should advise your taking a look at
them the next time you are on q
shopping tour. The colors are very
beautiful, and have a very s~oftening
effect on the design.
In the center photograph you will
find an ensemble of navy blue and
white striped silk with finger-fength

section inset at the front, inter

velops striped material in two ways.
The blouse is Of white satin crepe,
depending upon a touch Of hand en-
broidery for trim. Blue kid shoes
and the new sunburned hose are
worn with these ensembles of blue
silk now appearing at Palm Beach.
Navy blue seems to be coming up
stronger every day.
The ensemble influence is shown
in the frock at the extreme right.

The bow at the nee the group

many of the skirts have one-way
pleats with Jagged hens. Jumpers
with the sports frocks are a bit
longer, but as yet the skirts have
not dropped in length to any notice

they will be longer, and we may find
American women accepting them by
next fall, but at present, except for
the irregular hemline, they remain
practically the same.
Palm Beach always sets the pace
for white kid shoes. The all white
