 BY ". HAMILTON RHODES. London, June I2.--Last year the Cum ard Company inaugurated an arrange ment whereby passengers landisg from their steamers at Liverpool were able to continue the journey to London by motor car. or. if they wished, com mence an automobile tour throughout | Great Britain. The notion, 1t was rightly divined, was one that would more especially appeal to American visitors. This year the White Star Line is carrying the idea a stage further. 1t is announced that not only at Liv- erpool, but at Queenstown, Plymouth, | Cherbourg. or Southampton, the trav- eler arriving from America can, by ar rangement. find a car of the type he | desires awaiting him. and ready to I take him to any place or places he | chooses. He can do" Ireland, Eng I land and Scotland, or the Continent, | by motor, as fancy pleases, and 1t is | not seen necessary for him to give d. rections before his vessel sails for Eu- rope. A wireless message dispatched | from mid-ocean will assure the pres- ence of the automobile at the place of | landing.
 1 The fact that some of the White Star l liners call at Cherbourg will enable the
 passenger to select that port as the | point of departure for long conti- | mental turn if he wishes. But the White Star Line Is already deprived
 of all chance of a monopoly by the intimation that the French Trans-At- lantic Company have motor-ca
 scheme of their own in hand. They propose to give passengers arriving
 at Havre from New York an opportun- | rto v automobile. and as the route runs along the pie-
 turesque banks of the Seine and
 through Rouen the opportunity Is like ly to be largely utilized. The run1will l probably not take more than five
 hours.
 The cunard Company have, 1t ap- l pears. every intention of continuing g their motor arrangements this season, from which it may be inferred that
 the notion has not only caught on, but
 that it has a useful business aspect. | Another venture in the same direction
 is it is announced. to be set afoot oy Sir Alfred Jones in connection with
 the Imperial Direct West lndia Mall | Service The Steamers running In this

 At the seashOre.
 few days of warm weather have | proved a boon to the seaside girl. for | all the latest fashions in bathing gowns have suddenly put in an early appearance. Bathing costumes will be | even more elaborate this season, if pos 1 sible. than summer frocks, and experts
 have discovered that modern women
 require educating in the art Of sea
 fashions. A West End modiste, who
 is making a special feature of artistic
 bathing gowns, explained the latest
 modes yesterday.
 There is one noticeable change in
 sea fashions" she said. While cou- | pie of years ago one blue serge cos tune was considered good enough for | the seaside, the up-to-date woman will l not find half a dczen bathing gowns | l eral elaborate silk costumes for sunny | days the more substantial garment for a big sea, the early morning dip cos- l tune, and the neat jersey gown to
 wear for deep-sea swimming. The | most popular costumes Will be the Princes and the Directoire gown.
 "The Directoire is a neat, closely-fit- ting costume, giving the short-waisted | effect, fastening down the left side,
 with a closely fitting sleeve and ht- | tie turn-down collar. It looks remark ably we'll made of black silk and worn | with a brilliant scarlet or old rose mobcap. These Directoire gowns are also being made inRthe pale shades A beautiful example is made of azure blue silk. embroidered with little true | lovers knots in chestnut brown. A tie of brown. a brown silk mob -cap tied with azure ribbons. blue stockings and long brown boots lined with blue, and laced with brown ribbon give the fn7 ishing touches.
 | "The Princess dress is made with a | shaped panel back and front. these panels being bordered with tiny but l tons. Novel little beach gowns will be worn this summer. They are intended for padding only, and are made of art colored linen. with short kilted skirts and tucked bodices. The neck Is fin- | ished with turn-dowh Puritan collar | and soft sailor-knot tie, and linen sun bonnets to match will be worn. Bath ing capes will replace bathing coats | to slip over the bathing gown to run from a house CT tent to the sea. They are circular capes made of blanket materials in pale pink. white or tur- | quoise blue"
