to go; but go they must-or so they believe, and of course they help to swell the number of smart1y attired folk who throng the American Riviera. Z Aiken The Place For Sport Clothes.
 Sport rules at Aiken. One dances bit-but dancing is not the busi- ness of part of the day as it is at Palm Beach. / At Aiken one rides or golfs-at least one does something that keeps him or her out in the air all day long-and earlier hours than prevail at gay Palm Beach are the rule. For Aiken wear was designed the riding habit pictured. Smart it is in every detail, and correct and dash ing too. The long coat, trimly fitted above the waistline and beIted in the new fashion, flares in graceful ripple effect to the knee, and brooches to match the coat button snugly below the knee, meeting tall riding boots of mahogany colored glazed kid. These riding boots are examples of correct ness in themselves, with loose and supple fit over instep and ankle and the stiff top above protecting the leg where it rubs against saddle and stir rup. A feature of this natty riding

stitching and showing it's high class origin by the dainty silk stitchery of the seams and other details of finish. Only second class blouses are sewed with cheap substitutes for silk, though alas, one often finds such mediocre workmanship in shops that are sup posed to offer only the best, at ex- elusive prices! The fastidious woman is as particular about the inside of her frocks as the outside and this lit tie daintiness of silk scanning is a perfection upon which she insists.
 The golf girl pictured wears the very latest type of straw sailor-a model just out for spring. The crown is rather low and is of white milan banded with a narrow grosgrain rib bon; the rough straw brim curves up all around, almost hiding the crown
 Bathing Suits Have Knee Brooches.
 Before leaving the supJect of sport clothes, one must not omit mention of the new Palm Beach bathing suits. Though not quite as dashing as the bathing costumes worn in a certain comedy now running in New York, they are dashing enough, good ness knows. A bathing suit just or dered by a debutante of the season for Palm Beach wear is presented for your delectation. It is made of blue and gray striped taffeta and one may be glad of one ithing-there is no skimpyness about the 1917 bathing suit The bodice. Tapped over it's lit tie vest of white taffeta, is very pretty

MOVE SHRUBS IN COLD WEATHER,

9TuINTER is the time to move that forsythia bush that you wished W when you took the house last spring-were at the side of the porch instead of around by the cellar door Perhaps there were other shrubs also that would look much bet ter-to your eye-somewhere else; in the corner of the driveway, for in- stance, instead of scattered around the lawn, breaking, up it's fair sweep.
 Do not attempt to- move shrubs that are really young trees. This re- quires the work of professionals and the shrubs do not always live to pay for the costly moving; but with help from a man, or better still, two men, strong and willing, smaller shrubs may be moved quite easily. Winter is the time to move them, before they have sent out their tender little shoots of roots to meet the spring softness in fhe ground. Have a trench dug around each shrub to be moved; good deep trench so that the shrub will come up roots and all, with ,ssizable clump of frozen earth around the roots The shrub must be clipped and cut back before moving and the branches tied up with lengths of old cloth (rope is apt to cut through the :w.gs).
 When the day comes for the nov ing-and choose wet day if you can or at least dark and cloudy one; remove the shrub from it's trenched ground by prying loose with boards and shaking the shrub from side to side. Cover 1t immediately with old

and the draped and gathered skirt toggery - knee brooches, buttoned trimly.
 Two very charming afternoon dresses for southland wear are pie tured. One of these is a typical southland frock, of soft white soiree silk, all ruffies and tucks, and accom- panied by a summery straw hat trimmed with pleated white chiffon and silver leaves, and white pumps of washable kid. The parasol has a note of color in magenta worsted efn- broidery around the edge of its white taffeta cover; otherwise the costume is spotlessly white. And white is al- ways the favorite for Palm Beach, where one is so glad to be back in summertime after leaving the furs and other winter trappings of the north.
 The other frock comes from Klein and is we'll worth careful study for it is stunning new model combining the very full, rather long skirt with a. simple surplice bodice crossed over a. V-cut vest and guiltless of any sort of collar. Dark brown faille matinee and two shades>of lighteE brown bro- cade are combined in this frock and the breaking up of the materials into sections in the skirt and on the sleeves is a notable style feature for spring. A supremely chic little Virot hat and buckled pumps of bronze kid make the costume complete
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-01-12

