Faskion Queens
By KATE EBERT
This month has really Ijeen
study in contrasts. Right in the
midst of snow storms our Fasliiou
Queens are beginning to plan their
spring wardrobes. The Phi AIu
fashion show gave us a preview o;
the “new look” in summer clothes
While winter winds whistled at the
windows, Arlene Palmer modeled a
two-piece bathing suit of heaven
pink. The bodice had a draw string
which could be adjusted to suit the
wearer. A dainty ruffle was adder
to the front of the skirt to empha
size femininity even while in the
swimming pool.
The perfect travel suit for sum
mer was worn by Marilyn Riggers
The short jacket was made of
black linen, while the skirt was
made of black and white stripe
seersucker. This is one suit that
won’t show wrinkles even after
bus trip . . . Linen is really going to
be THE material for this summer.
Betty Norris found a black linen
sun back dress with a- plaid jacket
of white, black, gold and royal. The
little jacket made the dress equally
appropriate for the main street or
an afternoon at the beach . . . Mable
Ruth Mundy wore a dress of trub’
nine lives. It was a cotton ])rint
calico consisting of a tailored shirt
and a ballerina skirt of green cot
ton shantung. The skirt had the new-
high waistband and at the hemline
an old fashioned petticoat peeped
out which matched the skirt. With
a quick pull on the zipper, the top
skirt can be removed revealing a full
length dress. The shirt can also be
worn separately with shorts or
slacks ... . As always evening dresses
hold the spot light. Frances Scar-
ratt wore a sophisticated dress of
black lace and satin. Heavy pink
satin was hidden under wide bands
of l)lack lace at the neckline and on
the skirt ... A ballerina dress of
green marquisette gave Lee
sage
Draughon a captivating air. The
dress was lined with pale pink and
worn over a dark green taffeta slip.
A crinoline petticoat gave it added
fullness. . . . Dorothy Kibler found
a variation in a ballerina dress. Hers
was made of a bold black, purple
and lavender plaid. The strapless
bodice fitted snugly into the waist
where the skirt burst into full un
pressed pleats. A stole was added
for those who want the covered up
look. . . . Marion Christopher wore
a regal dress of dramatic black and
pink chiffon. This one shoulder
dress had a very narrow skirt which
was draped to one side to give free
dom in walking. For trim a huge
rose was used on the shoulder.
Doris MacDougall wore a two-piece
linen dress in a combination of gray
and pink. The old fashioned jacket,
short in front and sloping in the
back, was worn over a whirling non-
crushable skirt. Doris also wore an
afternoon dress of peacock green
pure dye silk shantung with a double
peplum cut to a V in the front and
back. For trim a print silk scarf
of blending colors was added.
The “must” of a summer wardrobe
was worn by Jackie English. It
was the indispensable white suit.
This one was of white Pacific wool
with a form fitting jacket cut with
surplice neckline. It was cut on a
diagonal line so as to fasten under
the arm. The skirt was pencil slim,
split in front. For added interest
she tossed a bright red topper
around her shoulders.
The time is rapidly approaching
to get down the ironing boards and
jegin the last minute preparations
or the dance. See you at the Mardi
Look pretty!

Listen, you darling of some love
sick heart, bend forth your littl

mighty years—shall drop forth a
delicate pearl of wisdom. (Yes.

Love, a factor that no heart should

some special member of the oppo
site sex, that certain somebody who
sets your heart on fire, that glorious

someone who fills your soul with
ambition; uh-huh, that’s who we
mean. (You are going to die even
tually anyway.)
Now, there are some fine people
who surely must overtax their
heart’s capacity; for they seem to
love every member of the opposite
sex devoutly and devotedly. But
that is too much to expect of any
one—well, isn’t it?
And then there is the other type,
the opposite extreme, the person
who is convinced of the full power
of love, and the atomic bomb. So
these good people guard their love
jealously, scattering only a few
grains of it into the world; why, if
an atomic bomb could blow up
Hiroshima, just think what a grain
of love could do. (Atomic energy
has been harnessed, but what can
you do about love?) Nevertheless,
no town should be without it.
So, you see, even if it is just two
days before Vaalentine’s, it is hard
to confine the subject of love to
sweethearts. It is too important a
subject for that; we are living in a
day when the planet earth is sick
for the nourishment of human kind
ness, and love should be public
property instead of restricted by
a No Trespassing” sign. Today, sex
has become one of the most over
worked motives of love, which
should amount to much more than
an infatuation for some member
of the opposite sex
Saint Valentine had the right idea
about it, you know Valentine’s was
not originally meant to be a day
for lovers. On the contrary, when
Valentine was sentenced to prison,
he sent messages of love to his
friends everywhere. It was such a
splendid idea that his friends also
adopted it and decided to set aside
a special day to send reminders to
friends to say that they loved them
and were thinking of them.
We leave much to be taken for
granted; we forget to say thanks;
we take favors as a matter of course
when just a smile can sometimes
say more than a thousand words.
So when you see old acquaintances
take time to smile, say a kind word;
it takes very little effort and means
more than you know.
If everyone Would take time to
show- a little more love for his fel-
lowman, this would be a much more
pleasant and better world to live in,
wouldn’t it? Give love, no world
should be without it.
