New York, July 9—'Tlii Is the season

The fashionable woman who goes trav-
s. ellng, whether on this side of the ocean
or to the other side, must be proparcd
, for every emergency and she invariably
Is, If her means permit it. She carries
not only ner neglige and house dresses,

for every possible occasion but also her
bathing suits and automoblllng outfit. One
of the most Important, features of her out-

•which must Include at least two complete
Butts with eli the indispensable accessor-
ies thereto, in the form of hats, parasols,
Umbrellas, belts, shoes, wraps, etc.
The traveling costume of ^ fashionable
woman Id nearly evony instance Includes
a traveling coat, whiclv may be called
a modified and greatly elaborated form
of the old linen duster. Linen Is one of
the most popular materials for traveling
csotumes and nearly all tho most fash-
ionable coats are made of H. Of course
other materials, like poDgee, taffeta. Iiur
lingh&m, gloria, Itajah, hnlllanttne-, a ixl
even madras and ShantoAg poplin, are al-
so used, but llnen^is undoubtedly In tho
lead. These traveling coats are mudo in

The good olff fashioned calico, which
was Worn so extensively down i-outh
about the time of the civil war, is again
besoming faehionablo and is used by
jnany fashionable women not only f.>'r
tnorning dresses, but also for more' pre-
tentious occasions. There a e many hand-
some patterns and colors In the market,
which are not only pretty but exceed-
ingly rervfcnnble. Many women, who
spent.the winter and spring In the south
have broocht calico dresses home wirti

Among the latest noverties, warranted

rew corset Is made In a dozen different
styles, suitable for various conditions.
In all of them the bones are laid at <lif
ferent angles, the lacing is done in dlf-

in the form of hose supportsers, form
correctors, etc. All end under the bust,
leaving It absolutely free from pressure of
nny kind. The waist curse is well below
Vie ribs. Instead Just at the floating ribs

lew corset Is eminently adapted to the
#atural and graceful movements of the

There is nn enormous demand fo
. mite shoes at present and fashlonabl
rotnan wear them on nearly every oc
afion. almost to the exclusion of black
fooe s. The greatest demand Is for white
tanvas pumps or slippers. They are us-
lolly tied over the toes with heavy white
;lbbon and many of them have brown
Seels. They are Invariably worn wl
shite stockings. The pomps ore mi

is considerable domahd for the latter too
These shoes are cool and comfortable and
are easily cleaned with white clav. Next
in popularity to white shoes are those
of delicate tints, usually selected to match
the color of the dress material. Shoe-
of pongee color, trimmed with white nr
unusually dressy and handsome Ther
are also shoes in every imaginable tint of
brown, which are tied with broad bows
of brown ribbon of corresponding teint
and .ar- worn wth light brown stockings.
The ordinary russets and deeper brows
are not used so muclf for dross occasions,
but merely for plain walking shoes.
Sailor hats are again coining in stvle.
Pome of them are? nearly of the same
shape and style as those worn so much
n few years ago. but these plain flats
hats of stiff straw are now only worn
by young girls, of the athletic type. The
fashionable sailors nre very broad brim-
ined. have a low and broad crown, usual
Jy of light and rought straw and an
trimmed with banks of foliage and how
ers. They are sold In all colors to match
the belts. Most women prefer white oi
cream, while black seems to have pone
entirely out of style. On some of the.se
hats loops of velvet or silk ribbon are
used together with leaves and (lowers
for trimming. Tho trlmndng Is all above

this little incident as an e-xamplo of tne
sort of thing I mean.
A JAPAN KM 10 PANDORA,
was 11 Russian, married to a Japan-
nnd living at Yokohomn. He spoke
Japanese almost like a native, and was
In almost every leSpe.-t an effectlonate
husband. The wife, who may ho called
O liana San. appeared fond of her hus-
band. and all went w.dl until late In Jan-
ttarv. wh. n even the most sanguine had
abandoned hope of pea- - ['or some time
befor« this, however, it Hunan San had
noticed thnt her hu-ban.l. th -uuh frank
and open in most things, attached great
Importance to n sort of dispatch-box,
which he never allowed to his side
for an Instant. Even under normal clr-
e umstan. ■ s this fnct would have excited
her curiosity, both as a woman and
Japan, se at that, but aa a reader of the
v.-macular press she; was well aware
that there were such being as Russia**
spies In existence, and that, although
her husband was ostensibly a teacher

her ejuty lay. A Japaneso proverb has
