To find the American beauty. the
~favorite flower of millionaires and
movie directors, the knowing one
does not go to a d~ebutante tea, or
yet to Newport or Southampton.
Rather, he goes to the Follies.
Here are the girls who are going to

So, to get a little advance in
formation regarding u next crop

some Of the dress rehearsals of the

sleuthing and find out, If possible,

highest value at the present time.
Find out I did!

unity is not the flapper. with her
disregard for things feminine. or

but the natural beauty, whose COM
plexion doesn't wash off, whose hair
is her own.
A year ago. Ziegfeld startled
Broadway by banning the hpstick'
rouge and the beaded eyelash. His
orders stand. If there is a girl IN
his company with dyed hair she
has been clever enough TO escape
detection.
The shade of hair most prevalent
this season is that medium brown
that prevails elsewhere. There are
some ETHEREAL blends and some stun
ming brunets, but the red-haired
girl is scarce, the reason being that
red hair, except the chemical va
riety, is scarce everywhere.
