Plain WASH
SKIRT BEST
FOR OUTING

Whenever a woman goes on a vaca-
ton she wants to get away from gowfs
and wraps and hats that have marched
with her through the other part of the
summer. She may not be able to buy
a new wardrobe, or discard the clothes
she owns, even for the time being, but
she can add a few timely things that
will give her sepsc of relief from the
routine of her wardrobe
To begin with: Why tho coat suit
of somber material and possibly wool
en- fabric? She has many oppoftuni-
ties to wear it during the. rest OF the
season, for IL she is Ike the rest Of
American womankind, she atorts 1t
rs sort of uniform.
She may argue that all places are
not cool at all times and that the
usual muslin frocks are not seitable;
but the answer to that srgumcnt Is
the separate linen skirt and tie
colored sweater.
The woman who does not travel
often or far Is rot cagnizant of the
popularity OF the plain wash skirt or
linen or crash, of satin or thin serge,
with its accompe nying wash blouse Of
muslin. She thinks that fashionable
resort must call for elaborate musliFs
for organizes, for crepe de chimes;
whereas the travelled woman who
dresses in the last fashion is quite con-
tent with good looking simplicity The
laundry bill is not reassurlng when one
weers a uniform OF washable things.
but that is always true in summer, no
matter how one dresses or where one
lives.
4 Fashion has joined hands with good
sense in adopting the plain skirt Of
linen, or even serge when II is to
serve with a wash blouse and be top
ped with a colored sweater or jaunty
top coat. Once the designers tried
out the plated linen skirt, also enc
with a tunic, but after women gave
them a short trial their end was GER
tain. They would not lend themselves
to the tub or to the hot iron.
Even on the chilIiest days 1t Is quite
good taste to wear this wash skirt, for
one can always be warm enough with
the sweater or loose coat. Ones
choice Is between these two for cold
days out of town.
The white sweater has evidently
