Club Habana is now a 12-hour
spot. Beginning at 4 in the after
noon cocktails are served in the
Caribbean room. Next comes a
delicious dinner from $50 until

who is responsible for that good
food. Then a bit of supper dane

Enters and Borgia, now in their

new set Of dances at Heigh-Ho.
They are worth a brief descrip-

The Great God Brown; jungle

For the past year your CORE

the prize goes to Milton Barrett,

presented it to me. That was the
first time I have ever had cham.
payne in a night club and prob
ably the last.
And speaking Of the Dude
Ranch, a change has really come
over the place. Ralph Garren and
his band are now playing in a shell
like the National Symphony used
this summer and the whole room
has been done over with a new
type of celotex which improves
the acoustics. When the painting
is finished the Dude Ranch will
be a very attractive spot.

Saturday night begins at 9 now
in the Mayflower lounge. Thus,
beginning tonight, all persons who
like to sip with the Swanky have
one more hour to do so. Buddy
Harmon and the boys will start
playing at 9 also. This is an ex-
ceuent idea as the more time you
have to dance to this band the
better off you will be. And do not

he was tops, in New York he was

And very soon everyone will be

The Ambassador Hotel offered
its second spot to the after-dark

it will take a lotion truck to get
you out. Harry Albert and his
music; Phil Diamond, vocalist;
Marcy and LaBelle, smooth dance
team; Florine Martin, songstreSs,
and plenty of atmosphere will
keep everyone interested for the
whole evening. AS matter of fact
this room looks like a sure bet to
be a success.

BY BARBARA BELL.

GONE of the most amazingly con-
Trajectory fashions have come out
of this season. You'll find woods worn
for evening! Oh, they are very fine
and soft, but they are woods for all
that. And the shirtwaist dress is
worn morning, noon and night. To-
ward late afternoon it is made of
lame, or metal jersey. or crinkled
crepe, but it is the same shirtwaist
dress that appears in flannel or wool
jersey earlier in the day. Women like
the informality of the fashion and
somehow simple styles achieve tremen-
dous Importance when taken out of
the class of materials for which they
were originally designed into more
sophisticated type of fabric.
This frock, for instance, Is very
easy to visualize if made Of some nice,
lightweight wool, or the crepes that
are worn by day. Can you imagine it
done In a marvellous glmmetal lame,
accented with a bow and buttons of
cerise velvet? Well, it is simply lovely,
and will answer for the informal
evening or dinner dress which every
body seems to need this season. And
it need not be gunmetal: it can be
silver, or gold, or copper as well. Ex-
cept that the metallic effect must be
somewhat subdued and the trimming
not too elaborate. Or it might be of
black silk jersey, with a bow of
starched white lace and buttons Of
rhinestone. Many smart women are
wearing that combination now. And
having glorified this simple frock no
end by telling you what may be done
with so smart and wearable design,
we'll just add that you may want it
in silk crepe to wear for the simplest
afternoon party or fine wool to wear
at any time.
