Miss Bullock's Flair For Style Is Impressive By JUNE L'RHUE The annual shows of Beulah Bullock, New York top designer, always have demonstrated her prowess in the field of creative design, but styles recently modeled in the Hotel Diplomat's Grand ballroom prove that, beyoung doubt, the young woman's flair for originality has soared to even new heights. As breath taking as her gowns, frocks and suits of earlier years have been, hardly any could have been styled to lend as much vari Mv esncclally that the latest Bullock creations distinguished themselves, and provoked such thunderous approval from guests.

Another inescapable observation of the event was the degree to which this variety could be utilized to meet the challenge faced by the career, girl, who in a fast moving age must keep her spending within the bounds of a modest budget, and at the same time, meet today's rigid demands for presenting herself favorably around the clock. Not only did all the frocks that were modeled have jackets, but they also were made with the kind of collars, belts, peplums, panels and what have you, that could be manipulated so as to serve a multiplicity of purposes. Spectators who may by chance have needed a solution to this kind of problem certainly must' have left the affair assured that for their next almost immediate ly after work hours function, so cial or otherwise, it is possible to look and feel not as if they had simply removed the jacket of the dress they had worn all day, but as if they were wearing a totally different outfit. We witnessed such amazing aa nipulations as: the detachable sleeves borrowed from their original positions and deftly converted into a hugh pocket at the hipline; a ravishing stole made to look equally exciting when sported as a sash with ends arranged in a bow; a panel buttoned to the back quick as lightening and become a devesting collar. Tne show was climaxed with a gown draping act in which the talented fingers of Beulah Bullock, using pins and yards and yards of lush fabrics, created lHflTOfiED tit thai faaMMa "ikm tiajittsjat" traaa at aa rara ipecial aid with four ttfwlaf cream act gcatrr aa cereal ireaber coaplaioa lifhtacat ipcttb dM aataral lakiaf away of the old akin.
