Tweed Is Smart
EXCEPT for some very formal oc-
aston there is no daytime affair
-ither on shipboard or of 1t, at
which a smart tweed suit may not
be worn.
Yyonne Carette originates a prac-
tical suit admirably suited for travel.
The tweed is a charming mixture OF
blue. brown and beige. The wide
skirt flare is formed Of inverted
pleats.
The tailored coat IS extremely
smart with a deep triangular back
yoke, triangular simulations OF
pockets, and a blue leather belt
caught in front by a smart nickel
buckle, at the normal waistline.
The sleeveless blouse is Of white
silk pique fastened with blue and
white buttons and having a swank
little monogrammed pocket. Sepa-
rate blouses of various degrees OF
dreSsineSS may be carried along to
effect as many changes in appear

The same thing may be said OF
hats, although that illustrated was
created by Descat and is made of
tweed in a leaf pattern.
silk Ensemble Good
For the warmer days and The
warm countries. there's nothing that
will give you more genuine travel
satisfaction than the silk ensemble.
1t is well to select one with a dark
coat such as that shown with the
Chanel suit sketched. Among all my
spring importations this silk suit is
proving the most in demand for
travel.
It has a black faille silk coat and
a charming one-piece frock Of print
ed foularde with a pattern in black
and yellow. The black suede belt
has a buckle of brilliantS.
The two TERED skirt has an apron
front and is f1ounced in the back
The blouse shows a corresponding
bib. The coat has a detail typical Of
Chanel with the material pressed
into pleatS like the French lin

a substitute Tor the more familiar

The sailor worn with it was also
originated by Chanel, OF rough

In Lacy Evening Mode
Alencon lace has extended its
vogue from lingerie to the smartest
possible evening frocks this spring.
It is an admirable selection for
Journey because it does not crush
in packing; is always dresSy and
charming.
A Chanel evening gown is devel-
oped in burgundy-red alencon lace.
The three-tfered founceS are con-
fined to the back and are headed by
fiat 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
hrilliantS.
And, Of course, the travel outfit
must include a smart top coat. One
is Of black and white tweed showing
a. thread of tan and is lined with
tan rajah silk to match the one
piece frock worn under it. The COL
lar is OF the same silk. rolling be-
comingly around the neck. A large
black double satin tie is threaded
through the coat at the throat and
gives Singularly youthful touch to
the ensemble.
