We hear a good deal of talk of
reclamatory work among the vicious
poor, and certainly there is need of
such work. But there Is quite as
much need that similar work be done
among the vicious rich. OF the two
classes the rich are the more danger
GUS to society because in the power
which wealth, social position, and
education give them their facilities
for wrong doing are greater and their
example and influence more potent.

Much of romance attaches to South
America, growing out of the history
of its ancient inhabitants and the
story of the invasion of white men
In both respects Peru is richer thai
any other part Of the continent. Il
was here that the Inca dynasty,
founded by Nance Capac, Son of the
Sun, had it's seat; and here was the
stage upon which moved the thea
trical figure of Pizarro, greatest OF
the Conquistadores. Not even Mon
tezuma's 5 capital can boast the anti
quity of Cuzco. 1t is the Oldest city

beautiful than anything of the sort in

"A lovely little dancing dress which
has been designed for a debutante
who is to spend February in a villa d;
Palm Beach, is of pink chiffon yelling
all over white embroidery in which
are set motifs and bands of lace. the
whole being dropped over a pink satin
slip. 4 sash of pink satin ribbon with
weighted ends is tied around the rather
high waist line. Another debutante will
wear a frock of white chiffon yelling
all over vafenciennes lace, the pulled
sleeves being caught up with turquoise
ornaments and an apron drapery or

Nowhere Is dainty footwear of more inn
portance than at Palm Beach. There is
usually a fresh sea breeze which whisks
the petticoats about. and on the piaZzas,
on the steps of the terraces and in the
rolling chairs the feet are always in evil
dence. Palm Beach is, therefore, the
mecca of distractinglS pretty footwear

exquisite lines and costly jeweled buckles

frocks; and it is at Palm Beach each
season that all the new notions in white.

initial appearance.
Velvet boots and slippers are being

the hundreds this winter. for velvet foot
wear is especially smart, and with the
white frocks and black hats referred to
earlier will be worn dainty little slippers
of black velvet. while very likely DASH
ing black velvet parasol will be carried
in the hand. At all the French race
meets last summer these black velvet
parasols appeared, and the grand chic Is
to have a black velvet parasol with a
white satin lining and long ivory handle
with a funny little hand-carved elephant
at the end.
But if the daylight costumes are de-
lectable at Palm Beach. what shall one
say of the evening gowns? One needs
dozen at least of these, for the dressing

Like everything else in dress this sea-

are dozens of these velvet bags in OBJ

Sometimes the frame is of silver. some

its name of cordeliere. Several of these
