FASHION FACTS

Leave your feminity at home when you plan a round of skating and skiing. Choose warm and wooly clothes of dark colours and unadorned styles — if you wish to give the right impression. * * Kathryn Crawford, who has a fdatured part in "Emma," wears an outfit for outdoor winter sports, consisting of a dark green over-blouse, which closes with a zipper, and baggy trousers that tuclc under hoots. A comhination stocking cap and scarf guarantees to keep the snow from finding its way under the collar, and cuffed mittens fulfil the same purpose for the hands. * * Anita Page and Una Metkel, two lovely Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer hlondes, go in for twin roles in their favourite skating outfits. The only differenee is that Anita prefers to wear a skirt, while Una Merkel likes trousers. In all other respects the costumes are identieal. Both are of dark corduroy, with belted and buttoned blouses, set oif with dark green skull caps, polka-dotted scarfs, wrist-length mittens, and socks. :1s * * Karen Morley, who is of the intelligent beauty type, recognises that a close-to-the-head coiffure suits her personality best. In "Arsene Lupin," she wears two corffures of such a type, both following the contour of the head with centre partings. One shows a braided coronet that wraps

' around the head over the softly waved foundation. Such a coiffure is suitable for the evening. Ear-rings and those jewelled hair-pins, which are so much in vogue at present, may be worn with this style of coiffure. * * * Oue popular style is the cowboy kerchief. Miss O'Sullivan has one of navy blue, with white star patterns, which she can tie in two different ways. Sometimes she wears it tied at the back, with a eowl effect at the front. She can also wear this throat" style. The ends are brought around from the back, and tied at the side, with the kerchief worn high around the throat. :!= * 5 Anita Page is another blonde charm-, er who is fixing her hair differently these days. Heretofore, Miss Page favoured a frame of hair around her face, but now she prefers a more sever fashion. She wears her hair brushed back from the forehead and the ears. A high side parting is followed with the 'ends curled up in soft waves across the back. Miss Page wears this type of coiffure in her Iatest screen role in the M-G-1VI' picture, "Are You Listening?" * * * Una Merkel, whose work in M-G-M's "Private Lives" won her a contract with that company, represerits the truly feminine type. Her soft wavy hair discloses the comhination of long hair at the back, with the sides bob-

bed. This, she has found, makes it much easier for her to fix her hair in becoming manner. Miss Merkel also prefers bangs. She wears her hair with a side parting, softly waved and btushed into a low rounded coil. | The sides are curled out over the

| ears, and the bangs waved over the forehead. ♦ * * The statuesque MisS BruCe has never been one of the bobbed hair flappers and so she has always had long hair. She arranges her hair becomingly with a side parting and the ends done up in a figure eight at the nape of the neck. This type of coiffure ideally sets off Miss Bruce's elassicaL features. * * * Blue-eyed and fair-haired Mary Carlyle, the little actress who is still in her teens, wears her haii', for party occasions, piled atop her head. Ringlet curls with bow catchers are curled around the face and neck in beguiling manner. * * * Taffetas are rustling in tune with this season's dresses — their crisp quality fallihg in the Same lines as they did when Worn in graiidmother's day. * * * * The same off-the-shoulder style is followed, with the same tight bodice and ruching trimmings on a full skirt. The same lovely laces add a decorative touch to both dresses, which are floor-length.
