^ <* XI CO Lauchter, Romance And music make Mexico what it is, a country vibrant with warmth and color. And because of this, the small city of Ensenada with * its quaint old country atmosphere and its modern, comfortable hotel, situated on the water's edge, has become the playground for Hollywood stars who seek relaxation far away from the grinding of cameras and hurry and bustle of studio activities. What is worn at this Mexican coast resort is the question uppermost in feminine minds. It is expertly answered by two charming Universal stars, Binnie Barnes who just completed work on Three Smart Girls, and Gloria Stuart whose latest opus for Universal was Girl on the Front Page. Binnie and Gloria along with other Hollywood luminaries were found vacationing by a prying cameraman whose duty is to bring readers the latest news from screenland's fashion center. At present it might be hard to realize the sun will be shining soon again but we have a hunch that winter will end in the near future, so it is safe to proceed with plans, at least, for printed silks, billowing chiffons and bathing suits. These last items, by the way, are getting gayer and gayer, and cleverer and cleverer. So many different things accompany them, such as shorts and jackets like those worn by Mary Astor; trousers and capes as preferred by Madge Evans; wrap-around beach shawls, and whatnots, to say nothing of Binnie Barnes is ready for a swim in a pareo made from an imported Oriental cotton print. She wears a short oil silk coat in a delightful shade of orange. Her bamboo matting hat is appliqued with matching flowers. Outfit shown came from Kahala Importing Co. Gloria Stuart spends a leisurely day attired in a sports outfit of Mexican inspiration. A backless dress of sage green novelty cotton is covered by a short bolero jacket. Skirt and jacket are deeply fringed. A large Mexican sombrero adds atmosphere. This stunning outfit designed by Marjorie Montgomery 34 Palaka cloth straight from Hawaii make these twin beach coats with amusing bamboo pockets worn over neat Catalina swim suits. Hats of bamboo matting are trimmed in the blue and white checked material from the Kahala Importing Co. HOLLYWOOD
