SUMMER lasts eleven months of the year in Hollywood. This makes the local citizenry pretty expert in choosing and wearing slacks and play- suits.

You're certain to be smart if you go in for Hollywood ideas when getting together your holiday things.

Not that Hollywood slacks are overybody's cup of tea. They cut them now in thin materials, and fit them snugly over the chassis. So unless you're pretty trimly built around the "going- away-view" parts, stay out of long pants.

If in doubt take along your most candid "best friend when you try some on.

THE Hollywood girls have gone off mannish lines this year. Trousers are cut to full full and straight from behind the hips. Jackels are neatly waisted, with shoulders and short sleeves cut on Zeminine lines. They
