Hats for Long Tours.
Women preparing long automobile tours
realize that 1t Is impossible to either wear
or to carry an elaborate hat. Accord
ingly they select one of the most practl-
cal type, relying upon the enveloping ven
for ornament. The rule to be observed
in selecting a motor hat is to have 1t as
small as can be becomingly worn, ana OF
a color to harmonic with the coat ana
preferably trimmed with matching mater
ial, as may we'll be done In the case of
crepe de chine, pongee, tafeta or satin.
Some of the nattiest Of the recently de-
signed motor caps have straw or cnlp
brims and crowns of material ike the
coat, the band trimmings OF Kid leather
or satin harmonizing with the coat trim
mings. The fat turban Is still exceed,
ingly popular; the modified cowboy
promised to be much worn py tne YOUNG
women and there Is quite wide hat
whose crown sets so tightly TO the head
and whose brim dips so gracefully that
veil may be drawn over 1t with pleas
ing effect.
Automobile Veil Fads.

or net veil shapes II to the brtm or the
hat The bottom is shirred with an
other hem run with ribbon, and this Is
tied in a big bow which falls In long
loops and ends well down onto the skft.
This arrangement gives the veil bag
gfng effect which at the moment is con-
sidered tremendously swagger. AS the
days grow warmer women who STUDY the
effects Of veilings from purely u.
tartan standpoint are likely to SUBSTITUTE
chiffon for the English mesh nets. These
let In more air and are exceedingly be-
coming to the complexion, especially In
white. The browns are good. too; they
preserve the cuticle from sunburn more
than those OF any other color.
washable Motoring veilings.
II the tour is to be a protracted one
II is not only advisable for the fair
motortst to provide herself with gen.
erous supply of wells but with fabrics
which will withstand water. One Oh
these is the washable chiffon cloth veil
ing which comes in lengths Of a yard
and a half to three yards, and has hem
stitched edges Another Is the white and
pale tinted Russian net, which, when
made up with embroidered net borders.
gives the wearer a bridelike appearance.
They are almost as elaborate as the more
costly wells of silk chiffon with nand-

which, however, are considered none too
handsome to be worn with practical
cape coat or rubberized mohair or satin.
Flexible Wrist Gauntlet Gloves.
The fair motorist who intends to take
her turn at the wheel will do well to
provide herself with pair Of the new
flexible wrist gauntlet gloves with an ex-
tension cuff measuring fully six inches
from the base of the thumb to the
stitched edge. It is secured at the wrist
by strap and fastener, and as the en-
tire glove is without lining 1t Is ex-
ceedingly flexible and leaves the hand
as though perfectly free. Another type
of glove greatly In favor with automo-
bilists who study comfort while touring
is the washable white and natural tone
chamois, which Is to be had In mousque-
taire and button styles, and may be as
readily washed as is a pocket hand
kerchief.
Touring Frocks.
The frock to be worn beneath the mo-
toring coat deserves quite as much
thought as the outergarment, in that 1t
will be In evidence at the inns where
luncheons are taken and should there
fore be pretty and becoming. although
not of a character to show the wear and
tear of travel. Large pattern black taf-
