MODERN SCREEN The SAFE Way To Lose Look Younger FAT Feel Younger Lilian DnnJ beautiful screen actman DUUU, rcss> {s a striking example _ of the vivacious charm and physical attractiveness of a lovely, slender figure. % If you want to gradually lose ugly, excess fat and at the same time enjoy better health — take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water first thing in the morning. A Kruschen can't possibly harm you because first of all it's a health treatment — it helps establish normal body functioning then surplus fat disappears. Kruschen is not just one salt as some people ignorantly believe — it's a superb blend of six separate corrective salts based on an average analysis of over 22 European Spas whose healthful waters physicians for years have prescribed for overweight patients. @ Now that you understand why Kruschen is safe and healthy — there's no longer any excuse for you to remain fat! A jar lasts 4 weeks and costs only a few cents at any first class drugstore. fuschen "a/is AT ALL DRUGGISTS "It's the LITTLE DAILY DOSE that Does It" For a Tuneful Wed n e s d a y Evening set your radio dial to LANNY ROSS and His Log Cabin Orchestra JL HE romantic songs of Lanny, a sweet orchestra and a surprise guest presented each week by RADIO STARS Magazine Here Are Your Stations 7:30 p.m.— WENR-WLS.

In place of the usual tailored sleeves that such coats have, these were rather full and caught by a wrist band, the kind you see on shirtwaists. And to top the outfit off still more dramatically she selected the derby — a delightful feminine version of the original. Incidentally, turned-up small brims always offset a high collar best. The ■ hat, of course, is black like the wool skirt. "Where does the 'starring' process really begin in clothes?" I wanted to know. "Right with the foundation garment," Jean assured me. "The whole idea, you see, is to make your shoulders seem broader than your hips. One of these pull-on rubber girdles helps tremendously. "Personally, I like contrasting colors in clothes — and it's often wise to contrast them a bit with your special type. Here's what I mean. If you're a very athletic, sure-of-yourself person, wear gentle clothes. Something that softens you, such as shiny brown crepe with gold touches made in a very feminine manner. Don't feel you must wear strictly tailored things and sport togs all the time. "And if you're a quiet, every day sort of person, do the unusual in dressing. Wear a hat that's decidedly impish, or an exotic piece of jewelry with a plain, beautifully cut gown. "I think if you concentrate on daytime dresses you get a lot more pleasure out of it, for after all they are what you live in mostly, and they all ought to have a different mood." Which is why, perhaps, she chose that "artist's" model before you could wink an eye. It made her look like an irresistible bit of Bohemia right from the start. The last word in fashions, the tunic dress, is in this case disguised as an art smock in a check of earth brown and verdant green. "And doesn't it make me look taller ?" she enthused. There was a fringed scarf of golden brown to blend with the wool skirt and enormous brown leather buttons and a big patch pocket. To further carry out the idea, Jean completed it with an oversized pancake beret, stitched across the top. "Now where are my paints and brushes?" I didn't know. She was a picture enough as it was ! Maybe it has already occurred to you — not a speck of fur on a single thing Jean's selected. There is a reason. She hates cheap fur, says it has spoiled many a good-looking coat or suit, and doesn't feel she can yet afford the kind of fur she wants. "If you're going to get it at all, I believe it's best to buy a lovely separate fur collar and then have it to wear with various costumes." If that isn't being very sensible, I'd like to know what is. Everyone these days is on the lookout for an afternoon-through-dinner dress. Something that will carry you on through a sorority tea and into a dinner date. Jean found hers in a heavy black satin that is distinctly an advocate of the "pencil" silhouette. It follows the glamorous princess style and combines the excitement of a slit skirt with the meekness of a round neck. A very pretty neck that has a knifepleated trim of the black satin which also edges the dolman sleeves. The pleating swoops down on either side of the slit waist in back, too, and it's held together by two rhinestone buttons. White satin flowers are the highlight. A black velvet hat has two ornaments repeating the rhinestone note. For her "formal," Jean did the unusual. Just as I was wondering whether she'd pick out something fluffy, possibly white, she walked straight up to a love of a suede crepe in smoky leaf brown. "Does that mean anything to you?" she questioned. "It does ! It spells youth with-acharming-new-dignity." "Heavens, I think I'll take it," chuckled Jean. As if there had ever been a doubt of it ! The fascination of it was in the line. A ruffle forms the collar, the cape sleeves, and cascades down the back to the waist, right to the point where the fantail train starts. What that does to a girl's figure is something to write in the bride's book ! Two metal flowers, one in bronze and gold, the other in green and silver, are the only ■ elaboration on the whole gown. "There, that completes my particular clothes 'test,' " she said with a tired droopy, very happy smile. A "test," if you ask us, that would win style stardom for any girl! Dick is all excited about his new Toluca Lake home (left, Dick examining blueprints), and his screen public is simply thrilled over the "new" Dick Powell in "Happiness Ahead," his latest effort for Warner Bros., which is breaking boxoffice records all over the country.
