designed to tote. That's especially true of the Wiltshire luggage shown by
Charles Mayer's.
The Lady Wiltshire wardrobe case photographed is typical. Made of light-toned Zephyrcord with wing-tipped corners, this has hangers for four to eight jackets and dresses and a floating tray to prevent wrinkling of garments. Into the latter may go { lingerie and even small packable hats. There's also a space into which shoes may be tucked apart from other clothing.
The train case has a mirror, , tray and adjustable leather strap for anchoring cosmetic | bottles and jars. The line includes several sizes in cases— among them a combination hat 'and shoe case with : zippered ' compartments for shoes. With ; streamlined duck or navy coverings, rawhide bound, the ' pieces are available at lower i prices than the ones pictured. (Mayer's will have a demonstration of the scientific packing technique beginning Tues- . day.) | The clothes that go into.the | vacationer’s luggage, or onto | her back, also are designed for lightness in weight and comfort. The suit, “hub” of a ‘travel wardrobe, may be a. featherweight, wrinkle resist- | ing tropical worsted with a skeleton lining, like the one | pictured.
