Clever draping makes this high shade lush quality Rayon Gabardine a stand-out. It's exquisitely tailored and fashioned and is finely saddle-stitched, in contrasting color, to give it that made-to-order look.

CITY ZON E STATE. And though little has happened for her in movies until her present picture, she has made an enviable record in the theatre, her last role being one similar to Kitty, in "The Iceman Cometh." Jeanne wore a navy faille suit with a white scarf dotted in red and a small white hat. Her skin looked very fair, her hazel eyes looked violet in the soft light. Jeanne is a type that doesn't stand still. Every day is a new adventure in living and learning. One of her recent studies that brings us to the point of this story is costume designing. Edith Head, famous designer for Paramount Studios, was giving a course at UCLA, so Jeanne enrolled. "I can't sketch," she said, "but I improved a little. However, the course gave me a keen sense of clothes design as it helps portray a character, something of vital importance on stage and screen. Watch for this in movies especially and take a tip from this in daily life. Dress to look the part you want. This is especially important to the many graduates who will be looking for their first jobs this Fall. There is always competition for worthwhile jobs, and with equal abilities, the girl who looks the part wins. "If you are looking for a fashion job, your appearance should indicate that you are fashion-conscious. A would-be secretary should keep in mind an appearance that the most discriminating boss would be proud to have in his office. An aspiring hostess might keep in mind her black frock, pearls, dignity and poise. A good skin and well-groomed hair are assets for the girl who seeks the cosmetics field. Well-cared-for hands and nails aid the girl who wants to sell, especially lovely things like jewelry that must be handled and displayed. If you're off to college for the first time, let your college shops and older students advise you. By contrast, the girl who aspires to musicals or dramatic roles had better leave her sweater and college plaids at home." Jeanne Cagney is so right. While appearance does not literally make a person, it is naive not to admit that it is an excellent introduction. Whether your goal is college, career or a little more out of life on the old home front, this is the time for a little "rehabilitation" program. This is the time, before the pressure starts, to check with your dentist. If you're smart, it's the time for a medical check-up just to learn how good you are. It's the time to get all leftover wearable woollens pressed and ready for the first cool days. Your first Fall frocks will give added pleasure over a figure that's in good proportion, firm and agile. It's too bad in this respect that the desk chair must imprison us again. However, a helpful idea in keeping that spare waistline is to rise immediately a meal is finished and do something active like washing the dishes or walking about. This also wards off that after-dinner sleepiness. Good, long stretches, whenever you have privacy, will pull a figure back to where it ought to be and also remind you of better posture. Walking the right way is wonderful, especially for firming and preventing soft fat below the waist. Fashion models walk from the hips, the thigh leading. You can get this movement by practice. Gail Russell of "Night Has A Thousand Eyes" meets Jane Russell of Paramount's "Paleface." Imagine you are walking through waisthigh water. The idea soon comes. Muscles work together, the gait is evened and a better figure and grace result. Your new hat will be a better choice with a hair trim or thinning and a new permanent. The home cutting is a little tricky and might better be left to professional hands. The successful home wave, however, is but a matter of a short time, care and following directions. If you have a new look cut, you will find that the use of hair lacquer on small waves or curls that hug the temples, or on bangs, keeps these trimmings orderly and just where they belong. After our sleek pompadours and up-dos, the feathery softness of the shorter cuts is often a problem in orderliness. For better lip grooming, a lip pencil or brush is definitely in order. These give a beautifully clean, clear outline. Less color is needed when lips are precisely outlined, and perfect application can make the most irregular lips attractive. This neat, clean application is something that appeals strongly to men. Smile to get the best outline of your natural mouth shape. A perfume, the real stuff, is in order. A number of small vials of perfume for costumes, occasions and moods, I believe, is much more desirable than one big bottle. Your perfume should be changed, like your dresses. The smaller vials are economy, too; there's less outlay, naturally, less time for evaporation, less loss if broken. There's no chance of perfume monotony, either. A purse perfume dispenser is now as important as a lipstick. Feet need a real survey this Fall. The "Flat Foot Floogies" are a thing of the past. Not that you won't wear flat heels. There'll be plenty, but shoes now have character and offer some support and protection. It's the shapeless foot wrapper, toeless, heelle.ss, that's in the discard. To walk barefoot about your room, on soft grass or on sand is a beauty treatment. To subject your feet practically unshod to hard pavements is something else. Time passed while Jeanne discussed careers and how to get ahead. The Stork Club filled up. We said good-bye at 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue, but not for an tin «even years, I hope. SCRKENLAND
