NOW that vacation time approaches
the heart begins to long for lit
tie journey and the mind busies
itself with preparing the way. Travel
ing IN America ought to be a pleasure,
and is, to those who know how to
make the most OF all our modern
travelling conveniences, writes julia
Bottomley in the illustrated Milliner.
What with parlor cars, dining cars
and sleeping cars, good ventilation,
dust-shielded windows, comfortable
chairs and competent service. a jour
ney is a recreation and rest. People
no longer burden themselves with a
lot of luggage, but think out how they
may get along with as little MS pos
sible. This is especially true If the
trip is to be a long one and sight
seeing its object.
The first thing that engages the
mind of the feminine traveller is, Of
course, the matter Of her travelling
costume and this article will concern
Itself with something Of that.
Although we rant garb ourselves
like Miss Phoebe Snow, all clad in
wliie, ETC." we can count upon rs
little dust on our journey as on the
average shopping excursion. Our
millinery is thoroughly protected, be-
cause paper bags are provided by the
porter and hats consigned TO the rack
from start to finish of the average
trip. No dust can reach them.
For travelling, a plain, well-tailored
cloth gown of serge, mohair, covert
cloth, fancy suiting or other hard

The MannIsh Blouse.

The mannish blouse is not to be
dispensed with in the wardrobe OF the
well-dressed girl. It is we'll to have
some of silk. and remember that it IS
economy in the end to get a good
quality. Get a china silk that is really
good and It will outlast three shirts
in an inferior quality. There is an
excellent variety that comes at y1.26

nniShed fabric, is the proper garb.
1t cannot be too plainly made and
must be well tailored-that is It must
have good lining and interlining and
be correctly fitted and finished. Such
a gown cannot be outclassed. The
fabric should be shrunk before It is
made up and II Is obviously better
to select a waterproofed material
than any other when buying. II cir
cumstances compel you to economize
on your outfit, remember that II is
economy to buy sood material for
your tailored dress ard to have II
made right.
1t goes without saying that the hat
should be pretty because all millinery
should be that. It should be large
enough to shade the eyes and small
enough to keep out of other peoples
way. II need not be severely plain,
and may even indulge in the charm
of flowers for a moderate amount of
travelling. 1t must have style. Three
fine examples are given here of street
hats suited to this purpose.
Street shoes and gloves made for
service and well fitted are in keep
ing with gown and hat. Tan is the
best color and one may wear a veil
to match and carry a bag of the same
useful and bright color.
The shirtwaist or blouse may be
either Of silk or a wash material. A
lightweight silk is most economical
for long journeys. Fresh jabots and
stock collars make IL possible to look
immaculate at the end of the journey.

the English, possibly more than any
