Modest Beach Wear
Strips to Bare Essentials.

From the beachwear we've SEEN
and from what we hear from New
York. these costumes for SUM-
worshiping are extremely versatile.
One authority calls them strip
tease wardrobes" for they give more
coverage going to and from the
beach, and less when your destina-
ton is reached. Far example, out
fits may include jacket, skirt or
slacks over a mere bra" and trunks.
The play or bathing suit beneath
this seemingly modest outfit may
feature bare midriff and afford
plenty of opportunity for tanning
On the other hand, the complete
outfit is usually modest enough for
lunching at the Casino or strolling
down the main street.
Slack suits have a mannish tend
ency reflected in narrow trousers
with tailored tops Pinafores are
still being worn for general wear
or to slip over swim suit. When
shorts are worn, they are longer.
Shoes have deep soles and negligible
uppers and in the new colors are
very good looking.
Bathing suits are greatly varied,

Orlando's Program
To Accent Golf

ORLANDO, Fla, Dec. I'm Or
lando's newly mapped -out recre-
ational calendar golf will assume a
new supremacy this season, with
championship and open tourna-
ments scheduled on the city's four
picturesque links. Prominent in the
sports programs will be the Lawn
Bowling and Switchboard Clubs
contests to be held in Sunshine
Recreational Park, where Orlando's s
Tennis and Rogue Clubs have at
tracted wide attention by their
spirited championship games.
In the water sports programs
sailboat and swimming races are
this season to be divided among
some Of the city's SO lakes and the
nearby lakes within Orange County,
which number more than IS 900 in
land waterways. OF special interest
to those who have long looked upon
Orlando as a resort metropolis sur
rounded by a fisherman's domain
of large and small lakes, new angler
clubs and trophy contests will start
early-season fishing interest.

but also seem to be little longer
than last season. They may consist
of a pantie-waist top over slender
trunks or be composed OF draped
bra and full skirt. No matter what
type is chosen, however, it is almost
sure to be colorful in this same de-
lightfully gay manner.
After Dark CoIors
Typically Southern.
This same interest in typically
southern colors, very clear pastels
with less of dusty" look, is also
found in clothes for after-dark wear.
Large prints are good and SO are
the solid colors which have such
fascinating names as Portinari blue
or coral shrimp or strawberry pink.
In silhouette, evening clothes feature
a more daring neckline than you
may have been used to wearing. Hip
line drapery is very important and
the longer bodice emphasized with
pockets or peplum looks as though
it is here for a stay. Skirts may be
very slim and slashed at the hemline
or very flouncy and suggestive of the
native Hawaiian dress. While there
will be some full, romantic skirts,
they will be more modified than last
year. Don't overlook the possibili-
ties of evening skirt and jacket
combinations. These afford ease
in travelling and the utmost COM
fort once you have arrived.
For those who prefer the cold
blasts of invigorating air, the speed
ing down steep slopes and the later
return to a warm fire and much
merriment, new fashions for north
ern resorts will be delight. Here
simplicity is the keynote, particular
ly in ski clothes which may be the
gay, decorative type suggestive Of

history there are the cave dwellings

Clothes . Compromise
Between Two Versions.
The movies have given the East
wonderful ideas of the vividness Of
cowboy attire and dudes" who visit
ranches on vacation. Just about
half way between that and a real
working cowboys attire is what the
visitor will need. Blue jeans are
ideal for all strenuous daytime ac-
tivity. They also drape nicely over
the corral fence or on a cowhide
chair. Get three pairs-several sizes
too big, as they shrink. Send them
all to the laundry Immediately,
becoming one of the gang by elm
mating their bright and shiny look
If possible, have cowboy boots made.
They ought to last lifetime, and
they must be comfortable. Bright
colors are in keeping with the clear
skies and yellow sand of New Mex
leo, so all may indulge to their
hearts content. Strong men wear
jewelry and use lipstick. The first
a hangover from the Spanish days
when a mans pride and impor-
tance were judged by his silver
decorated saddle and bride, his sill
ver-handled gun and holster and
other ornaments. Lipstick is just
good cowboy common sense, in view
Of the sun and wind-parched lips.
Dressing for dinner is accom-
plished by changing to a silk shirt,
best neckerchief and all jewelry,
or tweeds and sweaters-seldom
more than that.
Have soothing lotions and creams
handy to ease the action of sun,
wind and the dryest air in the
world. A wide-brimmed hat keeps
the glare out Of the eyes. The sun
burns at noon even in winter in that
part of the country, and it will be
chilly the minute the sun goes down
even in summer-so provide the
cooler things for noon and have a
sweater, or even fur-lined coat
depending on how high in the noun
tains the visitor goes and what the
program Is after dark.

