STYLES FOR AUTUMN

Small Hats: Tricky Sleeves

FILM STAR’S CHOICE

What do you think of the new autumn styles? Even iu busy Hollywood the feminine players find time between camera work and social duties to discuss this question of international importance. “The most flattering modes I can remember,” said Miss Frances Dee recently in describing her sartorial discoveries, “are high waist-lines, tricky sleeves, ridiculous little bats with perky quills and lots of becoming scarves ami bows.” Miss Dee, who is five feet three inches tall, weight 7 stone fllb., with light brown hair and blue eyes, decided to make the new blue shades of the season the keynote of her new wardrobe.

"I have selected one knitted frock of bright blue with a blouse of blue and yellow plaid, a. tailored street suit with* bright blue jacket and gray skirt, it silk afternoon frock of sapphire blue crepe, and an evening gown of cornflower blue chiffon,” says Miss Dee. “I could not resist one sports suit of white, rough silk with navy blue nautical trimmings, and then for variation there is one wool-crepe suit of dark red, with: a red and white scarf and sash.”

During her shopping tour, Miss Dee learned that skirts will remain at the same lengths during the autumn aud winter—that is, ten inches from the floor for daytime and sports clothes, ankle-length for afternoon, and the absolute limit for evening gowns, as long as they touch the ground. Another important finding was the fact that the new bats will be worn down over the forehead, with very littio tilt to the side, but dipping forward showing much of the coiffure at the back of tho neck.
