IN NEW MODE AT >DIXIE. RESORTS
By HENRI BENDEI

New York, Dec f - The first clothes for wear at Palm Beach and other southern resorts rationalize l the new silhouette.
 By that l mean that they accept the new normal Waistline as q fact. but they by no means embrace the full length skirts, They make much or daintness. by way Of rcteratin5 the fcminintty of winters things. but they are restrained in their use Of extra touches which put conscry4. tiVeno#s at Il premium.
 Skirts show increased fullncss but are neatly fitted over svclt hip lines and the induction of mllncss ccmcs by means of gorcs and go- dttS quit" as much as by the ever popular pleut. With these skirts. the hIousos are invariably tuck-ns. Goats may be fitted. or cardigana and few cute suits employ the Eton jackets as gesture 10 youth and jauntincss
 \ Blow at Exaggerated Modes
 Palm Beach clothes indicate 10 n" that styles are crNStaIlizing into r"N lines but not exaggerated ones. into new lengths but no set ouc. into nov feminine daintincss but not iu&SlncsS. The first exaggerated sil hoUctt"s arc no longer correct. Be 'cmln2ncss is more important than hi%arreEcsS good lines more essen iial than novelty in cut But thorn f1 Il changed and changed beautifully.
 lfnks, blue and reds vie with the popularity of last seasons ubiquitouy yellow. There will be many greens. too, not only because green is q good spring color, but because il combines SO well with other things. o0ttonS and Linens Arc Important
 'ottons and linens have quite d place m the new mode, with many 'ne voile blohscs with silk suits and sometimes chiffon blouses with nnon suits. Shantung. necktie silks. | and other novelty suits, minglc with lhe usual crcpes. And there will be many printed trocks again. though prints tend to be dainty rather than spectacular flowered chiffons Tor afternoon. especially.
 Hats come n all shapes and sizes. Many women need and look cNceI- | lent Iii wide Drims. so there arr. some of them, They are essentially | iSuro-cIaSs hats and very appropri- l ate with afternoon things.
 one afternoon frOck. for instance. l oi rotc chiffon figured in vrritaDlc l. Ncld ot broWn-oycd Susans in thcIr | pale yellow beauty. takes d wide | h1lmu"d, natural Haku hat. with laced banding of pink. yellow and | green narrow velvet ribbon.

 Style
 This frOcI1 illuctratcs the ration. aljzcd silhouette of which l spoke hctor". lt fits the figure. but not too SlnGlN, to hipliuc. where the pi'atcd upper tier starts. There is :. neat little belt with decorative huchle in fropt, and the collar IS very youthful, with rgvrrs in back | and tie. too. IL Is much longer tEan last seaEons afternoon nforHaI things, yet il Is shorter than Iho smart woman would wear few hours later in the day.