St. Petersburg Lays
Plans to Entertain
100000 Visitors

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Dec. T.
The city of sunshine's winter cal
endar Of sports, social, cultural and
general amusement events, just
completed by the Visitor Entertain
ment Committee, has been doubled
this year in anticipation of 10000
wintertime guests. Already pre-
holiday arrivals have swelled the
seasonal population to the highest
point ever reached before New Year.
Major sports events on the winter
program include the annual North
South interscholastic football cham
pionship game at Kumquat Bowl
December 80, the $1,000 72-hole St.
Petersburg open golf tournament
February 1928, twelfth annual St.
Petersburg Havana sailing race
March /, Southeastern power boat
regatta, national shuf1eboard and
lawn bowling championship matches
and three months of greyhound rae
ing.
Spectacles and pageants include
the annual Christmas lighting pro-
gram of living Christmas trees
everywhere throughout the city from
December II to New Year and the
festival of States, a week of merry
making and pageantry opening the
spring fishing and vacation season,
starting March 81.
One Of the principal housing de-
velopments Of the past year is the
construction of several de luxe tour
ist apartments, nicely Handicapped,
with swimming pools and air-con-
ditioning.
The st. Petersburg Shufleboard
Club, with 5000 members, has built
a costly grandstand, equipped with
opera chairs around Its eight-lane
tournament court, and has supple
mented its three large clubhouses
with a commodious gentlemen's
lounge.
A dance auditorium and recrea-
tional building has been added to
the property Of the Young Winter
Visitors Beach Club on the bay
front, an organization with 1000
members among young people win
tering in ST. Petersburg.

tailored styles affected by those who
consider that the sport requires
them.
Ballerina Skirts Decided
BY Ability to Ski.
Among the best known designers
Of ski clothes is Vera Maxwell, who
has created collection of function
Ia and good-looking outfits for this
activity. For the expert, her idea
is ski dress with ballerina skirt
almost like skating skirt. But,
here's the catch-if you're not an
expert and positive that you will
remain in a vertical position, you'd
better relinquish this in favor of the
usual slim ski trousers, single or
double breasted jacket and short,
heavy coat. Extra coats for side
line participation are needed and
among the best are the"woolly-
lamb" types now being shown. Miss
Maxwell's fabric choice of elastic
lied and weather. proof gabardine
has attracted much attention, for
1t holds its lines in tailoring and
permits freedom of action.
Skating outfits follow the usual
lines, with short faring skirts and
separate quilted jackets. or one
piece dresses securely zippered up
the front. Many are hooded, and
most feature decorative contrasting
skirt Innings which are effective as
you swirl around the rink. Tight
fitting panties of bright shade are
the approved ones, of course, and
these may repeat the color found
in lining of skirt and hood.
In the evening, after skiing, you
may be as decorative as you like. {.
"Covered-up" dinner dresses are
fine, as are long wool coats. Sepa-
rate wool or velveteen jackets over
long skirts are as good in this form
for the north as they are in lighter
fabrics for the south Don't be
afraid to take warm clothes, includ-
ing nightclothes, for these jaunts to
the ice and snow regions. Remember
that you can't be attractive with
red nose and perpetual case of the
shakes, no matter how alluring
your clothes.

purchased.
To be perfectly honest about the
whole thing, from fashion stand
point it would be hard to say
whether the clothes for Northern or
Southern wear are most appealing
While they differ tremendously, of
course, both types have such ex-
quisite detailing. interesting styling
and SO much definite charm that to
make a choice is difficult.
Southern Resort Clothes
Draw Particular Attention.
The clothes for Southern resort
wear usually attract the most at
tention, however. In New York re-
Gently we saw any number Of the
cruise lines which were of particular
interest due to this same accent on
American-designe fashions. Such
important creators of lovely clothes
as Kiviette. for example, are giving
much thought to the presentation
of resort wear.
The designers have borrowed the
tints of water colors painted in the
tropics, of sun-touched fruits, and
from many of the island possessions
have come designs from flowers, fish
and other interesting attractions.
In addition, there are themes remi-
niscent of our American cowboys,
the navy theme and those which
are adapted from masculine sports
wear.
In daytime classics, the shirtwaist
styles are still very much in the
foreground, but this year there is
a new feeling of femininity reflected
in the softer fabrics, the pressed
or impressed pleats and in the in
teresting waist detailing. Skirts are
still full, yet they manage to give
the impression of a slender silhoutte
which finds its way into resort fash
ions as well as winter modes. The
dirndl. which still carries on, appears
in a slightly simmer form, repeat
ing this new phase of fashion. Yokes
are important in daytime styles, but
they are so varied and so well done
that one is not conscious of the fact
that this is restricted detail.
