DEAR ALICIA HART:
 Tell 'eln to start getting out the hair brushes, pins and stickum. Hollywood wore more "up and off the face" haifdos at the Fashion Futures show than I've seen in all the time since the shoulder length mar1e came in. You can't imagine how good 1t was to see hair smooth and shiny.
 The sensation of the show was Mary Taylor,s Javarese colffure that Perc Westmore designed for the scandalous Qrry-Kelly black net dress with the split skirt and diamond garter. Her hiar was orawn straight back from her face like a cap, and the back di- yided in half and made into two huge, smooth buns that stood out behind each ear. Westmore even gave her eye browS little Orien- tai slant to accent 1t. Didn't look extreme; the Chinese and Java nsse costumes, of which there were plenty, need that makeup trick.
 ORIENTAL NOTE
 IS FREQUENT
 Designer Renie of RKO also had her dark hair in Chinese style, with a cluster of rosy pink, fresh carna- tionS behind each ear, and small diamond earclips. Edith Head of Paramount wore a twin of the ''guayavera" evening gown her Mo- del exhibited jrl the show, and, like the gown, the designers hairdo was a combination of Mexican and Chi nese: straight cut, curled-under bangs, a flat curl high at each side of the crown, and a smooth, straight hanging back with ends curled in.
 constance Bennett was there, of course -sA she never misses fashion show. She had leaf carved Chinese tortoiseshell clip holding her back hair in a smooth club at the nape of the neck, and the top of her hair was swirled high. Even the glamor girls who left. their back hair down wore the up-and- d-off-the-face arrange ment in front: Rita Hayworth showed her whole forehead and widows peak, had a flat swirl just above it.
 One of the most graceful arr arrangements was the one that 20th-Fox's Guy Pearce did for redhead Roseanne Murray. It had to be rather special because she was wearing Travis Banton's giove-sleeve dress of black and turquoise crepe, and its sable banded hood partly covered the hair. Pearce made a pompadour. not overhanging but Swirled up from the right, and balanced the left side with three plump, raised curls; three up4slapting rolls of hair finished the sleek back. The makeup was rather pale, with dark brown mascara, a little blue eyeshadow, and deep but not bright orange-red lip rouge.
 GIBSON GIRL"
 COMES BACK
 Another pretty redhead, Margaret Hayes, wore almost Gibson Girl arrangement, but again the poinp- adour wasn't exaggerated- more just soft piles of hair and well off the forehead.
 Lady Mendl gathered her chin chillaS around her and swept out during the cowboy songs between the acts, but until then everybody stared in fascination at her orchid hsir, encaSed In an orchid net sl1ood spangled with silver stars and Wyeathed in gaydenias. If a movie star had worn 1t, 1t would have been chased "typically Hollywood" I saw plenty of gold dust scattered around. One girl put . gold lame bow in her yell low, gilt-sprinklec hair, to match the lame stripes on her white gown.
