Titled Designer of Fashions i Ones Career to Depression ♦ ♦ ♦ * * ♦ Countess de Regoli Started to Create Clothes When Trade Slump Swallowed Fortune. Scored Success in Paris and New York. I ' L Ik. > ife? W: Rte-J & > ■■ I I II I la * h- i i . ; I Ml — — The ill wind of the depression that blew many a notable into oblivion blew Countess de Regoli, whose trade name is Vera Borea, to the top of the sartorial Olympus and into a position where she is a serious threat to the hitherto supreme Paul Poiret. Mme. Borea, when the trade slump hrd melted her fortune, left her home in Italy and made her debut as a faithion designer in Paris where she firmly planted her feet on the trail to success. She is now in America advancing still higher in her chosen career. One of her pet theories is that a woman needs but two types of clothes —sport* outfits and evening gowns. She acts as her own mannequin and tries out every suit she designs before offering it to the public. Above Mme. Borea shows two of her favorite models, which achieved tremendous success at a recent exhibit in New York. At left is an ensemble for rainy weather, which is decorative as well as extremely practical. It I consists of a rain coat and hat of rubberized silk wita a crepe surface. At right Mme. Borea shows an evening gown, with which she wears a j charming coat of butterfly silhouette. The coat is of dark brown feulle •ilk and has an appealing air that is strongly reminiscent of the almost forgotten grandeur of the mauve decade.

New York. —S|K»rts clothes anil evenin? clothes, these are the two I types of clothes that a woman i needs. Taat is the opinion of Vera i Borea. tbe young Italian designer, i who h.s made satorial history in Paris, Vera Borea. who n private life i- tile Countess de Regoli, anil her partner. Princess d<' Dohati have just arrived in America. Mme. Borea wants to see her clients in their homes, she wants to visit count y jclwbs and oeaches so that she can | l>e aided in creating n;orts clothes for her Annetican cUente. For Vera Bo: ea. who showed her first collection only last August, itas scored a tremendous success with American buyers, both private and professional. Per saps it is because site is a depression dressmaker the outcome of the economic situation. Vera Borea went to wonk because i she had to. Her fortune lost, she deI cidcd to make sports clothes for her ! friends, some of whom had been |equ.4ly hard hit. And so she decid icd to eiieninate all overhead. She | worked in her kitchen and showed | the work in her little living room, i acting as her own mannequin. And ! itefte still, -he utilized the most simple of fabrics for her creations. i Last Summer, she was persuaded to show her collection and she visitors who came out of . ui iosity of friend ship remained to buy uif everything she had to offer. Vera Borea had "arrived'' and was the talk of Paris and New York. The Princess de RoI han. who fiad been with Schiaiparellt, Joined the beantifitl young | Italian noblew<*r,an atrd the firm [was ;ealy launched. And although j there are trow over one hundred , workers and her clients include I some of the best-known women of : Europe and America, the air of simplirl’y is still maintained. Vera Borea still acts as her own mannequin and the price of every gown

> is clea ly shown. Talking with Mme Borea in her 1 suite at tie Waldorf listeria in New 1 York, one is struck with her sim- • plietty, eflected in he work, and 1 1 her te rifle enthusiasm. A .-tortswoman, she triers out the pac'.ic- ■ bility of every gaiment she designs. Sue swims in a b thing suit ■ and plays tennis or golf in a sports • ensemble before it is offered to the ptihii . She favors rough fabrics for practical clothes and many of her materials are rfc signed by he: and made to her special order. 1 String, cork, httep, all these have | their part in the mating of her cloLies. She itn at grace in movement and her golf and tennis I clothes arc designed with this in J view. A rather high waistod silhouette is favored by Ve a Korea for boYi day clothes —wltLh to her means lil.orts clotnes —and evening frocks Sports frocks should be essentially simple with amusing details at add. 'cbaim and originality to even the I most tpractic.fi frock. All women ' should wear sports clothes, ?he be--1 Roves, just as all women should in- ' dulge in some sport, whether it be 1 tennis, golf, swimming or just plain 1 hiking. For age has been banished • | and the slim figure and bsuyant en--1 e gy are not the preiogative of youth alone. young and fresh, she intends to keep these attributes, even if she has landed in big business. Make-us should be kept as simple . (possible with sports clothes, accoiding to Vera Berea. Just enough to look fresh, with no eye shadow . o. mascara, no hint of artificiality. I At night one can splurge a little ! and gild the IHy, if one so incines. But a minimum of cosmetics and ! costumes accessories for the day please. And no smooth f brics for rough scorts clothes. Rough sports clothes. Rough woolecs, natural

| Murder Ladh THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY 1 x-> by ANTHONY ABBOT I uil iiu ttiuiiiii'i 7r~ - i

