The Dress Doctor, by Edith Head and Jane Kesner Ardmore, was recently published by Little, Brown. Susan Kohner is currently appearing in the Universal-International production of Imitation of Life. I -*5 Mir':', SttZtiti i-'-^M Very smart in beige tweed of cotton and rayon, Susan wears the same Lanz Originals suit, $34. Her all-white accessories: leather pouch bag, $8, by Kadin Bros., slim calf pumps, $12, by Velvet Step; straw hat by Richard Englander ; pearls by Coro ; seamless "blonde" hosiery, $1.50, by Hanes. Bad Good MEDICINE Advisory Board and the author i of The Dress Doctor, listened in silence as Susan described the j symptoms of her misery, as shown at the left.
