ious motorists select the right-shaped

yer plate The basket illustrated provides
for a party of four people. and besides
the knives, forks and spoons, the plates
and napkins, there are cups and saucers,
sealed TASKS for liquids receptacles for
sugar, tea. etc, and an alright box for
sandwiches.
Refrigerator baskets are another lux
ury appreciated by the convivial motor
ist. The refrigerator basket is lined with
galvanized metal. and one end is par
titioned off to hold a good-sized piece of
ice. Salads will keep fresh and crisp in
one of these baskets for many hours, and
when the picnic ground is reached ana
the edibles are set forth gayly on the
orator basket will serve its turn in the
drinkables. Fishermen, especially. like
these baskets, in which--after the lunch
con has been enjoyed-the days eaten
may be packed and kept in ice security.
The vacuum bottles in which one S
favorite beverage may be kept at Doll
ing or freezing point ready for instant
enjoyment when thirst impels make still
another addition to the motorists COM
fort. In fact in view of all the easy
ways provided for carrying refreshments
awheel it seems surprising how frequent
the way.
Speaking of motor car belongings, one
must not overlook the cunning little
flower vases which come already TO hand
in limousine or tonneau. THESE little
vases are in the form of glass cornu-
ccpias. some just big enough to hold a
single carnation and a few drops of
water, others made for a cluster OF
volets. nasturtiums or sweet peas. The
cornucopias are set into metal rings at

now when glorious spin across country
is concerned?
Ingenuity on the part of the makers of
motor belongings has managed to incor-
togs as much of smartness and attract
ivenesS as possible Even the wellnigh
hopeless goggles are built to show as
much as may be of pretty eyes and faces
behind their masklike barrier. some of
the French goggles showing quite a siza-
BILE window of isinglass surrounded by
narrow rim of leather. Three styles of
goggles are shown. two views being given
of favorite adjustable style which has
little side windows which may be lifted
lower pair of goggles are intended for
warm weather wear and are built Of light
silk with isinglass windows. The upper
goggles are substantial affairs of riveted
leather and are intended for long tours
in severe weather. These goggles protect
the ears. nose and mouth as we'll as the
eyes, provision being made for breathing.
Frenchwomen take much more kindly
to goggles than fair American motorists.
For one thing, long tours awheel are less
the fad in America, and usually the
heavy veil affords all the protection
can woman has leaning toward pretti
ness in attire and cannot rise to the point
of sacrificing it altogether in the sub
lime and complacent consciousness that
she is entirely chic. The hundreds of
ingenious French motoring hoods and
wells provided with shir-strings. snap
buttons, isinglass peep-holes and funny
little curtains to drop over the face
do not appeal to the American, and these
expensive contraptions usually go a-beg-
ging in the shops that have imported
them.
Many new conceits in chiffon automO-
bile wells are continually springng up:

their brilliant coats of scarlet. blue and
other colors flashing by in the joyous
spring sunshine.
The folk in the cars. too. are spic and
span in the splendor OF new automobile
raiment. The befurred and beswaddled
images of the winter months have given
place to human things in natty motor
coats and wraps, and soft colored chif-
fons of summertime once more stream
like homecoming pennants in the rear Of
the tonneaux.
The shops are ready with a tempting
array OF midsummer motor togs-cool
linen coats and lovely silken wraps-but
the fair motorist wisely passes these by
just now and selects for immediate wear
a smartly cut cheviot or tweed topcoat
sufficiently warm to be comfortable after
the deceitful spring sun has gone down.
Evening star., 1909-04-24

