Simplicity Anya Taranda, who appears with Eddie Cantor in "Strike Me Pink,'' wears two attractive new models designed by Lettie Lee. The street ensemble is of blue sheer crepe with white pique vesteed frock and knee-length jacket. The cocktail dress is of navy blue sheer crepe. It is buttoned high to the neck, belted trimly at the waistline, and smartly adorned with white pique collar and cuffs. Both the suit and frock worn by Miss Taranda may be purchased in leading department stores in many leading cities. (On page 59, you will find list of stores carrying Lettie Lee Fashions.) Lettie Lee at work Lettie Lee, young, blonde and vivacious, is something new in success stories. Not only does she design clothes for Republic Pictures and individual Hollywood stars, but owns and directs a dress manufacturing concern, and is soon to appear in a weekly fashion newsreel. (Fashion-Cine News.) You see two of her latest designs on this page. Note that they are glamorous in the movie manner, yet simple and practical — the sort of clothes that every American girl can wear effectively.
