Show Travel Prints Are Talk of Town By CHERIE NICHOLAS i h" c$k yy II y h4A M &trVf 1 t lilillflilll ySk 17'ITH the back-to-the-city move- ment, which soon will be bringing bring-ing wandering vacationists into an en- vironment of schoolroom, office and campus, comes the urge for something stunning and thoroughly practical to wear during the busy autumn days. There is no doubt about the answer to this call for a chic and serviceable "first" fall costume. All fashiondom Is proclaiming tne good news about y the dress or jacket-suit made of the new travel prints (some call them "city prints") which do not wrinkle or crush and which are patterned In the most fetching colors one may ever hope to see. And are they trig looking? They are just that. So much so that to fail to yield to their lure is to lost an opportunity to look dressed at one's smartest during the daytime hours. The colors of these handsome travel prints are planned for service at the same time that they reflect the rich' autumnal tones and tints which fascinate fas-cinate the eye. They are expressed In terms of gay plaids, checks, novelty strips and tweedlike effects which are typical of the fall mode. Almost without exception every one-piece one-piece dress has its own jacket. Then, too, they are tailored in a towD way and this adds to their swank. Cunning Cun-ning retails mark their styling, such as a tri-color scarf collar or a bolero jacket which ties at the front in a soft bow in a manner as illustrated to the left in the picture. The clever little pockets which pose abreast of this bolero are swagger, too, as is also the skirt with its carefully stitched pleats and its pointed yoke. Any maid or matron will enjoy wearing this cool sleeveless dress (the sleeves are mere caps) right now, and with its jacket for months to come. The companion costume shown in the picture is likewise intriguing. It is blue, that is its predominating color is blue, although a medley of hues are subtly introduced in its patterning. The mode of wearing white accessories acces-sories is followed in the pleated white mousseline collar and frills, also the white kid and gauntlet gloves. It is possible to get these prints In as modest tones as one may desire, the checks and plaids and Intermingled i effects being worked out to a nicety in prevailing tones of red, brown, green, rust, navy or black. Of course, these nifty costumes of travel silk prints will be topped off with chapeaux which announce a revo-lutioriary revo-lutioriary change in the millinery program, pro-gram, in that the new hats are small and are worn with a roguish tip-tilt over-the-eye manner which is proving most interesting and becoming. 1931.
