V OodKe the quegtlon of dreas to IViT-"' aome extent, but with the 8im mrr Jaunt It bnnnmc a pertinent one. To tha rlrt who muat crowd her vacation within the narrow lltnlta of a fortnight. It becomes an even greater aource of anxiety. To dreaa so as to pass mtiHter with the Ray buttrflles who are prepared to Idle iwny tha whole summer, and to compress the most necessary of the contents of the tat ter's four or five trunks Into the confines of a steamer trunk, thrse are all-Important considerations. ' Whether the vacation Is to be spent nt seashore f mountains, a wool Arena la a , llrst necessity. Not only will tt serve as a traveling Butt, but It will be IndlHpensable for cool days or the morning; sail off shore. In cloudy weather the sea breeie often baa the power to pierce through cottons as If thay were ajnuse. The wool suit may have either a short or Ions; skirt, though the short skirt will prove more useful. However, the akirts which lust escape tho ground combine grscefulness of length with comfort In walking. Iong-sklrted eouts are the most fashlon abU, thoutrh many pretty suits have an Eton jacket or short HuHalan bloune. Fash ion this summer admits of a great variety of stylos Flecked wool goods seem constantly to grow In favor A Jaunty suit la of white, closely flecked with green. The skirt has a short yoke, outlined In points by an Inch wide bund of green cloth stitched In white. The cont has bing skirts. The front edges lap slightly In the front In Russian blouse fashion and era kept In place by green silk frogs. The coat Is roMarless, and on Inch wide stitched hand of the green serves for a finish around the neck and Is continued as trimming wn the front. The sleeves flure slightly at tho hand. They are fin ished by sn edging band of the green. With this Is worn a white shirt waist with a groan satin strlug tie, and a white straw sailor hat with the low French crown encircled by a preen satin twind. A sailor hat Is a most comfortable form of headgesr for either seashore wr raoun tuia. With a blue band it looks well with the bhie yachting costume, and a leather Btrp Instead of a band snakes It match with tho golden brown long-skirted cout, belted in by a leather of the same aha4e. Ulue flecked with white Is a pretty com bination for seashore wear. A suit of this material is trimmed with stitched Mae cloth. The skirt Is set In box pleats under a narrow yoke of the plain blue, elaborately stitched. The Eton jacket la faced with blue ao that the fronts may either be turned back Uke revere or crossed In double-breasted effect. The narrow turn over collar Is of blue. Shoulder capes are trimmed with a blue band edging, and the cuffs of the puff sleeves are of tha blue. It miiHt bo remembered that the plain blue in what Is called n bright metallic blue. The effect la striking. A small wooltex suit Is of ficelle cloth, bourettcd In black. The blouse Norfolk: jacket coat has the long skirt extending almost to the knees. The box pleats of the jacket are continued down this skirt. A nnrrow belt of the material shows the French curved waist line. The turn-over collar Is of black velvet, and the box pica ted, moderately loose sleeves have a deep cuff of the material. The skirt is laid In box pleuts, stitched to about six Inches of the hem, thus allowing for a flare at the bottom. The chic hat worn with this cos tume Is of champagne colored straw, trim med with black and white fiat breasts and wings. For the accompanying shirtwaist, white Is to be recommended. It la distinctly en regie, snd will not fade as will the other dullcate shades. The thin lawns and mus lins are not remarkable for their staying powers. They are apt to muss easily when damp air rubs them of their starch. The heavier linen and lace waists and those of wash silks are just as pretty and In finitely more serviceable. Lnce waists made of ctuny or antique liiHcrtion are pretty either over a corset t V v M v. 1 J iVv - kS ' t sj ; v is '. , ; , J I l f ej ' f i 'I'jl V' TV ' A SMART WOOLEN SUIT OK F1CEL.LK CIXTH. cover or a thin silk slip. The same laces are effective on the heavy white linen waists. A linen shirtwaist suit will be found use ful for morning wear. A gray linen sailor suit has the Bfclrt in triple flounces, each edged by a half-inch band of dark blue linen. The sailor waist has a deep sailor collar of the blue and Is worn without a dickey. The front of the waist is trimmed with stitched bands of the blue linen, running up and down at In tervals of two Inches apart. The box pleat down the front is of the blue, as Is alno the linen tie which Is knotted at the point of the V-neck. The full sleeves are trimmed with stitched bands of the blue, running up and down, and the turnback cuffs are of the blue. A narrow blue belt and a gray silk parasol with polka dots of the blue complete a cool costume. The same plan might be followed with a white duck. The contrast of the blue bands would be even prettier. The vacation girl should never