On Cruise

ABOARD S. S. SANTA PAULA.
This cruise bristles with ex.
citement. Passengers are expe-
riencing a new kind of travel
atmosphere. Instead of the
usual pleasure bound, we have.
for instance, the Rt. Rev.
GIUSEPPE Misuraca, the new
archbishop to Venezuela; q
Spanish dancer from a New
York night club. a contingent
of trades and professional men
going TO work on airplane con-
struction in Trinidad, doctors,
editors, etc.
And this picture brings about
change in dress.
First of all, it is much easier
to dress for cruise today than
ever before. Instead of buying
a complete wardrobe for deck
wear, travellers, business-bent.

your wardrobe will be more
practical.
Here, for instance, is what
happens to you:
Going Abroad
Going aboard, you start the
cruise in your travel suit or
town ensemble. If there's Q
preference, wear the lighter
color. Turbans are the most
practical headgear. They stay

first night.
Second Day Out
Second day out from New
York is still cool, and you may
put on your wool or cashmere
sports dress. A good substitute
is a wool skirt and sweater
even the skirt of your tweed
suit will suffice. Pressing aboard
boat is done quickly at average
prices.
Actually after the second day.
you will wear Summer sports
dresses of ginghams, linens, spun
rayons, celanese jerseys, sheer
crepes, etc. The checked .Dr
striped dresses you have worn
to the office during the Sum-
mer will be fine.
Take scarfs and bandeaus for
the hair, and sports or canvas
shoes for deck. Light-colored

designated for shore travel only
are worn in small conventional
patterns in crepes, or In gay

Dinner Clothes
You dress every night for
dinner, excepting the first night
out and the night you return
late from shore excursions. This
is not obligatory, however, and
some of the ladies on this cruise
prefer sheer and dressy after

You will seldom need wrap
or coat, but take one for emer-
gencies. Young people take at
least four dinner dresses, In.

Men rarely ever wear their
= formal dinner suits. Many wear
white. cream-colored. light blue
