Wet Weather Portables.

On days when you dress for the sunshine but keep an anxious eye on the sky, carry a portable rain outfit.

It may be a folding umbrella which telescopes into half its length and slips neatly into a matching cover. Or you may prefer a 3 1/2 ounce raincoat or cape of a transparent material that looks rather like cellophane. The cape has an attached hood which will cover a small hat; a separate hood may be bought to match the coat. The whole outfit folds into a neat envelope bag about eight inches by five. The colours—blue, red, burgundy, green, lemon or clear—are flattering. This new kind of rainproof is quite dressy enough to slip on over smart clothes at race-meetings or on the way to a theatre.
