This type is the sort college girls go for, and their practicality is emphasized in that some of them have a collar attachment cleverly taped so that it may be converted into a hood. There is quite a wide use being made of durable all-over lace in tints to match the crepe with which it is made up. One lovely model has a peplum jacket blouse of all-over lace which tops a skirt in matched- color crepe. An increasing trend to soft styling is noted all the way through the advance at-home ap parel collections. since 1 started making pictures I ’ve 1 wanted to throw a pie at someone," said she. “ It seemed such fun.
