Beauty
Myrna 10y Is
Gifted
By DONNA GRACE

High on the list of beautiful
women who have become known to
us all by way of the glamorous
path of filmoom, there is to be
found the name of the fair,
spirituelle Myrna 10y.
She is noted for her delicate
features, her grace of manner, and
a certain natural aloofness which
may explain, in part, the aura Of
mystery with which her friends
have surrounded her. This aloof.
ness is not an assumed attitude,
let me add, but seems to partake
of her genuine detachment Of
manner.
AS is the case with so many Of
Hollywood'S beautiful women, her
background lies amid the ranches
and ranges lying west of the
Father of Waters, where she spent
a carefree childhood playing about
the beauty spots that surround
Helena, Mont, for birthplace. Her
birthday is August 2.
When she reached high-school
age, her parents sent her to one
of Los Angeles fashionable schools
for young women, WeStlake. Here
her natural gift for sculpture was
soon recognized, and very soon an
art school was chosen where shs
could develop this talent and study
art.
Fortunate chance brought her
work to the attention of the ia.
nous Rudolph Valentino, during
the season when Mrs. Valentino
was producing What Price
Beauty" with Nita Naldi as star.
and Myrna 10y was asked to play
bit in this production. This
marked her debut on the screen,
and soon she took up dancing,
with so much success that she APP
peared publicly as a dancer, be.
fore her first leading role in
Renegade" 1t was in Trans
atlantic" that she proved a sen.
sation. Since then she has en-
acted the many enviable roles
that have given her fame in
rapid succession.
She is tails feet, inches, and
weighs, in fine proportion, l25
pounds. She is a natural redhead,
although her hair was originally
auburn in tone.

Styles

Our feathered friends have had
to contribute lavishly to make hat
trimming. Feathers are used for
all types of hats and many models
are made entirely of feathers. A
small flat pillbox is made wholly
of small black cog feathers, with
long outstanding quill placed at
the side made of the same feathers
centered by tiny multi-colored
plumeS.
Still blooming as a major
fashion conceit is the flower,
whether it be a rose, a tulip or a
bunch of violets. A lovely dinner
suit has epaulets of violet and vel
low pansies flung over each
shoulder. A nice accessory is a
tiny bolero of net thickly covered
with violetS.
Watch out for the full7skirted
flared coat with chest-tight bodice.
For it will be important this
autumn. Mainbocher makes such
a model in navy blue wooden, the
waist marked and bound by a
jersey sash, the neckline collarless,
the flared skirt fuller by far in
back than in front.
A warm note in the guise Of fur
trimming will appear on many
autumn frockS. A dress Of bronze
leaf green crepe has a collar and
pockets of brown-dyed squirrel. A
black frock has a rundown col
lar of ermine.
If you like sasheS with long ends
you will want a new evening dress
and cape of sheer black, and both
bodice and girdle with long, loose
ends made of white satin-backed
crepe.
Time flies, and so it won't be
so very long before we climb into
black velvet for important eve.
nings. A charming model has a
brief flaring peplum lined with
pink taffeta, a calyx collar, also
lined in pink.

BROKEN ENGAGEMENT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have recently broken my en-.
gagement through a mutual and
friendly agreement. Will you
please tell me how to word note
to my ex-fiance'S mother which
would be appropriate to send with
the gifts am returning to her
gifts which she gave me during
our engagement? s."
Your note might be worded
something like this:
Dear Mrs. Smith (use the form
Of name you used in addressing
her while you were engaged to
her SOM:
This is a difficult letter for me
to write, as you can well under
stand, for since / was with you
last so many changes have come
about. However, these necessary
readjuStmentS have not in the
least changed my devotion and
friendship for you, and do pray
that our MISUNDERSTANDING
will always shine, never be tar
niShed. You have always been so
kind to me, always so understand
ing, always so thoughtful. For
this 1 thank you, with all my
heart.
"And now this letter Is called
for another understanding. With
your characteristic generosity you
have given me so many lovely
gifts during my engagement to
Bob. Since the reason for these
gifts no longer exists, / think it
honest and right to return them
to you, again with my appreciation
of your goodness and my prayer
for your understanding.
Devoted love to you, my high
est thanks, and my hope to see you
very soon.

