FOR THAT NEW LOOK IN FORMALS—The "Dresden Doll" pale pink brocade evening dress to shine brightly throughout the seasons adds to the newest collection in formal wear. The dress is fashioned with corsetlet laceings which snug in the midriff and detail the tiny sleeves for an enchantingly feminine look.
Stumped for a Present? Try These Suggestions
Hey, Guys
One of the more conscientious newsroom-hounds wandered up to the society desk today and, laboring under the misapprehension that this person was some kind of authority asked, "what shall I give my girl for her birthday?"
Which brought something to the attention of this writer—the page has been neglecting the males lately. A gift for the ladyfriend, steady, or finance is always something of a problem, demanding appropriateness and thought.
After a bit of cognition, the problem seems to resolve itself according to the time spent dating the girl who is soon-to-have-a-birthday. So, although these rules aren't set by anything less than by convention and common sense, here they are.
Surprise you've been dating a young lady nearly a month. While perusing her driver's license or while overhearing a conversation, you find that her birthday is day after tomorrow—and you're stumped. A thoughtful and inexpensive gift would be quite apropos.
If her school coat is beige, purchase a patterned silk head scarf with beige as a predominant color. Or a lace hanky to save for extra-special parties and formalms, or perhaps a small bottle of perfume. Cost of the item? Three dollars, more or less.
For the going steady and pinned male, the problem is somewhat more weighty. Especially so if the relationship is one of long standing, and the coming birthday is another in the long series of "what shall I give her" questions.
Always appropriate is a photograph; ditto a cigaret lighter, depending of course on whether or not she smokes. A compact is suitable, but other things would seem to be preferred. A welcome gift for the smoker is a combination lighter and cigaret case—it saves fumbling for first a smoke and then a match.
YOUR EYES
One of the most useful gifts and most appreciated by a lady is a sweater. Size can be ascertained by a short chat with her roomate. Color can be determined after deciding which shade she seems to be without. Should it be long sleeved or short sleeved? That depends on which one she prefers—and you can figure that by the style she wears most often.
Cashmere sweaters are expensive, but quite attractive. And the cost seems to be justified by their long-wearing qualities. A new teal blue shade and a burnt orange color, just arrived this year, are colors she would be pretty certain to be without.
And for a finishing touch, a neckscarf matching the color of the sweater shows thoughtfulness that just won't quit.

Hollywood—(U.P.) Hollywood, a town in which unusual technica jobs are as commonplace as powder blue Cadillacs and pseudo-scientific-cults, offers no more unusual occupation than that of Harold Fogle, the waterfall man.
Technician, 'Unsung Hero' Creates Hollywood Waterfall
Along with the gents who rig synthetic moons and stars and who construct scale models of Buckingham Palace or Le Petit Trianon. Fogle is an unsung hero because he builds the bestartificial waterfalls in town.

The principal of the Royal School of Needlework in London, England, will give a public lecture Friday in the Museum of Art.
A member of the Universal-International's plumbing department, Fogle constructed the super-duper 60-foot fall currently being used as an essential background "prop" for "Tanganyika," an African veldt adventure yarn starring Van Hefflin, Ruth Roman and Howard Duff.
During her tour of this country she has spoken at museums in Nebraska and Oklahoma, ilton-King is attempting to interest American women in needlework.
Tons of water spill over its realistic-looking crest at the mere turning of a valve. Yet it took two months of preliminary paper work and six more weeks of construction to make the falls a workable prop.
The speaker will bring with her some of the work of her school.
Alarming Noise
It was virtually a one-man job for Fogle, who has been around the film city for 30 years and who is credited with installing the plumbing in the homes of more early-day movie personalities than any other pipebender in town.
The royal robes for Queen Elizabeth's coronation were designed by Mrs. Hamilton-King and kept under guard by the Royal School of Needlework until they were donned for the ceremonies.
Alarming Noise
She will talk at the Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City, Mo. before her appearance here and then will go to the west coast before returning to England.
