Helen Ready of Ayres’ Describes After-Repeal Gayety of New Yorkers Advertising Writer Back from Fashion News Gathering Trip with Ideas of Parrish, Carnegie and Other Style Leaders. BY HELEN LINDSAY THE sparkling, attractive advertisements of the women's fashions at the Ayres store are the work of Miss Helen Ready. Super-efficient in her business. Helen is a constant source of amusement to her friends. They tell a story of her visit to A Century of Progress fair last summer. It has all of the comic elements of an old-fashioned Mack Sennett comedy. . There was a hat box, too hastily and thoroughly packed, which sprung a leak in the hotel room, and had to be carried like an infant in arms, by bellboy, porter, and taxi driver. There was a forgotten purse, and a hurried loan from a friend with

which to buy a ticket to Indianapolis. And the best of all—there was the discovery when Helen arrived in Indianapolis, that she had bought, instead of a oneway ticket, a round trip fare. Last week. Helen Ready, went to New York visiting the Amos Parrish fashion clinic, and the salons of Hattie Carnegie, John Frederick, and various other prominent designers. Before leaving, she promised to write for the readers of this column, a letter giving her impression of the new New York—after repeal. The letter was to have been sent air-mail. Instead, it arrived when Miss Ready did, concealed among mysterious papers dealing with “windswept silhouettes.” “cocktail fashions” and other fashion notes. tt tt tt

New York Gayer Today than Ever . . , ... , Mrs. Lindsay IN spite of its late arrival, its still interesting, for it presents New York as seen through the eyes of an Indianapolis girl. The letter follows: “Take this. I promised it to you. It’s bound to be bad and the spelling will be terrible but what’s spelling when you’re intent on keeping a promise and keeping it between cocktails at the Park Lane and dinner in the Empire room of the Waldorf? “New York is gay! Gayer than anything you’ve ever seen beforel Bright lights, soft music, beautiful women and clothes that fairly take your breath away. We’ve only scratched the surface back in Indianapolis! Fifth Avenue is lousy with mink —one might as well get vulgar about mink, it’s the only way such as I can treat it calmly! “Much black in the daytime, though I noticed quite a few bright tailored dresses under dark coats at Longchamps and Park & Tilford for lunch, “But at the cocktail hour—then is when those women pictured in Vogue and photographed in Harper’s come out in their loveliest dresses. You see them in glamorous fashions—yes, I know it’s overworked—but how else can you describe a black velvet dress with a black velvet hat, topped, would you believe it, with a plume? I saw it with my own eyes sipping a Manhattan at the Marguery the other evening around the hour: of six. “Across from me at the Park Lane sat a debutante whose name echoes around the world in shipping circles. She wore a bright red. not-too-elaborate afternoon dress with a mink coat flung over the back of her chair. Her hat? A halo, sorta, only very modified in brown felt. a tt a a a Great Ovation Given Ballet Russe * A T the Ballet Russe last Wednesday night for the second time In a il. decade, a New York audience got up on the seats; yelled, howled and screamed for more! The audience was spectacular and very snitzy but the ballet called forth the biggest demonstration seen in America since Bee Lille and Gertrude Lawrence first appeared in Sharlot’s Second Revue—how many years ago? “Very formal, are the audiences at the theater —the most formal I saw at “Mary of Scotland”—and there is a play! And “Ah, Wilderness” at the Guild. I counted five ermine wraps in one party—wouldn’t I? and stopped dead on the street to watch a monocled man with topper and tails go tearing out in the midst of after-theater traffic to hail a taxi! Just my yokel tendencies! But such a problem in balance had me completely enchanted. “At the supper clubs around twelve, tails are much more in evidence than tuxedos, but the women’s fashions are more divided—about half and half between the most sensational formals and dinner dresses with long sleeves and very low backs, the latter worn with wisps of hats that do things to one’s eyes. o tt a a o Song from “Roberta” Is Popular “HnHE song everybody is singing is “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” from A “Roberta,” next to “As Thousands Cheer,” the best of the musical comedies, with some grand clothes in it. George Olsen is doing “Wooden Head, Puddin’ Head Jones,” and “the Last Round-Up,” so that it brings tears to your eyes. Went to the Music Hall and saw the matinee idol of Broadways last season, Francis Lederer, in “Man of Two Worlds.” The movie’s not so good but Mr. Lederer is quite a lad. “As to fashions —it would take your whole society page for me to tell you about them. I’m just giving you New York as it seems to be, not forgetting that the thing most New Yorkers seem to get the kick out of is skating in Central park on Sunday afternoons and in the evenings. I walked through, myself, and the skyline hits you right between the eyes. I’d do you a rhapsody about this town if I could and had the time! I’ll tell you all about the fashions when I get home—and now, pet, I'm off—with an ink-stained finger. Whoever heard of any one going to the Waldorf with an ink-stained finger! See you next week.”
