To Be Correctl Consider Type, Dressed, You Must sion And Per- sonal Becomingness. Nor May You Sacrifice Individuality oa EARL a T takes only the briefest com- parison, the clothes of 1829 with those of 1929, to reveal the rare luxury, elegance and sophistication that are characteristic of the pres- ent mode. Fabrics that will re- spond to the needs of the new sil- houette, the feeling of femininity, a decided trend toward elaborateness, the latter seeming to be the very opposite, all of these things are ap- parent. Anything of fussiness ls barred as !mpossible, yet the di- viding line between the elaborate and the fussy is very slender. It lis all in keeping with the times. Life, with the automobile, the airship, the radio and th8 many electric appliances is comples, as compared with the day of the horse and buggy and the stereoptican. We do more things, we have more things, we live more swiftly, to- day. We Begin With Underthings Your choice may be the simple, tailored garment, or the one with sumptuous elaboration. If it is the former, it is beautifully finished, and ft is fitted to the figure by means of blas seamings, and there is an air of elegance about it, even when untrimmed. Or it may be heavy with lace, the latter extrav- agantly used on some of the more costly pleces. Satin and lace are favorite materials, used alone, or in combination with cach other. Volle, the sheer cottons, tub silks, crepe, ninon and like fabrics make | for the luxury that is imperative, | | any means, although the accessors and there are step-ins, chemises, panties and brassieres for one to choose, the most used colors, possible to find white. Black un- derthinigs are offered, and there are soft greens and eggshell, the woman with unlimited money matching her underthings to her frock, when it is possible. The Foundation Garment By any other name, are corsets. Gone the day when a gimple 'girdle and a brassiere were sufticlent, for even the slender young thing must wear a garment that will mold her figure to the desired princesse linés. True, these new corsets are lovely things of lace, silk, ¢repe and elastic, but they achieve the desired results, and oftentimes they are a combi- nation of two, even three gar- ments. Some are designed to real- ly reduce. and it is garments, and the former begins at the natural waistline and extends down over the hips, and the latter is narrow. Elastic is the medium for molding the figure, and lace and the finest materials are com- bined with it, and there are, oc- casionally, two or more whale- bones. The shoulder straps of the new corsets are made of elastic. | i > ©, i | | | | | | | | they still Soft appearing th€y may be, but | they are effective. The Same Theme Everywhere As it is with the foundation gar-| ment and lingerie, #0 it is with | every type of costume, including the costume details that complete | it.

We suspect that fashion is looking ahead to the Palm Beach season, a time when the brimmed hat is sure to make its appear- _ance. It is a bit early to do more than prophecy, but if you are a beliéver in signs, you have some- thing with which to work, although for the time being you are more { the season, among them velvet, | vis-a-vis, soleil and felt. The funda- | mental Idea of the best liked' models is simplicity, but as in the general mode, it is subtly achieved. It always happens, when the winter season is in full swing, that there are certain hats that are | | | | | specially favored, and they are, for | a brief time, vogues. Among them we note the little chenille caps that were so much in evidence at With the new silhouette, ac interested in the hat fashions of in diamonds and sapphires. Illustrated are shoe of black crepe 'with large rhinestone studded buckle, stocking with wide French clocks and bracelet and pin set cessorics follow in eclaborateness as galyalk. They are snug fitting and perfect for wear with a fur collared coat, and when they are of fur, it is cut and seamed ex- actly like cloth. Black and beige galyak are the favorites, and these bonnets, like the chenille caps, are very youthful, but a trifle difficult | to wear as they do not soften or shade the face in any way. ! Another hard-to-wear model, but equally smart and fetching, is the | bow-beret that is decidedly filp-' pant, especially when one's nose is retrousse! This beret is made of felt, and comes in navy and a bright blue, the greens, wine, and several shades of brown. The sleek-looking satin' hat has made] its appearance, always a forerun- ner of the winter holiday season, -and there are new felts in the bright as well as the neutral shades. ! In making mention of the mode | that will be stressed during the Palm Beach season, it is necessary to remind you that the displays are by no means completed, and it is only the first items that we are! basing our predictions upon. But they are, in more ways than one, the straws which tell the way the fashion winds are blowing. vor thete is every indication that straw, which came Into great popularity last season, will continue a leader. \ It is interesting to note that Hat of yellow are b winter, which developed unex- pectedly into a distinct type. Summing up the general mode we have a silhouette that is wide- at-the-side and reveals the fore- fiead.

The straws have a linen-like texture that resembles the familiar baku, and silkiness is another prevailing characteristic. While there are off-the-forehead models there are many brimmed types, among them some Clever little cloches. Trimmings are rather severe, attention to line the main characteristic. the big games. Some are made of sille chenille, others of wool, but they are young logking, smart and very warm.

There is no type of costume that does not include the suit. From the sports outfit that prefers the sweater blouse to the evening cos- tume that fits its wrap to the frock, there arc suits.

It comes in some of the most delectable of the new colors, It is| there is something of incongruity | in material combinations, this sea- son. A knitted wool lace, very dainty, even feathery, is another approved material for blouses.

But in practically ali models the waistline is marked in some interesting way. There are rather severe blouses, ornamented with handwork, as tucking or drawn work. And there are the more feminine blouses, with dressmakor details, that include bows and jabots and scarf arrangements, details of scal- lops and unusual hotifs, worked out in the fabric of the blouse itself. | Make Yourself A Rug ¥ you have a room that simply 1 demands a hooked rug, or seve eral of these charming floor coverings, then why not make it vourself? If you are of the opin- fon that it is a long, tiresome task, then you are surely mistaken, for along with the speed of the times comes speed in making this old- fashiondd rug, that was laboriously fashioned by our great grandmoth- ers, and actually "hooked." There are ceveral ways of making these newly smart rugs, You will buy the rug all stamped, burlap the foundation. It will not only ba stamped in colors, but will have a color chart to show you' exactly where to use each color. Then you will have to have a frame, which will be so arranged that you can sit and work, relling tae finished portion to bring your' work close to you. The little hooker is a very great fmpreovement on the old-time hook, and the work will move along smoothly and rapidly. There are several ways of mak- ing these rugs, that is, there are several possible materials. You can make them of silk, wool, cotton, or of silk stockings, but the effect is not as smart, when eithér one of these is used, as when yarn is the material. If the yarn seems a bit expensive, price the same rug already hooked. In the use of yarn you can clip the finished sur- face, or leave it unclipped, the former softer in effect. Be careful of colore that they are soft {n tone, | for they seem brighter when hooked in. i s "Luxury" [Our Christmas Shopping Gave Us A | Good Bit Of Interesting Information.

It has been a luxurious time, this Yuletide, for even the most utilitarian things have taken on color and attractiveness, consistent, of course, with their purpose. Gifts for the home have been pleas- ant to give and receive, and per- sonal things the same. It may help to sketch, briefly, some of the fascinating f{deas that shops have offered.
