Some Of the new suit jackets are
closely fitted at the waistline with q
short flare over the hips. For sports
wear they hang straight to q line Just
above the hips or they may be held In
at the waistline by a buckled belt.
Often they are double breasted, though
the opening Of the Jacket may be so
shaped that the actual tapping does not
occur until well below the breast.
The collars on these new jackets are

many of the new dresses show applied
collars and cuffs that are decidedly

not remarkably becoming, but they are
undeniably smart.

Practical Towels
Made Attractive

Even practical towels are attractive
nowadays. so attractive that it is real
pleasure TO buy them. Once upon q
time no one thought Of making every
day towels specially attractive. Bath
towels that you used for your tub or
shower we're nothing more nor less
than bath towels.
They did not add TO the attractive
ness of the bath room or the linen
closet, and they did not add particularly
TO the esthetic pleasure of taking a
bath. OF course, there were guest
towels made with fringe, some of them,
and so laden with embroidery and
fancy stitches that guests sometimes
asked for regular towel for actual use.
Nowadays guest towels are far less
fuSSy than they used to be, ard all
towels are much more attractive You
can buy them with borders of any color
ally choose them to match the color
scheme Of the bath room in which they
are 10 be used.
II more than one member of the
family share the same bath room, you
may find Il convenient to have sets of
bath towels, hand towels and wash
cloths of different colorg for different
individuals, thus avoiding the confusion
that arises when some thouphtless
member OF the family puts his towel ON
the bar or rack that does not belong 10
him. OF course, If several children use
the same bath this makes d rather
vari-colored effect, but N u Aegood plan

New Details Abound.

Lots of the new daytime dresses have
embroidered batiste modesty pieces.
Some have deep batiste cuffs, extend
ing from the end of the elbow sleeve
to the wrist.
Some of the new crepe de chine
dresses are embroidered with chenille In
interesting colors and designs.
New coats of black Persian lamb have
round, rather small natiffs TO match and
often small hats of the same fur.
Some Of the new handbags have fas-
Jennings composed of straps that hook
over metal hooks and are pulled tight
down, where they are held by means
of metal weights.
Boudoir slippers Of silk crepe are
trimmed with the bands Of the crepe
braided about the vAxnp.
Scotch plaids are used in some Of the
new blouses. Not only that, but these
blouses are of taffeta. Both are old
fashions revived.
Sports sets of brushed wool consist
Of socks, to be worn over long stockings;
pull-on, cuffed gloves and beret. They
! are made in all combinations Of beige
and gray, with bright colors.

Women'S Ankles
Growing LARGER

About the surest way to have slender,
well formed ankles is to arrange, if pos
sible, to inherit ankles that are slender
and well formed, for heavy, stodgy an
kles, like squirrel teeth, receding chins
eagle noses, run in families.
However, 1T is possible by persistent
exercise and attention to keep stodgy
ankles from becoming stodgier and TO
prevent naturally slender, shapely an.
kleS from taking an unnecessary girth.
During the regime of high shoes for
the street, ankles, as a general rule,
were slenderer than now. Obviously,
the reason was that the high shoes kept
them so. This was not always entirely
beneficial from the point of view of
mere physical development. The high
shoe CONSTRUCTED muscles as well as
Kept down tat. Ankles were more slen-
der, but they were probably also more
likely to become strained and sprained.
Some OF the slight additional size OF
the ankle Of today is due to the devel-
opment Of perfectly normal muscles.
And often an ankle thus developed is
more attractive to behold than the very
slender ankle that has not been prop
erly developed
Shoe manufacturers tell us that by
actual measurement the ankles of
women of today are larger than were
those Of a decade or more ago. It Is
because of such observations as this
that some French women who have
been afraid that their ankles would be-
come too big with wearing low shoes
all the time have laced them into high
shoes for boudoir wear. This is, indeed,
heroic treatment. Why spoil ones
chances Of perfect comfort and attrac-
tive appearance in ones moments of
rest and relaxation so that when one

slight advantage? This sort of remedy
always reminds us of the device as
cribed TO Empress Eugene for keeping
her complexion always lovely She

her face!

These Are to Be Smart
in Coming Fashions
Gray Must Not Be
Overlooked Among
New COlorS for
Spring.

WE hear much Of ehalky pastels,
w which are similar to the dusty
pAstelS Of IL months ago, only that they
are less grayed. In rose, yellow, green,
blue red, these new pastels are used re-
peatealy for daytime as well as evening.
ChAlky yellow tweed has been chosen
for travel suits and coats.
Among the light bright colors that
are frequently spoken of for Southern
wear are geranium pink, raspberry, tam
gerine, bittefsweet, peacock, turquoise,
blue jade, buttercup or butter yellow. II
Gray, which will surely be one of the
sFnArtest tones for Palm Beach and for
the coming Spring, must not be overl
looked. Very rarely Ii it used alone In
an All.gfay ensemble. More often it ap-
pears in combination with other briaiit-
er colofs-Il1ost effectively with yellow or
RED. A resort costume that has been
much praised consists of q gray dress
with red belt and buttons, worn with
gray gloves and shoes and o red and
white scarf. Another much.admired
color combination appears in one of Lee
longs most important costumes-show-
ing a jacket Of almond green and brown
mixture, q blouse Of almond green silk
and skirt OF dark brown wool crepe.

