London.

TN Mayfair's back streets, as the Coronation draws near, there are going on frantic last-minute fittings of the clothes which will be worn by peeresses at the crowning.

HAT is it about her that makes her so elegant? It is the question women are asking themselves more and more as the London scene grows thickly sprinkled with visitors worth looking at.

And the answer? Nine times out of ten the Woman Worth Looking At is the woman who has decided successfully the stiffest

problem of dressing well.

Is she to be one of the Hard- and-Smuclies or one of the Soft-and-Pretties?

See how the decision splits the ranks of the well-known weli-. dressed. On the side of the Hard -and-Smart are the Duchess of Windsor, Mme.

Masiell, wi

wife of the French Ambassador, and Schiaparelli.

On the side of the Soft-and- Elegant are the Duchess of Kent and the Begum Aga Khan, Queen Boraya of Persin, an Diana Wynyard.

It even sphis Allene Dietrich for she dresses the bard, chic way in private, ́ und the soft, pretty way for films, SLEEK AND SLENDER

Each side has its hallmarks, its successes, its pitfalls.

For the Hard-and-Smart the hallinaris are: Straight black dresses with high necks; chle hots that take a lot of wearing; sleek hair and slender figure; a devotion to dress that ignores comfort.

At its best, this style of dres

chamelied perfection and sensational elegance no one can miss. At its worst, it can make her

look freakish, unfeminine, frightening

For the Soft and Pretty brigade the hallmarks are: Soft maiorials and full skiria,, dark off-blacks and low necks; hats that are Battering; hairstyles that are soft; and a tendency to dress up to her face rather than her Buure.
