The great army OF women who have
a trip at all on would have satchels,
OF course, but not those luxurious
things all admire and few possess.
However, there is always a Pullman
apron with its many pockets, rubber
lining and gay cretonne outside, to be
had for very little. and into these
pockets can go brushes. combs. soap.
wash cloth. hair pins. powder. pins,
button hook and all the little things
one must have. but which will lose
themselves unless kept together In
special places. The aprons are fitted
with strings on each side by which
they can be tied on or rolled up and
tied when not in use. They are a
boon. indispensable.
Another Pullman Comfort.
Another Pullman comfort is the
Pullman robe OF dark crepe de chine
or silk for the sleeping car. These
are now made with such extremely
good lines that they appear as long
loose cloaks and are OF q quality OF
material sufficiently fine for every
purpose. One Of these is OF dark blue

easily converted into waistcoats con-
tinues. One fabric that meets the de-
mand Is the wide black silk trimming

broidery emphasized with gold and sill

two widths, one wide enough to make
the waistcoat without piecing. the
other only wide enough for half the

pieced down the front. but this piecing

which have the front and back widths
rounded at the hem and slightly
slashed at each seam, have gained
wide success. They are graceful and
give an easy movement in walking.
Some OF the new coats are made with
rounded panels at the back TO
match these skirts. The sleeves are
also rounded at the wide, bell-shaped
edge.
Remember that It Is not fashionable
to have any skirt hem even. No mat
ter what the method employed, the
effect must be that Of an uneven hem.
This Is especially true OF evening
gowns, where the drapery must pull
the hem into various lines as it closes
around the ankles.

scrawlins designs in blue, a soft blue
The designs are not so bold and strik-
ing as those in the new foulards,
neither are they so dainty and flower
like as foulards and pongees used to
be. The blouses are made usually with
tan or ecru net in the form of little
vestees and collars and sometimes frills
at the arms.
Some Of the new wells show colored
designs on black net grounds. There
is one fine black mesh with a design
in blue threads that makes almost an
all over scrollwork across the wells
surface. Others have border designs
worked in tan or blue chenille dots.
Some have big applied polka dots of
color In a soft, silky fabric. These
wells look decidedly well when the de-
sign is in the color OF the hat trim
ming.
There is a new motor veil with an
inset for the face of lace in a founda-
ton OF chiffon. Every spring, of
course. some such veil appears on the
counters, for there are still many mo-
florists who like to have their face and
hair protected from the dust OF the
road when they motor.

FOR NIMBLE FINGERS

There are charming painted ribbons
that could be made by the woman who
can handle a paint brush. They are Of
black satin and are painted in pots OF
fiowers-stiff and bright and striking
in effect. One OF the smartest MILL
ners uses them on sport hats. They are
also to be seen used for belts and
sashes In other designs.
Some OF Princess Pats most at
:ractive handkerchiefs were sheer linen
squares whipped in colors with initials
done in the same color This effect you
can gain by rolling the edge of the
linen and then working a crocheted
piquot edge around or whipping it two
ways with a needle threaded in the col
ored cotton.
Waistcoats have gained an even
greater vogue than wss predicted for
them in the early spring. The reason
that they persist in really good style
in spite Of the fact that they are found
in most OF the cheap ready made suits
is because they can be made as ex-
pensive ana distinctive as their wearer
wishes. Some of the smartest are
made In the newest weave Of silk Ter
sey, which is very heavy. This is en-.

In conventional design. Embroidered
silk is also sold by the yard for waist
coats. 1t is embroidered by hand and
It costs from IS q yard up. It NAV be
had In a narrower width for a slightly
smaller sum. but as two strips II the
narrower width are needed for the
waistcoat the expense is even greater
The woman who is nimble fingered
can reproduce this sort OF embroidery
herself. 1t is worked on heavy six In
an allover pattern, with cOlured six
threads and with the occasional intro
duction Of gold or silver threads to
point the design.
A new kind Of trimming is coars. ret

with rows Of beads sewed on as an

used In banding outdoor clothes, OF

on silk slippers.
For cretonne slippers, which, though
they started as a novelty several years
ago, have now become a commonplace
the most appropriate form of trimming
at the top is a cotton braid of some
sort, showing the same colors as the
cretonne. Some of the cretonne slip
pers are made with quilted Innings.
Then there are kid slippers with
pompons. These are made in excellent
quality, with all the workmanship and

in brown, red and black.
