A Mans S Basic Outfit for a
Two Weeks Vacation

Here's a wardrobe that will
see you through two weeks al
most anywhere. It must be
varied, of course. according to
whatever sport you're going to
indulge in, and according to
where you go. But for most men,
these clothes will do.
Start with a woolen suit. A
blue or gray serge, flannel or
tropical worsted will do, and it
needn't be new. the one you
wore in spring and early summer
is quite all right. You will need
it for travelling, and for dark
days which occur almost any,
where. The cooler this suit is
for most climates, the better.
Sports Coat Useful
Add a sports coat, Norfolk
style, bi-swing jacket. double
breasted, or merely one that
takes it's distinction from it's fab
ric, which you'll wear with any
other odd trousers you happen
to have, with white flannels or
ducks, with the trousers to your
dark suit.
We suggest one pair of white
flannels, two pairs of duck
trousers, and one pair Of odd
slacks. This will give you enough
for most places, even if you're
not near a tailor and haven't
much opportunity to be fresh
ened up.
Your Hat Wardrobe
One straw hat, sennit straw,
panama or leghorn will be cool
for travelling and for street wear.
One felt hat for rainy days is
necessary. It can be the kind
that rolls up, if you prefer. You
may need cap if you're driving,
or a tennis or golf hat if you go
in for those sports.
Sweaters come in handy, in

BY WILMA LAVILLE

After several years of backless
gowns, backless tennis dresses
and bathing suits, after years
of ugly backs, it's occurred to
me that something might be
done about it. So I've gone in
vestigating, and have the follow
ing article to submit. It's an
interview with an EN- n n t
beauty specialist, and it ought
to help most of us!
when you turn your back on
the world, be sure it is beauti-

ing suits lose their allure when
they disclose scrawney or too
thickly upholstered S h ould e r.
blades, a pad of fat at the neck,
or the deep S curve in the spine
at the waistline.
Good Posture Needed
Good posture, and careful
habits of sitting and standing
are necessary if you want beau
tifully modelled shoulders and
q straight, strong back. If you
have been careless, here are
some exercises that will not only
promote beauty of the back, but
give you greater grace and sup
pleness, and improve your
health generally:

almost any chine. one .ugnG"
weight wool turtle neck, and
one V neck pullover should be
sufficient, the pullover to wear
under your sports coat if you
need it, and the turtle neck to
wear after tennis or golf.
Shoes for Sports
You'll need black shoes to
wear with your wool suit, one
pair of all-white shoes for your
sports clothes, golf shoes, and
tennis shoes if you play either
or both. Socks are pretty much
according to what you like, but
two pairs black silk, two navy
blue and two fancy or sports
types should be enough. One
belt for your dark suit, and
one white or sports belt for
your light trousers will be
needed too.
If you are not in an isolated
spot with laundry hard to have
done, six white shirts should
be enough, with two sports
shirts of striped flannel,
madras, or some other equally
informal material. You'll need
anywhere from two to a dozen
neckties, according to your
taste and where you are. You'd
better take some bows and
some four.in-hands, for variety.
One swimming outfit should
be enough, unless you're going
to the beach where an extra
suit is a great comfort. Don't
forget beach robe and beach
shoes. Tennis sneakers can
double for the latter.
You can take evening clothes
If you need them, but few
summer vacations call for them.
The new Palm Beach tuxedo
outfit is nice, and will be for
NAL enough practically any.

Shirtwaist Frocks
In Prints

Most of us think of shirtwaist
dresses as necessarily made Of
seersucker, gingham, mems shirt
ing or striped silk. The sturdier
materials seem suited to the
tailored lines of the frocks.
That's true. But they can be
lovely in softer fabrics, too.
Shopping yesterday, I saw
some of the Smartest dresses
I've seen so far, made Of ex.
tremely fine and soft printed
cotton in broken dot design, red
with black and white dots, or
navy with red and white fig
ureS.
There was the usual tailored
collar, but in addition a soft
frill down the front. The ef-
feet was tailored, but slightly
feminine, too, and very pleas
ing.
The Navy Won
AS for me, / couldn't resist
them, as they were but $3.95.
It was hard to choose between
the vivid red, which was about
as cheerful a frock as I've ever
seen, though in good taste, for
1t would be grand for Sundays
at home, and the navy, which
would be better at the office.
I almost bought both, but de-
cided on the navy. Now I con-
slider it the most practical dress
Of my whole wardrobe.
There were some other ma
terials made in equally tailored
fashion that looked well. The
striped seersuckers, of better
quality and more unusual weave
than usual, had zippers to close
them, were well made, very
smart. They were the same
price,, They all come in misses
sizes. Y

