Budget-wise planners can in fact, with a little imagination plan a complete wardrobe around ona basic dress. It!s for spring, so make it heavy blue or black, a slim, simple style, collarless, with little or no sleeves: For special evening wear a dress of this type lends itself to a bouffant lace overskirt,. either of white or taffy, lilac, chartreuse or melon—new costume colors tivs season. Pastel organdies, dot „ted swiss, nets and eyelet-em fbrqidered fabrics also give a gossamer effect when draped over dark colors. Peplum For Slim Hips A 'sprightly peplum is becom ing to the slim-of-hips, giving the same widening impression as the overskirt,, in slightly, abbreviated form. The combination of checked taffeta and solid color is - one to catch the eye. Taffeta drapes beautifully and may be fashion ed into a side apron, which slips aside and reveals the skirt of the dress when one walks. Large sashes in brilliant accent colors—tangerine, lime, purple and yellow—give dash to a cos tume and emphasize a whittled waist. The coed throws the, sash around her shoulders and 'there is a stole—the fifth way to add life to her basic dress. Sheath Dress Nppears The little sheath dress appears on the street dressed up with crisp white collar and cuffs—the bandbox look. And tucked in at the neck or pinned to the belt are clusters of artificial flowers. When designers have featured the same silhouette for several seasons running they must devise certain variations so that each season's- collectidns will have a distinctive feelirj.g.

Could be it's a preview of full skirts-td-come. possibly in the fall of 1951. Father Officiates At Son's Wedding The Rev. D. H.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Views News * * * Stylish Men Wear Clothes? By PAUL BEIGHLEY Despite'rumors to the contrary, in the spring a young man's fancy turns to tee shirts and baggy pants; In fact, budget-wise males can, with a little imagination, plan. a complete wardrobe around one basic tee shirt. Let the co-eds keep their con trasting apron, peplum, (sounds like something they feed babies) or stole. Fashion-minded males go for mud brown'or a tattle tale grey tee shirt anytime. For special evening dress, a pair of dirty white bucks is the ticket. And trousers - crushed un der a mattress overnight gives the male that well used look. The trousers can be any color except white, taffy, lilac, chartreuse, or melon. One way to make the trousers look especially raunchy is to sprinkle them liberally. with' cement ditst. This 'gives them a somewhat filmy gossamer look. Roll Trousers To Knees One of the many effective vari ations which makes people gape and say -"check that" is roh:ng up the trousers to the knees. It will' prove even more effective if the knees are bony. For that athletic look many males prefer the whittled waist. This provides a drape shape, and looks very good if the trousers are three or four- sizes too big. This arrangement calls for sus penders of strawberry, cherry, or ange, lemon, or lime.' And some times - raspberry, tangerine, or grapefruit. Something the girls rave about is a - split-necked tee shirt. Most , men prefer making their own. This •is done by taking any tee shirt and ripping it down the front. Some people refer to this tee shirt as "putrid," or "sicken ing." They say that "only a slob berated boob would wear that." They are wrong. There is little to say for the male silhouette this spring. It is sufficient to say that it should be slouched over and tired look ing. For males this spring its that.
