Americana .. By Robert €C. Ruark
NEW YORK, Aug. 17—I tarried briefly in Paris the other day in order to fulfill my sacred duty to the distaff department, and must report that the new haut mode is even more expensive, if possible, and the models scrawnier. And this time they are affecting tri-colored hair, possibly as a gesture of patriotism. The myth that the average American is constructed entirely of platinum continues. You can order ‘yp a chic wool number, suitable for football games, for as little as $600, and a girl of simple tastes can pick out an evening dress anywhere for two thousand clams. Beads and sequins go with it, For the first time in the history of high couture, it was not necessary to handcuff mama to the hotel plumbing fixtures. She took one gander at the Jacques Fath collection, murmured an obscenity, and confined her shopping to scarves, I take this as a hopeful sign. A great many American suckers—I mean ladies—were, saying a loud and profane “non” to the impertinences of the designers this vear, on the simple grounds that they can buy it cheaper and prettier over here. $ & & YOU CAN STRETCH a chump just so far and eventually logic penetrates even the more obtuse female skull. My dreams lack a long walk to maturity, but there is a foreseeable day when the Yankee woman may realize that Paris has been playing awfully expensive jokes for many a dreary year, Much of the delicious humor in the caricatures of gay Parig today is to be found in the hat department. Hats are jammed down over the evebrows, giving Madame the general appearance of a monkey with his head stuck in a bucket. The ones” with fur and fuss and feathers need a periscope attachment to prevent the poor wearer from colliding with cabs, There is a vrai chic in the sleevey, too, this season. They build them with sewn-on muffs. The house of Jean Desses features one coat on which

It Mapnened Last Night : Earl Sees a Slimmer
By Earl Wilson
ROME, Aug. 17--Twop years and one week after her famous return from Stromboli when she gave out a midnight announcement that she was retiring from the movies, Ingrid Bergman strides about on her low heels talking excitedly about starting another picture here next month for her beloved husband, Roberto Rossellini. “We were going to call it ‘Europe, 1851," but with the delays, 1 think we'd better call jt ‘Europe, 1952".” Ingrid told mef} with a iaugh when we came thisi way on our round-the-world hop. | “When will it start?” I asked. “Oh, just as soon as we cane get ready ir September,” replied Ingrid, placidly. Su Thanks to this—and to her successful reunion with her daughter Pia in London a couple of weeks ago—Ingrid today seems happier, slimmer, healthier and more chic than she’s been in years. And apparently the widely-peddled rumors of domestic trouble aren't worth the columns they're printed in. Talking to this columnist, Ingrid was especially delighted about her visit with Pia. “She’s grown up, and oh, she's beautiful she’s lovely!” Ingrid said.

“AND WHAT do you think of this? I lived in London for 10 days and nobody knew it!” Ingrid said her London rendezvous with Pia was accomplished with ~onsiderable secrecy because she ‘and her ex-husband Dr. Peter Lindstrom wanted it that way for the sake of the child. “It was such a very, very short meeting.” Ingrid added regretfully, “but well, we were together for about a week. We went to the counfry together... . we went to the movies together.” Roberto of course, avoided any meeting with Dr. Lindstrom, But afterward, Roberto drove his red Ferrari racing car—which he usually holds down ‘to 100 miles an hour-—from . Rome ‘to
London té pick up Ingrid and bring her home.
People who saw the Ross®llinis sightseeing at the Festival in London ind later in Paris were astonished at the continuing rumors. “The reporters,” philosophizes Roberto, “write what they hope will come true.”
IN HER return to the screen, Ingrid will attempt an intensely dramatic role. “I play a woman of the world.” she said. The story will be about a wealthy woman not in love with her husband, trying to find out what she wants, trying “to find herself.” It

the sleeves extend beyond the hands, as if milady were wearing her husband’s castoff overcoat, y LE y BUT WITH gallic practicality a hole has been cut in the sleeves 'so the poor girl can free her hands to scratch, perhaps, or to slap a presuming gentleman. With added practicality the sleeves were supplied with buttons and buttonholes, though how in the name of heaven a female may be expected to button herself into her own sleeves is slightly beyond me. : The. poor starved mannequins, all of whom appear to be in flight from a DP camp, have added great wens of phony hair to their little pinheads, with such tremendous buns extending from their matchstick necks that they seem to have been dipped headfirst into a mudhole. Average color on the same head is blond, red and black, and I personally would rather make a pass at a barber pole. There is fur scattered over everything from BVD’s to ballet slippers, which again is a fine sign of true French acumen. Fur makes anything cost more, as do the hundreds of buttons which are sewn among the bows and flounces. ¢ & THE DEMOISELLE who becks her swain to button her up needs literally a platoon of admirers and the best part of the day to complete the job. The buyers and the fashion artists who sit around making ducky little sketches, I also would fain report, appear even dumpier and dowdier than ever. They all have a definitely woolly look, rather like a middle-aged English tourist, and I trust you remember this when the too-too magazines begin their siren clamor to enhance your chic this fall. The girls hang around these glamour orgies year after year, but none of the “smartness” ever rubs off —which would incline me to distrust right away when they start to peddle the frou-frou to | the simple souls who still swoon when the flimsilysewn creation shrieks Paree.

will be shot with plenty of Rome's historic places as background. To other film producers asking her abdut going back on the screen she says, “I don't want to talk about any picture until I do this ‘one for my husband. After that well, if somebody has a good one, I might.” Ingrid will not be seeing Pia again before she returns to California and school, but she will continue to call her weekly. Ingrid’s other enthusiasm, of course, is baby Robertino, now 18 months old, and a chunky youngster, and a lover of the Mediterranean, alongside which he’s living, this summer.

INGRID has fit her life into the somewhat more leisurely. Italian pattern. Roberto, after a day in hot Rome, zips home in his Ferrari to their seashore summer place, sometimes arriving for dinner at 10 or 11. Ingrid waits. She’s in no hurry to eat, either. She’s always boasted of a lack of interest in clothes but lately Roberto and other friends have persuaded her to let the Italian courturier, Gattinone, make her more chie. But she clings to the flat heels that help her look "less tall, “ob THE MIDNIGHT EARL: Heroin in large quantities is selling in Italy at 409 below last year’s prices because the smugglers have lost so many shipments to the narcotics hounds . . .
