Well Equipped for a Long Tour

NOW that the season lures everyone to the out-of-doors those fortunate ones with cars and time at their disposal think of touring the country over. And the young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of crossing a continent or so, accompanied by his enthusiastic women relatives. For no journey is too long for those who love the open country. For a long tour, or a short one, the plain-ample coat shown here may be accepted as the best effort' of a Paris house, of unquestioned authority. It could not be plainer in finish and is cut with a view to the comfort of the wearer and elegance of line. There are many fabrics suited to a cote of this character. Water-proofed worsteds, pongees,. Sicilians and cheviots are available. The weight and

warmth are matters' for the individual to settle. The coat is double-breasted, fastened with bone buttons.' It reaches from the neck to the floor, escaping by only on inch. The plainness of the coat is relieved by a short scarf of figured-silk, which is an accessory and not a part of the coat The bonnet, of crepe, fastened with a buckle of chiffon, is draped with a very long veil of washable chiffon, which falls nearly to the bottom of the coat It is finished with a narrow hem at. each end, with the selvage edges left unhemmed at the sides. . "Such an .outfit promises the greatest degree of comfort and a neat appearance for the longest journey. It is refreshingly simple and pleasing to the eye.
