MEANT FOR TRAVELER

DESIGNERS HAVE SUPPLIED ALL SORTS OF APPAREL. 1

One of the Handsomest of the Tourist Coats, in Tweed, Is Shown —Shepherd Checks and Plaids Also Popular. * • - . .< • - r .'.i ’

No department of woman’s dress is more complete than' that of traveling apparel, and most of the garments are, like the modeled sketch, suitable for general touring purposes, whether by motor, steamer or rail. Here the material is tan Scotch tweeds with a hair-line check in black. Plain tan cloth is used for the collar, cuffs and belt sections back and front, and plain covered buttons for further trimming. • ’ The coat is comfortably large enough to get over a suit and its lines are exceedingly graceful. Like the majority

of wraps, it is half lined. Very wide straight sleeves are set into drop shoulders and are given deep turned, back cuffs, scalloped and buttoned on the outside in a novel manner. ' The front edges above the belt are cut in square ends, which fall in a fold at either side. The right side is gathered into the short belt section, which buttons across the left side, and the material below the belt is laid in. a few folds, lifted and draped up from the hem. , ■ - .

Some scant fullness in the ..back is caught under another high belt section, buttoned to the coat at either end. : Shepherd checks and plaids arc quite as much to, be considered aq. ever, for they, like navy serge, never actually go out of style; but this year they are entirely dependent on cut and graceful hanging from the shoulders for success.. All coats, whether for separate wear or accompanying are hung from the shoulder

blades instead of the top of the flbottK der. H Is an important note, since it at once stamps the design as modern, and, moreover, is much more Graceful than the latter." . Three-quarter ’lengths are very much in order and are smart looking. All variations of the Norfolk are popular. Most of them are quite high In the neck, with good-sized turnover collars and long and very moderate-sized sleeves that finish with turnback cuffs or bands. There are always pockets in these, but instead of the patch variety, they are made inside with the outside flap serving a purely decorative purpose.—Washington Star.
