. Cloth for the South.

There is a whole section of the coun-
try above Palm Beach and reaChing
TO PinehurSt. \. c.. which demands
agreeably warm clothes. The north
erners and westerneTs who go down
there with trunks filled with airy
nothings usually telegraph home for
furs and cloth gowns. The wise ones
take compromise clothes with them.
and the dressmakers who cater to the
wise ones do not go to extremes OF
thnnesS or thickness.
1t is among such gowns, well cho-
sen, that the CalIot peasant gown has
appeared as the kind of thing young
girl can wear in the afternoon and
for all informal evenings that she
spends in hotel restaurants.
The sketch shows d gown of this
kind made in red and dead white
chiffon Fine broadcloth is used. a
material that is having quite run
these DAYS 1t has been blown upon
in the embers of the past until lit
tie fame has started up from 1t. and
it has caught fire quite quickly in
this country. There is dearth of
new materials, you know. and we are
glad to grasp hold of anything that is
a bit different from everything else
and that has proved itself serviceable
in other days.
This red broadcloth is quite effec-
tive, and it is made into coat suits for
the streets OF northern cities as well
as smart afternoon gowns for the
gay life of southern places. In the
sketch the artist gives an exact idea
of how the straight lines of the red
cloth cover the figure to the chest.
where they are met by a yoke and
sleeves, cut in one. of dead white
chiffon finished simply with picot
edge. This chiffon is unlined. except
for fiat layer of itself in flesh color.
The waist is eirdled, but not con-
fined, by a string belt of the mate
rial which goes twice around the fig
ure and loops over on itself in back.
