What the Hollywood
Sfors Are Wearing

HOLLYWOOD e a t. h e r
bags with belts to match are
fashion news. But even bigger
news is the fact you can make
them yourself.
Janet Leigh was one of the
first in Hollywood to show off
a natural-colored leather belt
and bag which she had made.
The belt is about two-and-
one-half inches wide with a
gold buckle and a flap in the
shape of an arrow.
Her long and narrow cylin-
der-shaped bag is suspended
with gold loops from a wide
over-the-shoulder strap. 1t
opens by the same-styled gold
buckle and arrow-shaped flap
featured on the belt.
Janet, who is seen in Me-
tro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Act of
Violence" says that patterns
and directions for making
these feathers items can be
purchased at local pattern
counters.
