Eighty of the young married set
were present at the dinner dance.
There were four large tables. at which
the guests were seated. During dinner
three artists from a grand opera COM
pany sang. They stood on the wide

Herald correspondence from Palm
Beach. When she appeared on the
beach in a suit made with long sleeves
| ana having a collar buttoning close
around her neck, other young women
glanced at their bare arms and ex-
posed shoulders, which presented vari-
|
| to the number of times they had been
| in the surf this season, and they, too,
| decided that wisdom and fashion for

popular with many women. and every
| day now more and more Of the long
sleeved style are noted on the beach
| Miss Claire Bird is one Of those who
| adopted this new mode. Her suit IS OF
a rich dark blue taffeta. made tight
| fitting and with a ripple skirt. The
| waist buttons close up to the neck and
| has soft rolling white satin collar
| that completely hides her neck. The
| sleeves reach to the wrists, where they
are finished with band of white satin.
| Her bathing hat is one Of the quaintest
| and most becoming here and she wears
| 1t with an air that is the envy of those
possessed of less enchanting bathing
millinery. The white brim shades her
face and the tall blue silk crown has
white silk tassel dangling jauntily
! over one side.
At other sports the women are equal

as a square inch Of complexion to the

| brimmed hats and tie these down with
wells. Then they drape heavy chiffon
! wells over the fronts. SO that they leave
| only the eyes exposed.
