Turbans are G good bet. They
lookewell and pack beautifully and
are so inexpensive that you can
afford to have any number of
changes. Snoods are somewhat out
OF the picture as far as the millinery
world is concerned, but the little
mesh ones that tie on with a ribbon
are wonderful for keeping wayward
curls firmly in place. Coconut straws
have gained an almost phenomenal
popularity this season and they are
comfortable, cool and will stay an
chored on the head. In a neutral
color, they can be worn with sport
clothes of all types.
Color this season is lavish. AL
though the use of white is the most
widely accepted in summer attire
Tor vacation wear. Dark clothes for
the city; light ones for resort wear
still seem to be the approved
formula. Red, white and blue de-
serves three cheers in the fashion
world as we'll as in the patriotic field
and you will find the combination
extremely popular. Especially in
play clothes is this trio very much
IN evidence, although street dresses
using the colors are selling we'll. A
white frock with a red jacket and
blue belt is just as good a recipe for
daytime as evening and many of
the styles carry out the idea even
further by using the sailor collar,
white lacing and other nautical
themes.
Play clothes are gay and strictly
on the ultra-feminine side for sum-
mer, 1910. Pianafores, ballerina
skirts, very full and gathered, we'll
cut slack with high waistlines and
pleated, very f1attering shorts all add
up to the feminine influence any way
you look at it. Swim suits favor
the dressmaker silhouette with tight
bodice and f1aring skirt. Lastex suits
mold the figure successfully, while
zipper-equlpped models have done
away with the agony of struggling
In and out of swimming togs. Polka
dots and stripes, two much discussed
trends this season, appear in street
and evening clothes with as much
success as they do in play outfits,
and in either type they are not to be
ignored for fashion Importance.
Shawls, usually of thin wool and
done in bright tones, are favored
for sports wear with shorts, slacks
and play suits as we'll as with street
frocks. Parasols are not to be over
looked. They will be just as helpful
on the beach as on the boardwalk
when it comes to warding off the
harmful effects of Ole Sol
These parasols, incidentally, should
be highly favored for resort wear,
even more than they are for street
wear in town, although there seems
to be no reason why they shouldn't
be used on all occasions. Matched
to dresses they are charming, FEM
inine and, in their own way, highly
practical.
The need for a light wrap is OBJ
vious. no matter how you are going
to spend your vacation. There are
always cool evenings and even days
when light coat is welcome. One
of the best solutions to this prob
lem are the corduroy jackets being
shown in the stores now. In white
or colors, these are practical over
evening dresses or street costumes
at any time of day or night and
don't take up too much precious
space in the suitcase or trunk.
The amount of luggage you take
depends upon the length of time
you plan to be away, as we'll as the
type of place in which you intend
to spend your vacation. However,
the average two-week jaunt, whether
1t be to resort or on q cruise,
should be accommodated by a large
