TRAVELING--Traveling
dresses
should
be
made
always
of
some
quiet
color,
perfectly
plain,
with
a
deep
mantle
or
cloak
of
the
same
material.
When
traveling
with
a
young
babe,
a
dress
of
material
that
will
wash
is
the
best,
but
it
should
be
dark
and
plain.
A
conspicuous
traveling
dress
is
in
very
bad
taste,
and
jewelry
or
ornaments
of
any
kind
are
entirely
out
of
place.
Let
the
dress
be
made
of
dark,
plain
material,
with
a
simple
straw
or
felt
bonnet,
trimmed
with
the
same
color
as
the
dress,
and
a
thick
barege
veil.
An
elastic
string
run
through
a
tuck
made
in
the
middle
of
the
veil,
will
allow
one
half
to
fall
over
the
face,
while
the
other
half
falls
back,
covering
the
bonnet,
and
protecting
it
from
dust.
If
white
collars
and
sleeves
are
worn,
they
should
be
of
linen,
perfectly
plain.
Strong
boots
and
thick
gloves
are
indispensable
in
traveling,
and
a
heavy
shawl
should
be
carried,
to
meet
any
sudden
change
in
the
weather.
Corsets
and
petticoats
of
dark
linen
are
more
suitable
than
white
ones,
as
there
is
so
much
unavoidable
dust
and
mud
constantly
meeting
a
traveler.
EVENING
DRESSES--Must
be
governed
by
the
number
of
guests
you
may
expect
to
meet,
and
the
character
of
the
entertainment
to
which
you
are
invited.
For
small
social
companies,
a
dark
silk
in
winter,
and
a
pretty
lawn,
barege,
or
white
muslin
in
summer,
are
the
most
appropriate.
A
light
head-dress
of
ribbon
or
velvet,
or
a
plain
cap,
are
the
most
suitable
with
this
dress.
For
a
larger
party,
low-necked,
short-sleeved
silk,
light
colored,
or
any
of
the
thin
goods
made
expressly
for
evening
wear,
with
kid
gloves,
either
of
a
color
to
match
the
dress
or
of
white;
black
lace
mittens
are
admissible,
and
flowers
in
the
hair.
A
ball
dress
should
be
made
of
either
very
dressy
silk,
or
light,
thin
material
made
over
silk.
It
should
be
trimmed
with
lace,
flowers,
or
ribbon,
and
made
dressy.
The
coiffure
should
be
elaborate,
and
match
the
dress,
being
either
of
ribbon,
feather,
or
flowers.
White
kid
gloves,
trimmed
to
match
the
dress,
and
white
or
black
satin
slippers,
with
silk
stockings,
must
be
worn.