chiffon cloth has not yet found a formi-
dable rival in feminine favor. Wells like
this are easy to tie over the hat and
they may also be twisted in scarf fashion
around the throat. or draped loosely
over the arm. They fold up easily. too,
and are not as apt to become badly
crumpled in pocket Or handbag as the
elaborately made veil
The double chiffon veil is the newest
fad, one layer of chiffon being placed
over the other and the veil being joined
along the edges, the two tints blending
softly together. A gray veil over rose
pink one makes a becoming combination.
One of lavender over pale blue is also
pretty. A daring blonde was seen in
vivid blue veil laid ever veil
was not unbecoming to her faultless COM
plexion. Sometimes the under veil is in
mesh effect. the square Russian mesh
in gray having a particularly soft and
becoming effect over the skin when yelled
with chiffon in rose or some other light
one wears the more protection there is
from dust.
In made-up chiffon veils-whicf means
wells ready to be adjusted over hat or
hair-one of the most desirable of the
new styles is most simply fashioned.
Three yards OF double width chiffon
form the veil. and this chiffon is slashed
up the center fold to within three
quarters of a yard of one end. Both
edges of the slash and the adjoining
ends are hemmed by hand with a tiny
length is the portion of the veil which
goes over the face and hat. the long
hemmed ends going around beneath the
chin, crossing at the back and coming

of course. the idea is repeated in motor
raiment. A coat of white linen in the
rather coarse ramie mesh is shown
among today's illustrations, and the fea-
ture OF this garment is the trimming of
black satin buttons which outline the
Tapped seams The cut of this coat is
particularly graceful and lends slender
ness to the figure without defining it in
any way.
Many of the new linen coats are so
pretty that they will be bought by wom-
en- who never expect to wear them in
motor cars, but will don them for travel
ing wear over thin dresses, or for general
outing wear. Some of these linen coats
are in solid colors strapped with bias
striped linen in the same shade: others
are of striped linen in two-tone effect,
with collar. cuff and pocket facings of
plain linen.

injured and killed off their hair before
passing middle age. and as result they
wore false hair. dyed any color they pre-
ferred in order to match any particular
costume.
The Moorish women use antimony to
blacken their eyelds. and use silver bod
kin blackened with the smoke of franklin
cense with which to pencil their eye

Ovid. great Roman poet and pest to the
youthful student Of Latin verse, once
wrote a poem to the art of makeup as
practiced by the women of Rome in his
generation. In his poem is the oldest
authentic receipt for a face wash. Here
it is: Lily roots yolk of eggs, hartshorn.

Useful Little Cape

runabout in which she drives to the
golf club or rolls about town on pleasant
afternoons there are delectable motor
coats of pOngee and satin which may be
slipped on over dainty l4-gerie frocks
and light costumes.
Two very pretty wraps of this sort are
shown in the out-of-door picture; one OF
natural pongee with loose sleeves and
trimmings of crochet buttons and cord
loops; the other also of silk. with an
odd cape-like border Of Persian silk,
somewhat like the patterns seen on old
fashioned Paisley shawls. This coat is
lined with the gay Persian patterned
silk and is altogether one of the most
modish and fetching examples of up-to-
date automobile raiment for summer wear.
With wrap of this sort slipped on
over a light summer frock one wears
an ordinary dressy hat, covered, for the
brief journey in the car, by a veil in
Evening star., 1909-04-24

some light color. like pale apricot wis
taria or ciel blue.
For real touring wear, of course, a
more practical hat is required, and sew
eral styles are pictured. The becoming
little straw bonnet. worn with the
checked topcoat above referred to. rather
suggests the dignified DANES of early
French history. who affected cornucopia
crowns a yard long at the back of their
headgear and over these draped sweeping
wells. This clever little bonnet. how
ever. has only the tiniest cornucopia
crown, and the veil, fastened around
lower portion of this veil is slashed up
half way through the center. forming two
long ends, which, when the chiffon is
dropped over the face, may be twisted

THE art of makeup, as practiced
nowadays, is not a modern inven-
. ton of our effete civilization. 1t
began even before the ancient and hon.
orable art of dressmaking, for women
made up their faces with crude cosmetics
long before there was any attempt to
wear even the scantiest clothing.
So makeup was an art much cultivated
by mankind when they were tree-dwell-
ers and went head-hunting for a pastime
and as path to glory and renown.
However. makeup was very crude, in
deed then as compared with latter CEN
turies. For instance, makeup was per-
haps at the height of its success in the
days of Egypt about the time of Cleo
patra.

