D e - By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1932, King Features, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 16.— The story I'd like to write would be | Emily Post's impressions of Holly~ wood. In this glamorous community, we have the most elastic, the most haphazard code of social etiquette ever deviséd by man. Parties are public property. Your hostess, giving a buffet supper, pre- pares for twice as many guests as are invited. Or if she issues an invitation for 7 o'clock dinner— this from a prominent Hollywood matron—she never starts to dress before 8, knowing that her guests won't arrive until 9. Then if some outsider shows up at the appointed hour, she makes an excuse that she was delayed at the studio. In Hollywood, you never worry about the faux-pas of seating di- voresd couples together. They al-| ways are friendly. Except at Mayfair parties, which, unless specified otherwise, call for evening dress, any kind of clothes is permissible. Here, of course, there s ‘a’'good excuse. Studio hours are unpredictable. For the same reason, nothing is thought if the hostess calls up at the last minute and cancels the dinner. 'Guests of honor have the same privilege. Another curious Hollywood com- ‘Dlacency ‘allows the host to hire a professional insulter to bait his guests. Vincent Bartnett makes his ! living this way. T could go on indefinitely. I also could name exceptions. But the code remains the most fantastic, {perhaps ‘the most amusing, in the world. | {Film Society Split on Mayfair Garb As might have been expected, the Mayfalr “hard-times” party ended up with half the stars wearing the customary evening dress. The reb- els were roundly if good-naturedly hissed as they entered the room. Even ‘the menu reflected the split. Originally, it had been planned to serve cornbeef and cabbage and boiled vegetables. But when the'plates came in, the cornbeef stood side by side with a slice of white meat of chicken. Leader of the 'left-wing forces was Evelyn Brent. The men in her |party were In tail-coats. Evelyn wore a vivid green chiffon gown with & train. ‘Her velvet wrap was/ of black and white shoe laces.
