Manhattan Beauty Specialist Favors
"Wi ndow" Bosom Gowns Predicted
By ROBERT RICHARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—Eunice
Skelly, a Manhattan beauty
specialist, said today that if Hol
lywood designers turn out an eve
ning dress with a "window” bos
om, she’s just the gal who will
wear it.
Miss Skelly was commenting on
a United Press dispatch from Hol
lywood yesterday which quoted
Renie, who designs costumes for
; movie queens, as predicting that
feminine clothes with complete up
! per exposure would be along next.
“My dear,” Miss Skelly, a for
| mer Ziegfeld Follies beauty, said.
“I want you to know that I think
the idea is gorgeous.”
Miss Skelly said there isn’t any
thing, for instance, much uglier
than the average nose—yet women
stick them out all over the place.
Miss Skelly draws a large part
of her income from putting wo
men’s bosoms into shape. She
thinks, since they pay $10 a visit,
they might as well get their mon
ey’s worth and expose her handi
craft to the public’s eye.
John Robert Powers, of model
fame, took an entirely different
view.
“I think that we had better teach
women how to keep their heads
out of their shoulders and their
shoulders out of their hips before
we do anything like that,” he
said.
Powers contends that most Amer
ican women still retain that “deb
utante slouch” and that they’ll
have to snap out of it if they want
to make the most out of any trans
parent dress.
Louis Feder. a Fifth avenue hair
expert who specializes in men’s
toupee’s, was happy to hear about
Renie’s ’prediction.
“It will help my business a great
deal, I think,” he said.
“And how will it help your bus
iness?”
“Why,” Feder said, “The first
week that women dress like that
the shock will be terrific. Before
many a man can get jpis eyes
closed, he’ll have lost his hair.”

nounced plans today for rehabili
