The next best thing to do, as
we can't all go abroad. is to delve
into the facts and fancies about
the play We've been on the look
out for two or three weeks for 4
summary of influences from the
clothes in the play, and a little bit
about the play itself. Here is the
best we've found, and as it comes
from "Women's Wear" We can
give it to you as authentic.
Recent Openings
The "Margot" that is on every
body's lips concerned with fash
ions, referI to the Marguerite de
Valois of the seventeenth century,
who married Henry w Of France,
about whom the Medici play IS
concerned. The play, still playing
in Paris, was written by Bourdet,
and has been one of the most sig
nificant coStume-play successes in
years, particularly in so far as it
has affected modern fashions.
Early evidences of response to the
costume designs were noted when
the play opened, but their influ-
ence on the recent Paris openings
has been almost overwhelming.
RuffS at the Neck
Most characteristic of this Mar
got or Medici style is the high
neckline encircled by a ruff. Main
bocher, Chanel and RochaS are
among the dressmakers who show
dresses with this unmistakable
feature, while others adopt ruffly
necklineS, as Alix and Chanel do.
Still another version of the
Margot neckline has to do with
yokeS, and Piguet works out this
idea with white Starched linen
The Washington times., 1936-02-20

making collars and yokes that are
worn on capes as well as dresses.
A high neckline in coat collars
is Paquin'S tribute to the influ-
ence. Lots of ruffled, lingerie
neckwear is the big outcome of the
influence. Even more "conStruc-
tive" in the development Of the
spring silhouette are the high and
wide shoulders, with sleeves cor
respondingly built up to produce
height and width. Practically every
couturier'S name can be included
in the list of those developing this
line.
Points On Shoulders
In the effort to build high and
wide, some houses introduce super
constructio that is, flowers are
perched on the shoulders, or a
canvas lining or ruffle shoulder
are used to make the point. When
you see squared shoulders in capeS,
too, and sleeves gathered into arm
holes, it's Margot. SlaSheS in
sleeves are of the same period.
Capes also are in the same
group, particularly when they have
square shoulders. In fact, fitted
waistlineS and peplums also are a
definite gesture in the same direc-
ton. The schoolgirl silhouette
of Mainbocher, consisting Of a fit
ted bodice and wide circular skirt
is on the same formula, and so is
an evening silhouette from Won
net, with long moulded bodice and
skirt mounted with fullneSS at the
hips. In general, the ornate styles
of affectation that modify the sill
houette may be aScribed to the
Margot influence.

New Fashion
Vogue

Fashions are talking Spanish
a brilliant new vogue. Hats may
have broad brims and flat crowns,
may rise cone-like to a point, fea-
ture chin straps or curving brims.
A high style adaptation of a Span
iSh sandal is of marine blue kid
skin with ribbon laces which tie
around the ankle. Boleros are a
chic addition to fresh new dresses,
and the famous and beautiful To-
ledo jewelry lends character to
the dark town dress.
Bright spring colors, heralding
the coming season, were chosen for
striking sports ensemble worn
by Ann Harding in her current
starring production, The Lady
Consents" The tailored frock and
seven-eighthS coat are made of pale
yellow wool very sheer in weight.
A second cheer woolen, widely
striped with pale rose, spring green
and white, is used to line the coat
and form the shawl which is tied
in front in a flat bow. The sleeves
are turned back to form deep cuffs
of the striped fabric. An off-the-
face sports hat of pale yellow felt,
yellow leather handbag, chamois
gloves and shoes of brown and
chamois-color are worn with the
suit.
The ensemble was designed by
Bernard Newman.

