What Notable Women Are Wearing, including Louise Brooks

I am always researching Louise Brooks, and just recently, I came across a newspaper series titled "What Notable Women Are Wearing." From what I could gleam, this nationally syndicated series was authored by Marie Munneux, who was described as an International Illustrated News Fashion Authority. (Her name was not on every piece.) Typically, individual pieces include a feature photo of a well known woman wearing fashionable clothes of the time. 

These notable women might include actresses - like Norma Shearer, Edna Purviance, Yola d'Avril, or Jeanne Eagels, or other famous or well known individuals like Lady Astor, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, or Belle Bart, a noted astrologist. A paragraph or two of text might tell who the celebrity is, where the picture might have been taken, and describe the clothes they are wearing. 

I found two entries in the series which featured Louise Brooks. Below, I've included two pieces which, although they feature the same content, have a slightly different layout. 

For fun, here are a few of the other entries in the series which I came across, including Joan Crawford, Aileen Pringle, Gertrude Olmstead and the great Pearl White.

I sure wish these late 1920s newspaper fashion pictures reproduced better, but what can you do.... Still, they offer a snapshot into the Jazz Age. The second paragraph in the clipping that follows
pokes fun at the era's fashions, which some thought too revealing.
