Marion Da vies' Paris Wardrobe

neckline, with the V off the center front line, and a peplum help to achieve its smartness. To complete it Marion has opera pumps and a hat of navy blue, and soft suede eight-button gloves. (See page 62.) "I'm partial to blue. Extremely so. The shade I like best of all is just a bit lighter than powder blue — Davies blue, the people from whom I get my clothes have named it, because I invariably ask for it. I have a new dinner gown of that color in chiffon; it's very long and has a draped collar. . . . No, I have no hobbies in clothes — unless it's fine white linen handkerchiefs which I buy by the wholesale lot. But I have a funny superstition. I never purchase a street purse for myself. Never. And I seldom carry those my friends give me. It's an old hobgoblin of the stage, I guess. I do carry evening purses, though, so you see I'm not very consistent in my pet superstition!
T^ROM what I see of the new clothes " I should say they were making new women of us. And, of course, that's rather fun. Sport togs button higher ... in fact, all necklines have crept up closer to the chin, at least in front. Shoulders are very wide, waistlines are definite, skirts have a long slim appearance. The 1932 clothes in my estimation are more thrilling, more subtle than they have been in many a long year."
Since our hats are directly responsible for all this change, I think we ought to expect a great deal from them. Notice how a number of Miss Davies' hats have small soft brims that frame the face becomingly. They may be perfectly simple sport hats but they look feminine. Very much so. They strike a singularly harmonious note with her costumes, adapting themselves to the neckline and carrying out the general effect of each dress. That's what a hat is meant to do but some of us, I'm afraid, don't quite realize it. When we buy a dress that we think looks well on us we're apt to let the accessories take care of themselves. Especially the gloves. After the hat, they are the most conspicuous part of our apparel. We're constantly using our hands ... to drive, to receive, to gesticulate. If they're not well groomed they give us away as being careless about little things. The relationship of gloves to sleeves is worth a great deal of consideration. It's more important even than color harmony. It depends upon length and shape and appropriateness.
For example, there's the slip-on glove. Long sleeves for street wear usually require this type. The wide-flared, stitched gauntlet has a style all its own that is lost if the sleeve is other than a severely plain long one. The eight-button glove is frequently worn, over a tight fitting sleeve with a straight edge, for after(Continned on page 101)
