see that material in yachting cos

The feminine tax" IS no longer
ioke. She is a good sailor and
matter OF fact person, even though
she succeeds so well in protecting
her complexion that after a pro-
longed cruise she steps ashore lock
ing as pretty as when she sailed out
Of the harbor.
How she acconplishes this feat IS
a secret which lies between herself
and her maid. Our concern is with
he. wardrobe, and especially with
her deck costume.
Takes With Her Three Deck Suits.
A matron identified with the Sea-
wanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club set
who annually takes the Labrador
cruise with the gentleman skipper
who is her husband. always packs
into her sea chest" three deck suits.
The simpler OF the trio Of day
costumes is il rather heavy white
flannel. It's skirt. straight OF cut.
GAINS sufficient fitness from single
deep pleats set at either side OF the
va;stline's centre at front and back.
Thus is gained sufficient fitness
about the ankles for comfortable
deck walking. The upper portion
OF this suit takes the form OF
s.-aieht-cut. hip length jacket with
low rolling fronts turned back from
a 6ne white flannel MILDLY blouse,
loosely strapped belt. conventional
sleeve sand broad pockets applied
below the waist
Tn. Costume for General Wear.
This is the costume usually
donned for early breakfast on deck
and generally changed later IN the
morning for creamy flannel whose
ga.hered-to-the-w aistoand overskirt

dress. necessarily a little bit sph'

hal; way 10 the knees, IS cleveriy
"shapeless" in that its wide back
and fronts fall loosely yet grace
fully about the figure.
Gu. in one with them are elbow
sleeves heightened by applied lower
,leeyes, which az the wrist turn back
into the broadest Of cuffs. At the
neck the loosely fitted fronts and
backs are slightly gathered TO nj

Tussore for Luncheon and Shore Suit.
The third suit, for luncheons on
board and for trips on shore, has
marine blue tussore skirt, gathered
70 the waistband and trimmed be-
tween hips and ankles with a broad
band in white tussore, applied fatty
but hanging loosely, as though II
were a slight founce.
The jacket, worn over a net
blouse, has long, set-in sleeves,
hip-leng,h, unified back and scarf
fronts. which. drawn IN rather close
~ above the waistline, are crossed,
then brought about the hips and
form sash ends knotted above the
thor, back. It's collar, ike the ono
on the fine flannel deck suit, stands
high about the back OF the neck. AS
matter Of fact, none Of the new
deck jackets, nautical looking as
they are, carry collars even vague
ly resembling the fat type. Long
ago women realized that the neck's
