NEW MODELS STIMULATE MILADY’S INTEREST
Milady’s interest in clothes is peren-
nial but if she needed anything to
stimulate her interest in things sar-
torial the charming new models appear-
ing in the couturier’s and in the shops
would certainly do it. Even raincoats
meant to be worn in the dreariest of
weather flaunt all the colors of the
rainbow and are “things of beauty.”
The raincoat worn by Miss Gilda
Gray dancer (left) is not colored how-
ever but is a striking one of white
leather designed by Lucien Lelong. The
dress worn with it is a Lanvin model
in a combination of shell pink kasha
and Chinese silk. The bandfng with
which it is trimmed is made of narrow
gold and gray braid with inserts of liz-
ard skin. Pockets and a turn-over con-
vertible collar are features of the dress.
A new party frock (right) would re-]
new one's interest in dancing if the
strenuous holiday season has worn on-j
out and dampened one’s ardor in that
direction it is« made of white chiffon
velvet the close-fitting bodice being
trimmed with narrow bands of bead1-
into a diamond shaped pattern and com
ing just to the hips. The skirt is very
full and bordered by a wide band of
very fine silk lace. The bead trimming
is used quite elaborately both on the
bodice and skirt. Miss June Marlowe
of the cinemas is the wearer.
Once more the small hat is vindicat-
ed in two chic little models in the cen-
ter of the picture. Both are of the more
dressy type the one at the top ' e:ng
a turban of soft felt with gentle rolling
brim and drooping ostrich decoration
they are the type of chapeau too ’hat
may be worn at any season of the y -ar

SMITH BILL ON
L C. C APPROVED
f
Regional Representation
on Board Favored by
Senate Committee
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 11.—The
principle of the Smith bill foT regional
representation on the interstate com-
merce commission was approved todny
hy the senate interstate commerce com-
mission committee.
A sub-committee was appointed to
work out details as to the number of
regions in which the country should be
divided for purposes of making future
appointments. Senator Smith of Soutn
Carolina ranking democrat on the
committee and author of the bill ib
chairman of the sub-committee.
The proposal first was made some
months ago when Southern senators
were opposing the confirmation of
Thomas F. Woodlock of New York as a
member of the commission on the
ground that the southeast was being de-
prived of representation. Mr. Wood-
lock’s nomination again is pending
along with that of Richard V. Taylor
of Alabama hut the solution thus sug-
gested is not satisfactory to some sou / -
thorn senators.
