HOLLYWOOD, May (N.AN.A).-
The iron hand in the velvet glove
was a fine old saying in the days that
are gone. but the velvet hand in the
crepe de chine glove brings it right up
to Hollywood 1888.
Miriam Hopkins arrived at a garden
party the other day wearing a pair OF
-button-legnth gloves in lowered
print crepe de chine.
1 pinched myself to see if it were
really true when spied Carole
Lombaro's white organdie gloves-elbow
length-which she wore with white
organdie dinner gown.
And Adrienne Ames' gloves of pink
lace, worn with a trailing evening
gown of the same. are fetching, and
don't mean maybe
OF course. if you're chic your sports
gloves are yellow knit to match your
yellow sweaters. and brilliant scarlet
schiaparelli mittens are very doggy with
all-White sports things. just as the
white ones and ones of brilliant blue
accent other costumes. Yellow with
brilliant blue this year and sharp blue
when you wear yellows.
Not to be outdone by the women of
Hollywood, the boys have gone a bit
hysterical in their sartorial effects.
White mess jackets of flannel have
been ordered by Alexander Kirkland to
wear for Summer months in place Of
the conventional tuxedo coat. If your
shoulders are broad, your waistline mar
row and your hips all they should be.
no smarter effect could be planned by
a young man planning to be smart
1t is this young man who brought in
the vogue for urquart flannel shirts
with ties to match, sometimes in checks
Of very unusual color and cut. The
Prince of Wales had better look to his
laurels with this lad about
Double duty sweaters for men and
women are new rage. Some of the
smartest include the color combinations
of white and blue-milk white on one
side and clear dark blue on the other

gard it that way) an economy. Soft
almond green and clear wood brown

off-White and brown-wOrn by Miriam
Hopkins. The navy and white one is
worn by Joel McCrea.
The floral hat continues in popu-
larity Some of the outstanding ones
include that printed organdie broad
brimmed hat of Gail Patricks. with a
cluster of the very flowers found in
the print at the front of the crown all
knotted with a fine tie Of ivy green
velvet
VIENNA Hillie wears a beige straw
turban, with the entire top in flesh
pink violets. The little skull cap
perched on one side of Joan Crawford's
shapely head is of white velvet violets-
and YOU can imagine it topping a suit
of very rough ink-blue crepe with a
chalk-white tie bowed very high be-
meath her chin.
Kay Francis wears huge blue straw
hat with a band of organdie tied about
the crown and bowed splendidly. How
this beauty can wear white! One OF her
smartest gowns is. made of white cot
ton fabric which. at a glance. looks
like wool. 1t has a rough diagonal
weave almost as high as corduroy and
is tailored severely with white pearl
buttons trimming its bias top. With it
is worn a hip-length cape In soft
almond green. Short white suede
gloves on her smooth, tanned arms.
And that rhythmic countenance tanned
to a ripe bronze patine. Those clear,
gray-green eyes. White Of teeth and
eyeballs-and you have a beauty that
can't be surpassed.
Marion Davies is pretty cute in the
new dotted Swiss in navy blue with
many, many white dots. Sheer,
