The. big change has come about
perhaps not so suddenly as it
sccms to many persons. Thousands
and thousands of Americans have
felt the call of long-dormant no-
madio instincts; they have re-
asserted their right to flee the
rigors of a climate that seems too
harsh. And the great majority of
these newly-roused nomads are
middle-class folk with middle-class
incomes.

So it is that the Palm Beach
clothes that once seemed so remote
to most women now seem a‘ neces-
sity. Their whole ideas regarding
clothes for winter have been turned
upside down. And the makers of
women's clothes find themselves
every year supplying a larger and

The New Jumper.

Yes, we wore Jumpers last sum-
mer; but somehow the last sea-

son's Jumper doesn't look quite
right now. There have been little
changes. The most extreme of the
new Jumpers are quite long and
are worn with very short, full
skirts that look like nothing in thv
world so much as short trutflcs
about one's hips. Some of the
drossmakers are sticking to a
shorter Jumper, so that the short-
ness of the skirt is not so stressed;
but the best usage among dress-
mnkers seem to be to keep» these
Jumper skirts from undue fullness.
Sometimes they are the conven»
tianal little wrap-around skirt of
other seasons. with hardly a hit of
fullness. Much liked are the
jumper shirts with fullness all con-

Chlflon for Evening.

For evening and elaborate after-
noon wear there are many chiffon
frocks. and chiffon is sometimes
mentioned as one of the most
promising of materials for resort
wear .this season. White chiffon
because of its very unserviceable-
ness has a distinctive charm. There
is never danger of over-populari-
satlon of anything so fragile.
Sometimes these chiffon frocks are
made quite simply. almost without
trimming; sometimes they are
