hint at expectation Of an insistence
on longer visit-then by all means
put all you can into the suitcase, ex-
press 1t on ahead and carry smaller
belongings in a travelling bag. A New
y ork business woman who has many
friends and is certain of numer-
Gus pleasant weekend invitations
throughout the summer months, has
bought for herself a very large and
very heavy suitcase-"too heavy for
me to think of carrying" she ex-
plains, and so there is never any
temptation to save fifty or sixty cents
expressage. I send it on ahead, the
day before, and when I arrive, cool
and unfagged, with a smart travel
ing bag and parasol, my weekend
wardrobe is awaiting me. It is well
worth the trifing cost of expressage.' -
A Travelling Coat over a Pretty Frock.
The same clever little woman, when
she starts on a weekend visit, leaves
her good looking tailored two-piece
suit hanging on its rack in her closet
in town and sets forth in a neat and
inconspicuous travelling frock" of
dark-colored foulard, which is cool
and light and appropriate for wear
during her visit; while the tailored
suit would not possibly fill any need
but that of travelling.
In the country the smart little
foulard frock will answer for country
club or driving wear, protected by a
long motor coat of pOngee, linen or
mohair; and this coat may be carried
on the train and slipped on when nee
essary as a protection from dust or
chill. Very smart motor coats Of
rainproofed mohair, Of neutral gray
or the fashionable khaki brown color.

blue serge travelling and motor coats,
with black satin trimmings and bright
buttons, are also smart and practical
belongings for the woman who makes
little country visits without a large
supply of baggage.
Out of town social Iife-in small
communities and villa colonies, cen
ters in the country club, and here
the chief interest may be tennis, golf
or squash tournaments. or it may be
yacht racing and water sports. But
in any case on the afternoons when
any events at the club take place,
dainty costumes, charming hats. para
soils and all the other accessories of
garden fete are in orGer: and the
womaii planning for a weekend visit
at a smart summer colony must be
sure TO have ready something smart
and appropriate for country club or
casino wear. On the opening day at
the Seewanhaka-Corinth Club at
Oyster Bay last month some of the
most beautiful gowns of the season
were worn, and perhaps the most
beautiful was a deep cream batiste
affair heavily embroidered in self
color and trimmed with square motifs
of dead white Venise. Panels Of the
Venise and embroidered batiste in al
ternating squares, fell at back and
front of the frock. The bodice was
almost childishly simple and com
bined the deep cream fabric and the
white lace in artistic fashion. The
] frock had a hem and Eirdle Of deeD

Appliques of velvet pansies and pearl

to be sure, but much more elaborate
boudoir gowns than this are worn
at fashionable weekend parties. A
simpler negligee should of course be
taken along; for gossip-fests in the
wee, sma' hours are always held in
the bedrooms. among the women
guests, and breakfast is usually taken
in ones room.
A Pretty Tennis Frock.
If one is very younger wishes to
be classed among the youthful, one
appears before luncheon ready for
GUS sport. Tennis and bathing cos
tunes of up-to-date character are IL
Illustrated. The bathing dress shows
the new "knicker-skirt'' with the di-
vision hidden under panels at front
and back when the Wearer stands
still. This pretty little suit is made of
light blue satin with bands and sailor
collar of black satin and cap of
blue and black printed silk. The
tennis frock is charmingly pretty and
practical besides. 1t is made of thin
chalIis with coin spots in two shades
of blue on a white ground; a quilting
of ribbon in the lighter blue color
trimming the bodice. The belt is OF
gray suede and the ideal outing hat of
flexible straw has a gay band of Ro-
man ribbon. The skirt is narrow
in effect but deep panels at front and

back give suf1cient fullness for active
exercise.
The Weekend Guest Who Wears
Mourning.
OF course the woman in deep
mourning does not go a-visiting: but
when lighter mourning is assumed
one is expected to take part in some
Of the pleasures of ones kind-espe-
cially in summer time when staying
at home is such a bore. In the
country, of a morning, all-white is
the best choice, and white frocks,
guiltless of lace, but worn with white
hats. slippers and parasol will be
charming. In the afternoon white
linen or mohair- will be suitable: but
costumes OF a formal nature must be
black, not white. A handsome black
gown that might answer for dinner
wear or for an afternoon gathering is
illustrated. Over a skirt of peau de
cygne is draped a tunic of black chif-
fon banded with dull jet. The same
banding trims the bodice which is
rounded out for GOODNESS but not at
all decollete. The string of pearls at
the neck is considered correct mourn
ing.
A Yachting Weekend.
If the weekend visit is to be on a
large yacht. the usual quota of even
ing frocks and pretty negligees will be
necessary, but for Casino frocks and
tennis frocks may be substituted smart
tailored costumes of linen or mohair
made in coat and skirt style, or trot-
teur fashion, with small hats and
wells.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-06-24

ternOon and Casino wear. But If the
stay is to be made at large country
house, the wise woman provides a
dinner-dance gown of something more
substantial in fabric than a mere
tub" gown of lingerie character.
Dancing Gowns With Trains.
Many of the costumes intended for
dancing use have little trains now
and the train, of soft, slimpsy material
is looped over the arm during the
dance. The soft, slimpsy skirt is
drawn up with it and oft-times a deal
Of silk stocking and dainty ankle is
revealed; but the little slippers are
so pretty and the silken hose with
rich embroideries match them so
charmingly that the clinging, upheld
dancing gown is to be thanked and
not rebuked. A lovely dinner-dance
gown, built for country house visit
ing, is pictured today. This gown has
the soft, slimpsy skirt of pale pink
satin and over it tunic of Val lace
hemmed with pink satin. A shorter
tunic of cream f1et lace banded with
Cluny forms the top of the gown and
under the f11et are black velvet rib
bons. draped gracefully over the val
lace and pink satin. This touch of
black velvet is characteristic OF Paris
frocks this season.
Auction in My Lady's Chamber.
Bridge is still fashionable but auc-
ton bridge is now the game elite and
at some of the auction parties held in
fashionable boudoirs at Sunday week
ends quite a bit of money changes
hands. Boudoir bridge parties are
held in the morning, and sometimes
