 Color, more color, and then color! It's the war slogan of de- signers and manufacturers Of every thing from dresses to diadems. They got going with 1t last fall. in tac., saying col.r and courage are syn onymous for most women, and they've made 1t practically the uni versal herald of spring.
 So if you're color -timid, better get some color ideas of your OWL now.
 With skin clear and fair, hair and eyes vivid, you wil! not go wrong with the popular primary colors, red, blue, yellow; nor with the high-style purplish pinks. But watch greens, which usually Hat ter red-heads and some brunettes.
 Brown is more and more super seding black as the backlog-color for the wardrobe. Many @ woman who took to black because Paris made it the hallmark of chic Is in for pleasant surprise when she tries out brown. It is becoming to many types and it's versatile. You can do with 1t the same little ac- cessory tricks you used with black to create an illusion of having more costumes than you can count. Your white collars will not be so good with 1t as they were with black, but you can tint them pink, yellow, or blue, and thus the basic brown dress will afford as much variety and a1c0 more verve
 KINDLE YOUR
 NATURAL COLORING
 But if you are not vivid enough for all this bright Llumage? Many women believe that--and are mis- taken therein. One clever custom designer has made a signal suc- cess by putting -timid clients into cheerful hues. And hue is the important word in that sentence. For instance, a girl with sallow complexion and hair of indifferent brown might suppose that yellow would be the last color on earth she sho- d consider. But let her try a good lime yellow or char treuse; it might bring out an as- tonishing amount of pigment which she never knew she had. Or take woman with nondescript grey blue eyes. pale hair. A light grey would make her ghostly. But there's an azure for her "a strong blue grey. It will kind.e her natural col- oring-spectacularly.

ner bid only five spades over five hearts, Mrs, Dickens decided that the slam was too risky. She knew she must lose on one ace, and the chance of avoiding the loss of a heart trick was too slender, in view of her partners lack of enthusiasm for spades or hearts until a choice was forced upon her.
 Many other pairs reached six spades and made only four through trying to fulfill the slam contract Mrs. Dickens played safe for five by ruffing out one low heart and giving Up the ace and king ol hearts.

Hollywood circles tend toward the masculine at the moment. Some film ladies even borrow directly from husbands, brothers and fath- CTS. Some are a little more fem mine. But the masculine influence is spreading.
 There are degrees in the apeing of men. For instance, the most stunning suit-coat in Carole Lom- bard's entire wardrobe for ITO Be or Not to Be-" is straight steal from a mans trench coat. Design ed by Irene, it is made of wool gabardine, fashioned exactly after the easy ct, raglan -sleeved, cape back, ever popular trench coats. It has the same tie belt, the same pull gathered cuffs. A dashing note, out of character, is its notch- ed beaver collar.
 BEAVER COLLAR
 LENGTHENS LIFE
 Irene claims that it was on Car ole's express orders that this coat was made. The natural tan color was a lombard demand, as was the feature that gives it a longer life than many fur-collared coats. The beaver can be removed to re- veal a plain, self-material collar. Already, Carole has put her bid in for the coat for her personal ward robe.
 Plenty of talk was caused not lcng ago by Merle Oberon. She had been on short visit to New York. When her husband, producer Alex aLder Korda, met her at the Los Angeles railroad station on her re- turn, he was shocked silly. No wonder. Merle was wearing a suit precisely like one he thought was still hanging at home in his clothes closet.
 That's where Alexander Korda was wrong. So enamoured Of this particular suit of his was wife Merle that she had snagged it away e. cretly when she left for New York. There she haG 1t rcfashioned into suit for herself.
