southland Wearables is the choosing of a southland parasol.
 With the average woman this is usually a very serious undertaking, as well as joyous one. A parasol plays such large part in the success of summery costume. Its shade must focus color interest in the entire toilette; if it is off the right shade, even wee bit, it can spoil everything else one wears. Yet one parasol must often do duty with several frocks; and therefore the need of serious con-

makes up her mind to her color scheme for a forthcoming season and does all her shopping with this color scheme held rigidly in the same mind. The scheme may be blue, with occa- sional greens that go with blue; or it may be bronze and tans with dashes of yellow or flesh color. It may be blues and violets. But whatever it is, frocks, hats, silk stockings, ribbons, scarves, parasols and all other details of costume are selected to fit into the scheme at one place or another and the result is charming-and is &C., quifed on a most economical basis. Cream and ecru tints are going to be enormously fashionable this season and there will be many lingerie frocks in these tints. Let the woman who is buying parasol now for all summer remember this.
 With a frock of cream linen and pleated washable chiffon in the same tint a parasol ornamented with pur- pie pansies is enchanting. The pam sies are not on the outside of the cover but underneath-one at every rib, appliqued flatly against the silk, which is a lighter violet in shade. The handle is of purple tinted wood with a cord in lighter tone, These parasols come also in rose shades with appliqued roses on the inner cover, and in tan, with nasturtiums.
 Another new parasol for the south land is of tinted silk with a border of swansdown in natural shade; or one may have a white parasol with white swansdown. With a frock of pink linen soutached elaborately in white will be carried a pink shirred taffeta parasol edged with black swansdown. The parasol handle is black enameled wood and the cord bracelet" to slip over the wrist has a huge pink enameled wood ball as an ornament.
 This seasons parasols are shorter in the handle than the models of for mer years, and taken all in all, they are f1uffier and gayer in type. As to shapes. there are coaching para sols with the ordinary number of ribs, flat coolie parasols with many ribs set close together, peak-top and pagoda shapes. -ferruled affairs

~ eASNC CiAhS So1I Ol navy D1ue NlCuIld, gathered at the shoulders along mar row epaulet strips at front and back and falling in straight, long lines over the figure with the concealing effect Of domino, worn at 8 masked ball. There are big, covered buttons up the side seams, up the outer side of the sleeve and in group of ten, midway of the front. But the feature of the coat is big cavaliers cape. draped from the shoulders and falling below the waistline at the back. This cape is made of the coat material but high muller collar and cuffs are of blue velvet. This stunning coat was noted in hunters green cheviot with big furnished steel buttons and cape lined with plaid taffeta, on an outgoing steamer to Bermuda. The model is an especially striking and smart one and will doubtless have many imitators later on. With the blue vicuna coat was worn a natty little turban of the new glazed leather, also blue, and with a peaked crown drawn over to- ward one side under an ornament of embroidered wool.
 Linen Laid In Pleats.
 buC you VIII want to near about Southern costumes of real summer type-the sort of costumes that give most interest to descriptions of South land life, in the opinion of stay-at- homes. Linen in dainty colors prom ises to be very fashionable this year. new linen frock, just completed for Palm Beach morning wear, is depicted. The tight-fitting bodice with it's long waistline is a distinctive fea- ture of coming styles. The linen skirt is pleated, in narrow box pleats at the front and in wider, side pleats around sides and back. But it will readily be guessed that these crisp pleats alone do not hold the skirt out in its modish flare. Underneath is hooped petticoat which does the busi- ness in proper style. The light hoops, two or more, are run through castings in an ordinary tub petticoat with lace or embroidery f1ounces at the foot, and of course the pettieoat is extreme ly wide at the edge, though it fits smoothly over the hips. The linen frock pictured is gray in tone-for gray is the shade of shades for Palm Beach this season. There are em- broideries in white and blue near the collar and on the pocket flaps which depend from the long-waisted bodice; and pocket flaps and roll collar are faced with blue silk. Inner collar and wide cuffs are of white organdie piped with blue silk, and the little tie with it's knotted ends is white, to match the ball buttons of white crochet. A very smart and modern little frock of linen, this, and ac- companied by a new turban of blue straw trimmed with wonderful bow of pleated blue ribbon and flat roses of chiffon in blue and gray tones.
 Another linen frock for Palm Beach wear shows also the long waisted idea. The bodice in this in- stance is a fitted basque extending below the waistline, a stiff belt of the linen, made more stiff by elabor- ate braiding of white soutache. rests low on the hips, standing up loosely from the fitted bodice. The absolute newness of this idea is apparent at

