GARBO GREY—A NEW COLOUR
A Swedish dressmaker who specialises in sports clothes bas probably produced the queen of the popular pastel shaden with her "Garbo Grey." She had been astute enough to notice that this was Greta's favourite colour on the film. stor's last visit home. The colour is soft and becoming, a sort of cross between dove grey and silver, and Swedish women, who adore their great star, are falling over one an other in their eagerness to "get. gowns and coats in the new shade.
"I Loved A Woman," while Gene vieve Tobin, in a supporting role, also wears a score of the old- {fashioned gowns, which have proved to be not only of decided historical Interest, but unusually becoming to the two lovely actresses.