because it's hard to make a d.
viding line in our delightful city
of washington. I
At any rate, light and dark
combinations are smart, here,
and it doesn't matter which
way you do it. The variations
are limitless. You can wear a
dark dress or a printed dress
with a coat of white linen, or
white pique, flannel, silk or any,
thing else that happens to so
with that particular dress.
Velveteen Coat
Likewise you can be ex.
tremely smart with dark coat
or jacket over white or light
dress. Harper's Bazaar makes
good suggestions, such as a
loose dark amber velveteen coat
over a light honey silk dress.
The same fabrics would be
good in other colors, such as
beetroot velveteen over very
pale pink or white or blue, or
green over white or yellow, or
sapphire blue over pale blue or
white.
Then they show a red tie silk
coat, belt and scarf over a
white dress. Such a combina-
ton Immediately suggests that
if you buy or make a coat, tie
and belt of tie silk in any dark
or vivid color it can be worn
over any white or creamy dress
with great success and effect.
Odd Pieces Used
For the light over dark" en-
Sembles they show a suit of
Patou's with the coat of nat
ural shantung, and the skirt
of dark navy. There's a red
tie silk scarf to complete the
color scheme, and it's extremely
smart. Doesn't that give you
an idea of what to do what
any dark skirt and light jacket
you may have? I'm going down
town right away and get a
navy skirt and red scarf to
wear with a white linen tai
lored jacket that have.
Again the smart magazine
shows a brown and white print
dress with a white pique coat.
This is not so surprising, but
to some of us it offers a sug-
gestion for using a white pique
coat left from last summer. 1t
will go we'll with any white
and" print. White and navy,
white and brown, white and
black, white and red, white and
paStel-any of them are smart
with a white coat for street,
luncheon or afternoon.

Prince Of Wales
Wears CAPS.

There's been quite a bit of
argument pro and con ever since
the Prince of Wales was sup
posed to remark that he in
tended to wear caps instead Of
straw hats this summer.
To follow through on the
story, it seems that he is wear
ing both. Pictures of him have
come through wearing straw
hats, pictures are available of
the prince in caps. Some of the
caps are patterned of the same
fabric as his sports clothes.
Some are plain, but worn with
patterned sports clothes.

Feet are unattractive. One
pair out of every dozen is good
looking, or + might say, even
passible. When women lounge
around on the beaches-or
around swimming pools in the
ummer-most of them wear
sandals, or some form of beach
shoes. Well, why shouldn't
men? Their feet are even more
unsightly.
Away over the weekend, saw
two men who apparently re-
allied this fact. At any rate,
one of them wore sandals with
crudely fashioned leather soles
and striped blue and red cotton
tops. There were braided cords
to tie them up. The other san.
dalS had Soles made of trans
verSal Stats of white wood. The
tops were of woven straw, very
attractive. I inquired and found
that they (the SandalS) come
from the Pyrenees. At any rate,
they have an interesting "peas.
ant" flavor.
Mike McConihe affects an in
teresting careleSsness in dress.
While he was waiting for a
charming young lady the other
evening, had a chance to study
his appearance. He had on one
of those cool looking gabardine
coats in a gray-green, made Nor
folk jacket style. He wore white
f flannel trousers, brown and
white sports shoes and a green
tie.
j i'm m e Nolan goes in for
white linen coats and blue shirts
in a big way. He always looks
immaculate.
Senator Townsend, of Della
ware, is noted for his blue
shirts. I am told that he is
practically seen in nothing else.

SOFT FULLNESs

sleeves and there is narrow

Sports Bdnddnnd
Coming In

Two pictures on our page to-
day prove the smartnesS of the
sports bandanna. It's been
worn in Hollywood for some
time, but is just beginning to
be seen here.
Out there the men wear them
about the lot between scenes
nearly all the time. Whenever
you see a group of men, actors,
direc tors, extras. anybody,
you'll see at least two or three
gay scarfS or bandannas. ScarfS
are worn somewhat the same
way, in fact are worn for sports
sometimes, but are not seen
about the studios as much as
bandannas.
Bright CoIOrs Best
Men can choose their favorite
colors and combinations, though
the plain old cotton bandanna
colors seem the best and the
most popular. These new
squares are of silk, which is
much softer to the neck, and
better looking. They're a trifle
larger too, so you'll be sure of a
good knot.
The bandanna worn by the
Washington man in the strip of
pictures at the top of this page
looks particularly we'll with his
navy wool polo shirt. These
soft woolen shirts are popular
for golf these days, and are
also seen on the beach, are
pulled on after tennis, and oc-
casionally are used for very in
formal riding. Like other polo
shirts, they find the majority of
this use in other sports than
polo.
Notice the leather belt this
man wears too. It's of white
soft-grained leather with a black
design, and is only 81. The
blue jersey polo shirt is $3.50,
and the bandanna $3.50. They
are all available in a local store.
For the name Of the store
showing these articles, call Beau
.McAllister at District 1000. .. ..

from its executive committee to
eliminate day and all-night park
ing within its territory.
The report opposed using public
highways for garages. Parked
cars create increase fire hazards,
prevent cleaning of streets, block
access to homes, and present an
unsightly effect upon the streets
of the Nations Capitol.
Parking in the vicinity of pub.
lie gatherings or social functions,
the report stated, should be gov.
erned by temporary regulations.
Loading places should be assigned
in each block for business purposes
only.

With the possible exception Of
one or two connecting links, he
