The woman emerging from her hotel every morning, fresh, dainty and CpOl in white linen, with white hat and veil, white parasol r.nd stockings, will probably enjoy her day much more i man the practical minded "tripper" who has merely brushed the dust of yesterday fTOJpl her sturdy blue serge and donned one of her dark, intensely practical Bilk blouses. For the consciousness con-sciousness that she Is looking fresh and charming goes a long way to make woman feel fresh and charming, no matter how weary she actually la Footwear a Most important Consideration. Consid-eration. One word of warning! Do not provide pro-vide black shoes for sightseeing hours, and above all, do not wear black stockings, stock-ings, if you are unwilling to wear shoes of white buckskin, have tan calf ones. Both sorts may be had in comfortable com-fortable yet good looking models with the prevailing long lines and heels broad enough to support the weight. Ask for sport boots when you make your footwear purchaser for the Imposition; Im-position; boots that aro by no means clumsy or ugly, but which are slightly mannish In suggestion, with sensible soles that will keep your foot fr,.m weariness, and a trimming of stitching and perforated leather that makes for prettlness. it will be best to wear laced boots that come above the ankle. Experienced sightseers know lhat pumps or low shoes, no matter how comfortable when first donned, offer no support to the ankles and after several hours one feels much more tired than would be the case were the ankh s supported and kept from swelling swell-ing by laced boots. ii .. mizz Li Thero will be luxurious wheeled ! -hairs a-plenty at the Exposition for women who can afford them, and she who sightsccs from one of these de- ! Ilghtful equipages need not worry ibout tired feet and swollen ankles. , She may wear patent leather pumps, an' she will, or high-heeled slippers; but If .there Is much walking to be done, easy-fitting, laced boots of tan calf or white buck will be the best choice. The Question Of Luggage. The trunk packed full of clothes for wear In California, will not bo opened until one's destination is reached; so la rather roomy suitcase will have to be carried along with wearables for the Journey. If one plans to stop en route, a small steamer trunk may be taken In addition to the regular dress trunk which holds tho California wardrobe: but it Is always wisest to confine one's self to a single trunk, for delay and loss of baggage are lots likely to occur w'hen the single trunk : carried along beside the driver of cab or taxi and one's belongings are kept in sight. For the train Journey provide changes of lingerie, fresh blouses and a soft silk kimono not too conspicuous In color A fresh blouse for every' morn-inc morn-inc will bo none too generous a provision, pro-vision, for railroad traveling in midsummer mid-summer Is not conducive to daintiness of appearance unless one is well sup-lied sup-lied with changes. Six blouseB of tub silk or soft, fine batiste and a well cut separate skirt of mixed worsted, or poplin, will be found a better equlp-menl equlp-menl for the railroad trip than a silk frock which, however dainty and cool It may o(Jk at the start will surely become draggled and untidy after a couple of days of traveling by train. Slnoe a coat of any sort will be of Tanle for CfccsstonHlTec3Uviue'3 Comfolnble fttdalifafpm impossible in the Pullman, and onlj tho skirt of a smart tailored suit would see the light of day from beginning to end of the journey, the wise woman will not bother with a wool tailored suit at all but will save space by I wearing a separate skirt with cool I blouses and carrying a good looking j top-coat, or sport-coat which may be slipped on whenevor there is need. An admirable traveling costume of this typo is pictured. Tho coat is of ver j light tan covert cloth and is simple I and comfortable in line with raglan sleeves and fullness at the back controlled con-trolled by a broad, buttoned belt Tho collar fastens close to the throat but the fronts of the coat may be unbuttoned unbut-toned and turned back to form revers and an open neck if desired. This coat accompanies a smart tailored skirt of serge. In flare cut, and in the ( abbreviated length now fashionable. The hat Is a new high-crowned panam.i wound with a plaid silk pugaree and washable white gloves complete the costume. Another picture shows Miss New ! York In an attractive costume of