Fashion note for the ladies!
Gloria Swanson, Paramount star,
returned recently from Europe with
six trunks, all of them filled with
Partisan gowns and wraps, many of
which will be seen in Miss SWansOn's
new Paramount picture, "The Impos-

view at the Plaza Theatre next We'd
nesday and Thursday.
American women are the best
dressed women in the world, regard
less of the fact that Paris turns out
the most beautiful gowns" she said.
Apparently they make them for
Americans, for you can find more
beautifully dressed women here in
one afternoon than you'll find in Paris
in a week.
every dressmaker's ship in Paris
is filled with American women and
men, too, for they seem to enjoy the
shopping. And, by the way, it does
my heart good to see lots of Ameri-
can men again. Europeans can't touch
them"