suit is the waistcoat of scarlet pontine with metal buttons. The waxed, or leatherlike side of the fabric is turned outward and the waistcoat buttons high at the neck, showing in an effective V of color between the long lapels of the coat. This coat and the brooches are black and white check, with black bone buttons. The white riding sailor is of felt and the gloves are of white washable doeskin., A smartly tied stock of white madras finishes off the costume. Riding at Aiken is done almost exclusively now with the cross-saddle and all the new habits have ripple coats falling to the knee over tightly fitting l knee brooches. The large patch pockets at the hip are a feature that every horse-woman will appreciate. Of course, nothing bulky could be Year. ried in such a pocket-for symmetry of line must be preserved at all costs but a small purse or a kerchief can be- tucked in such a pocket very handily.

SNIPPINGs FROM THE PAISLEY SHAWL

WHEN the treasured heirloom kku the gorgeous Paisley shawl put ," away since grandmamma's day
 -is brought out and made oyer into one of the stunning Paisley evening coats that every woman yearns for this season, save every smallest scrap and shipping for no morsel of Paisley is too small to do fashion reverence just now. Triangular pieces, squares. oblongs even irregular scraps seem ingly fit only for the ragbag are fig uratively worth their worth in gold, for genuine Paisley is to be had now adays only from heirlooms; the new ly woven Paisleys in silk or wool lack the richness and softness of coloripg and are as inferior to genuine Paisley

as a modern rug is to a century old Oriental carpet. A square of Paisley measuring two inches to a side may be framed with mitred gold braid and appliqued to turban brim or set against the edge of a fur toque. Larger pieces, also framed in gold or black braid, or in lines of metal beads, will make stunning trimmings for dark tailored frocks or chiffon blouses. If there should happen to be quite a large piece, say five by twelve or four teen inches. use it for the lower half of black satin reticule and draw the reticulel up on black cords or on slender, dull gold cords-for gold and Paisley seem boon companions.

ly, as it were. on the top of the spinal column, roll it around from front to back and letting it drop so far in the roll that the stretch of the muscles is felt at the nape, under the ear and then below the chin. Roll first toward the left side and then toward the right side, twenty-five times, and do the exercise as slowly as you can. A faithful persistence in this exercise daily, should keep the throat a, firm column, unspoiled by sagging flesh and wrinkles until late in life.
 The woman who covets lovely throat should learn to hold her head up while sitting as we'll as when stand ing. Holding the head-and this means the chin-up, means also hold ing the shoulders back; and the habit will result in a braver, brighter spirit than the spirit inculcated by a droop- ing head and rounded shoulders. Try it and see! One meets the world bravely with straight shoulders and uplifted head; despondency speaks in the hopeless, slouchy droop of both. Chin up and shoulders rounded gives a suggestion of deformity and spinal curvature; shoulders held back and chin dropping forward suggests stupidity. She who would look ever young, alert and capable. will form the habit of straight shoulders and lifted chin.
 The proper carriage of head and shoulders will do another thing for the neck-it will prevent the forma- tlon of that hideous little cushion of fat at the fifth vertebra which makes 'old ladies so hard to fit about the collar" Nothing is more painfully suggestive of middle age than this cushion of fat-not even the bulge below the shoulder line at the back, which usually accompanies it. If you find the slightest suspicion of this unsightly cushion at the back of the collar-line, fight it with determination and a rolling pin. Roll the cushion firmly night and morning and supple ment the rolling with the neck-bend- ing exercises referred to earlier. Drawing a bath towel briskly back and forth across the neck will also help to fatten the cushion of fat but this method is apt to result in a chafed and-reddened condition of the skin and the ro1ling-pin is safer.
 Cold water is a great beautif1er for the neck. Dashed on pleatifully of .
