Likes Sport Clothes Best
For this woman, acknowledged by
critic and expert and layman to be the
most beautiful in the world. is as cs-
sentially American in her dress as she
IL in her viewpoint. In the face of a
fabulous income for each picture she
makes. she sticks to her distinctly
American sports clothes for day wear.
MY wardrobe is divided into two
parts" she told me. Sports clothes
aud evening dress. I have no n -be-

dresses or fancy taillours. I jump

Negllgees Like Dreams
As we chatted she was resting in the
loveliest jade green negligec you ever
saw. It was of chiffon brocaded in
velour, Grecian lined, with a train
panel suspended from the shoulders in
the back. caught in front at the belt
with a girdle of old gold cord. The
wide flowing sleeves were edged with
deep chinchilla cuffs, which fur fin
ish the straight panel in the back.
If there is anything more becoming
a lovely woman than Il flattering
negligee it is yet to be discovered. One
wishes these intimate affairs were al
lowed mt informal dinners to which out
side guests were invited. Just for the
sheer sense of beauty they give. Mod
esty certainly Is not the reason for
them from society in gen
eral. since they are rarely. if ever, as
decollete as a simple evening gown.
Miss Macdonald has another dream
Of a negligee. She sticks to the lines
of classic beauty which become her
we'll. This has q base of soft sapphire
