 No smart woman ever tries to copy exactly the makeup, hair-do or clothes of a celebrity or even g beautifully groomed friend, or course. She realizes that any ate tempt at out-and-out n1micry re- suits in loss of individuality which is, after all, the foundation or real chic.
 However, there's no reason in the world why careful study of the clothes and grooming tricks of some woman she admires wouldn't help the average girl to be more chic. MADE STUDY OF
 SMART WOMEN
 One girl we know has changed in two years from badly put-together, in fact almost dowdy, little thing into stunning creature. She brought about the change simply by making Q thorough study of smart women-how they shop, how they put together 8 seasons wardrobe and so on. The fact that all of her studying had to be done long distance makes her story even more interesting. She learned about her heroines from their pictures and from stories about them, not from seeing or talking to them.
 She saved pictures of Marlene Dietrich in slimly tailored suits and SO learned what kind of accessories the actress wears with suits to achieve such great chic. Also in her file of newspaper and magazine clippings are photographs of Mrs. Harrison Williams and Mrs. Byron Toy in evening dresses, in sports clothes and day dresses.
 MADE THE MOST
 OF HERSELF
 She finally decided that the kind of clothes actress 1lka Chase wears would be most suitable for her type, mode of life and so on. She studied photographs of Miss Chase.--.the kind of suits the actress wears, the frilly blouses and amusing hats worn with them. Meanwhile, she read fashion reports thoughtfully, read Q book or two on wardrobe planning, learned something about fabrics, colors that are truly becom- Ing to her.
 In other words, with Ilka Chase and a few famous fashion .rninded women as shining examples, she made a business of learning how to make the most of herself. And she's been highly successful at 1t.

silk jersey. Both have shirred sec. tions to create apron lines and thickiy draped look midway between neck and waistlines.
 The slim silhouette is prevalent throughout the collection. Lace all American-m - is Q favorite fabric. Waistlines are slightly lower and 50 are pockets. Ming yellows, ginger tones, black and navy, white prints on black are prominent colors.
 Sophie Gimbel - she'd prefer to be called just Sophie from now on - highlights Quiltin. Suits, coats, evening jackets and full- length evening coats are of quilt ed silk jersey and pique, with tiny sequins often dramatizing the diamond pattern of the quilt- ing.
 Sophie does much wonderful things with our old favorite, the shirtwaist dress, that 1t won't recognize itself as an old favorite. The shirtwaister line appears in suave dinner dresses with volum- inous skirts of taffeta or faille and tops of alluring. revealing lace. And 1t appears again in complete ly charming white silk and white cotton dance dresses with wealth of handmade detail such as tucks, shirring, intricate stitch- ing to form definite designs.

 invariably gored for daytime, and there are more full evening skirts than those draped to slirnness.
 The immediate conclusion that Mrs. Average Consumer might draw from a report of the spring fashion openings of Sophie and Fra enenson--both top-ranking in their fleld--is comforting. It is that she can dress to suit herself for the next few months anyway.

BATTLE RACES OVER THE NEW
 "SLOPING" LINE
< * *
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA SerVlce otaH COETeSpOnueHt
 New York The battle of the shoulder line rages furiously in the spring fashion openings of New York's most famous designers.
 Tall, blonde and beautiful Sophie Gimbel, head designer at Saks Fifth Avenue, scornfully rejects sloping shoulder lines as unbecoming, rin- necessary and unworthy of her ar- tistic attention. She points out that obvious padding has not existed in clothes of her creation for the past three seasons, anyway. She further points out that nobody is going to find either conspicuous padding or complete lack of padding In any collection of hers anytime soon.
