New York, Aug. 14-September
 shopping for clothes. Of first i'm
 portance is their choice of costume for steamer, train, automobile or
 airplane.
 Many girls will be going to col lege, many abroad, some will go
 South and some West. Women who
 stay at home will find need for at least one travelling costume, for
 what woman today doesn't run to
 the next town for shopping, visit
 ing with friends or for a weekend 1 house party?
 The travelling costumes this au-
 tumn are distinctly soft in line, made of charming new lightweight
 wools, and furnish fine examples
 of how far from the straight line styles have departed.
 Straight Line Passes No suit coat, whether it is lit tie jacket or one of the new three quarters or seveneights autumn lengths, in straight line. The day
 when two fronts and a back are sewed together on the straight, and the result is called coat, are passed. More often than not the trick in fit lies in the back line. Some couturiers prefer a flaring back and fitted front sections, oth-
 ha hapl- or less loose front. Somewhere, ei- ther front or back, the waistline must be traced and in my opinion 1 there will be many coats, before the winter is out, that are snugly fitted princess modes.
 Fur trims many suits this au tumn. One may put long fur on the under side of the sleeves, which gives the effect of fur pillows to lean on when one stops in her ships walk to rest on the rail spell. Spiral or circular sleeve trims are delightfully."- different this re,". Sometimes a little flounce or ruftle of fur around the elbow of a sleeve is more effective than q deep cuff, Other sleeves may have an over- skirt of fur. A few sleeves are made entirely of fur, in cloth coats. Here's Unusual Suit
 A suit imported from Vionnet this year has unusual brown caracuI trim. The suit itself has a skirt with side pleats and a long coat of tan tweed in a pebbly worsted. Brown caracul fashions the lower part of the sleeves, rounding out into full sleeves, not unlike the old Bishops sleeves, gathered into cuffs that barely slip over the hands. The col lar is split in the back to show V of the material and comes down to points in the front.
 The coat has raglan sleeves, deep square pockets put on with points top and bottom and wide, flaring back section, with the front slightly fitted.
 Much softer in line is a little Lu- ellie Paray import of tan herring bone tweed, trimmed with brown suede bandings. The skirt has two very, very deep box pleats on it's wrap-around side. There is a hon. ey beige flat crepe blouse, with fem mine iabot collar and a tight waist band that ties on one side. The coat has set-in sleeves and a deep shawl collar that is faced with the brown 1, ,frl,F "A the waistline and from there the lower part flares slightly. Cape Frocks to Be Seen The cape frock is likely to prove popular autumn travel attire.' One of the most interesting of these is a London Trades import in grey checked tweed, English in it's smart tailoring, French in its chic. The frock is intricately cut with deep inverted box plcat to give walking freedom The waistline is indicated by the cut of the frock but a woven grey and white modernistic belt further emphasizes 1t.
 There is a detachable cape to this frock, a short, jaunty little affair. There are some women who can never carry a cape, but for those who have the slight figure and grace that keeps them from being "cape- conscious" this is an astonishingly smart outfit.
 The cape and the cuffs of the frocks gre trimmed with white pique. This use of washable lingerie touches on worsted is one that win ter will see increased, I believe. For
