Of course, I simply was dressing
in way that would show my own
rounded f1gure-silhouette is the
word the stylists seem to prefer
and, naturally, I chose gowns that
would show me off to the best adj

Who wouldn't? Again, I ask you.
Anyhow, the gowns I wore were
designed for me by a well-known
theatrical designer, Dorothy Tree,
who planned them according to my
suggestions from dresses worn thirty
years ago by Mrs. Jacob AStor and
the late Lillian Russell.

The gowns we're so beautiful and
feminine that they did cause lots
of comment. But, of course, Paris
never saw them. Outside of New

paraded before lots of style-con-

Seventy-five state, city and federal

When the raiders later stormed
the house behind a tear gas bar

bank robbers and found an arsenal
of machine guns and ammuni-

triumvirate of badly wanted
criminals, learned to operate a
machine gun while in the army.
