TOURING COATS
FOR MOTORISTS
Some of the New Styles
For Motorists Seen
in the East.

Plaid extra coats in subdued colors
are going to be worn by children as
well as by their elders for touring
this summer. The two tone mauve
plaids or the tans with the black line
plaid seem to be the most popular.
The little garments are cut. like
grOwnup sport coats and worn with
out any belts. or like raglans, which
have patent leather belts in the same
color as the plaid. The colored belt
is an innovation from the general use
/ of the black patent leather. Little
mushroom hats OF soft hemp straw or
ribbon, with a single ornament or
bunch OF worsted flowers as the only
| trimming are worn with the coats.

Silk and wool mixed sweaters IN
fancy plaids are very popular TO wear
under the loose coats. One particu-
larly pretty is In green. pink and
black plaid; the cuffs, collar and Cir
die are black. The girdie is odd, as II
is very wide and buttons down the
front, vestee fashion. A popular Shet-
land sweater is knitted Of army tan:
IL Is the slipon model and has white
collar and cuffs OF Angora- The
closely to the figure up to the bust
line.

Breaches have come into fashion for
automobile touring and are appar-
emily receiving a warm reception. OF
course, the breaches are covered by a
long, full coat, much the same as the
many cases leggins are adopted or
puttees are worn Attractive waist
coats in bright colors are worn with
these suits and the caps are made OF
the same material leather trimmed,
or are in the plain leather models.
Hats show many odd fancies this
year. A pink straw mushroom shape
I is trimmed with an elaborate pattern
in braiding done by a single narrow
strip OF navy blue straw. The effect
is very unusual and attractive.
Among the pretty touring sport
suits Is one made with the skirt of
striped black and white khaki kool
silk in full model though fitted
with white collar. cuffs and girdle is
worn over the white silk shirtwaist
and a knitted black and white silk
tam with long dropping tassel COM
pletes the costume.
Hats are varied and unusually
pretty for outing wear this season.
One white tuscan straw mushroom
shaped hat has a wreath OF dark red
cherries around the rim and rising
high on the left side OF the crown; the
hat is faced with dark red velvet and
the left side OF the brim is turned up
enough to show the color. Georgette
crepe hats are new and smart and are
trimmed with arabesques OF fancy
silk on the plain colnrs. Tall crown
sailors with leather trimmings are
extreme but smart when worn with
tailored touring suits.
Belts and girdles are very smart
this season. Perhaps the newest are
the sets OF worsted embroidered linen
which include the hat band to match.
White or ecru linen Is used for the
sets and the flowers with which they
are embroidered, are gay IN color;
they are likely to be worn with the
linen suits more especially. The col
ored belts. both narrow and wide, are
chosen IN color 10 match the garment
over which they are to be worn rather
than the contrasting black which has
held sway for 90 long.
Green suede is used FOR unbelted
hunting pockets and convertible COL
lars. Little flat caps with patent
leather visors are worn with them.
This makes a pretty outfit TO wear
with forestry serge skirts.
Fashions latest fad is to have the
car perfumed- This does not mean to
have Just an ordinary sachet used, but
an odor that outdoor air and damp
ness. will bring up and keep fresh for
a year
