ber that unless you patronize the right lines in your traveling togs, your trip just can't be 100 per cent satis- isfactory.
The reason everyone loves to travel is because it is such an escape from more or less routine jobs, more or less uninteresting neighbors, more or less cramped lives.
But what is the use of escaping un- less you do it in a glamorous manner? There is romance in travel. Why not capture it? Dress the part. Be that ether self you've longed to be. Garb yourself for those exciting adventures of which you dream, and Old Man Romance surely will not pass you byl
WHETHER exploring Greenland's
icy mountains or lolling in deck chairs on the blue Mediterranean, why hot look like a millionairess? You might just happen to attract that stun- ning young fellow who would see to it that from this summer on you really are one!
Whether you are aboard the de luxe limited headed for golden Cali- fornia or stopping at a filling station just out of Pittsburgh, why not look-- stylish? You might meet someone who would take you at your appear- ance and offer you a position that would let you capitalize this sup- pressed desire.
Last, and by no means least. whether you are rickshaing through Hongkong or taking off in an airplane from Germany for a trip over Soviet Russia, why not be beautiful this sum-

mer? Beauty is only costume deep. Col or, line, cut and the assurance that the right clothes give you will bring out latent loveliness, surprise you, and help captivate the One Man when you meet him a-traveling!
Just remember that chic is portable. whether you go by train, airplane, mo tor, boat or merely commute to work.
I. IF you are planning to look down
on America this summer, or some foreign country, from the cabin of an airship, by all means dress up to your elevated position. One of the new fitted coats has the proper amount of modern swagger. It comes in lovely pastel lavender, French blue, rose pink or tawny beige or gray. The beige rose tweed is very flattering. It is double-breasted, with a nipped-in waistline and Bare below and is far- tened with big rose pear! bullons.
For a neckpiece an Ascot scarf is very litting, perhaps one in pink, and a lovely woody rose that is almost brown. A lightweight straw hat with turned-up back and side brim of this same lovely rose brown has a cut sug- gestive of an aviator's helmet, with eatflaps and everything. and fits 50 well it is quite ready to take off in the plane and stay on your head!
II. IF you are going west on a
train trip, or are touring Europe by rail, an ensemble of a printed featherweight silk frock and woolen coat is more appropriate. A Marcel Rochas ensemble, which answers this purpose, is made with a navy blue and white checked silk gingham frock, belted at high waistline. with short sleeves, and a navy blue novelty, non- crush wool coat, trimmed with fringe and lined with the frock's silk. It has a youthful, jaunty cape collar and a blue and white carded belt.
III. THEN when those
Warm
days come in the Mediter- anean or just eff Japan, if you are cruising, you should have a feather- weight silk sui. Just the costume to go ashore in for a day. A cool brown and white polka-dotted foulard model is gracious and lovely. Its skirt has one of the new flounces and its jacket has a little detachable cape collar that is ruffled, too. Its white blouse has hand-mad brown data for trim.
IV. IF you have decided to have
your little bright blue or yel low roadster overhauled and head for sights unseen on the open road here or abroad, dress prettily enough so that if you meet up with either an ac- cident to your car or a blessing in the form of an especially attractive man, you will be happy, knowing how chie you look.
This ideal motoring costume 19 made in novelty stripe of black and white knitted fabric, with wrap in the shape of a little cape that ties in youthful manner under the chin.
The frock is cut interestingly, to emphasize the stripes. It has the new short sleeves that keep your upper arm from burning and yet are cool as can be. A black panamalac hat has the new silhouette cut.
V. IF you are cruising this sum-
mer, you will need a tailored suit, perhaps in navy blue novelty wool, with inverted box pleats in the skirt. a nipped-in high waistline and soft lapels. You will need several blouses with this. And a fox scart and stunning straw and felt turban are commendable accessorita.
VI. WHAT could be lovelier or
more suitable for an ocean vay- age than a four-piece ensemble? This flattering four-piece green tweed, in exquisitely soft color, has a pleated skirt. semi-fitted jacket white crepe blouse and long cape that has a collar that can be turned up against ocean breezes. You have your suit for shuf- fleboard and deck tennis and you can slip into your cape for deck strolls with the handsome blond or brunet.
A tight green blouse, several white or pale pink ones, and you are fixed for many an occasion aboard ship and also on land.
YOU, probably know by this time just what your vacation trip is to be. Don't wait too long to plan your clothes. They should be picked for suitability and becomingness. Your vacation should pay dividends in hap- piness for the future years. Just re- member that pretty clothes make the woman. See to it that they make the trip, 100.
There are three factors to be con- sidered in planning your summer ward- robe-style, color and fabrics. Peo- ple not only have certain styles and colors which heighten their attractive- ness, but they also have certain male- rials, if they only knew it. A slim silken fabric may do wonders for one woman and spoil a gown on another..
There isn't such a thing as fashions which do nothing. Clothes are never passive. They either increase your charm by forming a suitable back- ground for it or spoil it by giving you the wrong setting.
