Modern Screen (Dec 1938 - Nov 1939 (assorted issues))

MODERN SCREEN I SIGRID STEPS OUT (Continued from page 49) This frock is an excellent choice for a number of different types, because it's young without being too, too girlish. Another street classic designed to give you that comforting feeling of being well dressed for any occasion, except strictly formal, might be spotted on Miss Gurie by the alert Brown Derby luncheon crowd. It's the kind of an outfit you'd like to have on when you run into an old beau — or the girl who took him away from you. It's a severely tailored pin stripe suit, cunningly cut to give a feminine look at the top, further enhanced by a dainty white dimity blouse. Think twice before you adopt the hat that goes with it, though. It's an exaggerated version of the jockey cap, with that for wardjutting brim that is so apt to do unflattering things to a face that isn't "just the 'type." If you crave pleats but deplore the effect they have on rear and profile view, take a look at Miss Gurie's light monotone wool street frock. You can have your youthful pleats, and your hipline, too. Notice how the skirt is cut widely circular so that the pleats blend right into smoothly fitted hips and waist, without the sign of a seam to mar your streamlines. The top is tailored, and a budget-wrecking sable scarf lends an air of opulence. Leaving out the sables, it's a grand dress for under your heavy coat right now, and it will be right at home with one of those clubby wool jackets, later in the spring. Miss Gurie wears a becoming hat with this— one that even the untutored male can recognize as a hat. It has plenty of crown and brim, stitched all over for trimming, and the brim sweeping high off one side of the face in gay caballero fashion. Two other members of Miss Gurie's millinery family are much less conservative. They're the kind of hats designed to lift your spirits and make you feel like a femme fatal e — just when you were getting low because that salesgirl addressed you respectfully as "Modum," instead of calling you "Girlie." One is a perky miniature sailor, with fat moire ribbon bows sprouting all over the top. If you can see out of both eyes it isn't on at the properly dashing angle. The other is a bit giddier — a tiny black felt "dish" full of black and blue uncurled ostrich tips, and a circular, wide mesh veil floating all around over the shoulders. Veils still have a place on the smartest heads. Once we gals get hold of something that does as much for us as a bit of veil, it's hard to separate us from it. And don't let the giddiness alarm you. As for hats — we've got the men pretty well trained to expect most anything so, by all means, let gaiety go to your head. The purpose of a hat (feminine gender) is to be a builder-upper — not to keep the head warm. And after all, .what would the poor men do for entertainment if they couldn't make fun of our hats. Just remember — your current "head man" isn't making any more cracks about your headgear than grandfather made at the expense of grandmother's Easter bonnet. Femininity without frou-frou characterizes Miss Gurie's evening hours, both for leisure and stepping out. Of course you know that "house coat" is the word that has supplanted "hostess gown" for everything from your little gingham morning dresses to your favorite satin lounging pajamas. Anyway, Miss Gurie's house coat is elegant in richly rustling taffeta, but it has grand lines that might easily be carried out in any other material when you feel like running up a "little something" to lounge around in. Over a slim dress of solid color crepe, goes a floor length redingote of heavy_ taffeta, lavishly embroidered all over with tiny flowers. The coat is sleekly fitted in princess lines, and tied at the waist in a small fat bow. IF your neck can stand exposure, you'll probably fix a possessive eye on Miss Gurie's black dinner gown. Remember, it has only an expanse of throat to decorate it, so that had better be good. The gown holds the figure to well below the knees, where it is released in soft folds. The neckline is a deep, wide "V," and long tight sleeves join at the shoulder with the effect of being tied on. It's hard to tell whether the bodice is holding the sleeves up or vice versa. Either way, it has a flatteringly come-hither aura, if your collar bones can take it. If you happen to have a finger length ermine cape hanging around (like the one Miss Gurie wears) it will be very good hi NO SKINNY WOMAN I HAS AN OUNCE OF [ SEX APPEAL BUT SCIENCE HAS PROVED THAT THOUSANDS OONT HAVE TO BE SKINNY Posed by professional models THOUSANDS OF THIN, TIRED, NERVOUS PEOPLE GAIN 10 to 25 LBS... • t 1 L 1 :un< nl n-r%s*S\*1 + C f I 1 J 1 J.1 _ „ -L uinlri *■» J"C f% S>Z^V1 ■ NEW STRENGTH QUICK -with Ironized Yeast Tablets THOUSANDS of skinny, rundown people who never could gain before have quickly put on pounds of solid, naturally attractive flesh, with these remarkable scientifically tested little Ironized Yeast tablets.
