FADS FOR
FEMS

Wo are sure Phyllis Eichleberg-
er received many compliments on
tlie lovely green satin dress with
white dots that she wore to church
last Sunday. Her hat was a large
black, eye-shading straw, so ap-
propriate beneath the Southern
sun. Corky Hutchinson wore a
gray suit and white blouse, with
red accessories.
One of the smartest co-eds on
the campus seems to be Caroline
Birdwell, who Is making many of
her new Spring clothes. She
showed us a delightful brown and
whito dotted Swiss, In the “yet to
be trimmed" stage. Perhaps this
industry will inspire some of the
rest of us.
Did you see Polly Watts In her
new classroom outfit? It Is green
and white cotton, with large pock-
ets on the skirt. She wore green
fabric loafers with It.
Fabric playshoea brings to mind
the fact that we can now have
more than one pair of school shoes
without having to beg daddy for
his shoe stamp. These shoes are
plentiful, inexpensive, cool, and
gaily colored. Courtney Carter
has a pair of the most unusual
ones to appear on the campus In
some time. These are non-ra-
tloned soft leather Roman sandels,
with the soles of the ^same mater-
ial as the tops.
Peasant blouses and full skirts
seem to be as popular as ever. The
necks of both blouses and dresses
are lower, and sleeves shorter. Col-
ors are extremely bright and eye-
catching. Peplums are much in
vogue.
Girls who want to be cool with-
out cutting their hair this sum-
mer may follow the example of
Carolyn Berry. Nancy Cannell, and
Lois Anne Schnabel. The hair is
merely plaited and pulled up ac-
cross the head. For more formal
occasions it Is worn in a roll with
flowers for the finishing touch.
The girls are piHtlug as much
emphasis on a good tan as on
new clothes. Everyone seems to
bo complaining with a painful
burn, either from too much ten-
nis or just too much sun bathing.
As most everyone was at the
beauty contest Saturday night we
see no reason to comment on the
lovely gowns the girls wore. How-
ever, you might be interested to
know that Rose Marie Colca’s
dress was made of a parachute.
The silk of these Is most desirable