dark silk, with a small hat, easy to pack. I which she will wear on special oc-I oc-I caslonH when something moro Impressive Impres-sive than the traveling garb is required I for Instance on an afternoon when she takes tea aboard one of Uncle Sam's big men-of-war anchored oiT the Exposition grounds, or on some ' other equally festive occasion. This costume is practical as well as attractive attrac-tive As will be sen. It may be packed , without injury. There are no trim-I trim-I inlngs which require pressing, and the chemisette and flare collar of net can be whipped out In a twinkling and a fresh one inserted. The frock is of taupe colored pussy willow taffeta which shakes free of creases tho mlnuto it is lifted from a trunk. Tho pleated skirt Is attached to a yoke at the hip, but the wide I box-pleats fall softly without pressing with a hot iron. The bodice is very : simple, opening over a chemisette of cream net The graceful necktie-scarf necktie-scarf of putty colored faille, with Its border of taupe ostrich is a separate attachment, donned as a dress-accessory, for on some days the ostrich -trimmed scarf would be a bit too warm for comfort. With this useful taupe taffeta frock, Miss New York wears a pretty little hat of taupe mi Ian faced with taupo taffeta like the frock, and trimmed flatly with green leaves and two pink roses; a little hat that can be wrapped wrap-ped In tissue paper and laid in a trunk tray among soft bits of finery without fear of Injury.

Back to considerations of practicality practical-ity goes Miss New York in another picture which shows her dressed for a day at the Exposition She wears in this instance a belted coat and severely tailored skirt of gray-blue linen, the coat smartened by huge cuffs and a very odd, turned down rever of white linen. White buckskin footwear and a broad-brimmed shady hat of blue faille silk add the finishing touches to a most pleasing morning I SilkTaiUeuTva 0tTHlVfcy Corpecl , i I costume. Tho coat has a panel down the front with buttons and buttonholes at both edges, and the top of this panel, faced with white linen, turns dow n to make the unusual rever which adds so much style. The skirt has buttons but-tons and buttonholes at either side of tho front and Is clrculir-gored In ihnpe. The hit, of dark blue faille is made over a light frame, and Is j buttonholed at the edge and on the crown with white worsted. There is a white worsted pompon at the back a very smart hat this, and one de- j llghtfully light and comfortable. I In her stunning tallleur of whlt I taffeta. Miss New York looks both cool and dainty, and ready for a special occasion lunch at a smart restaurant perhaps. Such a tailleur as this is j I only for special wear, but it will clean j beautifully when need arises, and Is JB eool as a breeze for wear on the most torrid day Its fre-h smartness Is augmented by the white hat faced with black, white gloves with black stitch-lng, stitch-lng, black and w hite parasol and black boots with white kid gaiter tops. Miss New York 111 Provide For Social So-cial Affairs Also. It Is not to be supposed that Miss t New York will Journey to the Exposl- L Hon and back without paying a fe lslts en route, and she will very likely have frii ads in California who will de- I niand a week-end or so of her time. jl So something besides tailored cos- f turnes must bo carried along for these , M special occasions No modern woman travels an v where without a dance f frock, all ready to slip Into if oppor- f tunity arises, for no one ever knows 1 when there may be a chance to do the new steps. The dance-frock which Miss New York will take to California Mi her is suitable for a big evening . lffalFi 0i because of Its style and its i sleeves for an afternoon dance. It f. La made of very pale pink faille with pipings and facings of white satin and frogs of silver cord. Tho tucker and i puffed sleeves of Victorian type, are I of white tulle over pink tulle. This charming frock will be carried In a j special pasteboard box which will fit In the trunk-tray and which will hold f also the pink dancing slippers and flat I shepherdess hat of pink silk. fc MlSS New York plans to wear thin f frocks at the Exposition on very warm j afternoons. Though so dainty in ma- t terlal the frock of broderlo Anglala and ' white handkerchief linen is formal J enough for out-of-door wear and j formality Is added by the dark hat and the sash of black and rich blue ribbon. |
