A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
A T THE smart winter resorts you
"-may usually tell the seasoned
visitors, those who have for some time
made a practice of spending the later
winter weeks at thec southern resorts,
from those wYo are doing so now for the
first time, from the way that a. cold
wave takjs them. The experienced ones
are prepared with suits and coats that
are warm and appropriate, while those
who are green in this" winter lesort
visiting are caught unprepared. They
have trunks full of organdie frocks,
satin coats, summer furs and taifeta day
frocks. They have only lightweight
snort suits and their coats are of the
thinnest trieolette or wool jersey.
And usually one good cold snap does
visit even the warmest of the resorts.
This season it was .especially bitter at
one or two of the smartest of the re
sorts. And many were the resolutions
on the part of those who were caught
unprepared to be more cautious next
season.
For. the benefit of those who are still
1rt.-,!.-!n.T fnrti ;i ril tn n trill in n snrinsrl

Presort, I urn going to give the suggestion
that you provide yourself wilh one
really warm suit, even though the pic
tures on the illustrated booklet de
scriptive ot the place j'ou are going to
visit show women in white frocks and
men iii Palm Beach suits aiiilv
promenading sun-bathed beaches with
skies that are guiltless of clouds or
winds,
I have selected for your benefit a
suit of tweed that strikes inc as verj
appropriate for the woman who is plan
ning a pleasure trip at this time of the
j ear. It is likewise a good seleetiou
for the woman who needs to buy a suit
to wear during late winter days and
those of early spring. Tweed is very
smart at the present time and the tweed
suit has an air of distinction that makes
its high price well worth while. To this
suit there is a scarf attached that gives
it an nir of distinction. The suit is of
a dark gray mixture and the scarf is (if
the same tone, with nngorn outtonnoiing
in a lighter gray. The fringe on the
scarf is made from the same sort o!
angora wool. The narrow leather be't
encircles the suit jacket nnd gives trim
ness to the waistline. The hat that i'
worn with this trim little suit is in
advanced model and shows what wi1
doubtless bo one of the leading shape
for spring. It is of tan straw with t
crown of duvetyn. '

Hut Virffinia was young, umi w'j
but surely her strength began to come
back. She had called her baby Barbara
and she loved the small soft thing with
a fierceness that resented any outsiuu
interference. During her days of con
valescence when she had nothing to do
but wait till the baby was brought to
her all fresh and sweet like a rose, or
for her meals that Mrs. Anderson tried
to make as appetizing as possible, ir
Sr.ln lirnl ii erent. deal of time to think.
Her great problem seemed to bo what
she was going to uo wun ner me. Al
though a certain amount of tolerance
and better understanding had come to
her as far as Jimmy's mother was con
cerned, Virginia saw very plainly that
it would be impossible for her to stay
at the Andersons. She must get away
and lead her own life, nnd to do that she
must make money enough to take care of
herself and her little girl. So far life
had taken 'Virginia and had done what
it liked with her. From the sheltered
existence of her girlhood she had been
suddenly thrust into married life nnd her
lessons had been those of experience.

foolish or how impossible her desire was,
if she wanted it she hnd lo have it. As
long as she wants the world to go on
revolving it probably will, but I hate
to think what would happen if Peggy
cicr got dizzy and wnnted It to stop-;
She calls another girl on the telephone.
"What aro you doing today?" she asks
in a descending scale that is almost u
whine, "Well, come on clown town to
lunch with me. Yes, you have to, I
want you to. You don't have lo do
anything else, you know."
The other girl may be compelled to
refuse the invitation on account of her
own illness, of illness in the family, of
being'too busy, o another engagement.
But Pecev "won't take no for un an
swer," and bhe puts the full force of
her pleading whiuo into her voice, and
involuntarily assumes the pout, which
cannot bo seen and does no good over the
telephone. "But you must, I want jou
to, she insists.
And if the other girl sticks to her
duty and does not go, the pout changes
to a straight angry line, and Peggy
slams down the telephone.
THERE Is character behind tfiat pout
of Peggy's. It is not entirely her
fault that she feels the importance of
her desire so strongly. When sho was
very small she used to want things with
her whole being, as every email person
does. If she couldn't have them, she
pouted prettily. If that worked she
smiled. If it didn't, she drew the pout
down Into a grimace, added u loud ru,k,
and some tears and she always Zt
what sho wanted. She lexrncd, as verr
small people do If they aro allowed t
that when the pout dldnV work all
she had to do was pretend U draw ,u
the corners of it nnd she would t
what she wanted. No, I do not fepl"
tnat reggy is entirely to blame for th
pettish, discontented expression of that
pretty mouth of hers. If she had been
taught to pull In that pout, when she
couldn't have things, or if she had ever
learned that there were some tWugs she
couldn't have at all, there would be a
much prettier expression there. Dlban.
pointmeut nnd deprivation hurt, but
they do help charncter.
It seems almost a crime to allow a
child's natural, selfish inclinations to
"run wild" like weeds and choke out all
the good qualities that might be devel
oped and trained to make that child a
lovable, fine woman. She mnv im.-.
great possibilities in her nature, but
she must be an unusual child to brine
mem uui. uiiu uu.m iia-iu up mi oy ner
young, untaught, unguided self. Before
we put Peggj; down in our mental note-
or any of those ugly things. let's look
back n little and find out how Pegcy
"got that way." And then perhaps
we'll reconsider nnd put her down as
"overindulged, untrained and unfnr.
tunate." Yes, unfortunate, because she "
nas never nau u iair cuanco lo develop
an admirable disposition.

ginia to accept, the uneventful existence
of life in a smull town. Virginia's
nature could accept the extremes of life,
but the deadly commonplaces were the
things that her very soul cried out
against. To fancy herself twenty years-
from now sitting on me narrow iioul
porch of an ugly frame house was un
endurab'e. She did not belong here. Oh.
surely life was not over tor ner; mere
must'be something ahead. She was only
twenty. , , ,
Mrs. Anderson thought that she had
been very patient with Virginia, but she
felt that Virginia was making no effort
to be practical. She wore n sheer white
frock with a pale blue ribbon around
her waist this afternoon and her slender
white hands were idle.
"Virginia, Mr. Anderson and I want
vou to Know mat tins is your, uonie,
jours nnd Barbara's." She finished
with a little note of triumph and looked
at the girl expectantly.
Virginia was silent a moment and
when she spoke her tone was thought
ful. "Please don't think me ungrate
ful, Mother Anderson, but I could not
slay in Crystal River. I want to go
back to the city."
"What could jou do? You'd starve."
"I can work," said Virginia
iromptly, "and I want to be free."
