Juel adds that it’s good economy to buy handmade underwear if you can possibly afford it, because it will outwear several sets of machine-made rayon underwear. Miss Park is also working on a slip-and-pantie combination for wear with suits and it will be all in one piece. Joan Crawford is one who is mad about the short nightgowns (she even sends them to her pals) These can be worn as a bed jacket, too. Joan’s are usually dainty, sheer things, but almost “tailored” in the fact that they have long full sleeves with a tight cuff at the wrists; and they all have little lace-edged round collars at a high neckline— a real, old-fashioned look. But when she wants to get up and walk around the house, Joan puts on matching short bloomers (yes, bloomers) so that she’s fully covered. This we gotta see. LITTING from nights to knits, some of the new knitted dresses are really on the glamour side. Gone are the days when a knitted dress meant that you were all out of shape after sitting down in it. So charming for any time of the year — whether in heavy wool, light wool, combination threads or what-have-you — are the new tight-bodiced knit dresses with their full gathered skirts and dainty sleeves — to say nothing of the dressy knitted suits, some of them made entirely of shimmering lame ribbons. But on the more practical side is a darling daytimer that Nancy Sinatra brought back from New York. It’s of pale gray and dark red wooly yarn, knitted in slightly bulgy triangleshaped “puffs” of the combined colors. The bodice is skin-tight to the normal waistline and has a tiny round collar. Little yarn-covered buttons march down the front of the short-sleeved waist. The skirt is enormously full and gathered softly at the waistline, accentuating Nancy’s small waist. She wears lots of gold jewelry with it and a narrow red belt. Still on the more or less sports side, is Doris Day’s very good tweed and jersey combination. She pulls a bright red jersey pullover over a deep green monotone tweed skirt and slaps a tiny bright red jersey beret on her head. Dark green alligator pumps, bag and dark green fabric gloves and lots and lots of gold jewelry — including several of those little “scatter pins” at the shoulder of the blouse — make this a very good-looking gadabout costume that you could easily acquire in your favorite color combination. Now we go from knits to nets. In this case, fishnet Gracie Allen has a really unusual shawl-stole of very coarse fish net, dyed a deep cherry red, which is really a shawl square, folded to form a big triangle. It’s a knockout finishing touch for resort or early spring wear— with anything from dressy cottons to white silk jersey evening gowns. Grade’s gown for this “accessory” is white silk jersey, fashioned with a full, floor-length skirt gathered to a fitted bodice which has a low, off-shoulder neckline and three-quarter length sleeves that crush snugly to the arms. She wears a huge diamond and ruby bracelet to complete the red and white look of the ensemble. There’ll be lots of “girls in calico” — if they’re smart girls — this spring. And these frocks run the gamut from sportswear to the loveliest of evening gowns — in all sorts of prints, plain colors and with all sorts of trimmings. Joan Bennett has a strapless, decollete calico dress in a gold and olive green print, with a stole of the same material. The low neckline is trimmed with gold ball-fringe. The same fringe trims each end of the long straight stole, which is used instead of any wrap or jacket for a cover-up. The floor-length gown is cut along princess lines. Higher waistlines, long, basque, tight waistlines, tiny, sashed waistlines — yep, this season “anything goes.” Diana Lynn, dancing dreamily with John Lindsay at Arnold Kirkeby’s stupendous party for Kay Thompson, caught our eye in the most lovely gown of ivory tulle. Her enormous bouffant skirt was further emphasized by an even fuller tulle peplum gathered at her tiny waist. Bodice was fitted (over deeper ivory satin) to an off-shoulder line below which peeped tiny, puffed sleeves of the same net. Her little bag and evening sandals were of deep red satin— a nice and different color combination. The ivory, champagne and yellow tones are very much in — and so flattering to most. Next month, we’ll tell you of the gorgeous gown, in these color tones that Ava Gardner (who is pretty gorgeous herself) is flouncing around in evenings. At least two hundred of your favorite stars and starlets, who were at the Kirkeby party, will tell you it was just about the most lavish ever given in Hollywood. The buffet table, laden with luscious food, seemed about a mile long — every tree on the terrace had been covered with gardenias, and they had many individual tables (seating six or eight at each — over three hundred in all), trimmed with little obelisks covered with at least a half dozen orchids in the center. The End t&e uaowutidAecL TRUTH a&out otMMtevt It’s radio’s greatest morning show because each complete drama is a truthful picture of feminine emotions.
