Washington critics and press
agents in Room 1872 of the
hotel Willard yesterday. He
heard a lot about what was
wrong with the barrage of
publicity which eminates from
Hollywood and took copius
notes.
In the rush of an early
departure I forgot to tell him
that WampaS (Western ASSocia-
ton of Motion Picture Adver-
tiSers) made a grievous mis-
take when it stopped picking
the most promising baby stars
in Hollywood. A lot of us would
never have heard of Wampas
if we hadn't looked twice at the
picture of some beauty labelled
a Wampas motion picture che

Hemlines for fall-where will
they be? And who isn't inter
ested? For on that important I
question hangs the fate of last
years dresses. as well as the de-
cision in buying new ones.
Most of us will be glad to
know that their position hasn't
changed radically. Winter hem
lines will be just about where
the longest of this summers
hemlineS are. And Of course
there's a correct length for
each and every time Of day.
Most Of the coats and dresses
for general daytime wear viii
be e. bit more formal this year
than they were last year. That
means that their hemlineS will
undoubtedly be about the mid
die of the calf. This length
is about 13 inches from the
floor on some women. but
that's not q hard and fast rule.
as lengths Of women vary so.
Informal daytime frockS.
such as sports clothes AND
sheer woollenS for shopping or
to wear TO the office win be !,
Just q bit shorter. If they're
for active sports they may even
come only to the upper part o.
the calf. There's nothing start
ling about skirt lengths like
these, is there? And the clothes
themselves will be just as praes
tical and wearable. Il
Goats will cover dresses when
they can, so they will be just q
little longer, than all Of your
dress hemlines, perhaps half an
inch longer. II you have p
strictly sports coat 1t viii be
q little shorter than your dress
or general. daytime coat.
For evening, skirts are really
long, gracious. and lovely. They
cling closely to the figure with
StatueSque lines. Their hens
may be just to the ankles, or
for greater formality, to the in
step. In these longer skirts it's
permissible to have the hem
line Just q little shorter in front
than in the back for greater
ease in walking, but that's the
only time in the whole Of the
fall mode when a hemline IS
not perfectly even all arouno.
II you would like to ask Miss
LaVille any questions about
your fall clothes, or about
fashion trends, call her at Dis

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Your
first fall hat. That's an excit-
ing thoughtl How's it going
to make you lookP Different9
Better2
In our c. iI1ion-Yet to both
questions. Because these new
fall hats are softer. .draped
even more becomingly. more
feminine In every way.
First of all. crowns are shall.
lower. Shallower in front than
in back, too. That pulls the hat
back off the eyes. shows the
forehead. .Gnd makes a becom-
mig frame fer your face.
More often than not, brims
are rolled back. Rolled back.
though. Solft, you know. Not
sharply turned back.
Double Brims
Something else newt Double
brims. A double thickness of
felt or velvet that gives . lovely
soft line. Sometimes these
double brims are cut alonL the
edge to make two brins.
Watch for the diagonal or
oblique line in these new hats.
We predict you're going to like
it. A brim further down on one
side than on the other. Or one
side tilted up and the other
down. It's decidedly different
and very becoming.
AS we see the early fall hat
picture-and what a pretty pic
ture it is, tooI-there are at
least five types you'll make no
mistake in choosing. To wear
right now and Vie whole fall
through.
The CIOche
Number one. That's your
good old standby. the cloche.
But look what's happened to it.
It's got that uplift feeling in its
brim. Exalted sort Of.
Has more of an angle up in
front, instead Of q down slant.
And its brim flares away at the
sides more. See it in the first
sketch.
Number two. Here's new
one. The hat with the obliQue
line. Shown in the second
sketch with one side longer
than the other. This has a
bandeau, too, and the new
double brim. But there are
dozens of ether versions. all
just as good to look at.
Number three. An old favor
ite with a new trick. The tur-
ban. but softly draped down
