FASHIONS
In these modern days a winter
vacation is regarded as essential as
a summer rest, and one plans it with
the idea of spending most of the
time in the great outdoors. And
appropriate clothes will make your
vacation a joy. Whether you skate at
Lake Placid, ski in Canada, climb in
Switzerland or motor in California,
well chosen wardrobe is necessary
for your holiday. And you can buy
your sports clothes in sets. A knitted
skating suit includes a sweater,
knickers, cap, gloves, hose and scarf,
or in place of the sweater a snug-
fitting suede jacket with knitted band
at wrist, cuffs and collar.
The cold weather has resulted in
the annual migration to the American
Riviera along the Florida coast. With
each year this migration increases in
number, so the shops have added an
other season to their output, and
while the snows are deep, they are ex
hibiting the airest, sheerest gowns
for summer climate, along with natty
sports tailored suits of twilled cloths,
checked flannels, jersey and fibre silk
weaves.
In displaying their Southland wear
ing apparel some of the big stores of
the city have a Southland setting, and
at this time of year it is the chief at
traction of the store. One of these
settings in a pation background vrith
its sun-drenched reds and cool, bright
greens, and belies the cold world out
side with its summery appearance.
Sports
White leads in sports fashions for
Palm Beach and Miami, but white
illuminated with touches of gay color
exemplified in vivid leather, colored
hand-drawn work or picturesque em
broidery.
One shop exploits rainbow stripes.
Without sleevs or trimming is a gay
little sports frock of brilliantly strip
ed flannel, the waist with the stripes
in a verticle line and the skirt show
ing them horizontally. There are also
i skirts of rainbow striped kasha on
j camel’s hair ground, and fine hand-
1 made frocks of rainbow striped chif-
! fon.
I The knitted frock will be a comfort
I for informal wear at the beach. It
retains its fresh appearance no mat
ter how misty the weather. It can
be had in any color, with very large
j plaid stripes or in patterns of
Egyptian or Bulgarian types.
For Bathing
Extreme styles in bathing suits will
be the vogue for the morning dip.
But however elaborate they may be,
the slim boyish silhoutte will prevail.
The silk bathing suit has its ruffles ar
ranged in back or side panels. Jaunty
suits of plaid wool jersey will be pre
ferred by some. The plain jerseys
will be enhanced by vivid embroidery
or varicolored braids. Beach capes
are brilliant and decorative. Included
in the accessories worn with the bath
ing suit are the rubber earrings which
may be had in an interesting variety.
For Afternoon
For the afternoon Mah-Jong party
there are dainty voile frocks with de
licate needlework trimmings in re
freshing colors, and silks in gay hues
that suggest China.
Very fashionable are the gowns of
flat crepes in flowers and figures of
bright color on a white background.
The lingerie gown of net, lace or
embroidered batists will be a feature
of the season. These will be worn
over a satin or crepe slip in pale rose,
green, yellow or white.
For Evening
For the lantern lit dances under the
stars, are the youthful frocks of tulle
in gay colors and of the pastel tints
reflected in the opal. A white tulle
frock over black taffeta has a bertha
collar of the silk edged with tulle
fluting. At the side, dropping from
the waist is a spray of flowers in nat
ural colors.
Gowns of soft printed chiffons are
ornate and colorful and have much
fine lace and embroidery.
It is a wise plan for the stay-at-
homes to make a few purchases now
for the spring and summer wardrobe,
just to have something on hand ready
to wear for that inevitable day when:
there is a sudden rise in the mercury i
and nothing one has to wear seems j
suitable, fresh or appropriate. The
majority of women, even those whose
purse bulges, never buy their spring
clothes until their winter ones are un
comfortably warm; and with a little
forethought they could prepare them
selves adequately to enjoy those beau
tiful warm days that pop up so un
expectedly the last of February and
during March.

It All Depends
The teacher had been trying to in
culcate the principles of the Golden
Rule and turn-the-other-cheek.
“Now, Tommy,” she asked, “what
would you do supposing a boy struck
you?’
“How big a boy are you suppos
ing?” demanded Tommy.—American
Legion Weekly.
The Elephant, Some Ant
The American truth-teller was in
form. “Talking of ant,” he said,
“we’ve got ’em as big as crabs out
West. I’ve seen ’em fight vrith long
horns, which they use as lances,
charging each other like savages.”
“They don’t compare with the ants
I saw in the Far East,” said an inof
fensive individual near by. “The na
tives have trained them as beasts of
burden. One of ’em could trail a ton
load for miles with ease. They work
ed willingly, but occasionally they
turned on their attendants and killed
them.”
But this was drawing the long bow
a little too fair.
“I say, old chap,” said a shocked
