LADY 
the Southern. Trip. 
HE busy whirl of Christmas cele- 
brations 1s past and with the pass- 
ing of the holidays will come the gen- 
eral exodus of those who have the 
leisure and the means for the pleasant 
resorts of the South. Soon madame 
must begin to plan the additions to 
her wardrobe for her winter trip, and 
it is to help in this planning that 
Judy O’Grady has prepared ‘this 
week’s talk on up-to-the-minute 
clothes, simple, smart and inexpen- 
sive. 
Of course the tailored suit is the 
backbone of the wardrobe and every 
woman will be interested in the new 
blouses to wear with the suit. The 
striped blouses that were so favored 
last. summer. are still with us, more 
practical, more charming than ever, 
atid well within the reach of the most 
limited .pocket-book.. One that was 
particularly becoming was of white 
washable: silk, striped with a double 
biue line about an~inch and a half 
apart. It was severely tailored, and 
the turndown collar and cuffs were 
finished in coarse, blue buttonholing 
to match the stripe. The buttons for 
the front fastening and for the cuffs 
were of blue. The blouse seemed 
especially desirable for wear atthe 
Shore because it would be in excel- 
lent taste for sports as well as for 
wear with the suit. Another waist 
that was as plain as plain could be 
was developed in plaid silk. The 
shoulder yokes were cut in one with 
the long sleeves, which were fitted at 
the wrist by darts. ‘The blouse but- 
toned up the middle of the front to 
the chin, and the straight, high collar 
was set off by a turnover collar of 
white. A quite similar one was made 
of linen with piping down the front, 
turnover collar and cuffs of rose. 
This was very good for golf or tennis 
as the collar could be turned away at 
the throat. 
Hardly secondary in importance io 
the suit is the dark frock for general 
utility wear, and many smart models 
‘ray be made over from last season’s 
supply if care is used in the distine- 
tive, little, finishing touches that mark 
the gown as being really creditable or 
simply good-enough, Sleeves are 
larger by a noticeable degree and 
many are short. Novel combinations 
of materials are being used, and some 
of the gowns are cut low at the throat 
instead of being made with “‘chokers.” 
For the Afternoon. 
OR the afternoon call.or for- the 
afternoon at the swimming pool 
or, indeed for any daytime, semi- 
formal occasion a gown that is new 
and decidedly attractive is being 
shown in one of Boston’s most ex- 
clusive shops. It is made of navy 
blue serge and darker blue taffeta 
checked with black. The taffeta is 
used in large diamonds on the front 
and back of the skirt, for the short, 
very full sleeves that are gathered in- 
to the armholes with a wide heading, 
for the belt, and for the lower part of 
the vest. The dress is made with a 
square neck, quite low at the front 
and at the back, and the upper part 
of the vest is made of dark blue 
mninon, ornamented with a gold cord. 
Another is made of taffeta and ninon, 
combined to make a gown that is the 
last word in smartness and yet rem- 
iniscent of an earlier period. This 
latter point is emphasized in the close 
fitting taffeta bodice that is made with 
several seams. The sleeves are par- 
ticularly interesting, being of the 
ninon, made very full in the bishop 
style, and having three-quarter length 
undersleeves of Georgette crepe fin- 
ished about the edge with silver 
galon. The skirt of ninon is very full 
and has three wide tucks at the bot-

And the Shoes— af 
I'T'H frock or suit the shoes are a 
prime factor in the success of 
milady’s appearance. The fact that 
ten inches from the ground is now 
a conservative length for one’s skirt— 
makes the shoes of paramount im- 
portance. For southern wear, noth- 
ing is more desirable than white; and 
all women love the high, white boots 
buttoned down the center front. But- 
tons so flat that they are hardly dis- 
cernable over the instep are the rule 
and very smart they are. With a pair 
of white rubbers milady need have 
vo fear of wind or weather. There 
ure some delightful pumps in all 
white or in white and stripes being 
shown in the shops. Many of the 
dark boots have tops of light kid and 
there are some new brown shades 
that in glazed kid are very good look- 
Mahogany and tobacco brown: 
are the most popular and they well 
merit their popularity.

means a new assortment of sport — 
ciothes, and there is a new velvet coat 
that every woman will want. It is 
short and belted, buttoning up the 
front to the top of the high, standing 
collar. An effective note is reached. 
in the use of white pipings for 
fastening the collar and the pockets. 
The buttons are also of white. For 
wear with this, or any other sporting 
costume, is a fascinating white felt 
hat, checked and bound in black. 
There are some new. sport skirts that 
are deserving of mention. Velvet 
corduroy in white and vivid colors 
has not fallen in favor, and linen and —
