She couldn't eat lunch for two reasons: with the corset on, she couldn't swallow a bite; and if she took it off to eat, she couldn't get it on again. She had to give up breakfast too, because with it she found that she couldn't get the corset on in the first place! CAN YOU GUESS THESE? .

Technicolor mus- ical "One Sunday Afternoon". He was christened Uriah Hun- secker, and he was born in Brok- en Arrow, Okla. "I had to change it to Blane", he said, "because I had trouble getting publishers to consider my work. "With a name like that", they declared, "you should not even sit down at a piano".

Earlier this year he made his Broadway stage debut with Ju- dith Anderson in "Medea", This week he made his screen bow with Joan Crawford in a scene for "Flamingo Road", a Michael Curtiz production for Warner Bros.

Well, brace yourself gal. I'm about to delve into a few fashion predic- tions for spring. Think it's too early to tall about spring? Not on your life! The nation's top de- signers already have turned out their spring colections and buyers throughout the country are mak- ing their selections.

This means the first line will be directly below the bust, Florence Marly gave a preview of this forth-coming trend when she attended a recent showing of her first American movie "Sealed Verdict". - The flame-haired Eur- opean actress wore a fittde black skirt that extended just below the bustline with a long-sleeved white lace blouse. .....Wide bare neck- line will be a "must" for spring that is, dresses will feature wide V's, low square and deep rounded lines. The idea is to frame the head and shoulders with the necklines. DID YOU GUESS RIGHT? 1. "Moanin' Low"; 2. Silver; 3. "The Paradine Case".
