Ladies’ Column

NEW SEASON’S SHADE. CORNFLOWER BLUE. Among the prints this season, cornflower blue is liked the best. Josephine Dunn, one of Charles (Buddy) Rogers’ five leading women in Paramount’s all-talking production, “Safety in Numbers,” wears a chiffon garden print in cornflower blue and maize. Maize, by the way, is a popular shade Avhen combined with blue. - fc Miss Dunn’s frock ends near the ground, and avoids sleeves, except for a mere suggestion at the shoulders in the form of a fluttering cape. These small cape-sleeves are most popular this year, and bid fair to entirely out-do the long tight sleeves, which have enjoyed such a vogue for several seasons. NEW SPRING MODE. LATEST IN DOTTED MATERIAL. Spring fashions are now making their showing in the city shops, and Ginger Rogers, who is one of Paramount’s newest players, wears the very latest in dotted material in “Young Man of Manhattan.” To be smart one must have at least one frock of dotted material,

but to be really up-to-the-minute the dots must be appliqued. Miss Rogers’ dress is of red flat crepe, which is also a weave, with the dots appliqued in bands on the tight hip yoke, and also on the tuck-in blouse. The bishop’s neckline, and the short-sleeved jacket are indicative of this season’s mode. GOLD HOSTESS GOWNS. BECOMING POPULAR, Hostess gowns are very popular this season, and one of the most charming is worn by Natalie Moorhead, who is featured in “Manslaughter,” the Paramount all-talk-ing picture, with Claudette Colbert and Frederick Marsh. It is composed of spun gold lace and has a very large cape which falls well below the waistline and has three rows of scallops, bordered with gold ribbon. The gown is fitted very closely to the figure, over a gold slip, and sweeps into a small train at the back.