make conquest Of Jehu. She must have
put her makeup on too hurriedly. for
Jehu had her thrown out of the window.
where the scavenger dogs of the Orient
devoured her. Jezebel is said to have
used antimony with which to blacken
her eyelids.
Then there was Judith. another lady of
biblical extraction. She is related to have
bathed and perfumed herself and wrapped
herself in a long veil before she went
to her classic interview with Holofernes,
which Is related to have cost this gentle
man his life.
The Roman men and women were de-
voted to the art of makeup as they un-
derstood 1T. They dyed their hair red,

erations of practicabilty rather than of
attractiveness have marked the raiment
prepared for motoring wear: and this
consideration extends to the sleast detail
of motor acknowledgement to those for
feminine use.
No woman able to drive a laundering
touring car against furious wind cares
a whit how big her hands may look,
land as they are warmly protected in
gloves that do not interfere with her grip
on the wheel. What woman. ten years
ago would have thought of tying her
hat down over her ears in old grannitied
fashion by means of stout berege veil?
Yet what woman hesitates to do the same

round in front again to tie in a secure
bow. The upper edge of the veil is
gathered up by shir-thread aud secured
under covered button which may be
pinned i'm jiffy to the top of the hat,
the veil falling easily over the hat brim
and hair all around.
For the motorists inner man-and

the least of which is the conveniently

fifty to a hundred and fifty dollars, ac-
cording to the character of equipment.

veil matches the fine straw of the brim
very daintily. this queer headgear has
actually certain smartness when worn
with "a motor coat of assured snap and
style.
Old Boreas wages merry war against
the habiliments of the motor maid but
il is old Pluvius who really causes her
the most acute concern. Soaking wet
garments are always unpleasant, but they
are apt to be especially SO when one is
beaten upon at the same time by chilly
and persistent wind. Many are the con-
trivances for keeping out the wet, and
with the arrival of each new season
something better in the way of water
proof motor garb is brought forward.
Mohair is now rubberized as we'll as
silk, and coats of both material are
shown the rubberized silk coat being in
a shepherd check pattern, with tapering
sleeves to slip beneath the wrists or
leather gauntlets, and double-breasted
front buttoning securely to the wearers
throat.

These capes come in various attractive

them doubly attractive. They are soft

compactly and tucked away in the small
est crevice in bag or suit case, SO that
they make excellent travelling companions

For very wet days there are leather

course, sheds the water like the pro-

effects have been seen. The rather large
checks are the favorites, and. while
trf1e sporty in suggestion to the woman
of quiet taste. these block check topcoats
are undeniably youthful and snappy in
appearance. A new shepherd check tweed
coat is shown, and the cut and style of
this garment are authoritatively up to
the last minute of smart motor require
ments. The coat hangs with almost bag
like looseness from the shoulders, yet is
given graceful swing by the sloping
side seams. Tapped and buttoned at the
bottom. The buttons are large covered
affairs trimmed with black velvet, and
they trim cuffs and pocket as well as
fastening the double breasted front OF
the coat. The big storm collar buttons
back against the coat when not turned
up about the throat. and narrow facing
of black velvet makes an effective finish
at the neck.
For the woman who desires something
less conspicuous than block checks there
are coats of mannish mixtures and neu-
trail colored serges and camel's hair chew
lots. These coats are all cut on loose,
hipless lines, with tapping side seams and
fronts, closing high at the neck as
protection from rain and dust.
In some OF the luxurious cars that
crunch along the shell road at Palm
Beach were women who wore over their
delicate gowns stunning topcoats Of white
serge. These coats were donned also
on the piazza and in the gardens on
chilly days. They were very simply cut,
with slender, faultless lines. and some
times a black velvet collar was matched
by large cut jet buttons.

Shepherd checks are having renewed
vogue among fashionable folk this sea-
son, and many very handsome motor
coats in the neat black and white block
