An exciting contrast to Betty's blondeness is the black crepe midriff suit, embroidered with gold and silver braid around the waist. The braid also trims the high turban and fur muff. White jersey dinner dress which Betty wears so well has a Persian influence with its blouse and skirt fullness gathered in by a wide gold and silver shaped girdle of ornate design. More of the Persian influence is seen in her dark brown wrap-around pajamas worn with a pale aqua blouse. The arm bands and frog fastenings of Persian embroidery add glitter. 4 Black velvet slacks worn with a coat of white brocade make a perfect costume for a leisure hour. The coat has a high round neckline and is fastened with white frogs flecked with gold. Exotic is the word for Betty in this black jersey midriff gown with long sleeves. White satin butterfly design and chain motif over the shoulders form interesting ornaments. Sable turban and bag add glamor to a plain beige wool suit, which features an intricately embroidered pocket of gold. The severely tailored jacket is softened by a gently rolled collar.
