Nice, But Something Right

ACCESSORIES, sometimes "picked up" 05 frivolously as one

gathers "nice little gifts" to fill in for birthdays and the like must be taken seriously, this year more than ever be- fore.

Something nice won't do. It must be something right. Right for your costume, fight for your type and colouring, right for the use to whith you in- tend to put it.

Exquisite French gloves,, lux- urious (if tako) jewellery, deli- cute looking shoes, sheer bostery, are all on the counters to tempt you. Wise investments If wisely planned... a waste of money if they're not.

.

First, decide whether they are to be for a special costume and for special wear.... day or evening, dress or sport. Your tweed or fiannol suit is worthy of two sets of accessories-on the sports side for casual wear, on the dressy side if you wish to wear it after five.

The only accessories you can wisely buy with no particular costume in mind are the classics —such as a pair of chamois colour fabric gloves, a pair of pigskin, some "every day" neu- tral nylons,

a good buy in a cultured pearl earring, another gold or silver bracelet to add to your collection

Miss Rulo has been dancing in night clubs since she won a spot in Chicago's Chez Paroo when she was 15. But cho says she's never had to run from the wolves.

"I was never more sheltered and protected in my Efe than I was at the Copacabana," sho said. "The wardrobe mistresa' look our telephone calls. They didn't allow anyone to wait for us at the stage door and they arranged for our transportation home after the chow.

As Though She Moves In Perpetual Moonlight

SILVER lame, that most mysterious looking of all fabrics, ja back in fashion. It has the effect of maidinga woman look as though she is moving in perpetual moon- light and its last phase of popularity was in the noisy and troublesome nineteen-twenties when it was worn mainly for evening.

This year Norman Hartnelt has introduced it for afternoon in a dress which he pleats from shoulders to hem, so that each movement causes it to reflect the light with a dull shimmer. To accent it he uses dense black velvet at neck, shoulders, and waist to give an impression of night and moonlight together.
