IT HE latest cry for summer is the
linen gown for nearly all pur-
purposes. Never before has the
smart and serviceable linen gown
had such a vogue and appeared IN such
attractive forms end colors.
Linen gowns are made without Innings
and invariably cut short. So popular
are they that they take the place Of
gowns of other materials for travelling
wear. even white linen gowns being
now worn as travelling fToCks. made
simply. Of course. and with hats. gloves.
and shoes suitable for travelling pur-
poses.
Most fashionable for travelling, how
ever. are gowns of neutral tinted linen,
such as tan color. in several shades;
blues. grays. and quiet shades of colOrs
that appear in morning gowns in lighter
and brighter hueS.
The linen travelling gown takes the
place of soft silks and those thin wool
en- materials which have hitherto been
the correct thing for summer travelling.
Needless TO say. one OF the values of the
linen travelling gown lies in the fact
that II may ne dropped into the tub at
the end OF tie journey and made fresh
for another t-,p This gown. too. is
cooler than gowns of even thin wool
can be and.~in the less heavy qualities
Of linen. the gown is cooler than silk.
Reucules with linen covers to match
the gown are smart accessories of the
travelling and street gown OF linen.
There are any number Of weights and
qualities Of linen. so that a woman may
wear an inexpensive or a costly gown,
and stiu have il about the same weight
and made In the same fashion.
The comfort of the linen gown is such
that women who can afford a number OF
them wear them TO the exclusion Of fou,
lards and other materials which require
Innings.
The linen gown is practically an
American creation, just as the dainty
petticoat IS almost a distinctly Ameri-
cnn garment. Women abroad do not
have enough weather in which washa-
bic gowns may be worn to make il
worth while % own them. Few linen
gowns are seen across the water for this
reason. and we are the envy of our
continental sisters. because we always
look so cool and fresh in our smartly
made wash linens.
Shades OF pink. blue and mauve color
are not worn for travelling purposes
for two reasons; first. they are apt tC
become very s1iled and the hard laun-
dering necessary to cleanse them is apt
Go tnJure their CCloring; next, they are
rot sufficiently quiet colors in which
to travel, except where dark blues are
concerned, and mauve which is merely
suggested in some gray material.
