broad

does not extend beyond the shoulders

light and handsome in appearance fit

down, opens or closes the case.
Talking of suit cases reminds me Of
a scheme devised by a woman who
spends much of her time on ocean
steamers. She finds it much easier to
carry suit case and large telescope
bag and to dispense with the steamer
trunk. Shore clothes are put into the
suit case, and the telescope is sepa-
rated, and the two parts are placed
under the berth to act as drawers. In
one side the deck clothes are kent and
in the other half nightclothes by dav
and day ones by night. In this tele-
scope stocks and collars may also be

eler advances is that OF hanging the
shore hat in a roomy bag and suspend

are most getatabIe when kept in a
pocket on the wall
A great deal of the difficulty of pack
ing and the fatigue of travelling can be
done away with If one has at hand

packing an ordinary trunk many a
backache is spared if the trunk is

Speaking of Partisan streets, they
are in no sense dress parades. The
true Partisan keeps her sartorial tri-
unphs for home wear or to exhibit at
the houses of her friends or for the
afternoon drive, but not for walking.
Therefore to see how Paris frocks her
self one must have the entree to
smart atelier or, better still, an open
sesame to some of the many ciques
into which society at the gay capital is
divided. On the other hand. it is Gu
riOus to note how rarely women in the

ally speaking, the smartness Of a cos
tune was to be found in the hat, which
was invariably covered with flowers.
The summer chapeaux are eccentric
rather than becoming, but with rare
exceptions they are artistic, even
though the coloring only is to be class

dresses smooth is to fasten four rows
of hook eyes in the inner side of the

pin it to the tape with safety pins.

Violet in several shades is one of the
popular coIors, and it is a rather useful
one at this time of the year for bright

touch of violet is seen on hats, at the
neck and at the waist. A strong shade
of purple is very becoming to some
people and equally unbecoming to 9TH
ers.
