They were vying for escorts, who us ually paid for the extravanganzas but were busier with the four legged girls (fillies). This time I sat .in Mr. Ralph Strassburger's box. He has the second largest stable in France. With my specs and binoculars glued to my face I am sure no one suspected I was not looking at the horses but trying to find the smartest in styles. I scanned thousands of specta tors. Tovard the end of the day I was quite frantic because I thought I must be losing my eye sight. Where were the chic wom en. I could count them all on one hand. Two Friends Two were my friends. Mrs. Bertram Taylor, who the last few years has been spending more time in Europe than Amer ica, was wearing a very smart suit of brown and black tweed trimmed with black persian lamb. Arlette Marchal, who play ed Napoleon's sister in "Madame Sans Gene" when I made the move here in Paris in 1925, was also very smart in a tiny black and white check suit. Both these old friends confessed they were wearing "last year's" models. I had seen only five attrac tively dressed women and here were two of the five confessing they were wearing last year's! 'But why," I asked, "don't you like the ' new Y look of Dior's or the 'draw-string ( of Givenchy?" Dead silence. Until one charm ing and very outspoken old gal with a French title and an Ohio background said, "Gloria, surely you know why everyone is wearing last year's clothes in the middle of September." The Explanation I knew, of course, why I was wearing a three-year suit, but I said "no" and that little word was air the encouragement she needed. Of course my ears were flapping as she told me that "The collections were made for buyers (mostly Americans) and tourists .they have to cause a sensation or there would be nothing to talk about. "Naturally the Frenchwoman is too conservative for freakish . . ... i .

(International) Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent .Hollywood (U.R) They've been crying for new faces in the movies, and they finally got one t n rl a v. Oscar- winner Wil- 1 i a m Holden gave up his fa mous "normal" face by dyeing his hair black and adding a b r 1 s tly mus tache. Usually it's only the glam- Aline Mosby our dolls who dye for a living and change the color of their tresses to match cars, roles or husbands. But now Holden has dipped into the dye pot to ac quire a "new look" for a movie part. -Movia Indians Currently the once bland faced Willie is wooing Deborah Kerr as a quarter-Indian In "The Proud . and the Profane." In dians, according to the movies, must look dark. Holden and pro ducer William Perlberg decided -the actor's familiar old face did not fit the part, so now fans and even some of his co-workers don't recognize him. "Oh, I have to have my hair and mustache touched up every four or five days.," said Holden with studied casualness. "When we were on location in the Virgin Islands there was no place to do this except the local beauty shop. There were 20 women in the shop, and when the girl would get around to dye ing my mustache, they'd all roar with laughter. Holden, lounging in his dress ing room between scenes at Paramount, tweaked at the new cookie duster and added, "I've never had a mustache before and I hate them. You can feel your breath hot and heavy be low your nose." But the disguise is all for art as it helps "the characterization" in the picture, he thinks. ' "My face is so normal it's pa thetic," Holden continued "Once you change your appear ance it gives you a cloak to ex plore a new character." , Glenn Ford is another actor who discovered a change in coif fure can bring different roles. After he tried a crew cut he landed top dramatic roles at MGM in such films as "The TriaLB He's Got Privacy ' Besides giving him a different face on the screen, Holden's dis guise offers him temporary pri-' vay that a big star seldom knows. " "It was really wonderful when we stopped in New York," he reflected. "I walked right past a group of autograph hounds they didn't know me. I could go any place. It was great except when it came to a head waiter at a restaurant where I always eat. He looked right past me."

' But wait until next month that's an other story, when collections are designed especially for her." I asked what would happen to Mr. Dior's alphabet look. What a nice husky laugh she had. "Well, my dear, our French woman didn't accept the 'H' and A' and I hardly think she will want to look like Y." : I couldn't help interjecting that I personally couldn't wait for the "O" look, for I was sure it was going to be the most com fortable of all. With that somebody shouted "Gloria! your long-shot 'Beauty' came in second." I made the saucy remark that one could never depend on "beauty." Lightning-Struck Man Said It Didn't Hurt Norton, Kan. (U.R) When lightning strikes, "you don't feel a thing," says a man who should know. Emanuel Schwab, farmer who was hit by lightning while on his tractor, said the pain only comes later "when your muscles begin to loosen up." Schwab was listing corn and he just raised the lister when "it happened." "I suddenly was paralyzed," he recalled on a hospital bed. 'I couldn't move my arms, legs or head. I knew I must stop the tractor and I finally could "Gradually I was able to drive on home, but I had to be lifted from the tractor seat." He was treated for shock and for burns on his neck and left leg. Valparaiso, Ind. JCU.RV Two sisters, 'Mrs! Donald '-Breitzke, Valparaiso, and Mrs.' Eugene Beschinski, Chesterfield, gave birth to children on the same day at Porter Memorial hospital here. The baby cousins,' both boys, were born within 12 hours of each other. BUSTESS FIRST Jtthadron, Neb. (U.RV Mer chants here complained that a safety campaign against jay walking "was hurting business. So the city manager said that "If people want to jay-walk, they can go right ahead."
