HOLLYWOOD IN PERSON.

CHIC MODELS WORN,

According to .Tcauette Mac Donald and those who design her gowns, black and all shades of blue should be worn by redheads. Yes, and the transparent dinner hat —since these articles of millinery are in high favour now —should be tiie red head's greatest delight since ■it sets off her colouring to perfection. All of these shades, including yellowed greens and browns, with golden lights in them, are to be found in Jeanette's costumes which Adrian designed for her latest picture. One sheer wool suit of bud green has a dashing collar and cull's of leopard fur. lint the chic idea of the suit is the purse of leopard which goes with it. A green velveteen scarf and a beret of the same green, with some feathers in self tones, complete the harmony.

The most eiTeetivc costume, the star ela ims, is a black velvet sheath gown, simply cut and elegant with a single white flower of fabric posed high at the neckline.

A black crepe daytime frock has a cape collar edged with fluted ruflle. And the same fluted rallies appear in tiers 011 the sleeve and above the hemline. White grosgrain ribbon bows at the bodice and long tab cuffs for contrast make this an unusual frock.

The blue tones come in with the sapphire blue pyjamas worn. Wide trousers are topped by a fitted coat fastening with white buttons and finished with white reveres that end in a sailor collar.

I adore the name of the fabric which fashions the blue evening gown worn by • leanette .Mac Donald. says Molly Merrick. Heaven blue tulle they call it. and it seems the perfect fabric for a period gown dotted with tiny silver sequins. Golden brown comes in with a chic dress of beige wool flatteringly striped in golden brown. The dress lias a huge velvet bow at the neckline and a wide belt of the velvet. The beret hat and gloves are in the golden brown velvet.

Marion Davies introduces the sombrero felt quite charmingly in her new picture. It. is the newest type hat to wear with a suit, the milliners say, and has a wider than usual brim. This one is in beige felt—the colour of a sombrero to be exact. It has a dashing black band about half-way up; the band then rises in a sharp slant and ends at one side in a cluster of curled feather tips. It sounds a bit eliici to me, but if you wear it with the corrcet nonchalance it will go off well.

If you're curious to know how Marie Dressier dresses away from the camera, here's a glimpse of the costume she was lunching in the other day at one of the smart places.

A chocolate brown crepe frock was cut surplice to make for slimness in the body outline. A tie of the same fabric, with pleated ends, hung straight down at either side when Miss Dressier was relaxed, but was tied high under the chin, with its pleated ends giving the full-in-front gesture that is so chic now. A brown velvet beret type hat was worn with the frock. When Marie Dressier rose to depart, she donned a beige woo] coat which went quite to the bottom of her dress, and carelessly slung a double scarf of brown marten around her neck.

Her purse was of dark brown antelope, with a Carneliau clasp. Her shoes of dark brown suede. Her hair carries reddish tones in it, and she was a symphony in colour and line.
