FASHION SHOW AT PALM
 BEACH

Palm Beach, Fla, Jan. 1S.-1 HIS winter playground of the rich IS this year living up to it's reputation as stage for early showing of the 1921 summer fashions. The fashion new year on the sands, in the ball room and drawing rooms is in full swing.
 The hand that occasionally has rocked the cradle stopped to don its new spring frock. It was indicated that:
 1-Short skirts are going to be shorter.
 2-The transparent stocking will be more transparent.
 3-The undraped hat will be cov- cred with silk and ribbons.
 4-The round-toed shoe will be pointed.
 5-Wool mixtures, ginghams and dimities will be favored.
 6-The loud colors last year will become shrieks in the summer of 1921.
 Women who thought the extreme in dress had been reached decided that skirts might be made an inch shorter without undue exposure. The knitted stocking will be a net stock ing with lots of air holes. The radi- calls gained a victory in hat decora- tion with the addition of numerous silk ribbon accessories. Comfortable round-toed shoes were left behind for the more dressy tight pointed ones, and garments of wool mixture for spring wear seemed to hold ia vor.
 The fashionable set of Palm Beach drew no color line. Every brilliant hue of the rainbow was represented Brown seemed to be the dominating color, if there was one that could be called dominant.
 Among the lesser questions in what we women are going to wear for the next six months" it was de- cided: The collarless neck will re- main collarless and the already short sleeve is going to be shortened. One particularly striking bodice with tichu draped oyer the shoulders in a style common in the days of 1776 drew at tention. It was made of fine batiste and lace and hung over the arms just above the shoulders, leaving the low CT arm bare except for an onyx brace let one one wrist.
 Among the other striking costome which have attracted attention were;
 A sport costume of pale pink crepe de chine. the skirt of which was em- broidered heavily. The dainty blouse had round collar of Venice point lace. Over this was worn gray an- gora cape with a large gray hat dec orated with pink moss roses. High white kid shoes of pointed French design were used.
 A rather novel dress in apple blue raiah silk, embroidered in apple blos- som in the pink shades with green leaves, made it's appearance. This dress had short tight sleves and round neck. A large blue clipped straw hat. trimmed with tiny apple blos- soms. and a small silver fox neckpiece completed the costume.
 A simple street frock of Poiret twill was trimmed with ru es of rib bon and the same style repeated in foulards of closely covered small pat terms in a gay hue.
 Among the evening dresses noticed at recent spectacles were:
 A striking dress of tangerine silk, beaded in jet beads, and the tight sleeves, bodices and overskirt were entirely beaded in jet nail heads about one-half inch apart.
 A long draped skirt of black satin with the blouse, sleeveless and long waisted, of white brocaded velvet. This was worn with a black panne velvet hat, with airgrettes and scarf of Russian sable.
 A handsome black Chantllly gown over white chiffon had a narrow gir- de of old blue ribbon and garlands of rococco flowers.
 A glistening black jet robe with extremely short skirt supplemented by a square train. This was worn by a beautiful Cuban, who wore black paradise in her hair.
