To The Argus

New York, Jan. 17.@GoIf de-
mands comfortable and appropri-
ate costume whether it is played
on Florida turf or on the fiber mat
of an indoor golf school with zero
weather outside. Golf enthusiasts
therefore are already providing
themselves with their spring cos
tunes and wearing them both north
and south. Tweed shows signs of
unmistakable popularity for skirts
portant part on many OF these
skirts and is either hand knotted
or hand frayed from the skirt mat.
Tan, gray, green, rose and rust are
the colors most widely seen. The
sweaters worn with these costumes
are usually of mohair yarn or of
wool and silk OF open weave or Of
a drawn work stitch.
New York, Jan 17.-Wampum,
the original legal tender of Amer
lea, was nothing in the world but
beads, and beads have become SO
standard an ornamentation of the
present day dresses that they might
almost pass current for money
again in design and manufacturing
circles. In fact, beads are SO scarce
that delivery of some OF the new
spring dresses are being delayed
until a supply of beads may be had.
One new spring afternoon gown of
crepe romaine in orient pink is
heavily beaded in gold and two
tones OF rose color. Still another
jade gown of similar material is
embroidered in jade and crystal
beads.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE compro-
mise oxford has arrived. The new
est shoe now being shown here,
sponsored by a French mode, would
be an oxford if it had not had
wide section across the instep cut
away to the very sole. Therefore
1t has been compromised to be-
tween an oxford and a pump. By
this eXcisfon the toe is detached
from the remainder of the back
part Of the shoe except at the sole.
The back part of the she is fast
ened owe rthe instep above the
open space by a ribbon bow from
which hang two little steel tassels.
Miami, Fla, Jan. 17.-Spring,
flowers are spreading their beauti-
full tintS in Florida, not only in the
gardens but on the hats of north
ern visitors. These hats are fire.
quently of white fabric or straw
and contrary to the mode which
has prevailed this winter are of the
dropping. 'down-turned shapes rath-
er than the of the face types. They
are trimmed in many instances
with snowy Gala lilies, lilies of the
valley and other white blooms. /
Equally as numerous are the mod |
els of the more vivid flower shades. |
These are garlanded with nastur-
morning glories, sweetpeas.
and other bright hued |
posies.
New York, Jan. 17.-Jack Frost |
and Old Man Boreas are RESPONSE |
Bile for some of the striking incon- |
gruities in winter costuming these
stormy days. A favorite combina-
ton appearing on Fifth avenue has
consisted of fur coats, arctic over !
shoes and chiffon stockings so thin !
ana open that as one Adirondack |
guide expressed, you couldn't |
catch fish in them" Moreover the |
arctics are seldom fastened and /
with loose tops Tapping, many girls !
are rolling them down around the
ankle.
