LARGE WARDROBE
IN LITTLE SPACE

When ono travels, baggage is trou-
blesome convenience. especially when
one travels from place to place. as one
does in Europe or as thousands Of per-
sons are doing in this country this
summer. 1t 10 an easy matter to send
any number of bags and boxes and
trunks from ones home to the homo of
a friend or to a summer home, even IL
that be hundreds of miles away. For
these things can be intrusted to the.
expressman and left in his care until
they reach their destination. But sup
pose ono Is going across country, stop
the way, and then wandering up and
down the coast-then the through ex-
press idea Is impracticable and the true
troubles of travelling como to the sur
face.
The whole point. in such a trip, is to
plan the wardrobe carefully and man
age to pack it into small space. A few
pieces Of baggage are not difficult to
manage. But only few clothes can be
packed into few pieces of baggage.
Last year and the year before more
clothes. because they were made of less
material, could be slowed into a small
space. One could then take a whole
weekend wardrobe easily IN a suit
case. So the problem confronting the
traveller is more difficult than before.
A black tafYeta or satin coat, that
comes at least to the hips, would be a
wise choice for the traveller. For 1t
can be worn in the afternoon and in
the evening. A black taffeta frock.
with bodice of chiffon and lace. could
serve. with the black taffeta frock,
either for formal afternoon or informal
evening wear. for restaurant, theater
and other things.
A georgette crepe blouse does not
wrinkle easily. And this lovely fabric
is made in such thin quality that a very
elaborate blouse in it can be obtained.
Cotton voile blouses, too. are good
blouses for the traveller. for they stand
much crushing without wrinkling.

AZ for evening clothes, the sort of
journey one is making must determine
those.
A white net frock with colored sirdle
is durable and can be made a. elabo-
rate as desired with lace. A black lace
and net frock, too. 10 admirable for
evening wear. and some of the silk
