REVOLUTION is going on in sports wear as well as in the more formal attire, The 1930 Palm Beach style reginter. ingportant changes of policy and treatment that affect the entire antorial program.

For Palm Beach can always be depended upon to introduce the newest wrinkle and the smartest clothes, and its straws are the infalli- ble indication of the direction of the style. zephyra.

One interesting and outstanding develop- ment is the popularity of cotton and wool. disputing as it has, the supremacy of silk.

The smart silhouett is not. exaggerated. It i slim, graceful and natural. The waistline, though higher and usually belted, is Ina empha eized than it is in afternoon frocks, and the skirt is much len extreme, being just an easy, graceful- length, a few inches below the knee. LINING up the colors we find white leading

easily, but it always does. Yellow and green both have favored positions, and there..... is much interest in a new pink. It is noticeable. that black and white combinations are featured this year even for sport and that deep colors are given what artists call a "gray wash" to impart a slightly faded appearance. Pasiel colors are more desirable than the hard, bright tones.

Gray is much featured in wool materials for sport, and the combination of gray and yellow.

very smart. A touch of gray is used very deftly on many of the pastel shades, to add just the relief that is needed for costast.

Stripes are smart and used in many inter-" caling ways. They lend themselves admirably to the intricate cutting and the manipul tion of material that is so inevitable.

There is a tendency to roughness in wool, particularly in tweeds and jerseys, and in eilk fabrics. Shantung and pure silk weaves are newer than the flat crepes with the high sheen.

A DECIDED vogue for the cape is assured from the Palm Beach models, not only on conts, but on frocks as well-ending just a few inches above the natural waistline.

This tweed and knitted wool-en-

semble of rose and gray features a snugly fitting. Hip yoke, box pleats. and belt.

Illustrated today are some of the newest models created by William Bloom.

THIS cotton enimble, which is devel- oped in a fine cotton thirting with diag-" onal stripes, is worn with a tuck-in blouse. The blouse is also.of shirting, but it features. wider stripes. The jacket is not unlike, in cut, that which the lumberjack wears, with its large breast pockets and the wide belt to give the bloused line. The skirt features a wide yoke and a discriminating use of deep pleats.

・II. HERE is a new version of tweed and

knitted wool. It comes in the most al luring shade of rose that is blended with gray, The blouse with its fascinating neckline is of knitted wool, and the skirt is of a plain rose.. and both are banded with the weed of the coat. A snugly fitting hip yoke, box pleats, and a belt that is almost above the normal waistline are style point of importance, III. THIS costume is one of the typical

wool ensembles of diagonal tweed, featuring a shoulder cape coat, lined with the new knitted fabric that is used for the diess, The small scarf collar.is an interesting fish at the collar, and the bag matches the coal. The frock is simplicity itself, with a modified" princess line, and pleats in the skirt.

FOR the tennis player, as well as for the woman who upires to a good coat of tan, is the striped dress of linen badly striped with red. The interest is achieved by the novel treatment of the stripes, and the back fastening with its very obvious three button- and not much cise. The linen belt is worn at. the natural waistline, and is buckled in frost...
