Weather-Proof Set for Southern Tourists 1
“Where are you going, my pretty
maid?" has become almost a foolish
question. All the pretty maids who
can manage It, are going along with
the matrons, to some winter resort,
where they can wear specially de
signed clothes and be as happy as tbe
day is long, seeing and being seen.
The sunny South has other charms
than Its ellmatt?, for the tourist, and
the fashion parade Is one of them.
There are some millions of us who
dou’t go—or who stay only for u brief
week or so, bat we are keenly inter
ested In the clothes that sojourners
in the South are wearing. We know
that some of the fads of the winter
tourists will become the fashion of
tlie summer girl, and—it is u great
show anyway.
Among til? lovely new arrivals in
smart sets that include hat and bug
to match or hat and coat or hut and
scarf, there are some weather-proof
pieces that herald the dawn of a new
day in rainproof garments. They are
as dainty aad pretty us if made with
an eye to look alone, but they are
imule of rsinproof or moisture-proof
materials, js rubberized silk or imita
tion leather. Being moisture-proof is
a mere incident in the sum total of
their charms; being beautiful is their
chief business in life and they bring
a price commensurate with their suc
cess.
One of the handsomest of the new
matched sets is shown here. It is
made of so-called patent leather, a
term that describes Its appearance
only. It is black and shiny but it is
also thin and pliable as silk.
The hat Is faced with chiffon taf
feta in light sand color with a hint of
piuk in it, and bound with narrow
black, grosgrain ribbon. A band of
tills ribbon Is laid about the buse of
the crown and tied In a little bow at
the front. The designer might have
stopped her with tile assurance that
she had made a satisfactory rainproof
hat. But tliis hat is made to smile In
the face of the rain and thank the
weatherman for sending it. It Is guy
with beautifully -embroidered (lowers,
cut out from some Chinese or Japa
nese garment and applied to the
crown. They are in many soft colors
done wish the Incomparable fineness
and deftness of those Oriental needle
women.
The bag is cut in the shape of a
tall basket with a handle that slips
over the arm. It will carry the knit
ting with which women of fashion oc
cupy themselves, and other things that
have become necessities of life to her.
It has an arruy of embroidered flowers
and butterflies thut will repay study,
applied to one side of it.
