quired when she went through her
episode.
In the picture of the very beauti-
full evening gown, with its very new
fiShtail train, there is memory that
is very wonderful to the woman who
will wear it, This is an eXquisitely
spangled green tulle that looks very
like the color of the sea just as the
wave turns but before it breaks.
Sea foam tulle with sea green span
giles should mean happiness to any
woman, and it does to the one ! have
in mind. 1t recalls, no it epitOmizes,
an episode that is all loneliness. even
though it is now but memory. And
| wonder why it is that some women
make all memories unhappy while
others make theirs all happiness.
And now this brings me back to
the sea-green dress. For this woman
loved on a Summer evening and a
Summer sea; no, she has not mar
ried the man, but she says that her
memories of that love will be with
her all her life long, and while she
does not carry them in every one Of
her gowns she has epitomized them
in this delightful costume. And she
is never more happy than when she
is wearing it.

In the third picture I know you
are wondering what kind of q mem.
DRY that recalls. Well, prepare to be
disappointed, for that recalls the hap
piest kind of a honeymoon! This
is the gown that | created for a bride
of a year. She came to me and said
that she was so happy that she must
have a costume to express her hap
piness My honeymoon was the
most wonderful time of my life. If
[ should die tomorrow" she added.
And do feel that I have succeeded
in this costume. The color is a rare
and wonderful blue, the blue that
baby's eyes are the day they are
born-and this is a very radiant blue,
indeed. 1t is a silky crepe, marvel
ously draped, and there is much real
lace on it; the bodice is nearly all
lace. and there is the drop skirt to
match.
And the hat is a picture hat Of
lace that shades the face most be-
witchingly.
When it was finished and the
happy bride saw it she smiled and
said, "Ah, before me / see the hap
piness of my life, | see my heart

know that | do

necessarily the rule for a well-bred
woman. Shabbiness is unpardon-
able. Anyone who thinks that
anything will do" for travelling is
mistaken Aside from the chances
of meeting friends or acquaintances
and wishing to make good ap-
pearance, ones own self-respect
demands that one should be care
fully dressed at all times.
A hat plainly trimmed, without
feathers or flowers, is in good taste.
A more dressy hat may be provided
for occasional use Gloves of gray
suede or tan dogskin are useful, or
silk gloves may be worn in very
warm weather An important rule
is that gloves should remain on the
hands. Nothing is more unattrac-
tive, as well as showing a neglect
of good form, than ungloved hands
in the street or when travelling.
Gloves which are inexpensive may
be worn, but gloves must always be
worn for the purpose of neatness.

sees that information is needed 1t
is kind to give it readily and not to
be Indifferent to the wants of
others.
Sensible women and those who
are sure of themselves know that
refinement and culture go hand in
hand with simplicity in dress and
demeanOr. Costliness and elabora-
ton in dress and the wearing of
jewels when travelling are avoided
by everyone with good taste and a
sense of the fitness of things.
While it is true that lighter colors
are worn now than formerly and
thinner materials are chosen for
warm days, it is equally true that
nothing that is conspicuous is ever
correct, and that perishable ma
terials or those that soil quickly
are undesirable A gown that
might be suitable for a short trip
in a drawing-room car is not appro-
pirate for a long journey in an or
binary car.

waists should be included in ones

Young girls should not travel

travelling alone are careful to plan
to arrive before evening. Young
girls do not stop at hotels alone,