with short handles in the early Vic- torian style and tiny carriage para sols which bend over on the handle to form shield against sun or wind. One peak-top model trimmed with heavy silk fringe is a bright navy blue in color and within the circle of fringe at the top is section of bright colored, striped silk. The blue parasol with it's warm tones at the top accords admirably with garden frock of cream lace over white silk and the velvet sash is navy blue like the parasol.
 The striped parasol is one of the new models in demand for Palm Beach. There is a dazzling effect about this sunshade when it is re- volved rapidly and the model is Jap- anese in type, with many ribs and the blunt ferrule end of the Japanese paper parasol familiar to everyone. In white silk striped with red these parasols are especially gay and charming.
 Flowered silk parasols in dainty Dresden effects have ribs tipped with little balls of imitation ivory and handles of carved imitation ivory. They come also with black enameled wood handles with "bracelets" made of 8 rosette and twist of the lowered silk. There are lace parasols, too. for use on very formal occasions with lingerie frocks of lace and net. Some of these delectable sunshades have Things of pink silk and festoons of little pink flowers or bowknots of twisted ribbon. The veil parasol is a mysterious and fascinating affair, with a strip of bordered yelling any, where from six inches to a foot deep depending from the edge and until one gets quite close it is difficult to tell just who is smiling at you behind the deep veil.
 Fur is noted on the parasols for southland use; in fact fur is going to be worn in that summery cline on a good many wearables, to judge by the showings of southland frocks. wraps and hats A white silk coach ing parasol trimmed with otter is really charming affair and later on the fur border may be ripped of if desired.

 many whispers are borno ups ward from the Southland that there is constant reminder, even though one remains amid the snow, slush and dreariness of Northern climes, that the South winds of summer are surely on the way Only the individual who has once basked in the sunshine and soft airs of Palm Beach in mid winter, can appreciate the longing that stirs the heart at this season to get away Southward
 This year preparations foretell an unusual exodus to Palm Beach, Jack sonville, Jeckyll Island, Aiken, Ber- muda, Hot Springs and Nassau. Some folks prefer the sea trip; others like the social affairs and gaiety of the American Riviera. At Aiken golf is the great attraction; the cottagers live a simple out-of-door life with just enough gaiety in the way of dinners and dances to keep things going. At Hot Springs one may hunt rabbits, tramp, take the kur"-which also takes the money-and enjoy many jolly and informal good times beside provided-and this is a big "provid- ed''-one has entre to the exclusive inner set who own the bungalows and cottages and do the entertaining.
 Bermuda is ideal in climate, roman tic, fascinating in atmosphere; but there is the trying ocean trip first and poor sailors shrink from the Short though severe experience of Such voyage at the very worst sea- son of the year. It Is to Palm Beach, that winter mecca of the well-t to-do that most of the south bound pilgrims hie themselves; Palm Beach, where the sea is warm enough to bathe in January; where the wind sighs through the pines as 1t does in mid July in the Adirondacks, and the Southern moon casts it's dreamy spell through the languorous night.
 There is everything to do at Palm Beach; golf, tennis. sailing, motor boating, motoring, swimming, dancing what not? There is plenty of gaiety in the way of dinners at the Grill, supper parties at the Houseboat, teas and ghost parties in the Cocoanut Grove, and dances at the large hotels. A Travelling Coat First Consideration.
 If you go to the boat or the train to see envied friends off for the South lands this month, very little of the fascinating new wardrobes they are supposed to have with them will be visible except the last word in travel ing coats; and perhaps smart little new straw toque here and there. At Palm Beach there are many shops where fetching frocks, wraps, hats and so on may be purchased. Some of the big dressmakers have repre- sentatives there also; and many wom- en do not buy all they need before starting out, knowing that very at tractive wearables will be procurable when needed. But the travelling coat is a first necessity for the fur coat suitable to the Northern winter must be left at home in cold storage. After leaving Washington behind, the wear CT of heavy furs will find them a good deal of burden.

sideration in choice of the color thereof. An easy solution of the problem is to buy black and white parasol. These are very smart and of course they match anything" but they have not the allure of rose tinted or violet or chic blue sunshades especially when the latter are made in the new way with corded frills that make them look like big, many-pet- aled flowers.

 Pantalets on Palm Beach Dance FrOckS.
 : All the mid winter fashion fads be- come accomplished styles or sink into oblivion at Palm Beach where they are tried out. Pantalets are the very latest fashion frenzy and many of the dancing frocks for the southland in- clude pantalets as a special feature. Pictured is g dance frock of chiffon with chiffon pantalets falling over the ankl0 ana very long sleeves almost hiding the hands This frock is not dead white but has the creamy tone which is so fashionable just now. Against the creamy background the pearl bead embroidery on the stom- acher stands out effectively. There are pearl beads also on the sleeve, above the hem and pearl beads edge the modest decolletage which Is filled in with folds of tulle. The arrange ment of the sash-falling from the top of the shaped girdle or stomacher, is very graceful, and both this sash end of chiffon, and the chiffon skirt are edged with cream lace. Shirred chiffon finishes the wide armholes and here and there are small chiffon roses in the palest shade of pink.
 Sport costumes are an important item in the Palm Beach wardrobe. For golf there are double-breasted corduroy and velvet coats in brilliant color, with rows of big white pearl buttons. With these go skirts of white linen, or awning striped linen with the stripes running diagonally instead of straight up and down.

Very pale pink linen and washable chiffon of the same dainty shade are used in combination. The sleeves show a deal of fullness drawn into tight soutached cuffs. Soutache defines the armhole of the linen bodice also. The pleated tunic is weighted by a deep founce of the linen and the wide col lar of linen has a pleated chiffon frill. With the pale pink frock goes a new turban of black straw trimmed with pleated black net, velvet ribbon and novelty wing in black and white.
