Vivien Leigh has found headgear so convenient that she has had it copied in all colours.

"My friends are sick at the sight of me in it!" she said. We don't think anybody could be sick at the sight of Miss Leigh.

In the sketch you see Lady Olivier sitting on a dark-red sofa in her sitting-room. She is wearing an evening dress of pale- *green satin made for her by Molyneux. The flowerS on the dress are lily of the valley.

The picture on the wall behind her head is a drawing by Roger Furse of "Sabina”, the role play- ed by Miss Leigh in "The Skin of Our Teeth."
