PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESS

United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, W.R)-The Coronation has
been responsible for the enormous
vogue of popularity that flowers
are enjoying this season.
Flowers trimming hats or worn
on the hair are almost inVarl-
ably arranged like crdwns. 1t
will be remembered that the hats
in the trousseau of the Duchess
of Windsor were trimmed similar
ly with bandeaux of flowers below
the brim or mounting upward on
the crown.
One of the prevailing hat styles
in Paris is a crown entirely OF
flowers and surrounded by plain
brim. Other small turbans and
tooues are made entirely of small
artificial flowers. Even the wide
floppy-brimmed hats for the races
or for garden parties are flower
trimmed. White gardenias or
roses make a startling contrast
on the wide brim of black straw
hat. Pique flowers are often used
on the less dresSy hats.
For evening wear, the flowers
are transferred directly on the
hair either in Coronation bands
or tucked in the hair which has
been piled him on the head in a
mass of curls. Although real
flowers are preferable for even
ing wear, many smart women are
seen with artificial flowers thrust
into the hair. White camellaS
are popular, as are gardeniaS.
Most women wear corsages of
flowers pinned at the shoulder
or at the waist, but some Pari-
slams band real flowers as an
outline of the decollete of dark
evening gowns.

Jack Benny Has
Costume That
EvokeS Thought
Comedian Can't Decide If
the Insult Was Inten.
tiOnal or Not
BY JACK Benny

written For The United Press)
Hollywood, July 11.-(UP)-. I
must be getting dumb because I'll
be darned if I can figure out
whether Hollywood is insulting me
or whether I've just been making
a mistake.
I got by in vaudeville for a good
many years and then I went on
the radio and have been getting
by there for a few years. Then
I went in the movies and now I'm
beginning to wonder.
The trouble started when I went
up to the office of Lew GenSler
who is producing Artists and
Models" my next picture.
But, Lew" I said rather sor-
rowful-like, "is this necessary"
"Oh, most assuredly, Jack" he
replied. I'VE simply must have
it,"
And I got the same answer
wherever I went. So I went back
to my dressing-room, locked the
door, and pulled down the shades;
I even turned off the lights so
that I couldn't see myself. And I
put the contraption on. 1t took
me about a half hour.
Then I opened the door and
peeked out cautiously. There
wasn't soul in sight on the street
that runs past the dressing room.
So I squared my shoulders and
stepped forth into the blazing SUM-
light.
And there I stood for the whole
world to see-attired in costume
that 1 still don't know whether
it belongs to Little Lord Faunt-
leroy, Robin Hood or Romeo.
There I stood for the world to
lee the depths to which I had
descended. After all these years
in which I got laughs dressed in
clothes that any man can wear, 1
find out, that for the movies, 1
have to put on a combination of
long winter underwear, an old
maids night cap, and a turkey
feather.
But the worst vast yet to come.
Of course, just at that moment
Andy Devine, who is working in
a picture called Double or Moth
ing" had to step out of his dress
ing room which is next to mine.
He looked at me for minute
as if he thought he was seeing
things.
I'll swear I wasn't drunk last
night" he said to himself in that
cracked voice.
Then he pinched himself.
Ouch" he howled, Yes, I'm
awake. So it must be Jack
Benny"
And he run towards me and
took me in his arms.
oh, Jack, you darling, you
sweet thing" he screamed. TO
think that I haven't really ap-
preciated you all these years"
That wouldn't have been so
Dad. 1 probably could have stood
hat.
BUT HE TRIED TO KISS ME.
I twisted out of his arms and
lived headfirst through the dress
ng room door and locked it
against the mob outside.
In the darkened room, I sat
lown in chair and reflected on
ny shame. I telephoned Gensler,
telephoned everybody I knew
rom the director to Adolph
luxor. They assured me that the
costume was necessary.
So they sent me a strong arm
squad from the police department
o guard me as I went to the set.
But will someone please tell me
his: Have I been insulted or
lave I been making a mistake all
ny life in thinking that I was a