BLACK TABOO
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

NONOOHAAIAt9EHa
as it good form to wear black
to a weddings formal one? In
the small town where my cousin is
to be married the local dreSsmaker
has told her sister that she will
dress her "Stunningly" in black.
The sister is a young woman about
rs years of age. 1t has been my
understanding that black should
never be worn at wedding. R."
It would definitely not be good
form for the brides sister to wear
black to the wedding. A black
dress isn't in keeping with the
occasion.

Etiquette
What to Wear
At Wedding
ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My son is to be married very
soon. 1 am 40 years of age and I
would like to know what it would
be proper for me to wear?
"The wedding is to be very quiet
because of difference in reIigiOn)
but the reception that will follow
is to be for all the relatives and
friends, and will be from 2 until
5 In the afternoon. / am a semi
invalid, and since ! have to wear
large supports, 1 have to wear
jackets with all my dresses.
what shall 1 say to the bride,
and to her mother?
MOTHER"
Since the reception is an after
noon reception, it will be perfect
taste for you to wear a dress with
a jacket. The dress should be of
street length, and Of a material
appropriate for day wear. If one
of the lovely new shades Of gray
is becoming to you, this would be
an excellent shade to choose. Or
an interesting shade Of blue.
Every bride likes to be told that
she is a lovely bride" and
especially by the groom's mother!
So say this, and say, too, how
happy and proud you are to have
her as your daughter" And say
to the brides mother what a lovely
reception it is, and how charming
her daughter looks and mo
wonder my son loves her so
dearly"
After this beginning 1t will be
very easy for two mothers to talk
enthusiastically about their chill
dren who are the hero and hero
inc" of the important occasion!

L name of this cologne, which
is grand without its looks to help
it along, and is grander when you
take look at the bottle. The
stopper is a huge black shake,
complete with face, and crossed
ribbons give a look of "chesti-

ders are real gold epaulets, and
of course the whole uniform is
inspired by the coming corona

ers realize the necessity of having an
entry fee" the letter from Harlow read.
But would very much prefer to see
this money used for the purpose OF
publicizng tournament golf in general
and each individual tournament"

fashion, as follows:
You have asked for our reaction to
your decision and we hope you Will
accept it in the very friendly spirit
in which it is written.
Golf is great game-a big game
and We are entirely mindful of the
part your members contribute to its
development. but in our opinion. the
golfer himself is the heart of the game
and he alone will continue TO make
the professional side of i profitable
or improbable to the members of
your association Vt seems bit pre-
sumptuous to us for your association
to dictate to the public, upon which
it depends. the terms upon which
that public can work and pay to sup
port you. It's entirely possible to kill
the goose and face the absence Of
golden eggs in the form of tourna-
ments.

I'VE are being entirely frank with
you and our critic .Sm of your attitude
is meant to be both constructive and
friendly since the decision you have
reached will. if most sections Of the
country react to it as We do. seriously
curtail your output. We realize that
we represent very small percentage
of the broad public opinion, but We
believe you want frankness, at least
from your friends.
Should we develop tournament in
this territory We would prefer to
invite your members, submitting the
particulars to you, at which time.
should our offer not be sufficiently
attractive. you could courteously and
tactfully decline it. We sincerely be-
lieve you will find more cooperation
in such a procedure.
.'As to the entrance fee, you are
again asking the golfer for additional
money by assuming the expense Of
your publicity. 1t is entirely human
to get as much as you can and you
will get it in direct proportion to the
public's wish to see you play.
Needless to add, this committee Is
intensely interested in the game Of
golf and in professional golfers-in
the order named-and it is our earnest
desire to be helpful to both.
