I I The winter tay-at-hom can
L : . . 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

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

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.

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

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

broidery. The sleeves have deep caps of
