Fresh, cool green lar. The "ivy" look been interpreted signers, with vine traced onto the su Deep forest-green 1, to set off the fragi tercups or daisies i rite patterns. But the flowere dresses call for careful planni g of acces sories. The smart t ing to do is pick a color and w rk around it. Gloves, hats and s oes come in all colors these da s, and when chosen with care c n effectively complement a flor I print dress. Even stockings are selected with an eye toward playing up the color of the dress. Pink stock ings are perfect for summer—they make a tan look even more golden brown. Other pastel shades too are good, but the deeper hues of hose are better left for fall and winter. For the girl who likes her dresses in a solid color, the bright, flowered accessories are just the thing. , The flower wreathed hat is in style now. Particularly attractive are the straw sailors with bright blue c or nflo wers crowning their brims. A new look in summer dresses this season is brown—all shades. Brown and white checks are a good combination for work dress es and for shopping in the big city. Even raincoats are being shown in new and different brown prints. Some of these can be worn just as well on cool sunny days, since they don't look a bit like rainwear. And then there's the old standby: summer white. There's nothing like it to show up a tan. Sporadic bursts of color to high light a white outfit can be pro vided by lots and lots of jewelry —plastic bracelets do the job. A beautiful contrast with the white is a loud, clear red. Try a red parasol with matching red shoes with an icy -cool white dress. It's the new "hot and cold" sum mer look. Sit-Ups Pass .Out Of Fashion Sit-ups in the early morning and again before bedtime may be on the way out. Recent medical opinion has it that the motion that exercise makes for health is pretty much myth. It can, of course, strength. en flabby muscles. into firm ones. But it won't directly build resistance to disease; build up blood or lengthen anyone's life span. The main value of exercise ap pears to be that by putting mus cles in condition it creates a feel ing of healthiness. This being the case, there's no real reason for making exercise a chore instead of fun. By playing just for play, the benefits will be increased. You'll work off the cobwebs gathered in class or in the library. Most doctors agree that walk ing is about the best condition er there is. (That being the case, most coeds should be in excel lent condition.) Another easy starter is golf. Or swimming. Let the WRA aquacade be your inspiration, and push off. Happy as it seems, even social dancing is good exercise. So give up on those out-moded calis thenics and head for the tennis court, golf course or dance floor and get set to do two things at once—and having fun doing them. .4, • - , Prints Blossom Summer Patterns tern is especially evident in summer dresses.

It shows which part of India she is from, her marital status and ap proximate age. A woman from Northern In dia drapes her sari with full ness in the front, while a wo man from Southern India drapes it with fullness in the back. U.S. Fashions, Girls Attract Mobs at Fair BRUSSELS, Belgium (rP)—The United States' slick, subtle, and slightly sexy show by Friday night was the biggest attraction at the 1958 World's Fair. The crowd became so excited at one point during the giriy girly fashion parade that a Bel gian guard crashed through a plate glass window. He was hurried to a hospital. The American exhibit was defi nitely outpulling the Russian. Fair officials said 169,000 had bought tickets for Thursday's in augural opening. Of these, nearly 60,000 visited the colorful Ameri can pavilion, by American count. Doing business across the street, the Russians declined to give at tendance figures. Unofficial checks showed consistently larger crowds at the 'U.S. extravaganza. But the fair has six months to run, and The crowds could turn in the other direction. The American and Russian shows—sitting side by side—are frankly bidding for patronage. Admission is free at both pavil -1 ions. The Russians and Americans sought to point up the advantages and accomplishments of their re spective ways of life. Many indi viduals recorded their impres sions in a trio of guest books at the Russian show. The Americans have no guest books, but the pushing and shoving to view the fashion shows with live and shapely models was vigorous. Wolf whistles filled the lofty circular pavilion, especially at the brief bathing suits. Food was in demand wherever it was served. The crush ap peared to be greatest for borsch at the Russian exhibit and hot dogs at the American. sThis year's sun glasses have borrowed the shape of under water goggles. •If you yearn for sun-streaked hair, you can now get a streak stick the color of gold and run it along a lock for a temporary ef fect. It disappears with brushing. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Fit is no problem with a sari, as the material is draped to fit the body. Joanna Appiah, junior in home economics from Affiduase, Ghana, said that the native costume of her country was originated to fit the climate which is either hot and dry or hot and wet. Cotton is the material most commonly used. The large variety of fabrics are hand-woven in traditional de signs. The prints come from leaves, animals and other objects in nature. Men wear similar fab rics but in darker colors. The Ghana costume consists of three pieces: blouse, wrap-around skirt and an over-skirt. The over skirt may be wrapped in any fashion. The Chinese dress was com pared to the modern sheath dress by Marian Wang, graduate stu dent in nutrition from Shanghai, China. The sheath dress has a mandarin collar, slits on both sides of the skirt and a zipper on the right side of the dress. There is one pattern for The Chinese dress, and style changes are made by changing the size of the collar, sleeves or side slits. The fashion center of Chi na is Hong Kong and the tailors of social leaders set the fash ions. The formal dress of a Chinese woman is similar to the daily', dress except that it is longer. The formal dress may be made of bet ter material and have trimming such as embroidered plum blos soms, the national flower of China. Lisa Antonaki, senior in home economics from Athens, Greece, said that the national costume of Greece is an imitation of the cos tume worn by the first queen. The women of modern Greece wear clothing similar to that worn in the United States. Miller-Lueders Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Miller of Martinsburg, W. Va., have an nounced the engagement of their daughter Margery to Mr. Gene Lueders, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert D. Lueders of Waterford, Va. Both Mr. Lueders and Miss Mil ler will,be graduated from the University in June. No date has been set for the wedding. Hobe-Eddy Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Tfobe of Pittsburgh have announced the engagement of their daughter Elizabeth to the Rev. John Paul Eddy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Eddy of Howard Lake, Minne sota. Miss Hobe is a senior in home economics. Mr. Eddy is program director of the Wesley Founda tion at the University. A May wedding is planned. engagemenb 4V/d.4 Spring Madness Comes to Campus chrstin. It's really spring! I know it is, because I heard a coed comment "Of course I love him—but I can't go around marrying every boy I'm in love with!" And that's not the only bit of muddle-mindedness for the season. Bonnets are beginning to look more and more Smiles Shift Shape, Size With Styles Ever since Mona Lisa's day the spotlight has been on the smile. A generation ago, The flap per's mouth was a sultry Cu pid's bow, like Clara Bow's. This gave way to the sweeter, softer shape of Greta Garbo's. And during the late Thirties millions Of women copied Joan Crawford 's big plum-dark mouth. • These shapes weren't always copied consciously. It was more a matter of gradual, minor-chan ges. The lower lip became a bit fuller, the mouth a little wider, and no one realized that the shape of her mouth had become contem porary. Even changing, colors marked the eras. Now the trend is away from pink toward orange and orange with a pink tone. Lip stick is treated with royal jelly, vitamins, and lanolin, all with an eye to making it more fun to be beautiful. Today, Mona Lisa's secret, un nerving smile is no longer in vogue. It's been replaced by a wider mouth with the corners up turned like tiny uptitled triangles. Fashion-conscious lasses might re member that Oscar Wilde once said: "A beautiful woman is more beautiful in fashion than out of it." *Summer bangles are of gold, metal, or gay plastic.

Po as if they had been created by a genuine Mad Hatter. Some of tha wilder ones cover not only the head but also the hair. These wig like lids are concocted from vari hued blossoms and flowers that cover all but a few stray locks. Speaking of hair, gals can now buy budget wigs and so change the color and style of their hair as easily and frequently as don ning a new dress. As if that weren't enough. Paris has come up with something even more startling. It's a pony-tail hat, made of velvet. The cup-shaped chapeau is topped with a long tail of feathers that whisks out from the crown. Go ahead, girls; moth er isn't here to lift a startled eye brow. Other more discouraging news comes from Paris, showing that it's not all bubbles and gaiety. The City Council there ordered Marlene Dietrich's legs covered up on all subway posters. The posters were advertising a movie, and, as the AP reported decorous ly, "showed most of her legs." Wonder what the council would think about our new ruling allow ing Bermudas in dining halls dur ing final exams? If you're heading for Whipple's (and who isn't?) and have lots of courage, wear shorts and shirt of two very gay, different prints of harmonizing colors. Then add a floppy straw beach hat in orange, yellow, pink or natural. Follow this formula, and you won't go unnoticed! Warm Days Mean Arrival of Shorts Warm weather will see the end of the objections—by men— to women's attire. Gone is the che mise and in its place is that favor ite of most men—the short short. Everywhere, on campus or in town, there will be legs galore. Spring will see not one, but three styles of shorts: the burmuda, the jamaica and the walking short. Colors will sparkle, but white will set the pace. Longer playclothes will range from one extreme to the other— either skin tight or loose to the point of being baggy. The latest thing along this line is Turkish bloomers. olashion apparently is trying to turn back time by reviving flow ery cotton or silk parasols. , Secretarial Coaching for C. it y .