be with out a parasol. Silk of some vivid hue is the best It will always make a bright spot of color and give a certain touch of Individuality to the owner. The parasols of lace and chiffon are not suitable for every occasion, and are to be tabooed If only one Is to bo selected. A lien coat, in the Ioohc hip length mo.lel, will be found very useful. It can be trim- Don'ts Regarding Wrinkles rM"T liuliilm In the bric-a-brao Dl habit; it Is responsible for more I wrinkln and crow's-feet than age or illness. Don't scorn to learn of an al mond-eyed Japanese the secret of retaining a smooth, unfurrowed face. The secret la that she displays nothing In the drawing room croept a lovely flower and a screen. Don't get tired if you care to prejirrve thu pristine beauty of a rose-leaf complex ion. Don't shop that Is, don't shop the whole day long lu feverish excitement, running bargains to earth. Not only are dress and temper ruined, but complexions as welL Don't wear gloves too new or too old. New ones cause wrinkles because of their newness; old ones hecsuse of their want of rexectabllity. Glovee are worn too much any wny. D:n't always be doing something; have Intermittent attacks of Idling. Don't neglect the afternoon "forty winks." If you -bm't rest your mirror will Bhow a new line In your face very day. Doa't attempt to acquire all tha aocone plishments, attend all the receptions, the aters and lectures, and sell tickets for all the benefits unless you want to be old and wrinkled before your time. Don't sleep with the hand under the cheek; It will numb and wrinkle the ski:. Don't let the Jaw drop Just at the mo ment of falling asleep; It tends to make lines on either side of the mouth. Don't use powder on the face. It works Its wsy Into every line and digs It deeper and deeper. Don't be afraid f friction for the face; freshness Is prolonged by the tepid bath In which bran has buen stirred, followed by long friction. This keeps the blood at the surface. Don't Indulge In the essentially feminine habit Of "knitting the brow;" take life less strenuously. Don't always be thinking of aoiretblng. Sometimes think of nothing. Dort't get wildly excited If Bridget his neglected to dust the legs of the hall table. Neither the welfare of your family nor thai of the nation Is Involved. med with lace insertion or bands of a con trasting color and will stand a deal of wear before it shows signs of soiling- Pastel blue linen makes a pretty coat It is unllned, but body Is given to It XT pleats running up and down at dose In tervals. The neck Is cut in a slight V In the front and finished by a deep, rounded cape collar under a shallow square turn over. The cape collar t trimmed with alternate bands of white linen and black velvet, studded with groups of small but tons and narrowing off toward the throat. Within these runs u line of hand em broidery worked In black and white silks. The turnover collar and the narrow cuffs are of the linen, bordered by bands of whlto linen and similarly embroidered. The sleeves puff slightly sbove the loose cuff. This coat looks well with a black lace or mull hat. For the afternoon promenade or the even ing hop the vacation girl should have one or two thin frocks. They may be of wash materiul. The most charming of patterns and colorings may be obtained in the cheaper wash materials. If fashioned after Homo pretty model, they will be Just as effective as the more expensive creations in Bilk or chiffon. Indeed, the summer girl owes much of her charm to her simplicity, bo It real or affected. A dainty organdie has an all-over pattern In pale bluta and greens. Tho skirt Is set frcm belt to hem in three-inch bands of Bhlrring six Inches apart. The waist has a threc-li.cn bund of shirring outlining tha square neck. lUlow this it is trimmed with Insertions of lace dyed to a dull blue shade. These run lengthwise, with bands of Ihe pl-iin organdie left between theui. At the head of each band la a cluster bow of nar row green Batln rlbixMi, with long ends hanging to the waist line. The wide satin celnture la in the same shade. The sleeves fall lu high puffs to the ellniw, whore tbey are finished by a handkerchief ruffle, trimmed with the lace Insertion. A Blmple white frock is of dotted muslin trimmed with embroidered Bouncings. The skirt is made of thrte Koant flounces. It la finished around the top by several rows of shirrings. which meet ehirrlnfis on ths waist and give a princtss effect. Sine the Mrcss Is Intended to be washable, the waist is stiffened with featherhonlrig In stead of whalebone. Its most striking feature Is the deep round cspe collar, made of alternate strips of flourelng and shtr rings. It reaches almost to the waist line. Tho high collar and shallow rounded yoke are of shirring and narrow strips of em broidery. The sleeves have deep caps of shirring, below which they are made of the flouncing and fall In puffs over the deep cuffs, which are made In the same manner as the yoke. HARRIET HAWLET.
