Girls Enter Vogue Contest Several original and ambitious Queens students are taking advan tage of Vogue’s Prix De Paris, which is a career contest for senior college women. This is the sixth successive year that the editors of Vogue, the popular fashion magazine, have held this competition for members of the graduating class of recognized United States colleges and universities. The papers will be graded on clearness and vividness of writing, originality of ideas, fashion knowl edge derived from a study of Vogue, and on general information. The first prize to be awarded is a year’s position on Vogue’s editorial staff. Second prize is a special Vanity Fair award—six months as a feature ^plter on Vogue’s staff. In addition, five cash prizes will be awarded for the best contest thesis which will be purchased for publication in Vogue. Honorable mentions will be awarded to contestants whose papers show unusual merit. These winners will be interviewed for jobs by lead ing stores, advertising agencies, and publishing houses. Vogue’s contest is a challenge and an outstanding opportunity for col lege seniors. The Queens girls who have undertaken the work outlined in the contest are Jean Ferguson, Ann Brannan, Mary Mason and Helen Duncan. They are diligently study ing Vogue in their attempt to rank high in the Prix De Paris. The competition offered by other colleges and universities is severe, and Queens would be proud to boast a winner in such a competition.

Well girls, after all our publicity of several weeks ago there ought to be some swelled heads . . . hope not! Most flattering probably was the FULL page in the Society section of The News. The article was head ed “College Girls Refuse to Desert Favorite Styles” with the sub-head ing, “Long Bobs, Saddle Shoes Cam pus Standbys.” Under this was a row of five beautiful heads of hair. t WHETHER YOU CALL IT HOLMES PHARMACY PARKMACE IT’S STILL THE LiniE STORE TO QUEENS 703 Providence Road Fashions for the HOLIDAYS EVENING GOWNS EVENING WRAPS ROBES LINGERIE HOSIERY FREE GIFT BOXES and WRAPPING LUCIELLE SHOPS with no faces shown which was a crime according to The News! The hair belonged to Ann Caldwell, ’44 pictur ing a page-boy bob; Frances Low- rance, ’41, typifying long hair end ing in neat curls; Cornelia Trues- dale, ’41, and her famous braided knot; and Frances Riddle, ’41, and Alice Clark, ’43, exemplifying casual loose curls. Directly beneath this was a picture of five beautiful (?) pairs of saddle-shod feet, all typi cally dirty (the shoes I mean!) These belonged to Mary Martha Nixon, Mary Payne, Patsy Niven, Jean Hester, and Ruth Wilkes. Miss Harriet Doar, society editor of The News, wrote a long article en titled “Queens Students Dress to Suit Their Own Crowd.” In it she said that we were dyed-in-the-wool conser vatives . . . that we give fads a whirl . . . that long bobs and sweaters ought to be one word . . . and that dirty white saddle shoes are still the campus favorites . . . but she also said that' we looked good enough to eat when we dress up With regard to our recent boycott on silk stocksings. Miss Doar writes an aside to Mr. Taylor Durham, “Don’t worry too much about the Queens girlcott on silk stockings; you won’t notice the difference.” How true is that? I’ve seen several pairs of cotton hose already! She claims that we, as well as the males, prefer “sweet” evening clothes to “slinky” ones. On the right of this article was a picture of Har riet Davis, Virginia Cothran, and Jean Ferguson in their favorite dresses ... all of them “sweet,” by the way. The third column of the page consisted of a picture taken in the “Y” store (in one of our new booths!) of Patsy Niven, Billie Har mon, who Miss Doar claims is an individualist because o'f her “maga zine-cover outfit of long bright wool socks, brown oxfords, red and green plaid skirts, and bright red jacket with long full sleeves.” Ann Cald well’s high rubber boots rate re marks and Doris Raley in a pina fore, the most lasting “fad*” of the year. The bottom picture showed Mary McDow, Martha Bran don, and Hilda Harmon, all dolled up in their “Sunday best,” Mary in a wine velveteen with a blue hat and accessories, Martha in mustard wool with black accessories, and Hilda in a beige wool shirtwaist with green buttons and pleated skirt. General conclusions drawn from the whole write-up are: favorite fads are pinafores and long sleeved sUk shirts . . . that “dress-up clothes are neater and sweeter than casual cam pus things, but they’re still tailored and comfortable” . . . and the out standing fact that “the girls pay lots more attention to the opinions of their friends than they do to the opinions of fashion experts. The fashion writers can type their fingers to the bone, and there won’t be a single pair less of dirty white saddle shoes padding across the Queens campus!” McAlister Carson Insurance Agency, Inc.
