Vacation time doesn't call for a
complete wardrobe but it often calls
for the addition of a number OF
things.
It may be coat-the kind that
would flatter all figure types. You'll
find them in white woolens, and in
pique and other cotton materials.
You might like to buy yours in the
cluster, version and be able to
wear it over just about everything
in your vacation wardrobe. Or you
might prefer the short, fiared-back
coat In either white or a bonbon
pastel shade.
For travelling to your destination,
think about wool knits. These trim
outfits pack and travel exceptionally
well. You'll find wool knits in plain
knitted fabrics or in stripes, checks
and plaids. Lovely muted summer
shades that take to variety Of
accessories are to be found around
town.
You are wise to think of travelling
in something dark. Dark clothes
are less apt to show dirt and
wrinkles. The Palm Beach suit in
navy, Indian bronze, black, brown
or dark green is an excellent choice,
not only for travelling but later on
for wear at your vacation spot.
Another Combination.
Another wearable combination is
the print dress with the wool coat.
The dress you can also use for after
moons and the coat will be an in
eispensable item for evenings.
, If you are a tennis enthusiast
you'll be happy to know that the
tennis dress you've been wanting
the one with the pleats-is now
available. Both tennis and golf
dresses are cut with action-bac
to give needed freedom.
The covered-up look is apparent
N the beaches. You'll be wise to
remember that too much sun doesn't
do you or your tan any good. If you
are anticipating extra-curricular &C
tivities such as beach-ball, take
along q long -sleeved MILDLY blouse
which will help cover you up and
keep your tan under cover. Or If a
MILDLY isn't to your liking, tuck in a
T-shirt that will be color signal on
a crowded vacation shore. These
shirts come In pale pink, yellow,
royal and white. Bask in the sun,
but don't bake! Get dark glasses

If you don't take proper precautions.
Materials this summer are better
than they have been for years.
You'll note the return of sharkskin,
st. George cotton, tissue gingham,
calico, mems shifting, white pique,

tically woven and resembles the
famed Egyptian long fibered cotton

dresses and even matching hats are
made of this new cloth. With COT

be wearing smaller, and thinner
belts.
Shorts Are Longer.
Where playclothes enter the pic
