Lovely Elaine Stewart is getting plenty of attention from Gilbert Roland and Kirk Douglas on set of "The Bad And The Beautiful." Lana Turner is the star of the film. Air hills, I knew it was my early dream come true. It looks as if it were made of chocolate, with the shake roof resembling chocolate shavings. The windows and shutters and trim are such stark white they resemble spun sugar candy. And there are flower boxes all across the front," she adds. Arlene has reason to be proud of her home. It is lovely. And, smart girl, her subdued decorating schemes all compliment her dramatic coloring. Three shades of grey dominate the living room, dining room and den. Furniture is French provincial. Upholstery and drapes are chintz, velveteen and raw silk. In contrast the country-style kitchen is gay, with pine cupboards, pine captain's table and chairs, the latter with citron yellow seat pads; the citron is picked up in the provincial wallpaper. All these rooms and the master bedroom open out on a spacious terrace. Downstairs is a large play room, the size of the upstairs den, living and dining rooms combined. A brick fireplace covers one entire wall. Scandinavian is the motif Arlene has used here. And here she will have her first big party, a smorgasbord for about a hundred people. "One thing I've learned in decorating the house. It's a mistake to do everything at once. I'm starting slowly. It's better to start with a few things, live with them, experiment, then add." In October Arlene had a style show for the Los Angeles fashion press to introduce her new Winter line of lingerie. There were five breathtaking ensembles of nightgowns and negligees, made of nylon organdy, nylon satin, trimmed with nylon lace. You may have seen pictures of Arlene herself in her Summer creations in a national magazine. The new ones are even more interesting for she has added two new colors to the robe de nuit line — Caribbean blue and Christmas red. "The red is so clear and true a color that it is flattering to any girl of whatever coloring. Natural skin tones shine through the sheer tricot," says the enthusiastic designer. (To look like Arlene in one of them!) You may remember that Arlene got into this lingerie business when three j ears ago she designed a fluffy little bedcap with 17 nylon ruffles. She created it to cope with her own problem of how to be glamourous in bobby pins, but being a canny business woman as well as an artiste she took out a patent. A friend sent the design to a manufacturer who had no idea who the creator was — the design was signed merely A. Dahl. He wanted to buy the patent. She refused, but agreed to a royalty basis. When the manufacturer learned he was dealing with movie star A. Dahl he nearly fainted. Later Arlene, who in her high school days had won three top fashion design contests, added the nighties, peignoirs and negligees to the line. They are all hand-made in Puerto Rico. Her next step will be to add moderately priced hand-made blouses and then next year, less expensive machine-made lingerie for the working girl. She'll do all the designs. All this started with her "Dahl cap." Now she, the manufacturer and the distributor are all doing very well financially, thank you. All you need, you see, is a good idea, some talent, the will to take on an extra chore. . . ■ . Speaking of chores, there is also her column, "Let's Be Beautiful." Only she doesn't consider it a chore. "I've learned so many beauty hints through interviewing other stars the last two years that I feel I could write a book. I've also consulted dermatologists, to double check. One thing I've really learned: although creams can do won nrnnnr easy as rluuul ABC!
