ECONONY IN TRAVEL CLOTHES

Travel clothes occupy the attention of the designers as assiduously as more formal attire. It is no longer permissible to pack all one’s “bestest” clothes and make journeys in the garments that have served their various turns in heterogeneous roles. The travel costume is a toilette in itself, on which much thought and .care is expended. For women have learned to realise that much of the charm of exploration and discovery in foreign fields, or amid the unfamiliar aspects of their own country, is lost or marred if they are sartorially ill at ease. In all circumstances and on all occasions, your true woman is psychologically af-

fected by her clothes sense. Be she never so philosophical, she is not happy if she boards train or ship in a shabby suit or inappropriate coat that is reluctantly made to serve the wrong purpose. q And nowadays there is really no need to suffer the pangs of such heartbreaking economies! Travel outfits can be purchased at so modest a cost that the outlay is repaid over and over in the sense of sartorial satisfaction that enhances the pleasures of a trip abroad or at home. There are the most fascinating roughs surfaced tweeds —the ideal material for travel suits and coats —in darkish beige or lightish brown, that look beautifully smajK and do not show the dust. Kept religiously for their proper purpose, such garments will look “it” throughout their lifetime.
