New York.-Of course you are {,
take vacation soon, which means
that some suitable clothes must b,
provided.
A number Of things must first b(
settled upon before the clothes are
chosen. Will the vacation be spent
among friends where there will be
a number of little parties, rides, gar
den fetes, etc, or Is IL to one OF the
little country places where you know
no one, where you wish to relax and
wear the least fussy things and lie
in a hammock the best part OF the
day that you may get rested up for
| another years work, or are you to
take a long railroad ride, or go by
boat or automobile? All these things
must be decided as they should have
weight in the selection of clothes.
There is no place in which one
shows her possession or lack of cul-
ture, good breeding, taste in dress
and general self control 80 much as
in her manner, mode, accoutrements
of travelling. The mere travelling
dress is not all of the qualifications.
Beside the dress one should have
those various little belongings which
add so much to our comfort, and be-
cause of our comfort aid us in keep
ing our equanimity of spirit and good
humor, in sort, our good manners.
Selection Is Fine Art.
People who have Travelled much
know these requisites and have so
learned the ropes that they have
brought to a fine art what to elm
nate and what must of necessity be
carried by them.

lem for while the tailor is making

tune suitable for a serge-one of the |
new soft lightweight sort that makes
SO appropriate a material for the sea
voyage, or 1t may be developed from
a rough Shantung of good texture
which would be lighter for a train
Journey. For the serge no color
popular just now for such gowns, and
he same color Is good for the silk,

show the dust less and be eqally as
ierviceable.
