THAT FOLD WELL

Suitable for the Summer
Vacation Trip.
THE USEFUL BOUDOIR WRAP
Garment Serves for Bath Robe but

These are travelling days for every
body. But how to do the jOurneying
without ali the trunks and bags and
hat boxes In the world Is one OF those
problems not so easy to solve.
The woman who starts on on her
summer vacation burdened with too
many dress and hat carriers is bound
to have some unhappy moments before
she has finished her holidays. She will
be far wiser. states a fashion writer
in the New York Times, to study out
her needs before she starts away and
indulge right from the start In the
process Of elimination. She can be
well dressed in a small space Just as.
efficiently as she can by taking up all
the room in her vicinity. II Is only
necessary TO take the right things and
the most fOldabie things along with
her.
There are plenty OF pretty clothes
that really have no place in a travel
er's luggage unless that traveller Is
equipped with a maid or two and
pressing facilities galore. Those
dresses might Just as well remain at
home when the average woman is do
ing her tripping, for they viii be Of
little or no use to her once she has
wrested their tangled meshes from the
crowded masses Of her trunk. Rufles
viii not withstand packing unless they
are coaxed back to life through the
expenditure OF much time and energy.
And who wants TO expend these valu-
able possessions when on for a summer
splurge?
On the other hand, there are 50
many sorts Of clothes, especially
among the present styles, that seem
fitted by nature to go travelling. They
telescope themselves without any as
sistance, and they come out from the
confines Of tightly packed luggage
LOOKING their own charming selves.
Plan for Comfort.
Naturally, these are the frOcks to be
chosen for the summer, II one is plan
ming with the least foresight and care
for ones ultimate comfort. All Of the
crepe and chiffon dresses, which are
so important a part Of the present
summer wardrobe. fold into small
spaces with the greatest Of ease and
grace. In the first place. they are cut
along such straight and simple lines
that they fairly beg to be packed just
to show how particularly well they
can stand the strain. A woman may
fold them just as she would lay to-
gether a piece Of straight material,
with no more fear that the wrinkles
will be noticeable when the dress Is
dragged from the trunk.
The silken and chiffon materials are
woven with such great art and care
that they take TO packing with no
more terror than II they were meant
for that alone. In other words, they
have such body and hexbility that
nent folds, and the owner need fear
none for them. She Is safe when she
keeps to these materials, for they are
so adaptable that they will stand her
in good stead no matter what demands
may be made upon them.
There Is much in the way the gowns
are cut The simpler they are the bet
ter. For II there is too much draping
about them. then they are let in for
extra crossings, which may not be so
good after much travelling about. But
the straigh; lines fold into small places
so naturally that they emerge without
showing the traces Of packing.
OF course, every woman needs a
bOudOir wrap Of some sort wherever
