of white oilskin which has raglan
sleeves and fitted waistline. She
wears white galoshes to match She
does not really need an umbrella
but if she should carry one just for
effect we are quite sure she would
be choosing one of those delectable
types made of transparent white oil
silk patterned in a design that looks
exactly as if actual chalk-white lace
had been applied. In reality the
lace magic is achieved in an allover
motif printed in opaque white.
Gayety on a gloomy, rainy day
and all because her raincoat is as
CHEEKY as streak of sunshine APP
plies to the attractively QUILTED girl
centered in the picture. The coat
has raglan sleeves to fit over any
garment and zippered front clos
ing. A cotton numerical print fab
ric in striking colors fashions it..
The big news about the rainproof
fabric of which it is made is that it
has been treated with new syn
thetic which scientists call koroseal,
which not only makes it impervious
to water, but also renders it spot
proof and fire resistant. The ma
terial is also processed so that it
does not become stiff or crack with
age. Thus does modern genius con-
tinue its wonders to perform. Note
her boots, they are the latest. They
are amazingly light weight, and easy
to slip on. Solve the hateful mud
spot on hosiery annoyance perfectly.
No clothes worries during spring
and summers inevitable showers
awaits the young miss standing to
the right in the group, for her new
raincoat is also made of a material
treated scientifically as above de-
scribed so that it will VIGOROUSLY
defy the onslaughts of the elements,
no matter how fierce the wind or
rain. This coat is fashion-right in
every sense of the word. 1t boasts
very new blouse-top silhouette with
full skirt giving the wearer a trim
figure by the use of shirring at the
waistline. If she so chooses she
can pull the parka hood up over her
hat for protection. The comfortable
bishop sleeves will fit over wooden
coat or a summer frock.

'MEMBER way back when
~ rainy day was the signal to
don your most melancholy looking
wearing apparel-dingiest hat that
the rain couldn't spoil, a coat with
but the single thought of protection
regardless of looks, and 'don't for
get your rubbers," the good old
fashioned clumsy kind that gave
you an inferiority complex every
time you wore them?
Thanks to the resourcefulness of
present-day fashionists no longer do
figures of gloom clad in somber
garb canopied with ponderous UNI
brellas that obscured the view and
had an exasperating way of collid-
ing with every kindred umbrella it
met, stolidly wend their way
through wind, rain and weather. To-
day rain-in-the-air is the bugle call
to us moderns to dress up in the
most cheerful, colorful, pleasing-to-
the-eye outfits creators of rainy day
fashions have dared to devise.
Gay-with-color and smartly styl-
lied rainy day ensembles are abso-
lutely essential in a properly ap-
pointed wardrobe, according to the
progressive Twentieth century way
of thinking. Unitarian, of course, is
the basic theme, but it is utility
served with smile in terms of cheer
and eye-catching attractiveness. The
dainty colorful transparent coats
with protective headpieces to match
that you can fold up in an envelope
have charm about them that adds
witchery to any rainy day scene.
Umbrellas are so lovely they nearly
outrival parasols.
Then there are the practical types
of rainy day ensembles made of ma
terials that are reversible = CAB
ardine on one side and tweed on
the other-grand for intensive wear.

THERE'S a superstition in
i Hollywood that an actor cast
as newspaper reporter goes
right on into bigger and better
roles. Robert Paige believes in
it firmly, because it's worked
for him.
He was brought into pic
lures from radio because of
his ability as a singer-and
then he was given one part
after another in which he had
no chance to sing. He seemed
to be stuck in nelodranatic
roles. Then he was cast as a news
paper reporter in Golden Gloves"
and again played a reporter in
"Opened by Mistake" And now
he's booked for the leading male
role in Paramount Dancing on a
Dine," musical comedy, in which
he'll play opposite Grace MacDon-
ald-and will sing and dance, at
last!

how many roles she has played on
