Kimonos for Travel
UTE as important as the
travelling coat is the travel
ing kinono or negligee. In

we'll as durability. The question
arises as to which material is besa
adapted to these requirements -
silk material does not wrinkle as
quickly as a cotton one, and as tan
seems to be the most practical shade
for this purpose pongee is the solu-
tion of our problem. Both short and
full length unlined kimonos made in
this material may be found in the
shops. They come in the natural
shade daintily embroidered in rose,
blue, or, in fact, almost any color.
Then there are others with a tan
background printed in a tiny floral
design in japanese tones. Any of
these may be tucked into a corner
of the travelling or weekend bag.
For the seashore or mountains are
kimonos Of japanese challis. Some
have white backgrounds with floral
designs in Copenhagen blue, tanger-
inc and green, and carry trim
ming of plain challis in the form of
band down the open front and
around the sleeves. One model in
kings blue challis has a vivid de-
sign in pink, green, yellow and red.
and has pink satin piping down
the front and padding of the same
shade around the bottom. Another
having white background and a
design in purple and red is lined
with the former color.
Japanese Sandals
Add Touch of Color
HAND EMBROIDERED Jana
nese sandals made of silk lend
bright touch when worn with either
the challis or pongee negligees, and
they may be had in all matching col
crs. Then there are garters made
of ribbons in startling color combi-
nations, such as rose combined with
black, yellow with white and pink
with black, to complete the negligee
costume.
Crepe meteor breakfast coats are
new. We have had breakfast coats
in taffetas and crepe de chimes. but
not in meteor. This silk is made in all
the beautiful pastel shades as well
as the darker ones. One model, in
pink, has as its only trimming
shirred ruff1es of self material.
These are placed about the neck, con-
tinuing all the way down the front
Of the negligee and around the bot
tom as we'll as on the three-quarter
length sleeves. Two ruff1es placed
about the skirt at even intervals and
one around the puffy patch pockets
add to its attractiveness. The pock-
cts have further ornamentation in
the form of fruit made of several
shades of meteor.
A Breakfast Gown
Of Crepe de Chine
A MOTHER model of ashes of rose
crepe meteor in slip-over style
has long flowing lines, and is
trimmed with ribbon about half an
inch wide. This ribbon has a Copen-
hagen blue satin surface and an edge
Of navy blue, which looks like an en-
broidered running stitch done in
heavy blue silk A narrow belt of
the material slips through two
slashes in both the back and front.
Heavy silk tassels finish the sleeves.

model is most effective in oriole
