Tailored Comfort
Characterizes STYLE
Al Miami Beach
Hats Come Buck Into
Foshion, Even at
Sports Events

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. a.
Clothes can make the feminine holi-
day at Miami Beach, but they won't
break it. In other words, they can
lend zest to milady's enjoyment, but
withal she can dress to please her
self.
Well-tailored comfort is a keynote
with the ladies this season. Narrower
and carefully fitted slacks are more
important than ever. Practically
every one of the famous shops on
Lincoln road is featuring them.
Many are shown in combination with
a jacket and often with skirt to
match.
Shorts More Popular.
II the feminine visitor is the type,
she will find shorts increasingly pop
ular too. This year they are narrower
and longer, reaching almost to the
knee.
Cottons, ginghams and piques are
in the spotlight. Simple but we'll
tailored, they provide comfort with
out sacrificing the smartness which
every woman desires. This desire for
comfort extends even to dinner pa
jamas for entertaining in the own
home. Extremely feminine, they look
exactly like evening wear and yet
preserve the initial comfort of their
pajama design.
Spectator-typ shoes with open
toes still lead the field. Many have
open backs with just a strap TO
hold them.
Hats Back In the Sun.
Hats are almost universal in Miami
Beach as women attempt to look
their most attractive in times OF
stress. A fashion authority noted
that 80 per cent Of the women in
attendance at the recent Orange
Bowl football game wore hats, in
confirmation Of reports by milliners
that this important article of ap-
parel has found once more its right
full place in the sun. Casual felts are
seen everywhere. Dressy hats are
finding favor for cocktail and eve
ming wear and more formal occa-
sions find such things as lace and
little jeweled and sequined calots
very much in evidence.
In bathing suits, the bare midriff
type Is the highnote this season.
Black and white combinations are
popul r too, generally consisting Of
a black hCved bathing suit with a
white beach coat. Sharkskin dress
maker type suits are generally in
cluded in every sand-and-sea ward
robe.

BY. MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

There is certainly no occasion 70,
over-optimism as to the situation ir
the Pacific, which is full of uncer-
tainties and perils. Nothing could
be worse for us than to indulge IN
false hopes. to be followed by sicken-
| ing reaction Yet having said this
it is necessary to remark that at the
moment, the overall strategical pic
ture does look a little brighter fol-
the Allies.
The Japanese are being compelled
in their desperate attempts to di-
vert and delay the arrival Of Allied
strength in the critical area border
ing the South China Sea, to spread
themselves out farther and farther
Now they are reported in New
Guinea and the Bismarck Archi-
pelago. Japanese there are long
way from home, long way from
any support save that which may
come from the Caroline Islands
themselves not too well supplied OF
too strong.
The Japanese are taking all sorts
of risks to buy q little more time
for their troops in Malaga. This is
the primary and immediate reason
for all their island operations south
and southeast of the Philippines.
Quick and Easy Step.
There are, however, indications
that the opposition Is growing
stronger For example, the Japa-
nese advance from Davao to Jolo,
from Jolo to British Borneo, was a
quick and easy succession of steps.
From British Borneo to Tarakan
it took longer The small Dutch
garrison on Tarakan put up a fierce
fight, Dutch and American planes
cost the Japanese heavy losses.
From Tarakan to the next point
southwark along the Strait of Ma
CAESAR, Balikpapan, has proven very
much tougher going. Dutch planes
smashed heavily at a japanese con-
voy in the strait, making hits On
eight ships. Off Balikpapan itself,
the Dutch air force has struck
again, hitting three ships.
In the Molucca passage, east ol
Celebes, the Japanese having es-
tablished themselves on the Nina
hasa Peninsula, they do not seem
to be able to develop operations to
the southwark. All this means that
on the general line Singapore, Sura-
baya, Amboina, the centers of Allied
resistance, are growing stronger, and
If this strength continues to in
crease, the Allies will be able to
develop offensive power which will
begin to make itself felt.
It should be remembered that the
japanese were able to overwhelm
our fighter force in Luzon and
drive away our bombers because OF
the comparatively few airfields
available to us.
On the other hand, they have
been able to do nothing to diminish
the vigor of the Dutch air opera

Tong. the dragonmaker. sits on a
wooden bench in his little Workshop
in San Franciscos Chinatown.
Around him are shelves piled high
with bright bolts Of silk from Hong

ters of metal reflectors, which Tong
uses on his dragons to dash light
into the eyes of evil spirits when the
creatures are paraded through the
streets.
Lee Tong drapes yards and yards
of silk over his workbench. With
deft fingers he cuts it into desired
lengths, then securely sews the
shimmering material over a wood
and-wire framework. Gradually, the
creature takes form-long, silken

glaring eyes; bright Chinese colors.

Raleigh to Celebrate
Sesquicentenniul

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 24-The
15Oth anniversary of the establish
ment of Raleigh as the capital Of
North Carolina will be observed
here during the week of April 26,
with the largest historical celebra-
ton in State annals.
Raleigh, like Washington, was Sc
lected as the site for a capital and
was developed with that in view,
without encumbrance of prior con-
struction. The capital of North
Carolina, when the Legislative Com
mittee purchased the necessary land
from Joel Lane, was a wooded wild
erness. Raleigh now is the States
fifth largest city.
A historical pageant with a cast
of 1000 will feature the celebra-
ton, and there is a movement afoot
for the erection of statue to Sir
Walter Raleigh in the Capitol Square
to be unveiled as the climax Of the
observance.
