-W. i'lf""'
By LA NELLE CARUTHERS
In spring a girl's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
frilly dresses frothy hankies crazy bonnets and toelcss
heel-less shoe-less shoes. Today if we were concocting
a spring wardrobe from what we see every day on the'
campus here is what we'd1 chase:
-::-
Hats are important and this year they are more im-
portant more unusual and more diversified than ever
before. For our linens we will chase Mary Evelyn
Fuston's perky of f-the-face crisp white straw. For
dignified street wear we'll take Charlexa Jones' beige
felt hat which gives striking accent to her flashing black
eyes. For that old faithful black dress weMl immediately
choose Mary Jane Garrison's sltiny black straw softened
with dainty pink flowers. Of course that covers the' field
perfectly but since pur-pocket-book doesn't enter into
this we'll be extravagant. iFor that delicious extrava-
ganza we'll take Mary Sue Boone's huge picture hat
What could ask for more? Now that our chapeau prob-
lems are settled let's delve into a pleasant task of. "frock
Fancying!"
Firsf'we must meet' our school needs and Parthenia
Buchanan's dainty lace-'trlmmed'batiste answers perfect-
Hy. A 'dress that we.slmply must have is RebaJii Bil-

f ""fcoicjr f; fJlUt: W1H.-II. UUV1UVU -YVIVH .HUgC Willie 11UUUUH.
To wear on that? weekly Saturday shopping tour we
1 should have 'a dnlntjrtprihtedsilk'so Gwendolyn March-
want's will be lovely. To round'but this dress problem
there must be included short-sleeved sweaters. An irre-
sistible one is Doris Minchew's cool blue one with multi-
colored balls at the 'neck. Eilene McReynolds looks very
fetching in a baby blue wooly one with sofe embroidery
at the neck and sleeves ; so we can't resist that one
either.
It would indeed be 'an -unstable wardrobe without a
foundation even if the foundation is not very firm. The
modern shoe is merely a mass of straps but very pleas-
ing to the eye. The ones that attract the most atten-
tion are the flashing high-heeled red ones of Evelyn
White. We must have those and the attractive ones of
Ruth Iris White. They are white" very high heels with
a huge black bow on top of the foot! -
Now that the wardrobe is absolutely complete we'd
like to borrow Alma Fern Green's hair Mildred Harpi
eyes Amelia Basferviile's complexion and Norma Sha-
han's smile.