SYNOPSIS At 11:30 on New Year's Eve. Police Comissioner Thatcher Colt arrives at the exclusive Mayfair Club in response to a mysterious summons from District Attorney Merle Dougherty. The latter informs Colt he believes Lola Carewe. known as “The Night-Club Lady”, widow of Gaylord Gifford, the cotton millionaire is the “higher-up” responsible for numerous jewel robberies perpetrated recently which baffle the police. Though her husband died practically penniless. Lola lives in luxury. She arrives at the Mayfair accompanied by Vincent Rowland, an attorney. At Lola’s urgent request, Colt joins her party. She voices the fear that she will not leave Mayfair alive, adding that her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. And. tonight, she received a note threatening death before three a. m. Accompanied by detectives and one woman operative. Colt goes with Lola to her apartment. CHAPTER FIVE IN silence we rode up the elevator shaft to the pent-house which Lola Carewe called her home, — an aerie perched high in the New York skyline like the nest of some predatory bird. On the twenty-sec-ond floor, our way led down a long, heavily carpeted corridor, mysterious in its dim light, to the foot of an iron stairs leading up to the penthouse door. Still without talk, we began the ascent of those steps. Four times the iron staircase turned in Its climb to Lola's dwelling place. At each landing, I noticed that. Thatcher Colt held back the party while he turned first. Dougherty, puffing and blowing, kept pace bravely with him; Lola followed, with Vincent Rowland, Harris, and myself bringing up the rear. At the top of the stairs, we found the detail from Headquarters. In charge of the party was Lieutenant Fallon, of Colt's personal staff, with Detectives Langley and Schwartz, and a group of lesser known men, with one of our girl operatives, Dorothy Lox, an ample housewifely brunette, later famous for her help to Colt in the Chinatown Seven Murders case. As Fallon saluted, he reported: “I got the building plans from the office downstairs; they think it’s a burglar scare. We can guard every window and door of the penthouse, except the ones that open on a sheer drop to the street, with plenty of men for the terrace and roof—and you can use Miss Lox inside.” “Let me see the lay-out." The chief studied the paper—a printed diagram showing the floor plans of the pent-house. "Very good," he said, after a moment. “Let’s go!” Waving aside the key Lola offered him, Colt rang the apartment bell. Fallon saluted and nodded toward the other detectives, who scattered toward the places assigned to them. All approaches to the pant-house were now under heavy police guard. The door was opened by a short and rather stout Chinaman, with a completely bald head, and a face inexpressibly homely. The yellow man was wearing a house-robe of green silk, loose-flowing, girdled -with a rope sash and ornamented with a pattern of dragons wrought in golden thread. Rich apparel for a man-servant! He was a bizarre ap-1 parition, our first encounter with Lola Carewe’s singular household.; I wondered if Colt would not compare him with a pensive sea-ele-phant in repose. Standing with his yellow hands folded at his thighs, and his large head slightly swaying from side to side, the Oriental butler said, evenly and distinctly “A happy new year to you. madame, after the custom of the!

I wondered if he pattered 1 around these rooms all day long , making heroic speeches like that. , Or whether he was just another , player in a show that Lola Carewe f was staging —for what possible j purpose? , We were in a small reception hall and the front door of the apart- ; ment had clanged shut, closing us i in. The air was stiflingly warm, t Later we were to find the whole 1 apartment overheated. Chung took . our wraps and waddled to a closet i We were about to follow our hosti ess down the broad corridor, when i the Commissioner said: t “Miss Carewe, you are not to be in any room alone at any time. When I cannot be with you, Miss ( Lox here must attend you.” r With a martyr’s smile, Lola agreed. . 2 Anythin * e,s «-” she inquired. I shall wish to make a tour of . your apartment, terrace, and roof, t 1 want to see every room. Then I . should like to meet al) the members > of your household.” .
