FOR THE MOTORIST.

Oil silk hoods large enough to slip on
over the hat in case of rain come in
several shapes and in colors to match
the raincoats. One shape has draw
string that draws a close oval about
the face and another string draws the
hood close in around the neck. Another
model snap catches into place and has
long tab ends that go around the neck
and catch at the back. The same STYLES
Of hood in silk or pongee, with mica
face shields. may be worn for dusty
trips to keep the hair and hat clean.
Included in the smart luggage for
motoring trips are the new corrugated
fiber trunk suit case. They are in
black, steel-bound and trimmed, are
fitted with compartment trays and are
lined with Alice blue, watered, mer-
cer1zed linen. Hat boxes come to ma oh
and are roomy enough to carry two
medium sized hats or three small ones
Cleverly arranged and very handy for
the tourist Is small, fiat pocket case
of leather which has on one side Il
place for hairpins. net envelope, fold
ing comb and pair of scissors. Oppo-
site are pins of all varieties a reel Of
black thread and one of white needles
nail file, piece of black court plaster
and a little silver case of glove but
tons. The case snaps shut like a cigar
cite case.
Bronze tweed is the material used in
full skirted raglan coat for automo-
bile use. 1t has at the back two in
verted box pieats that are caught at
the waist line by silk embroidered
crows feet. The fronts are side pleat-
ed, with the pleats caught yoke fashion
with small embroidered crows feet,
while from the under arm seams
there is velvet sash that knots
once across the front and falls TO the
bottom of the coat where the ends are
finished with a heavy silk fringe. The
cuffs and collar are also of bronze vel
vet.
Luncheon cases to hang on the rail
are made of enameled duck. and are
shaped little like a Gladstone bag.
The sandwich box is in the center.
with the fiat fittings in the opposite
cover.
A new tan suede cape Is very full and
falls to the hip line. A six-iuch band
of black leather finishes it at the bot
tom and forms the high chine COL
Jar. while the arm Sits are faced back
with the leather. The cape is lined
with tan silk. The hat worn with the
cape has sugar loaf of tan suede,
with a black leather brm. At the left
side there is a fancy made of black
leather leaves.
Heavy net wells with octagoual
meshes are shown with wide chiffon
hens. They have a certain style of
their own and keep ones hair from
blowing, but they are not much of a
protection from dust and. of course, are
not washable.
Loosely woven Shetland vestees are
very good for wear under the new
spring capes while the weather is still
sharp. The white ones or those in deli
cate shades are best. for they wash
very we'll. The vestees are less bulky
than the sweaters and are tied at the
waist line.
Outing suits of striped awning linen
worn q good deal last season. are again
in evidence. They are being worn in
the south with hats and parasols &c
match. and over them are worn the
loose flannel topcoats with knitted silk
| sashes and smoked pearl buttons.
English wicker baskets are yer,
scare for luncheon use. owing to wal
conditions.
