(By SHEILAH GRAHAM.) HOLLYWOOD, December 25. Jean Rogers, blonde Twentieth Cen-tury-Fox actrecw, recently purchased a black dlivetyn ensernl>l«- that is brightened with mi interesting idea. On each side of the collar in front is an applique floral design in deep turquoise lilnc euede. The rtMtiimc itself is a twopiece affair, tlie plain ja.-ket in the now <i»jr<T-ti|> length, and zippers to :i high. Hofl neckline. The iieeoinpanyiliL' deep muff i* of hliifk 'liivctyn with two enormooi bands of fine black Ivnx trim mi n>; the ends. Miss Kngvrs' draped beret, bag and gloves arc of turquoise suede.

Loretta Young likee black for evening wear. A picturesque heavy Lyons velvet gown features a demure, scalloped neck, tiny waist, full skirt worn 'over' a hooped petticoat, and elbow "mitte" of the velvet. Finishing touch is a quaint snood of coarse black silk net with which. Loretta tiee up her hair. l An interesting "original" that went with Gladys Swarthout on her concert tour is a Valentina "resort" model of woven pink wool crepe. The skirt is aectional, alternating pale beige with rose colour. A rose sweater tin-ks into the ekirt, and the short jacket has long sleeves and buttons covered in the beige material. Pink glass beads make • novel choker necklace. The slipjwis are of tan leather arid have built-up cork soles. Irene Dunne, at a recent concert, caused envious gasps from the other females because of her black satin gown with finely pleated skirt topped by a bodice of gold sequins. Black platform eandale, a gold sequin triangle-*ha]>ed evening puree, a collarless threequarter black fox coat with deep

sleeves and topaze earrings and bracelets were the rest of th 6 fetching "getup" Ann Sothern cocktailing in a sporte suit designed for her by Bernard Xewiniin. The wkirt—with inverted front and back pleat—and the short box jacket were in brown wool striped with tui(|uoise blue. Her blcuse, also in turquoise, was of jersey. Brown alligator K|K»rts pumpe and square bag completed the costume. (Gloria Dickson, lunching at the Brown Derby, very chic in a gi'ey wool suit, the loose-fitting, linger-tip jacket highlighted l>y a double collar and deep iiiH's of sheared l>eaver. (Gloria's onepiece dress had a square neckline outlined with dainty white niching. Short rthn'ves, waiwtline marked by a wide In-own .-ueile lx-lt and slightly flaring skirt helped (iloria achieve that welldressed look, as did the veiled grey pillbox hat, a squashy brown suode bug and brown suede accessories. Dorothy Lainour at a nearby table in a frock of dark forest green and wood violet. The (Ire*.* was made simply of the forest yreen rough wool with high,

rounded neckline, accented by a wood violet scarf. The plain bodice had selfcovered buttons up the front. Theekirt was box-pleated. Dorothy's fitted, tailored coat was of wood violet imported tweed. Her felt- tricorner— in the same shade and trimmed with a green veil. And I musn't forget Dorothy's luxurious sable scarf. How to keep those new doll hats on when the winds start blowing is eolved by Howard Shoup, Warners' deeigner. Mr. Shoup thinks that sticking hairpins into the straps that are supposed to hold the hate securely gives them an untidy look, and makes the suggestion that email plastic combs be sewed to the crown inside. Hollywood- doll hat wearers are finding the suggestion successful. Joan Bennett, at a recent faehion show, was better dressed than the models in her burgundy-coloured sheer wool street dress with gleevelees elipon white Galyac and top coat of Burgundy wool with hat to match. Burgundy bag, shoes, gloves and massive elipe of ruby and antique gold on the jacket completed the ensemble.
