ANY a young woman has the M style of her wedding dress and the color of her brides- maids' frocks definitely decided upon before she has determined the name of the bridegroom. And most women—~young and old—— begin to plan their holiday ward— robes before they know just when or where they are going for their vacations. It is rather pleasant in mldwinter with gray skies over- ead to begin planning Just what sort of frocks and hate you will have for your next holiday trips. Of course something will depend on the ways of spring and summer fashions. but your plans need he only tentative. You review the Wardrobe you had for last sum- mer's vacation and the one before that, and your experience helps you'in planning for the next. Per- hope you make a few preliminary purchases and prepare an slab- orate lint of the things that you feel you must have to make an- other summer‘s vacation thor~ oughly enjoyable. You Need New Things Then when the actual vacation is at hand everything seems quite different. The sort of frock you had thought of as suitable for golf and tennis on your vacation simply won't do at all. It is hope- lessly out of fashion. Your list of accessories needs complete editing. Several of last season's tracks you had thought would do "as is"-—-—whereas viewed in the bright light of this June. one of them won’t do at all and the others will need complete making over. The woman of very plentiful means leads a sort of holiday ex- istence all the year round. and of course she knows nothing of this yearly thrill over the prospect of a summer vacation and a vacation wardrobe. Yet it is usually from the clothes worn by these women of wealth that the women who must spend cautiously take their cue in matters of dress. But if you want to have your wardrobe satisfactory, and you haven‘t a millionaire's income, then be sure to modify these fashions to suit your own particular requirements. As often as possible select frocks that answer for two different. pur- poses—~a coat that will do for eve- ning and afternoon as well. a ten- nis frock that will do .for golf. a trareling top coat that will answer \ \:\ First the Top (‘ont This top coat ought to be one of your first considerations. It may be that you have already prev cured one. If not do not consider it an extravagance. for the coat you may select now for tie pur- pose will do for a general utility coat all during the remainder of the summer and autumn. Avoid dark color or solid dark weave for this purpose. Navy blue serge or twill is not as good a selection as some sort of tweed in light neutral tones. The coat need not be expensive. so long as it is straight in cut, of fairly good ma- terial and is made to fit well. Even an inexpensive coat. of th‘ls descrip- tion takes on an air of distinct smartncss when it fits with un- usual precision. it is worth while paying a tailor for slight altera- tions in order to secure perfect fit over the shoulders, around the hips and in the sleeves for a ready- made coat. The only other wrap that you will actually need is a coat or caps to do for evening and afternoons. White coats are coming rapidly into favor for this purpose. the simplest being Plain tailor-made coats of white cloth which depend on some sort of scarf at the neck for completion. The wide band of for around the hem—~~ail around or across the front—gains style possibly at the expense of perfect comfort in warm weather. Select Straight Flannel Coat You may ho able to make a last season's swente or sport jacket answcr the purpose. if you want something a little dit'i'orcnt from anything seen last year then by all means get one of the little straight~lined. tailored. flannel coats of hip length. This may be used in connection with a sport skirt to make an attractive com~ pose effect that will serve in lieu of a two-piece stilt. One young woman who has recently as- sembled a very good—looking vaca- tion wardrobe at. not very great expense has a two-piece sports frock of gray flannel, trimmed with bands of navy blue at the neck and hips. Tho skirt is one of the short. straight sort that would be vcry scant if it were not for the inverted box pleat at the front. This shirt can be used with :1 sep— Ili‘T’" illiilh‘t‘t of white crepe de (blue and a blue flunncl sport jacket in innltc 11 sports 01‘ general iiiiiilour i-ostiiiiiu. For the cvnryilay frock for warm weather nothing is better than one of the new striped wash silk one- piece frocks that. most of the deal- eais in sports apparel designate as tennis frocks. Those are made tis season with long sleeves with regulation man's cuffs, though for actual tennis they are better when provided with very short sleeves. Washable crcpo do chine with prnited stripes or striped mean's silk shirting is the material from which such frocks are made‘. 341an Frocks Are Good If you can have another frock for every day than by all means get one of the very new frocks of \\ ~ . \ \\\\ ‘\\\\ At two-piece sports left, frock of gray flannel, trimmed with new blue.

There are pink flowers at the shoulder. balbriggan. These are made like the wash silks, in one or two pieces. and are washed without difllculty. The old-fashioned bal~ brlggan from which men‘s light- weight under things were made was, as you may know. a cotton fabric. The material that is men- tioned so often in present day fashion reports and that has been used almost as much as kasha by French dressmakers lately- is of wool or wool and cotton. achiev- ing the effect of the old~tlme ma- terial without being a literal re- production of it. Originally balbriggan was known only as the name of n quaint town in Ireland. There it was that certain stockings of a special sort were first made. and from the town the stockings took their name. Later undergarments were made in like manner and they were known na‘Bnlbriggsns. ' and now the old Irish name has been extended to a sort of wool fabric which is on the tip of every one's tongue who speaks of cur- rent fashione. This material is sold by the yard. of course. and it. would not be a difficult task to make one of the simple little sport frocks of it. It may be had in “natural" tones of gray; though the blends showing green. rose. violet or yellow are quite smart. The separate Balbriggen slip-on is sometimes worn with iiannnl'or tweed skirt. I! you do not want to go to the expen at an entire Balbriggan frock, on can buy the slip-on and wear this with a dan- nel skirt which you may happen to have on hand or which you may make at home at not very great expense. . Get Comfortable Shoes No one can possibly pass a pleasant summer holiday without comfortable shoes-I mean shoes that are exaggentedly comfort- able. And this usually means having them a. half size or a size larger than those to which you are accustomed. Make sure of this unless of course your idea of a summer's vocation com rises visions of playing bridge an Mah Jong. sitting in hotel lounges or on hotel veranda. dancing a little. sitting interminably at meals and taking short and leismrysprome- nades. .

This will answer the purpose for golf, tennis and general morning wear. The brogne type of oxford is still good for sport wear. For boating you will of course need shes of the sneaker variety, with soft soles. ' No two women have exactly the same idea as to what constitutes the ideal street frock for very warm weather. but great is the present-day appeal of some sort of printed chiffon for this purpose. We have—or shall have very soon —-—becoms so used to even the largest and splashiest of these prints that there is certainly noth- ing startling about a frock made from a print on one of the dark foundations—black. red. or dark blue. Made with long sleeves there seems to be no need for any sot of wrap. save pOSSibly a scarf. It may be that your idea of a perfect summer vacation consists of a period when there shall be no evening parties and no dressing for dinner. If you habitually go about: in the evening and con- sider evening drew an essential even to dinner at home, then it is I. treat indeed to go off to some lodge in the mountains or cottage by the sea where that convention is eliminated. Otherwise there is something of thrill about chang- ing every night for dinner. simpie' Evening Flock: Very simple evening frocks are usually chosen for warm weather. The girl who has been spending the urn of the day rowing or rid- ing.
