Palm Beach, Fla, Jan. 20.-This
winter playground of the rich is this
year living up-~to its reputation as a
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 froek, It was indicated
that. Y ~ = :
:1--Short ,skirts are going to be
shorter.
$2--The transparent stocking will
be more transparent.
3-The undraped hat. will be COW
cred with silk and ribbons.
THE round-toed shoe will be
pointed.
5-Wool mixtures, ginghams and
dimities will be favored.
6The 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-
Gals gained a victory in hat decora-
ton 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 favor.
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 fichu
drapped over the shoulders in a style
common in the days Of 1776 drew
attention. It was made of fine ba-
tiste and lace and hung over the arms
just above the shoulders, leaving the
lower arm bare except for an onyx
bracelet on one wrist.
Among the other striking costumes
which have attracted attention were:
A sport costume Of pale pink crepe
de chint> the skirt of which was en-
broidereu heavily. The dainty blouse
had a round collar of Venice point
lace. Over this was worn a gray an
CORA cape with large gray hat dec
Grated with pink moss roses. High
white kid shoes of pointed French
design were used.
A rather novel dress of pale blue
rajah silk, embroidered in apple bios
SONS in the pink shades with green
leaves, made its appearance. This
dress had short, tight sleeves and
round neck. A large blue Clipped
straw hat, trimmed with tiny apple
blossoms, and small silver fox neck
piece, completed the costume.
A simple street frock of Poiret
twill was trimmed, with hues 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, bodice and overskirt were en-
tirely beaded in jet nail heads about
one-half inch apart.
A long draped skirt of black satin
with the blouse, sleeveless and long
WASTED, of white brocaded velvet.
This was worn with black panne vel
vet hat, with aigrettes and scarf of
Russian sable.
A handsome black chantilly gown
over white chiffon had a narrow CIR
die Of old blue ribbon and garlands
If rococco flowers.
A glistening black jet robe with
extremely short skirt supplemented
by square train. This was worn by
a beautiful Cuban, who wore black
paradise in her hair.
