TO WEAR ON TOUR

EFFECTIVE CLOTHES DESIGNED FOR FAIR MOTORISTS.

Furs of Every Kind and Design Are Permissible —Empire Hats Reappearing—Dinner Frock in Pale Smoke Gray.

No matter how sensitive a woman may be about wearing great bands of fur, ermine capes and foxes strung about the neck on hot days, she may throw her sensitiveness to the winds when It comes to motoring. Here she may glory In all the peltry that she wishes. Her sports suit of Jersey, woolen, rather than silk, may

be banded with fur from the knees down and the shoulders up, and she may wear fur hats as well, if she wishes. Her motor coat may be copied after

one of the smart new models, which Is of olive green velour, with a cape collar, immense cuffs and a straight panel from neck to hem of back and white fur laid In broad checks. France is wearing fur on all her August hats, from San Sebastian to Rhone valley, and America is wearing it ,on her motor hats throughout every state in the Union. She has unearthed or else bought a top coat of soft fur which she uses on cold nights, and she has even taken her muff out of camphor, sunned It a bit and included it in her motor wardrobe. She Is ready for whatever comes In the way of weather, for the shops have provided for her usage In case of rain, a London coat made of transparent oilskin, In colors plain or Iridescent This, with a hood to match, can be rolled up In a tiny case and stewed away as easily as a box of biscuits. It. is the raincoat de luxe for motoring, and it has solved the problem for the woman who can stand anything but getting wet An Interesting fact Is that second empire hats are coming out with first empire frocks. What’s history between milliners and dressmakers? They have no more hesitancy In mingling the eleventh with the twentieth century, the renaissance with the great war and 18Q9 with 1812, than the hostess of a fancy dress ball. The new second empire hats are made after the shape that the Empress Eugenie loved. The milliners often call them shepherdess hats. They are made of a soft quality of velvet, the edge bouad with ribbed ribbon.

The French draped hats are here in quantities, especially in a brilliant Vatican purple and a petunia reddish purple, but so far, the American women seem to prefer the stiff shapes which have only a bow of ribbon or a buckle for trimming. The charming dinner frock illustrated Is of pale smoke gray, made over a slip of gray satin and la trimmed with bands of sky blue ribbon. (Copyright. 1916, by the McClure Newspa* \ per Syndicate.)
