Seven Experts
Pass on Gowns
Worn by Stars

The philosopher who re-
marked that it takes nine tail
OrS to make a man, possibly
was watching dress being de-
signed for a star to wear in a
motion picture. The garment
must pass the official o. K. of
sewn persons before it is shown
on the screen.
Models by Patou, Chanel
and Lanvin are not more
closely inspected than are those
which Travis Banton designs
for the feminine stars at Para
mount.
None Are Exempt
This includes not only his
more gorgeous creations" such
as worn by Marlene Dietrich,
Mae West, Claudette Colbert
and Sylvia Sidney, but also the
nondescript at fairs such as
those Pauline Lord wears in
the title role of Mrs. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch"
First the art director goes to
work with Banton. They go
over books which give sthem
the style dresses worn in 1901,
when the story of Mrs. Wigs"
takes place. Nothing is copied
exactly, but Banton bases his
designs on the pictures shown.
All Have Voice
The sketches are shown to
the producer of the picture
and his assistant for their ap-
prevail. Next Director Norman
Taurog gets a look, and makes
suggestions. Lastly, the color
scheme is discussed with Ca
meraman Charles Lang, A. S.
c., and academy OF science
award winner. Lang suggests
which colors should be used as
best for his backgrounds, lights
and surroundings. Finally, Miss
Lord is consulted, and the gar
ment made.
On the completion of the pic
ture the dress goes into moth
balls and is kept in stock for
possible future use in another
period picture.

CAu0J ~ WILL SGd1 y uGAG year,
So it's we'll to review resort
fashions right now. From such
a study we can determine al
most to the small fine points,
what we will all buy for mid
winter resort wear, in case we
are fortunate enough to go
South, and what we will buy in
May or June for summer wear
here.
From the European resorts
we have various reports, and,
boiled down, they show some
very important trends. We
nearly always follow them, SO
it's we'll to observe what is 60
ing on over there.
Skirts Are FavoriteS
Strange to say, skirts for
beach wear outnumber shorts,
but not by a great margin. They
run to two styles, the button
down-the-front type, usually left
unbuttoned at the hem by two
or three buttons, and the skirt
with elastic top and a slash at
the hem for greater freedom of
action. Matching shorts are
worn under skirts.
There's a great increase in
natural colored linen, and many
costumes have new color note,
geranium pink. That's so diff
ferent from anything we've seen
on the beach, that it sounds like
a coming fashion.
There are more shorts than
Stacks, and a new fashion is
pleated tops in shorts. such as

Or houses of metal and glass,
or of various compositions that
are more suited to sanitary and
comfortable living than the
homes we now occupy.
Those of us who love old
houses and furniture may never
come to this new state Of az
fairs, But there are thousands
and millions of people in this
country who like the new, and
for them, these types are ideal,
Houses Look Newest
Houses lead the way in their
dramatic qualities, their new
ness, their lack of likeness to
anything we have ever had be-
fore. And furniture is not far
behind. We do not consider it
quite as different because we
are more used to it, but it too
has it's dramatic elements.
Metal makes much of the new
est furniture. and it is used in
more ways than you would sus-
pect, just from observing Casu-
ally. You are familiar with
chromium furniture for very
modern rooms, and metal furni-
ture for the porch and garden,
But you may be a little surprised
to think of metal for your bed
room.
For Bedrooms
The truth is, however, that
metal bedroom furniture is less
startling than for most rooms.
It is shaped in modern, but not
ultra modern pieces, and it IS
painted in the colors that we are
used to associating with bed
rooms, soft pastels, white,
cream, or in combinations. Some
of it is painted to look ike
wood.
You can have your furniture
harmOnlZe WlIn youl lOoAll' VI
you can create a whole color
scheme much more easily WIN
metal furniture than you can
with the natural woods. And
if you tire of the color you
merely have to have it painted
again.
Good for Children
Families with children should
look with favorable eye eSpe'
cially at the new modern metal
furniture. Not only is it sturdy
and more scar-proof than WOOD
but there is the added adVan-
tage that as the children grow
up, their tastes change, ana
YOU can change the color, the
general appearance Of their fur
niture by a mere coat of paint
without having it look strange
and second hand" as so much
furniture does when you
paint it. .

A New Powder Box

PARIS-There is a new pow
der-box. It straps to the wrist and
is about the size of a mans
wrist watch. Very decorative and
easy-to-get-at. The back may
be enamelled or just plain metal
and engraved with ones name.
It is smart to load ones wrists
with all manner of strange
bangles and bracelets. On hot
days clear glass looks cool and
icelike. There is a crystal fash

One of the midsummer fab

Imperial Japanese Princess Wears

noted that Her Imperial Highness has taste for

A New Color

PARTS, Aug. 21.-Patou's col
lection of fall and winter styles,
which has been awaited with
considerable interest because Of
the unquestioned standing in
the mode of this house, has
awakened great interest this
year because of the beautiful
fabrics displayed and also be-
cause Of the introduction of new
colors.
Patou always can be relied
upon to emphasize some new
shade. This year it is green
which might be classed as be-
ing of a middle shade of green
and to which he has given the
name of DonyX. In his treat
ment of other colors, he allows
black to predominant, and en-
hances it with white or vivid
shades. He is showing brown,
beiges, and greens combined
with what he calls finder
Brown.
His collections are further
distinguished by striking pat
terms in heavy rayon clocky
crepes and taffeta; rayon vel
vets; cotton velvets; jersey
woven with steel beads; tartan;
and bright satins, several of
which are in rayon. Included
also in the collections are dotted
woolens; boucle fabrics; and
considerable faille. Rayon IA
come taffeta and tartan vel
vets are also displayed. For
evening fabrics, he has included
satins and faille velvetS; epingle
and velvet with chenille ribs.

men wear. The majority of the
shorts are rather long, coming
to within a few inches of the
knee. They usually button on
either side of the waist. Coarse
natural linen, white sailcIoth,
and linen in blue or geranium
pink are the favorite materials.
The most general theme is
contrast in the two parts of the
costume. Checked Bingham
shirts are worn with many
shorts or skirts. Tailored shirts
of all kinds are worn, including
the polo types. Plain colored
linen is a favorite, and kerchiefs
of all types are popular, especial
ly those in colorful prints, such
as the Mexican or Bali types
we've had in America.
String Sandals Worn
Sandals of crocheted string
are thrust on the feet, usually
with no stockings or socks.
Crocheted headbands are fast

deal, including the geranium
pink mentioned before.
