Ever since a court forced Mae West

really was married twenty-six
years ago to one Frank Wallace,
she has been in seclusion. Couldn't

In those odd moments when they

Hollywoodians are raving over the
beautiful newcomer, Zorina, who
is under contract to Sam Goldwyn.
She is an enchanting young woman
about nineteen years old. Born in
Norway, not far from the Arctic
Circle, she went to school in Berlin,

N° MATTER how much your
4 taste and the general tenor
of your life may call for practical
tailored and sportsy-type clothes,
none other than a really and truly
dress-up dress will answer to oc-
casion. BM anything more apropos
can be found than either of
stunning models pictured in the
way of dressiest-dress gowns that
tune graciously to afternoon func-
tions, garden parties and such, pray
tell where is it?
The illustration presents exactly
the type of dresses we have in
mind. Here you see two gowns that
are one hundred per cent voguish.
They are modern up to the instant,
and they are fascinating in regard
to hicety of detail and they carry
that air of sartorial elegance which
every woman of discriminating
taste covets. Make it yourself, have

you will, a dress of the type of eith-

give you endless satisfaction,

way of social affairs unless extreme
formality demands ultra full-dress
attire, gowns such as pictured class
their wearers as among the those-
present in the best dressed group.
This gesture of dying lace in exact
match to the silk sheer it trims is
proving a most exciting venture to
designers in that it invites such
free play of imagination. Then, too,
the lace being the identical color

Current collections include both
dark and light sheers with match-
ing lace trims. A costume done in
monotone color scheme of either
the very fashionable spruce green
or beetroot red would be outstand-
ing. Grays in the pastel shades are
greatly stressed, also rose-beige.
As to swank styling the redingote
theme prevails since it offers such
excellent opportunity to introduce
border effects with lace insertions
after the manner shown in the
charming dress to the left in the
picture. This redingote gown is a
most fetching style for the cocktail
hour. It is made of gray silk mar.

frock combines sheerest wool weave
