NOTHER year appears of the horizon. A New Year's resolutions air in order.

So are New Year's clothes, for it is so much easier to carry out any resolutions, old an new, if you are dressed beautifully nd feel all

set up.

Whether you go south or stay north a new little frock or two will renew your spirits and put you in the mood to face another year.

If you are going south, you must think of bright sunshine and white sands. White clothes, sunny yellow clothes, gay green ones are in ordes.

If you stay north, remember that a bright, warm colos such as red, burgundy, tawny gold or rich blue or brown will add cheer to what

might otherwise be a snowy scene.

If you go south, you will need a hat, but no coat, to lop your frock. If you stay north, you must get the kinds of frocks that go beautifully under the fur coat or the cloth coat with for trim.

WHETHER you go south or stay north, how ever, you will be surprised at how simila

in cut are the new dresses.

Molded lines, not too much length, belts a belt lines and some skirt fullness. The place they are noticeably different-and for a reason -is die neckline. And the sleeves, too, come in for their portion of originality.

Necklines have taken unto themselves the power to give frocks this character or that. A dress

be demurely young or sophisticatedly may mature, just by the change in neckline. It may be a smart dressy dress or a tailored one, in like measure by the variety of neckline it affords.

I. IF you are something of a sophisticate, you will want a tailored frock for daytime wear in the land of the palms.

A rose canton crepe dress, beautifully tailored in a new Vionnet line, is perfect for your pur poses. It has that diagonal cut to it that in voutly flattering and graceful. The new Vionnet neck- line drapes softly to the side, maintaining the gra ciousness of the original cowl but adding just

that touch of difference that is important.

This rose frack has its sleeves and neck yoke cut in one piece. It has long sleeves that puff at the cuff and gather into narent bands at the WEIS! And a sweet sash beh that ties into a perky bows at one side.

With it. a natural kappap straw hat that flares from the face and yet furnishes quite a bit of shade for the eyes, has an amusing leather or nament in shades of rose, tan and brown, and is banded in the brown.

II.

IF

you are a young girl going south, you will want the simplest of necklines on your morning dresses and sports frocks.

Something that dots its way to the top at the list of chic things it a white, rayon flat crepe frock with huge polka dots of green.

It is n

new material of heavy enough weight to make it unnecessary to wear a lip with it, which makes for coolness when you are in the land of hot sunshine.

The dots are huge, much larger than last year's coin dots. The dots are cut out, and ap pliqued on to make a chain of spots about the neckline and the cute cap sleeves, and a belt, 100. It is a most effective trim. So simple, yet so chic. It makes it optional whether to wear a necklace or not. Certainly a necklace isn't needed to give this little frock a place in the

un at Palin Beach.

With it, a white Panama hat has a wide brim, cut into a fancy pleated effect in the back. Shoes of white suede and green kidskin are very new. They have open-work suede for their main part and tips and a tiny line up the front. like a nar row tongue, of the green kidskin.

III. IF you ate staying north, you will find

youracil aided and abetted in carrying

out your New Year's resolution to-make-good. on-the-job by a tailored lace wool frock, in rich burgundy color. It is a atmart little frock, with n very unusual collar, which starts out like a cont collar and then develops ripping jabot revere. It fastens over on one side, in the new modi-

fied Russian manes, and uses matching bone buttons to close it. The sleeves button shut at the wrist with a single big bone button and there a burgundy-colored patent leather belt with

a round buckle just the shape of the buttons. A single pocket, put on in slanting fashion, in an aid to chic and useful to hold n banky.

IV. IF you are a tailored woman, you will be pleased with a blue crepe wool frock,

a Lanvin model in the cheery blue that is so good for winter and so effective under a tweed or fur coat.

This frock is distinguished by its diagonal tucking which is emphasized by its diagonal half- collar of white silk pique. The collar treatment is very tailored and yet softly feminine because while it has a stitched self band on one side, this white collar begins at the other shoulder, slips under the plain banding and falls into a side jabol. Three bone buttons, in the dress' blue fasten the collar in place.

There is a normal waistline, belted with a blue crepe belt and one pocket, made in the firel band of diagonally stitched banding.

V. IF you are the ingenue type and need some

smart frock to wear under a short fur jacket or broadtail coat, there is a most suit- able one to be had in black wool jersey with an original neckline in white that is half and ball the right side and back of white angora wool. the front and left side of embroidered daisies, done in the white wool.

This frock has one of the new wide necked V cuts for its neckline, with the front point quite low. It has three-quarters sleeves, also a new style feature, with white culla topped by white daisies. There is an unusual hip adornment an this frock. Across each hip, rounding up to the waistline and down again in the back. a little braided trim of the material is posed. At each end there is a little white ornament, like a bell. A black suede beret, white suede gloves and black oxlords in an afternoon cut, are suitable accessories for this trim costume.
