"But however did you live?" in- quires my daughter. "How you get about?"

"There were motor cars on the road, which crawled along at about 60 miles an hour," I remember with a smile. "But in those dava we thought that fast."
My daughter, whose plane cats up the milen at the rate of 200 to the hour, laughs. "I'd love to see one. Did you ever drive in one? How amusing." she continues, when I nod. Somehow. I didn't think of you as that kind of age."
"I drove behind a horse, too." I tell her.
"A horse?" she muses. "What) exactly is a horse like?"

Claudette Colbert, among her new New York clothes, has a glamorous black marquisite dinner gown with the puff sleeven and the round socked yoke embroidered in glittering jet.
Marlene in a Dress
Holding open house on Sunday afternoon, Adrienne Ames · wore a brown velvet afternoon dress with full sleeves with bands of rhinestones on them. Incidentally, Marlene Dietrich was there, with Maurice Chevalier, and she was wearing a DRESS. It was black crepe, with extremely full sleeves and full skirt. She wore her black hat anchored to the back of her head with a black ribbon under her chin; holding it in place.
Ermine is used to give glamour to many a costume of an evening. I saw Kathleen Burke, dancing with her fiance, Glen Rardin, in the Roosevelt Blossom Room, wearing a stunning black velvet dinner gown with puff sleeves and a jabot of ermine tabs.
