WEDNESDAY APRIL 23; 1941
for The Casual-
Ifis Wash Frocks
"Neat and novel" must have
been the slogan for manufac
turers of this season's wash
dresses. Shops are crowded
with coeds choosing cheeked"
ginghams, flowered: seersuckers,
striped chambrays or plain per
-cales which they will wear. cas
ually and comfortably to classes.
Styles range from 'little-girl
dresses with rounded collars and
full skirts to severely-tailored"
.sports dresses. Colors range
from pretty pinks to violent
greens and stop at all. points in
between.
On cool .days the, inevitable
skirts and sweaters reappear.
Plaid• pastel skirts with- light
sweaters are good, as are tail
ored blouses. Sometimes a
sports jacket is added to make
a suit. .
For picnics , slacks or shorts
are best because they wrinkle
and absorb mustard with more
finesse than most dresses. A
possible, compromise is the three
piece . outfit—shirt; slacks, and
skirt.
Saddle shoes—mellowed but
not run-down—with ankle socks
matching your outfit are recom
mended. Occasionally, how
ever, it is wise to smooth up a
bit and wear spectators and
stockings_ (unless, of course,
your legs are well tanned.)
Alpha Chi Omega will enter
tain Alpha Tau Omega at a cof
fee hour at 7. o'clock tonight.

The hue's the thing this
spring for suits and informal
date" dresses. Very bright shades
however, are slightly amiss, for
the most popular- suits are those
in pastel plaids with all-around

Smartest- thing about them is
the opportunity- they afford to

- Speaking of suits, chiffon or
washable silk blouses, especial
ly long-sleeved ones in delicate
colors, are right pert with suits
and doubly attractive because
they are both dainty and cool.
Ifs suits don't strike -your
maidenly fancy, try a summer
print in cotton or silk jersey
with a coat or jacket for cool
- evenings. Dresses with short
matching jackets are quite the
rage these days.
Pinafore jumpers ar less ob
vious this Spring than last sea
son but still demure enough. to
remain popular until last sum
mer's model wears out. . •
Toeless spectators are selling
more rapidly now than shoes
with toes. But toes or no toes,
'spectators rule the foot world
from March 'to October and
back- again.
Baird Deferment :
(Continued• from rage One)*
ing from the loss of both men.
Dean A. R. Warnock explain
ed the administration's predica
ment last night. "It is not like
ly that the College can draw the
line on a few individuals as in
dispensable to College govern
ment," he said. "Only men ne
cessary to College defense are
recommended."
In recognizing the problem,
the Cabinet decided to confine
its appeal only to the case of
Baird and Doherty. If both
men are drafted, the senior
class president will assume the
chairmanship, not presidency,
of the Cabinet, according to a
Constitutional provision.
Baird alMost escaped the
draft when he was slated to en
ter the Marine Reserve but was
rejected in the final application
because he was too old.

Complex Labels
Stymie Consumer
- Trie era of price tags has pass
ed into nothingness and with its
passing comes the introduction
of the Complex label denoting
fabric construction, composition,
finishing process, and dyes. Con
sumers, faced with the task of
interpreting the manufacturers'
mystic symbols, are stymied.
• Crease resistant finishes _are
titled Tebelized, Vitalized, T.8.L.,
or Broadhurst and Lee; fabrics
especially treated to resist mois
ture may be found under such
names as Aqua-sec, Neva-wet,
Impregnole, or Zelan.
Pre-shrunk .labelling does not
mean necessarily that material
will not shrink but only that
some of the shrinking has been
removed. Percentage of residual
shrinkage is required on fabrics
• thus. labelled. Texurity and
London shrunk pertain to pre
shrunk woolens while cottons are
Sanforized, Wata:set, or Appon
ized.
Silks must be marked for the
amount of weighting or added
chetnical material and can not be
titled pure silk, pure dye, 'or un
weighted if they contain more
than 10 per cent of added ma
terial. The Federal. Trade. Com
mission has also, made numerous
other rules about the labelling of
silk to prevent the former unfair
practices• of . manufacturers on. •
unsuspecting consumers.
