Vintage Paparazzi’s First-Run Fashions

Marie McDonald

currently starring in Hunt Stromberg’s “Guest In The House” takes a Ming fling for Spring . . . chooses this Joseph Halpert original with its clean-jutting, side-buttoned mandarin tunic of crisp white cotton and slim tapering black cotton skirt. Daisy chain hat by Sally Victor

Play on Colors

is the theme of the Florence Gainor sun-fun suit Marie McDonald picks. It’s a study in stripes and solids . . . with abbreviated waist and sleeves. High style skirt boasts one important button (instead of a row!). Shorts dovetail into a close-fitting midriff. In Hope Skillman cotton

Come look, look lovely! See how perfectly these beautiful fashions are made for you . . . made to make your summer something special . . . made to make your budget balance, too! First (with whip in hand) a crisp-cool button-down-the-fronter with spun-sugar icing that highlights your arms and charms, lights up your face. Second (with navy in tow), a sugar dandy with clean-cropped lines, a mammoth fake monogram, to give you a forever-well-groomed look. Both in white, maize, blue, aqua, chartreuse or gray spun rayon. 12-20. Each about $9 at 18 top-notch stores.
