72 Summer Fashion The girls of Hollywood's most select younger social Directed by Peggy Hamilton to use in at least one outfit in their wardrobe, chiefly because it is always stylish, distinctive, and above all things, serviceable. The dress of Miss Myers is saved from being severely simple by the skirt being made of four tiers of black satin set circular upon a straight foundation. The tiers lend a softness to the skirt line without detracting from its slendor contour. The waist is a sleeveless blouse of heavy white canton and the coat, Helen Ferguson's flannel frock is simple, yet dashing, and easily copied. The black and white motif is an excellent one for decided brunettes such as Carmel Myers. THE bright colors, the soft, light fabrics, and the simplicity of summer modes make them especially suited for the young girl. This is the time of the year that seems to belong to her, and therefore, the time when she should look her best. So Picture-Play Magazine asked the members of Our Club, who are all between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-six, and whose clothes and general tastes are typical of well-bred young women everywhere, to pose for its readers in costumes from their personal wardrobes. Any young girl who is clever with her needle should be able to derive many valuable suggestions from the gowns shown on these pages, which are all easy to copy or to adapt to one's particular needs. Carmel Myers, who appears above, is not only one of the most striking girls of Our Club, but one of the smartest gowned players in Hollywood, and she never looks more stun Vola Vale's separate ning than in a black and white costume. This color skirt and sweater make combination is just as effective for decided blondes a splendid costume of as for vivid brunettes, and is an excellent idea for them the "daily bread" type.
