WOMAN'’S PAGE. Black Velvet With Net or Tulle For the woman who wants an evening | gown that will suit a variety of occasions —dinners, evening receptions, more or | less formal dances, the theater, or even the opera—I can suggest nothing | that strikes me as a better choice ‘dlzn‘ e oy A TYPE OF BLACK EVENING GOWN THAT HAS MUCH FAVOR THIS WINTER—MADE WITH BLACK VELVET BODICE WITH CIRCULAR FLOUNCES OF POINT D'ESPRIT OR DOTTED NET, THAT HAVE A PRONOUNCED DOWNWARD DROOP TOWARD THE BACK. some combination of b'ack velvet and | net or tulle. | If you are planning to make a frock | of this sort yourself and want to make | | portion. | tulle flounces usually make use of three ( | take time to lock at the remnants of fine velvet which are to be found in almost all the shops at the present time. | A yard and an eighth or a trifle more | will be all the velvet you need and short | lengths of this sorf are often to be found at scarcely more than half the original price of the velvet. | And then—also to keep down expenses | —Ilet me suggest that you use point| dlesprit or fine cotton net for the skirt The new frocks made with thicknesses of the tulle for each flounce | and tulle, you know, is rather fragile. The other materials having more body may be used single ply and they are much less likely to become torn. Tulle as well as silk or cotton net is used now- adays without any finishing at the edges—though sometimes the heavier nets are picoted around the edge. It is a fairly safe bet that uneven hemlines are to continue in fashion and evening gowns will probably sag at the back as much next Winter as they do at present. Still no one ever knows precisely what fashion may have in store for us, and the advantage of a frock like the one sketched is that in cas~ the sagging skirt line does go out of favor the bodice may be used with a different sort of flounce for another serson With the sagging skirt for evening one wears a wrap that ends somewhere about the knees and is drawn closely about the figure to give the new peacock silhouette. ‘This week’s diagram pattern shows just how to make one. of thase new evening wraps from a square of material —without any cutting. A snapper or two and some tie strings give the little wrap its form and hold it secure.

Put over a genuine disaster in Movieland and every one thinks it's just another moving pic- ture being made. Thus it was that I, following a column of smoke which rose ominously against the night sky, arrived at the Paramount | studios. I said, “Just another movie scene being shot. There are the fire- | men. Well, good for the extras, any- way,” and drove on, in the belief that a first-rete fire scene was being quite realistically staged. In the meantime $1.000,000 worth of Jesse Lasky's new sound stages ‘were going up in smoke. Because that smoke came from within a studio inclosure thousands drove merrily by on the| boulevard, grinned, and thought the same as I. ‘Within the inclosure it was a differ- | ent matter. A script clerk discovered | that the new stage, which accommo- | dated five talkie units, was on fire. She | spread the alarm. The studio fire-fight- ing force was soon augmented by the Hollywood fire fighters. Mr. Lasky hurried to see his most | marvelous talkie stages go the way of all felt and shingles. Directors and actor folk who were on the lot burried to the producer to assure him they would work night and day to make up for the loss in time and production. The cause of the fire will go down as one of the great mysteries in Movie- Jand. It's as deep and dark as “Who killed Cock Robin?” or “Who murdered Desmond Taylor?” A red-hot picture for Clara Bow was to start on that very stage the next day. Perhaps the script was left lying around and it was a case of spontaneous combustion. Some of the units will be moved at orce to the Long Island studios, says Mr. Lasky. Do what you will, produc- tion is apt to be halted by the annihil- &tion of five sound stages. Village gossips say rival talkie pro- ducers were doing soft-shoe dances be- fore the flames. This studio has been the most earnest talkie protagonist of all the Hollywood lots. i Norma Talmadge is back in Holly- | wood once more without any blowing of | £ trumpets or braying of interviews.

Young Raimon von Hofmanstahl was the envy of the boulevard today. His suit of soft chestnut cheviot was liv- ened by a shirt of daffodil yellow French flannel. A tie in bronze and bronze tcol socks completed the effect. It was a touch of the Riviera on Hollywood boul. (Copyright, 1920, by the North American Newspaper Alllance. HE SUFFERED FOR TEN YEARS Then ALL-BRAN Brought Re- lief in 2 Months — Doctor Recommended It Constipation is dreaded not only for its own insidious self, but cause of the many serious conditions and diseases it causes. Mr. Lind was a sufferer—but read how he found relief. “For the past 10 years I have suffered from piles. At times I have been unable to work. I have tried suppositories, oint ments, etc., but to no avail. “Two months ago my grocer called my at- tention to Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN. I began taking it regularly. Immediately the pain and annoyance from the piles was relieved. 1 found that it requires very little ALL-BRAN to give nature a fair chance to effect a cure."—WALTER J.

Those who cannot take cold baths can dash cold water on the chest and arms. ‘When the cold comes on continue to keep your windows open—they needn't be open so wide as in Summer—for you must have a liberal supply of fresh air.

I don’t know a single girl without really lovely skin who has won enough of the public to become a star,” says William _ Beaudine, director for Fox Films. ““A star must always guard the perfection of her skin—the glaring lights of the close-up reveal the slightest unevenness,” Myrna Ken- nedy explains. The next time you see her in a close-up notice how fine and smooth Lux Toilet Soap keeps her skin or Clara Bow’s, Bebe Daniels’, May Mc- Avoy’s. When next you see your favorite screen star, whoever she is, remember that nine out of every ten lovely stars use Lux Toilet Soap for smooth skin. Indeed, all the great film studios, following these stars’ example, have made Lux Toilet Soap the official soap in all dressing rooms. The exacting screen stars like the fact that this delicately fragrant white soap is made by the French method. “It gives my skin that beautiful smoothness I though only fine French soap could give,” Renée Adorée says. You, too, will like its caressing lather that leaves your skin so satin smooth. Use it for the bath, too, and the shampoo, as the screen stars do. BRUNETTES by BEBE DANIELS, Paramount; says: “Lux Toilet Soap is a great help in keeping the skin smooth and lovely.” LUPE VELEZ, United Artists, knows how important smooth skin is. “Lux Toilet Soap certainly keeps my skin like velvet.” «+«AND BrownNn Ha ELEANOR BOARDMAN says: “Lux Toilet Soap is excellent for the very smooth skin a screen star must have,” EVELYN BRENT, Paramount; says: “A star just must have a smooth skin.
