Mrs. JOlln K. Fell BY BETSY SCHUYLER

Palm Beach, l'la, Feb. 2.-Aftel short stay in Palm Beach. l al ways wonder why women ever veal to wonder until l get back 10 tn, smoke ani dirt of New York, arf,l then I wonder why they ever wear anything but black,
 Nothing is ever smarter here than white for day or for eve ring. Against the background oi blue sky. green grass and bril- liant flowers it is delightful on the golf course, in the patio-or for any occasion. And it need never be monotonous. for a brilliant scarf, chic. iiApudent hat Of red or green. and color notes in the accessories are all it needs fol variety and accent,
 needed only the opening oi "Palm Beach Nights" at the Whitehall hotel. to convince me that white tulle was the ideal eye ming gown a nodded bodice ot white satin or taffeta. and an ir- regular. long skirt of yards and yards of tuIlc, will glorify tn, slender girlish figure as nothing else well. Add what stfass oI crystal embroidery you wish. il you must have decoration.
 \ Brilliant Scttilg .I think | never saw mor' lovely sight than the West Terrace where the dancing was. with it's tiny lights. it's brilliant moonlight and its lo>My women.
 The heightened skirt. and loops and tiers. sometimes almost a bus tie effect in the cagerncss to cm' phasiZc the back line, were fea lures insisted upon by the sma'' women. Long side drapcrics to. and very short back and from panels were also popular. After white. black played an importan role. as did soft pastel shades an. tiimy printed chiffons. that wer. just w'sps - but fascinating ones I he print of this season, that i! really satisfying is an exotic, un l dcfinanle creation, that bears nc resemblance to the prints" tha Fave become standardized.
 Another feature that is worth, Of mention is the invisible shoul i der strap. a strap of flesh colore, chiffon which is discernihlc onl. at very close range Peplums too. are very smart on cvcnin; gowns.
 White Hair vri.,hrl,s
 At the formal opening of th Colony Club. l noticed that pinl and lavender and all the shade between were very smart. Tn women with prcmaturcly hit hair can revcl in these shades d \. strike terror into the hearts of ht, sisters whose hair remained it natural color.
 With most Of these lovely eve hihE gowns are worn thrcc-quar ter wraps of sheer velvet, some times in gaycr colors and come times matching exactly the ton Of the chiffon or tulle of whicl the frock is fashioned.
 Sport attire is quite too fascin ating. Mrs. Sailing Baruch look ed very smart the other day in white frock. with a full box pleat ed skirt and a jacket of beige. an a facing of biege on her froch ! Halfe, in a white frock trimmc with ladder hcmstit, hing and hat and pdraSol of checked braid "d straw. Needless to state tll hat was wide Of brim.
 \ FrNrk of Pastel Blue
 Mrs, Oliver Iselin. appeared q the Golf and Tennis Club in
 very attractive frock Of pastt blue. with a scallopcd insert mad of rows Of fagottine outlining th jumper. With it she wore an ir terestinS necklace which combir ed small strands of pearls an deep blue stones. Her shoes wcr of white buck with cut out sec lions to give the effect Of man straps.
 ] Saw raulin" Mum in a whit flannel sleeveless frock with wide flounrc made of dr"p ba rlcats and with deep rc,crrs ii, ishinc the deep V nec,~ With h. was Katherine Ritter of phjI9 delnhia. in a plratcd sports dre, nd cardigan coat Of light beie wool in which was an invisibI check. The frock had d wide be of what seemed to be kntte brown wool. Her hat had a crow cut in many sections and ws landed in beige and brown.
 A Charming Natrspn
