% anSfTcuMt 0* JPftING x s&mm* . jtxlej By Alice L. Tildesley Hollywood. SPRINO Is here. And Easter la Just around the comer. Clothes and Style are the uppermost subjects on every woman’s mind. If you don’t be lieve so, listen in when any two or more of them get together. So, with Style the paramount Issue for the moment, let’s take a look at the movie capital of the world, where Style la influenced perhaps more than any other spot in the world, and see what the silver screen la going to flash be fore our eyes. Edith Head, small and trim-flgured, her dark hair In a Colleen Moore bob, Insists that Paramount's young lovelies are going to be garbed very simply, like It or not. "Our skirts are going to be fuller, except for suit skirts, and there you’ll see the belt sometimes slightly below the top of the skirt, giving a hlgh waisted effect. The waistlines are all very slim, and the belts or girdles will be much, much wider. Hie tight basque tops won’t be so good. “Shoulders won’t be so exaggerated as they have been, but they will still be fairly wide because that’s so becom ing to most women. Well get the added width with an Inverted pleat. The long, hooded cape la light materials will be popular for Spring formal wear. A good example is ahown by Marlene Dietrich “The news for 1937, as I see It, b> that we have stopped muddling up classifications. The girl who is going to play tennis will wear shorts and the girl who Is merely going to watch will be garbed in actual spectator fashions “The clothes for sports will be simple, but spectator things will be more col orful; gayer, In line with our returned prosperity. People are In lighter spirits and they feel that color Is appealing Oall Patrick has a very attractive dress of red crepe made with bolero and pockets edged with brushed fringe. With this she wears red antelope hat. gloves and bag. “A word about boleros: Don't be coaxed Into wearing one unless your hips are very slim. A stout woman looks definitely tragic In on*. Virginia Brace shows a picture gown of powder blue slipper satin. Note the full skirt and the fitted bodice and buttoim from neck to waist “Prints are gay this year, but we are combining plain colors with them—ls we have a dress of print, it has a solid colored Jacket; or If the dress Is a solid color, the Jacket la printed. Sometimes we take a printed figure from the printed allk, eut.lt out and applique It on the plain dreas to tie It up with the printed •os L “The ooet of the print ensemble k often longer than those of last year, and It flares. There’s lota of action In sports clothes.” Don't sacrifice what Is becoming to you to what is supposed to be ths style, is this expert’s advice. Select the hat or gown or suit to flatter yourself, rather than to conform to fashion.
