With the very first day of summer
bringing discomfort and oftentimes dis
content to the heart of the woman who,
for one reason or another, must spend
her summer in town, comes the happy
thought of those delightful weekend trips
to some quiet country village, the noun
tains or the seashore-it makes little diff
ference where, for the prospect of any
one is alluring.
Just what one Is to take In the way
of clothing on these short journeys-what
will be most appropriate and withal the
least trouble-this is the question which
agitates the mind. 'Truly, 1t is quite
distracting at times" says one little lady.
But there Is no reason why 1t should
be, If one would but stop for moment
to consider the matter sanely. Fashion
sets no hard and fast rules but demands
only that one be dressed smartly and
practically and BETTING the occasion
Having settled upon the prospective
destination, the climate and possible So
cial obligations which such a vacation
entails, the mattHr of appropriate cloth
ing Is then easily decided upon.
The old-fashione1 and very mistaken
idea that "anything q practically is good
enough for the journey is fast dying out,
and one now arrives at the journeys end
smartly logged in chic tailor-made of
summer worsted or mohair-the latter Is
emlnently suited for travelling, being light
in weight and dust-repelling-a credit to
ones self and compliment to ones
hostess Every woman owes 1t to herself
to make as good an appearance as posi-
BILE at all times, and though clothes do
not necessarily make the woman they go
a long way toward a favorable impress
sion.
When a house party is the occasion of
one of these weekend trips, one takes
along a varied but limited wardrobe. 1t
is never well TO take more than two suit
cases or portmanteau-the latter to be
preferred. Always confne the luggage
to the smallest possible proportions. A
trunk is simply out of the question In
most instances.
On such an occasion a very careful
selection of the wardrobe limits 1t to the
tailored suit and natty accessories worn
en- route, an extra shirtwast for the re-
turn journey to town, an outing waist
there may be tennis or golfng where you
are going-a dainty lingerie frock for
dinner and dancing, and pretty negligee,
with, of course, the attendant accessories
such as neckwear, gloves, shoes, belts
and one hat, ribbon trimmed lingerie
or a flower wreathed straw. A pretty
lingerie or net waist may also be tucked
In to take the place of the palmer waist
when the occasion demands something a
little dressier than the tailored shirt
waist.
Where the hotel or boarding house ends
ones journey there are seldom any social
obligations. and ones time Is spent in
rest and quiet enjoyment. In this case
the wardrobe can be curtailed to a
change of waists. negligee, fresh lin
gerle and toilette articles.
