“TRAVELLING LIGHT.”

“TRAVELLING LIGHT.”

The smart summer hat that slips in the coat pocket, the jumper suit, fashioned to the latest dictates of the Paris mode, that is carried in the vanity bag—these are two striking features of holiday dress which will enable the summer girl to. break ; all records in the modern art of “travelling light.” < ■ The hat, / a charming creation in cerise crinoline, bound with grosgfam ribbon, that is the trimming craze of the hour, crunches up as easily as a pocket-handkerchief, and occupies so small a space that it does not even impair the slender silhouette of the wearer when she slips it into her coat pocket. At the journey’s ehd the pocket bat emerges looking as though it had travelled in the old indulgent way, enveloped in tissue-paper wrappings in a milliner’s hat-box.; The dressmaker not to be outdone by the milliner, has produced the hand-bag jumper suit. This is made of fine stockinette, in the favourite, shades of the hour. The skirt has inverted pleats, and the jumper, cut on the straight lines as now worn, has long sleeves. The whole suit rolls up into such small dimensions that it can be carried in a woman's ordinary handbag.
