~ UR ideas Of suitable traVei
clothes have been as greatly
changed within the last ten
or twelve years as have our
modes OF travel. The hat and wrap
considered smart for motoring the year
of the outbreak Of the European war
would look about as smart ana oe-
bonair now as touring car OF tne
vintage Of 1914.
And in travel clothes, as well as In
the means Of travel. style and IN
creased smartness have been Incl
dental-greater efficiency. greater
comfort, increased luxuary have been
the main considerations. Naturally
Increased snartness followed In the
wake Of these considerations
This spring many smart American
women are selecting knitted fabrics
for their travel frocks and suits.
The change is not one in fashion so
much as in the fabric itself, which
is no longer the flimsy material that
used to bag at the knees and bulge
at the back. Unfortunately. many
women had their first samplinE of
knitted suits and frocks In war days
The fabric shared with other fabrics
Of the time the distinction Of being
abominably dyed and of poor quail
ity. And many women have never
had a good word to say for knitted
materials since then. But the pres
ent knitted fabric Is quite different.
1t is scarcely more prone to bag than
any other wool, is easily restored to
form when pressed, is fast of color,
sheds dust amazingly well. and goes
through the processes of the clean
ing establishment as we'll as anything
else.
English manufacturers have set the
pace in the development Of knitted
fabrics, and have recently perfected
some resembling tweeds and hopsack-
ing that lend themselves excellently
to the travel suit, frock or coat.
However. preference is sometimes
given to the good old English woven
tweed for skirts and suits, with
camel's hair as a choice for wraps.
Imported homespuns are well chos-
en-, and those in herringbone pattern
stand an amazing amount Of wear
without bad effect.

TOR travel by motor, water or rail
i the same outer wrap may be
chosen. Not infrequently our trips
are combinations of these three
modes of progress. so it is best to
select your travel wrap with these
questions in mind: would 1t stand
the humidity of an ocean trip? Would
1t remain uncrushed after a days
motor travel? Would 1t remain spot
less under the test Of an ocean spray?
Is its color such as to minimize the
effect Of dust from travel by motor or
rail?" Possibly you may not have
to shift with single wrap for all
travel occasions, but 1t is quite pos
sible to find one that will answer the
purpose II you have to.
The plaids and stripes are an ex.
cellen choice for the general utility
travel wrap, because their broken
surfaces make dust and possible
wrinkles quite inconspicuous. Nc
stripe can be too wide nor plaid toe
large for these coats, is the saying
this spring. But they are not neces-
sarily conspicuous in consequence
Thecolors chosen by we'll dressed
women are usually some combination

leather in soft blues and green's. It

and a novelty Of the season is tho
knitted sport or travel jaquette
trimmed with strappings and bind
ings of leather. The leather Jackets
themselves are usually bound with
some sort Of silk or mohair braid In
matching color.
Leather belts are used as acces-
sories on some of the newest sep
arate and suit Jackets. as well as on
some of the coats. But there seems
to be disposition. especially on the
part Of the young and svelte. to dis
card the belt entirely. Many of the
knitted sweaters and jaquettes de-
signed for travel and sports are pro-
vided with belts, but the jaquettes
or sweaters to which they belong
lack the usual loops to hold the belts
at side or back, because in the ma
jority OF cases the belts are never
used.

robe has greater comfort been
achieved than in hats.
Even for warm weather travelling
the lightweight felt hat seems to be
the selection Of the most discrimi-
mating women. Little leather cloches
are smart, but are seldom as light
and comfortable as shapes of light
weight felt. One OF the numerous
light brown shades is a good selec-
tion for the travel hat OF felt. A
soft light green Is likewise a good
selection for wear with the beige or
light brown travel costume. Light
gray and even pearl are coming into
ever increasing favor.

BOWERS BEACH

The stormy weather of the last week
end was not all conducive to the wishes
of those who purposed to pay the resort
a visit or even to visit friends or attend
church worship, but nevertheless we all
should be thankful that the control of the
elements are not in the hands of man,
hence rightfully all should 'humbly bow
TO the inevitable.
However, the storm was pretty severe
here, with rain, hail and snow, with a
strong cold northeast wind, sometimes
blowing gale and bringing in even more
than an average tide for an easterly
storm.
On account of the storm the steamer
Frederick did not reach here on her
home trip until late Sunday evening
thereby keeping her passengers on board

nearly forty eight hours.
