NEW YORK, May 27.-Pick your
travelling clothes right and you
won't pack up any troubles for
yourself in the little old kit bags.
There is science to this thing
called travelling. If you pick your
clothes along the right lines, you
can look smart, be in a holiday
mood all the while, and wear no
frowns from worrying about this
or that.
But you must be smart to do it.
Or else careful. Planning turns the
trick.
In the first place, no matter how
hot it is today, remember in travel
ing you will need some cookbook
ing outfit that won't need press
ing eternally. Lightweight woods
answer this prayer.
Tweeds Are Good Bet
Lacy tweeds, sheer georgette wool
ems, knitted things fine as spider
webs, soft, plain woolens Of feather
weight properties all have gilt
edged chic security. They feel light,
don't scream for the pressing iron
every five minutes and promise and
deliver smartness whenever you don
them.
You will need, then, at least one
elegant looking, highly serviceable,
fattering travelling outfit in wool
Suit, frock and coat or four piece
ensemble. It depends on how much
cash you have on hand and what
you have to fill in with.
Three varied types of this service
able type of costume are shown.
First comes the outfit nearest fash
ions heart this year, the little trot-
teur suit. This one is in blue not a
navy, yet not light enough to make
you tired of it.
Coat Fits Snugly
1t has a skirt that is cut in point
ed sections, beautifully tailored. It's
coat fits Snugly, is conservatively
hip length with just the right nip
in at the waistline, and soft scarf
of its own material that can loop
over once at the v front or be worn
open, as shown.
If you take this type of suit,
word about blouses. It's own blouse
is white crepe, with blue buttons
that match the suit. Add a crisp
organdie blouse or a fine net one.
And add one sweater blouse. With
these three you can do wonders
about being chameleon and look
fresh as a daisy all the time.
Hats, too, should be doubled up.
You can pack two where last year
you could pack one, they are so COL
lapsible. One white, one blue, and
even one red, to make the scheme
highly patriotic.
FOur-Piece Ensemble Smart
Next comes what I consider the
most satisfactory story of all travel
ing basic costumes. It is the four
piece ensemble, skirt, blouse, jacket
and topcoat. This one is of new
lightweight gray tweed that is soft
as chiffon, sheer as crepe Elizabeth.
1t has lovely little gored skirt,
smart as creation, a tuck-in blouse
with tiny cap sleeves and a multi
tude of fine tuckS and touches of
light green in its pipings.
The jacket is strictly tailor-made
with an Ascot scarf of the mate
rial. The topcoat is raglan sleeved,
cut to make anyone swagger and
reaches clear to the bottom of the
suit.
With this all accessories shown are
green, shoes, gloves, purse and ador-
able little hat with it's brim aslant.
1t has gray grosgrain and green rib
bon on it and sticks a pert gray and
green feather up on one side in
challenging manner.
BY all means take an entire
change of accessories, perhaps
French blue set, with a white
blouse. Or you could go very, very
gay with a pretty plaid red and
gray chiffon blouse and red and
gray accessories.
It's Jaunty Outfit
Last, and most unusual, is the
new four-piece ensemble that has a
white frock, flannel waistcoat of
color and long, handsome, prac-
teal topcoat.
This suit uses the new white wool
frock for its base, and a tricky one
it is with hand-work to finish its
hem, its cute collarless neckline and
short sleeves. The jaunty double
breasted waistcoat is orange.
The topcoat is the new lively
brown that summer is counting. And
the hat is to match, with bit of
orange in it.
Given the right base to build your
travel wardrobe on and your prob
lens are half solved. Every one of
these has its good points. All can
double up to make you several
costumes.
