UGLY GARB
BANISHED
Women Now can Look as
Dainty in Motor Cars as on
Ballroom Floor

" VOW that the first soft vernai
bTeeZes are tempting US away
from asphalt pavements and
- long rows of houses, we feel
irresistible longings and sudden impulses
TO throw all engagements to the four
winds and glide away through tine sun
shine to where the spring IS lurking,
unwilling to leave her forests, but still
anxious to fill US with her rejuvenating
vigor
What shall we wear on this our jour
ney to meet the spring?
One almost gasps at the idea of meet
ing so dainty creature in motoring
apparel. Such timid god might well
be frightened away at the uncouth ap-
partitions that have been wont to speed
along the highways hitherto-clad, or
rather submerged, as they were, in evil
looking goggles, ungainly boots and
paw-hke gloves-all projecting from a
formless mass of coat, forbidding-lo look
ing and quite devoid of line, with a
weird face, something ike helmet-clad
deep-sea diver, protruding from beneath
nondescript headgear that has no equal
even in the dark ages.
Enter DoucetI
Motor clothes hitherto have served as
tile great leveler of womankind. Once
encased in their folds, every woman
could not help but look as repulsive as
her rival But now-O joyful day.
Doucet, Paquin and the lesser stars in
the dressmakerS' constellation have
designed TO touch their magic fingers 10
these grewsome garments and, behold !
the dainty, coy, youthful matron of
forty, stepping fluffy out of her car, a
picture that even young and gallant
spring need not be ashamed to meet.
If the WORKOUT society woman IS
wise she will now conduct all her con-
quests in her motor For At last she
has found a fountain of youth-at least,
as long as she will confine herself to
a motoring background The little bon
nets are wonders of art that, If chosen
with care and an eye to color, will
make even the most faded face look
voting. and will make any young face
absolutely irresistible Frilled, bedecked
with flowers and beribboned with float
ing, enveloping, silky scarfs, they are
too fascinating for words. This fact
alone would endeaT them forever to
womankind. But they have the further
decided advantage of being exceedingly
practical in spite of their apparent f1imsi-
ness and daintiness. There are soft,
beautiful, velvety feathers for damp
days; smooth, glossy straws, which can
be wiped with a damp cloth, for warm
days; Oriental draped scarfs to wear
with evening gowns, and any number
of varieties of capes and coats, either
plain or elaborate Best of all, there IS
now scope in ones motoring wardrobe
for that telling, individual touch, so
that woman once more can weld her
weapon Of personal charm which, for a
time, seemed to be entirely out OF her
reach as soon as she donnei her regu-
lation automobile attire. Or else, If she
declined to conform to the rules and in
sisted upon wearing comely afternoon
clothes when out on the highways, she
ran the risk of appearing trumpg and
English, Now, however, she can sat
isfyo all her most secret conoeits. She
can have her choice of bewitching, Tevo-
lutionary bOnnets that would be out OF
place anywhere but at a fancy-dresS ball
or IN car.
Need Infinite Care
Motor apparel IS in a distinct class by
itself and IS now no longer to be re-
garded lightly. One can spend as much
brain-racking thought and quite as
MANY sleepless nights over such an out
