Y. neck and back and with it is worn one of the cleverest three-quarter length evening coats you can imagine. Of the same material, it is double breasted with pockets and eight rhinestones buttons down the front. A royal blue velvet dinner dress has a high neck, buttons down the front, little pockets and cap sleeves instead of the cartridge effects. It has a coat, like the one described for the light blue dinner dress. Remember how the fashion magazines always advise you to plan carefully so that you can use the same coat with a number of things? Well, Joan interchanges these two blue evening wraps, wearing the dark with the light blue and vice versa. It gives her four outfits instead of two. One really formal dress is included in the new five. It's the kind Joan wears when she goes to a very swanky gathering. And it's not only a honey, it's a dream! This is of royal blue shirred chiffon, is practically backless, has a beautiful sweeping full skirt, but the thing that really threw me for a great big loss was the neck arrangement. Here are attached two long, flowing streamers, one of old rose and one of the royal blue which Joan drapes or winds around her neck and shoulders. An enormous old rose flower of chiffon and a smaller one of the blue are on the left shoulder. There is an evening bag of the same material to match every dress and evening shoes, always sandal effects, dyed in the same color as the frock. So— when Miss Crawford sweeps down to dinner she's a lovely symphony of color. There are no of! notes. Along with these evening things which had arrived from New York just two days before I saw them, was a beautiful tan linen sports dress, supposedly for beach wear. Joan was so smitten with it that she had worn it as a dinner dress the night before. It was really grand. Made simply with a tight bodice, it had a most unusual collar. Instead of being a round Peter Pan, it was cut like a greatly exaggerated man's shirt collar with very long pointed tips. It was trimmed with tan leather buttons, had a huge woven tan leather belt, and the slickest pockets! Joan wore with it a red and tan scarf, red or tan sandals, and tucked a red and tan hanky into a top pocket. Her new spring suit is of light weight, light color gray tweed. The coat is double breasted, three-quarter length with square shoulders. It flares a little away from the front, has two box pleats set in the back so that its tail sticks right out giving a near bustle effect. A simply cut sports dress of the same tweed, trimmed with a beautiful blue and white pin striped taffeta scarf, is worn with the coat. Add an enormous hat of gray suede, with blue band— practically a cowboy, ten-gallon affair— turned up on the left and pulled down over the right eye and you have a right dashing outfit! Add also gray suede shoes and gloves and a bag of the same tweed. Now all the afore-mentioned were from the famous Hattie Carnegie and were made up from sketches submitted to Joan, which she studied carefully and changed as she saw fit. But not all of her spring wardrobe belongs to this exclusive expensive category. Joan keeps a dressmaker at the house to copy things she likes very well and to make up dresses of Joan's own design. Included in this group this spring are six prints. "I've gone mad on prints," she told me. "I went downtown to an importers where Adrian buys his materials and came home with six bolts of goods. Beautiful materials. One is of blue and white— huge blue squares with splotches of white in the corners. And another, the gayest thing you ever saw, is a bright flowered piece with great splashes of orange and red." The latter— the orange and red, I learn, is Franchot Tone's favorite of the prints. Joan wore it the other night at dinner and my confidential scout reports that he thought it was simply stunning and that Joan looked too, too beautiful. Joan tells me he is a most comforting beau. He always admires everything she wears and never says in a frightening tone— as do some gents that you and I both know! "WHERE did you get that dress?" He likes everything she gets, and says so, but he went into particular ecstacy about the orange and red. Because Joan always dresses for dinner, she needs a lot of dinner things. Around the house in the daytime, you're likely to catch her in a crisp white pique dress with sailor collar and blue bindings, or an all blue pique with Peter Pan collar. Or blue and white gingham, or brown and white gingham. She has a dozen or more of these dresses. They are all quite tailored, crisp and fresh looking, have short skirts and are very youthful. There was a new box of bathing suits to open that day. Suits just like the ones she wore last year— backless, bandanna neck, one piece, no skirt. Two of the new ones were in yellow; four in different shades of blue. And no new beach bathrobes. She wraps herself in those huge bath towels, and she already has scads of them. Two white linen suits, very jaunty, very tailored, one single breasted and one double breasted; another tailored suit of blue flannel with collarless jacket over which the sailor collar of the dress fits, two double breasted top coats— one for last year's black suit and one for this year's tweed suit and there you have the works! Hats? Joan wears mostly the vagabond type, broad brimmed turned up on the left. They're becoming to her particular style of beauty and she doesn't believe in changing line much. "I never have things because they look well on someone else or are the last word in mode," she told me. "I have things to suit ME." You'll note I didn't go into raves about Joan's riding habits nor her golf or tennis dresses. She doesn't ride, play golf or tennis and so she hasn't anything of that type. She does have an abundance of slacks and sweaters which she often wears to the studio. Perfumes? She has three favorites— "Surrender," "Vivre," and "Duchess of York." Jean Dixon gave her a bottle of "Moment Supreme" the other day and she thinks maybe she's a convert to that. Yes, Ma'am, take it from me, you just haven't had any clothes fun until you've looked through a couple of closets with Joan. Having seen all there was to see in spring things, I was about to suggest, as guilelessly as I could, looking over last winter's racks when the butler appeared and announced a 'phone call for Missv Babcock. Yes, it was the office and I had to run. But Joan promised that next time Hattie of the Carnegies sends out a couple of dozen boxes she'll ask me over again. If she keeps her promise, I'll write you some more, dear reader, another day about "The Private Off-Screen Wardrobe of a Star." r HE July cover of Silver Screen is a portrait in full color of Carole Lombard. "There are Seven Reasons Why Ginger Rogers Is Tops" and they are entertainingly told in Silver Screen for July.
