Hollywood Charm School—Fashions M mM*n ■ri-w '? ■■ „VI '&/$2^~ bv Cyallv W / lartiv a bathing suit being an integral part of any number of evening gowns! Of course! And why not? You get hot and tired dancing, so at intermission you nonchalantly fling yourself out of wisps of tulle and chiffon, spangles and satin and dive off the deep end into phosphorescent waters that wipe worry and weariness from body and mind. The choicest materials for these evening-gown-bathing-suits are water-proof satin, cellophane and the sheerest silk wool. After drying arms and legs, slip on a pair of cobwebby stockings and slide into the chiffons and sequins and lo, you are ready for the next dance, rejuvenated and bright as a pre-Depression dollar. Whether you visit Mexico, Florida or points south, why don't you follow the styles set by Hollywood screen stars and wear: A gay colored bandana or large Mexican sombrero? Mexican sandals? Printed percale for evening? Fresh flowers in your hair with a pareo? A satin bathing suit printed with the alphabet? Checked Palaka cloth (from Hawaii) beach coats with amusing straw pockets? Woven raffia belts and headbands? A polka dot sunbonnet to match your playsuit? The new short beach dress or long beach coat? A sunsuit made from Celanese's new mask fabric with a short black taffeta beach coat? Oil silk beach coats in a delightful orange shade? The men? They'll love it! Marjorie Montgomery designed these practical play outfits. Binnie chooses blue and white striped shorts topped by a white linen dress while Gloria prefers red and white polka dot. Note the sunbonnet with cape attached FEBRUARY, 1937 White linen with huge flowers in bright blue and rust make this charming resort frock. Raffia flowers are tucked in at the waistline and used to trim the large white linen hat. Hat and dress designed by Marjorie Montgomery Cotton evening gowns are essential for resort wear. Gloria's dress is an old fashion printed percale in yellow with a brief quilted jacket. Binnie wears white waffle pique patterned in gayly colored flowers.
