New York, May 2s-The selection If a wardrobe for summer travelling is . special kind of problem.
 Costumes must, first of all, not be susceptible to entire loss of looks If exposed to dampnees. sun or dust. Secondly, they must be the type that shakes out well. rather than have to be pressed meticulously every time they are worn. Thirdly, their colors must be practical. even though the popularity of light shades makes them inevitable.
 Greys and beiges are exceedingly sood choices. Blues of medium tone and sometimes greens are excellent. New tweeds seem made with travel in mind. So are many of the crepe silks and the novelty fabrics that are somewhat crepey are excellent.
 The most important articles in a travel wardrobe are the suit or en- semblA one sets out in and the top coat carried over the arm for steam CT wear and for every day wear if one is fortunate enough to visit some cold cltmes in hot weather.