Rules for Eye
Make-Up
By DONNA GRACE

Eyes can pe SO aCCIdCGlVe' aLlo
since they are included in all "a
cial makeup, they are, as they
should be, our most attractive
feature. Nice eyes are never over
looked, and will illuminate the
plainest face.
There are rules for the eye make
up, and every smart girl knows
how to do her own. There is, how
ever, one little contention we may
have to encounter, and that is the
tired, wrinkled eyelids and hol-
lows under the eyes. These dried,
lined eyelids will detract from the
direct clear gaze Of the lovelieSt
eyes, and we must do something
to erase them.
The usual facial packs will al
ways do a lot to improve the skin
and relieve the tense lines, but we
have some special eye treatments.
We all know that eyestrain will
cause these lines and crows feet,
so be sure that your lights are
placed right and not too strong.
Hot water congresses for five
minutes will take away the tired
feeling. They will be more rest
full, If one can lie down and have
some one bring the hot pads, but
even a few moments over the
basin will be beneficial.
Follow these hot congresses by
cold ones; then massage the skin
with gentle smooth strokes around
the eyes.
Cool astringent pads, also will
restore the vivacious brilliancy to
the tired eyes.
Night creams for the eyes are
the rich tissue creams or heavy
oils-and a little Of the lubricant
is left on all night. Use good
eyewash every morning and night.
Dear Donna Grace: My hair is
all frizzed and split at the ends
and I brush it every night. What
can I do? MAY"
Dear May: When you brush
your hair, do not whip it at the
ends as is done by many girls.
Stroke the brush carefully to the
ends so that they will not be split,
and have a few oil treatments.
Dear Donna Grace: am 5
feet, 8 inches tall-weigh 125.
Do you think a mannish suit
would make me look too tall
and skinny? What type shoes?
CAROLYN"
Dear Carolyn: The mannish
styles, when all one tone, may
accentuate your height and Slen-
dernesS. The smart, large check
plaids-and sports clothes that
combine colorS, such as a blouse
of a different color from the
Skirt-crisp organdie neckwear-
will help to detract from your
height and thinnesS.
BabS:-A red nose can be re-
lieved by gentle scrubbing with

and apply a smooth tissue cream.

BOUILLON AND SOUP

Kindly explain to me the
correct use, for formal and in

cups and soup plates. "H."
For formal dinners. soup plates
trimmed, are the thing. The rim
less soup plate is in the Informal
class Of china, and may be cor

luncheons, or for supper.
Bouillon cups are correct to use
for luncheon, either formal or
informal. In them we serve hot
soup, clear or cream, or cold con.
somme in warm weather. With
bCuillon cups we use the small.

CLEAN SILVERWARE

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"A friend and have been
discussing whether or not it is
correct for one to wipe off his
Silverware before using it when
eating in a restaurant? I had
understood that it was incorrect.
Will you please enlighten me on
this subject? "T."
Wiping the silverpieces before
we use them in a restaurant may
be, to some people, necessary, but
it's terribly queer and awkward
process to behold.
It certainly isn't taking much
on faith! It's never to be recon-.
mended, and it's usually not neces-
sary, and it's never done by a
well-bred person.
This is the important point
about this: If one considers that
a silverpiece is not clean, one had
best summon the waiter and ask
for q fresh piece.

spoons.
And then there is the other very
important soup-cup. the cream
soup cup, Of more generous size
than the bouillon cup, and much
more popular. This twohandled
soup cup is appropriate for use at
formal or informal luncheonS, and
at all diners that are not strictly
formal. AS a matter Of fact,
many households have only these
cream soup cups for the serving
of all kinds of soups for all oc-
casions, unless strictly formal din
ners are part of their entertain
ing schedule. And these gener-
ous-sized soup cups deserve their
popularity. They are adaptable.
They are usually very good,look,
ing. And with them we can use
a more convenient and agreeable
spoon than the bouillon spoon:
in practically all silver patterns
nowadays we can find the cream
soup spoon, the spoon with the
bowl larger than the bowl of the
bouillon spoon. Soup served in
cream soup cups keeps hot much
longer, of course, than soup served
in soup plates.

of the size Of the, cream soup cup,
