You hear her name mentioned alongside the Duchess of Kent's; her dress compared with Mme. Massigli's; her hats, her furs, her figure, and her flair for elegance discussed along with Margaret Leighton or Chiquita Astor or the Duchess of Sutherland.
The newcomer who threatens to reach top place as the most elegant woman in London this year is the Senora Mendoza y de la Torre, 28-year-old wife of the Cuban Ambassador. And she has, in my view, everything it takes to get there.
It takes of course, money. But the money alone
is no good--you must have the figure, too.
It takes a succession of exquisite outfits but the clothes are no good unless
you have the chance to wear them.
And even with the money, and the figure, and the clothes, and the oppor- tunity to be seen in them - you could still look o ttle dull. All really ele- gant women add i per- sonal dash of their own,

Swimsuit Preview
Two bathing beauties give us a glimpse in London of what the smart teen-ager will wear for the beach in 1951. The swimsuit of knitted rayon lastex has panels of red and white and the odd design is almost as eye-catching as the faces and figures of the gals. (Acme).

Short Hair Best
Short and simple, like the smartest colfures, is a well- known hair stylist's resolution for the woman who wants her hair to look perfect in 1951.
Says this stylist, the quickest way to perfection is complele cleanliness. No hairdresser can halr turn Jank, uncared-for into a thing of beauty. But he can work wonders with tresses that glow from regular washing with a mild shampoo and gentle brushing with a soft brush.
The shampoo is ali-important. Choose a mild one without an overfrothy lather (a heavy lather often indicates the pre- sence of ingredients which may harm the hair.) Use it regularly once in soven or ten days.
Your hair will then be in excellent condition, easily ar- ranged in the current style.
