QUININE LAXATIVE TABLETS DEBUTANTES WEAR GINGHAM DRESSES Ensembles Prove Popular With Florida Socisty Folk scach, March 15 (®+—The v of the enscmble suit is the talk of Palm Beach. Whether the material is of silk, velvet, a com- bination of the two or in cotton fabric, no maid seems modishly dressed unless she has a coat or jacket to match her frock. Hat, bag and shoes repeat the colors and Datterns of one another. The younger girls are showing a preferences for gingham. Age has not withered nor has custom staled the nfinite variety of this good old fashioned material. “When I was a girl” said one dowager to anather as they reclined in gaily striped beach chairs on the Broakers beach, “gingham was sup- pa to be used for aprons. It had such a kitchen atmosphere, but t is changed now.” ie dowager was eminently cor- t. Gone forever is the Kitchen atniosplicre. Gingham has shaken off its shackles and now steps right out in the hest society, Recent years have ziven it added prestige, and, it wlso nust be noted, added price. swart it was noted moone of the debutantes gingham ensemble | the other day. With & laugl group of girls, she was loitering about the lobby of the Beaux Arts. The Beaux Arts is a moving picture theater when you ure upstairs, while the lower floor is occupind by var- ious smart shops. The lobby is deeply carpeted, while birds in wicker cages sing ob- ligatoes and flowers in artistic con- tainers shed fragrance. t is a de- lightfrl place in which to linger while waiting for the next show, and the group of debs fitted into the pic- ture perfectly. The ensemble suit mentioned was of a fine quality of red plaid gingham. with the popular side pleats in the skirt, These pleats, however, were cunningiy in serted on the bias, giving jaunty an individual charm to the short skirt, The ensemble had a white hand- kerchief linen blouse. When the wearer threw back her coat, it could be seen that the blouse was charac- ed by a stimulated bolero effect in folds of the same material. A small flat bow was at the throat. The gingham jacket fell just bee low the hip line. The sleeves were lonz and tight, and down each side of the coat was a narrow bias band of the same material that gave ap- proval to the bias pleats in the skirt. A close fitting bankok hat, banded in red, with red flat beads and red in the shoes, completed the costume of this lovely young brune ette deb who had only a few days before shed her heavy fur coat when she stepped off the train Palm Beach, READ HERALD CLASSIE T FOR YOUR WA ) ADS Now---you can have a FRIGIDAIRE Right temperatures for various desserts.
