O NCE little upon girl a who time had there all was the a
clothes she wanted!
Imagine!
But the little girl was an actress,
and actresses must have a lot of
clothes. They lead double lives,
and must have two sets of clothes
■—one set for the characters they
portray and one set for them
selves, to wear off stage.
If the actress is a movie actress,
she of course plays more charac
ters In a working year than an
actress of the stage—s® SHE must
have even more clothes than any
one you can imagine.
Oh, yes! Once-there-was-a-littfe
girl - who - had - all. - the - clothes -
*he-wanted. That's the beginning.
And she had had so many her head
was in a whirl. So when it was
time to ^appear in her latest pic
ture, she didn’t know what in the
world to wear. Just like Every
Other Woman. She’d tried direc
tors frocks, Empire frocks, moy
enago frocks, eighteen - eighty
frock*, ever so many frocks of
ever so many periods. So she went
to China for a change, to get her
inspiration. And there is the- re
sult, right above, in the photo.
The snit is silk, and the silk. Its
U-sels, its buttons, motifs, em
broidery, and hat are from China.
The girl is Iron America. Betty

things like this. Miss Compson got

who weren’t in the competition.
Here they are:
Sleep ten hours a night..
Drink a quart of milk a day.
Eat plenty of vegetables.
Don’t wear high heels.
Don’t use face powder or rouge,
—Inez has never worn high heeU
and she was the only girl among
the contestants here who had a
perfect back.
