JOHN MACADAM'S ASCOT STORY

Fashion Has Always Played An Important Part In Ascot Scene

Apart from being the greatest conglomeration of the aristocracy of England and the Turf, Ascot is also-it might be sald primarily—a fashion parade.

As a matter of fact, there is a school of thought behind the belief that the fashion of Ascot is even more important than the racing.

Be that as it may, fashion has always played an essential part in the Ascol scene and most of the women who go to the various enclosures go there as much to show off what they have wheedled out of their little woman around the corner and to see what the other women have wheedled out of Hartnell as they do to see the racing.

EXPERIENCED MAN SAYS,

European Women Hit Harder And Surer With Short Jabs

By RON BURTON

Hollywood.

Too many American males invariably compare their women to European woman on a basis of appearance, figure, face, dress, mannerisms and character, according to Otto Reichow. This character actor thinks the boys might consider respective boxing techniques.

"Sure, I know they can be compared as to face and figure and so forth, but their slugging also is a valid basis for comparison," he said.
