 New York, May 2.--May days bring the wanderlust.
 Having finished the winters social i sea son, or the winters grind of work, as the case may be every woman's thoughts turn longingly to far places. r she's among the for tunate. she plans a Journey-and wants to know immediately how she can tighten her ba gage without de priving herself Of toggery essentials Tie less baggage one has in foreign parts the happier and more comfortable the trip, for trunks can be an awful nuisance in Europe, Travel without them if you can. Which is equivalent just to saying travel without them, For you can quite comfortably.
 In which case I suggest for the tourney smart tweed suit with plenty Of separate hlouses; a printed silk ensemble; stunning top coat; an dan evening gown Of lace in some dark color. or black.
 Except for some very formal oc either on shipboard or off it, at which d smart tweed suit may not be worn.
 Practicality Via Tweed
 Yyonne Carettet originates q prac- ticaI suit admirably suited for travel. The tween is a charming mixture of hue brown and beige. The wide skirt flare is formed ot inverted pleatas. The tailored coat IS eX- tremely smart with deep trlangu- lar back yoke. triangular slmula- tons of pockets. in front and blue leather belt caught in front by q smart nickel buckle. at the normal Maistline. The sleeveless blouse is of white silk pique fastened with hlue and white buttons and having a swank little monogrammed pocket. Separate bloUses of various degrees Of dressiness may be carried along 10 effect as many changes in appear ance Of a tweed suit. The same thing may hA said Of hats. although that illustrated was created by .D"s- cat an lis made Of tweed in leaf pattern.
 Tor the warmer days and the warm countries. there's nothing that Will give you more genuine travel satisfaction than the silk ensemble. It is well to select one with a dark coat such as that shown with the Chanel suit skctched, Among all my spring mportations this silk suit IS proving the most in demand for travel. It has d black falle silk coat and charming one-piece frock Of printed foularde with a pattern in black and yellow. The black suede belt has q buckle Of brilliants. The two-tiercd skirt has an apron front and is founCed in the back. The blouse shows corresponding bib. The coat has q detail typical Of Chanel with the material pressed into pleaats Gike the French lIn- gerie) finished with fiat bows as q substitute for the more familiar shirring The sailor worn with It was also originated by Chanel Of rough Italian straw. and lifted from the face by bandeau of small di- mensions.
 Tn Lacy Evening Mode
 AlenCon lace has extended it's vogue from lingerie 10 the smartest possible evening frocks this spring II is an admirable selection for tourney because II does not crush in packing; IS always dressy and charming. I am illustrating most effective example in d Chanel even- ing gown developed in burgundy red alencon lace. The three tiered founces are confined to the back and are headed by flat bow. The back is extremely low and the scarf is separate from the dress. The lace belt is fastened by a jeweled buckle Of cracked glass; and bril- lants.
 And, Of course, the travel outfit must include smart top coat That sketched is Of my own creation It is of black and white tweed showing thread Of tan and is lined with tan raJah silk 10 match the one-piece frock worn under it. The collar is Of the same silk rolling oecomlngly around the neck. A large black double satin tie is threaded through the coat at the throat and gives a singularly youth 'ul touch to the ensemble. The tweed hat worn with it is a Descat creation and is caught with wooden motif al the side.
 This very smart top coat may be worn with rs own frock or with any other ensemble an dit is the sort of separate coat the traveller will find indispensable for steamer decks, for the mountains, for motoring in Eu- rope. or wherever she may have se- lected for her spring holiday.