Pastels of Cha1ky Hue

Interesting two-tone combinations are
these3-w3r1e red and pale blue, rust
brown and green, light bright blue with
rust, light pink with bright blue, pink
with gFayish green, emerald green and
red
Figured materials will undoubtedly
play an important role in the resort and
early Spring fashions, but at present
emphasis seems to be rightly placed on
solid colors which hold ones interest
because of the ways in which they are
combined. Figured materials with large
colorful designs are worn with plain
colored jackets. Printed chiffon and
silk crepe will undoubtedly be used more
extensively for evening dresses than for
daytime dresses Of any sort.
Undoubtedly this will be a season Of
contrasts and of greater freedom in
combining colors and materials. Studied
of course, these combinations are, but
they give to the ensemble an air of in
souciance that could never have been
obtained with the one-color effects of
other seasons. -
Frequently two strongly CONTRASTING
eolors are ombined--emerald green and
red for sports OF kreen with rust, or rose
With bright bltie. Again 4 bright iisllt

as colors show unusual combinations,
and in many Of the jacket costumes Of

each made Of different sort Of fabric

skirt With tweed for the jacket. Jackets

short-look to the uninitiated as

stance. may be worn with q piain.col-
ored jacket and silk blouse Of another
plain color. Lelong is given credit for
having introduced the fashion for plaid
skirts with matching plaid scarf to be
worn with apparently unrelated jacket
and blouse.
Don't forget stripes. If you have given
attention to any of the new resort coll
lections you cannot forget them. They
are very striking, wide and usually de-
cidedly smart. We shall hear much Of
Basque and Algerian stripes-showing
fearless use Of red and yellow.

Next, she uses q fairly stiff com.

Then she rinses with warm water, let

ings are repeated again ana again, the
cold water serving as q tonic. A piece
Of ice, folded in soft cloth ana rubbed
briskly across her face, adds bloom.
The wise debutafte has noticed that
men use soap ana water instead OF
cleansing creams, and as 3 rule have
clear skins.

soap without q burning, uncomfortable
sensation. If you are subject to this
unpleaeantness, q good. cleansing cream

to make you lovely. The cold water
rinsing follows the removal Of the cream
with soft tissues.
The debutante knows that beauty ex-
perts are advocating milk baths for the
face today even more than In other
years. Milk keeps the skin soft and
white, and the new fashions demand
the utmost fenininity.
When the debutante uses milk she
heats it first, then pats it into the skin
she removes it with cold water. If she
hasn't go minutes to spare before she
is due at a tea-dance or formal, she
takes the count on as many as she has.
If the debutante is going out, she Is
ready for her makeup after this treat
ment. If she is going to bed, she uses
skin food next, applying 1t gently with
an upward, outward movement. The
cream is left on while she battles, ae
the steam will send a larger supply Of
1t into the pores than an all-night mass
Of plain cream
Then she removes every vestige of the
cream. She has decided to let her skin
breathe this year. Night treatments
are banished from her calendar. The
debutante knows that faces grow tired,
Just like bodies, and they shouldn't have
TO spend the whole night trying to get
stimulated through a layer Of cream OF
lotion
She has another reason, too If there
should be fire or an exciting burglary
she would hate to appear before the
public with radiant, greasy nose.
And the debutante Will tell you that
she is getting resultS-or masculine at
tention, which is the same thing. Peo-
pie are asking her why she keeps her
skin so young and flawless when she
never misses a single ride on the social
merry go-round
She doesn't tell them that cleanli-
ness is next to con1elinesS. That would
have about as much interest for the
stagline as a glass of warm water be.

washes her face the right way.

Light Gloves Are
In the Mode Again

Closely fitting dark suede gloves that
have been much worn this Winter I'M
doubtedly make the hands appear small.
But abroad there is strong tendency
among smart women to return to white
and other very light shades, both FOR
daytime and evening.
In the meantime, the off -black shades
Of blue. purple, ctirrant, green and gray
that appear actually black by artificial
light are chosen not only with black,
but with the color Of which they are
an of -black shade.
AS the vogue for light gloves returns
we may expect TO see American women
following the example of few very
smart French women of wearing gloves
that are extremely roomy. Pigskin, doe
skin and various rather substantial
feathers, usually made with prominent
seams, are worn loosely drawn up over
the wrists with the new Midwifiter suits.

New HandkerchiefS.

Initials on handkerchiefs were never
so cunninely worked and placed as they
are now. Sometimes there Is just one
big initial, set in long oval or req
tangle. The initial may be in cone
trasting color or in white or, If the
handkerchief Is OF color, of the same
trastiI1g white.
Applied colored hens, wide ones, are
used on some of our handkerchiefs
These have initials of the same color
worked in white square or circle, OBJ
long, diamond or oval, which d set

being worked at or near the hem e6gc

When you 60 sloshing along in over

evening dresses of the sort that you will

THEY serve as an early harbinger Of
Spring and Summer, reminding us
more forcibly than any thing else could
that Winter Is merely incidental and
that blue skies and bright Sunshine are

Gardenias.

Gardenias are still-or again-in

They are among those details that
Just will not down. They bob UP again
and again. We suspect that their reason
for thus bobbing up Is that they know
well enough they are too pretty to stay
down.
We wore gardenias on our hats last
Spring, you may remember. But the
sort of hat we then wore them on has
gone the way of the days of last May
The new way of placing gardenias on
hats Is quite dtfferent-becauSe the new
hats are different. A single gardenia is
