appearance. The back swings free.

a collar that points over the tops OF
conventional coat sleeves.
Loose Sleeves and Draped Back.
In "bryk" color is a particularly
good coat, whose back IS loosely
draped and caught below the left hip
with a row Of three buttons set Juc,

But Just how that erect was pro-
duced is a mystery which only the
designer can reveal The exception
ally loose sleeves. which are cut in
one piece, are piped TO simulate
broadly turned back cuffs, and the
whole effect OF the wrap IS trim,
smart and very unusual.
Capes More Convenient Than Coats.
Some women consider capes more
comfortable than coats for wear dur
ing a long motoring trip. They
maintain that they are more easily
drawn on and of and that as they
are not running the car they do not
find the loose fronts and the lack OF
sleeves an inconvenience. For mo
torists there has been launched
very graceful wrap which is ez-
tremely good looking in any OF the
acknowledged automobile garment
fabrics, with the exception, OF course,
of fur or leather. This three-quarter
length model falls in straight and
very full folds from under a collar
which is narrow, pointed and fat on
the shoulders, but which becomes at
the back waist-long square cape
widely box pleated at its centre.
Creme de Chine Blouse Useful.
To attempt 10 carry a collection OF
crushable lingerie or tailored linen
blouses in the narrow confines OF the
motor trunk is folly. The expert

to rely upon a blouse, something like
a model in blue crepe de chine, re-
lieved with a waistcoat and mar
row. outstanding bias cut collar of
white silk Several crepe waists in
white will be found useful. or, if
something thinner is preferred, a
cream lace blouse lined with flesh
colored chiffon with a lace-veiled
black chiffon yoke. Some of the
black transparency about the waist
line will give the blouse substance,
and worn with a black taffeta skirt
the combination will look ike a
frock.
Chiffon and Lace Evening Gown.
An experienced motorist declares
that the best sort OF evening gown
to take is one of chiffon and lace.
She packs hers by simply dropping
it lightly upon the top of the other
things in the trunk, tucking in the
edges and closing the lid upon it.
A July bride. starting on her honey
moon. packed into her motor trunk
a dinner gown of black charmeuse
which formed the skirt, the low
er half of the bodice and the NOUS
quetaire sleeves. The white tulle
upper portion of the bodice was in
peasant style. and over the whole
went a white lace tunic, girdled with
a broad black satin sash dropped low
on the hips and still lower at the
back.
Becoming Veil Important.
What the motor hat is like does
not matter so long as il will stay on.
The main thing is the chiffon veil.
which, becomingly draped, should
match the shade of the wrap. Red
brown shades in wells are recon-
mended by beauty specialists as pre-
ventves of sunburn. but they are not
so hattering TO the features as are
the white Shetlands or the taupe
shades.
