bers of the administration. cause, oven in these distressful
days when the supply of every
thing seems to be infinitely great-,
er than th demand, we still find
that good taste is not a drug on
the market.
I stress this point particular
y, because we have found that
it is much more difficult to eradi
cate a second taste once it' is
formed than it is to impose a
correct standard on an untrain
ed mind. That is why I so often
take inexperienced girls on my
staff at least these girls have
nothing to uniearn.
That is what I should like to
see this Fashion Group become
a body of well equipped able crit
ics of the mode in all its phases.
Oddly enough there are thous
ands of well-known reporters of
fashion, but has any one ever
met an accredited fashion crit
ic ? And why shouldn't there be ?
Need for Critics
There are recognized critics of
all the other arts painting,
sculpture, literature, the stage
let a poor unfortunate artist,
writer, or actor put iorth an
unworthy offering and the press
is free to flay him at will but
for some reason or other (can
it be advertising) the great
fashion designers who consid
er themselves just as much art
ists as any other creators have
escaped all published criticism.
Either we speak well of them in
print or we do not speak at all.
Learri to trust your own judg
ment don't depend merely up
on labels. Just because some
body whose taste and knowledge
you believe in tell you a thing is
smart or right, don't be content
to let it go at that unless you,
yourself, can see why it is good.
We should train our eyes and our
judgment until we have suffici
ent discrimination to cnoose a
good thing wherever we find it
regardless of its label or its
price. In that way we can be
come real authorities in our own
right.
Acquaintance With Fashion
The best way to familiarize
with smart fashion is to have a
speaking acquaintance with it
or at least a bowing acquaint
ance. If you happen to have a
social position that Harings you
naturally into touch with people
of taste and places of fashion,
your role is much easier.'
If you haven't it, avail your
self of every opportunity to ob
serve the current mode correctly
worn. Lunch, occasionally, at a
fashionable restaurant, even if
you can't order anything but an
egg Florentine. Go to first night
at the theatre, go to the opera,
the races, the polo, study the
snap-shots of the mode.
; If you are in a position to do
it, try to get your firm to send
you to the fashionable resorts
Palm Beach, Newport, etc., and,
above every thing, get to France
as soon and as often as you can.
Once in Paris, you are at. the
source of the mode fashion is
born there and from there it
travels far and wide. Of course,
go to the openings and go with
a perfectly open mind don't
think that because a house has a
great name all its models are
bound to be good, and don't think
that a small house may not have
some good ones, too. Don't think
about labels think about facts.
Market Place of Mode
These openings form the most
intensive training ground in the
world for a student of fashion.
It is here that your powers of
observation and your critical
judgment can become sharpened
against the wet stone of a
thousand varying opinions. You
are in the market place of the
mode. Listen ! don't talk listen
observe think make notes
of everything you see written
notes, if you can. If not, mental
ones it is excellent practice.
Give yourself time to let your
own impulse crystalize. Don't
be carried away by the obvious
and the spectacular. Everybody
is sure to see that. It is the so
phisticated eye, the trained taste
that spots the subtly simple, the
elegant, the really smart dress at
the first glance. But remember
that that is the dress you love to
wear and the one thais likely to
outlive a dozen tricky little mod
els.
Try to be articulate about
fashion, but don't become artic
ulate before you have learned to
think beyond the stage that dis
misses everything with, one or
the other of our popular adjec-
tives divine or lousy !
Drawing Important
And in the fashion business,
whether or not you intend to be
come a designer or an artist, it
will be a tremendous asset to
you if you learn to draw even
if you can only draw well enough
to make croquis little rough
sketches these will be very val
uable no matter what branch of
fashion work you pursue, and,
if possible, develop the ability to
write. Learn to write . about
what you see with originality
with colour and with verity.
In short, if you can have the
sophisticated view-point of
woman of the smart world, the
sensitive perception of an art
ist, the clarity of thinking of a
Walter Liopmann, tne common
sense of a hard-boiled business
man, and the flawless taste of a
perfect lady you'll be an ace in
the fashion game.

Hapgood Returns to New York
E. G. Hapgood, general trav

fraternity, has returned to the
organization's central head
quarters in New York citv af
ter a three-days' stay with the
chapter here.
Well somebody did accept our
invitation to g6 spying with us
or rather, we- should say, "some
bodies," for two very well-known
'men - about - campus" went
along, and we had a merry, mer
ry time of it, spying at every.
hmg from tobacco pouches ties
and canes (please, who can tell
us why, in men's clothing stores
they always display canes, no
body ever carries 'em), to draw
shaves and razor blades. We
even stopped to ask the Texaco
man if he carries candles, but he
didn't. Here's something which
is worth knowing, though, he
does carry airplane oil.
Of course you've seen the big
dog in the window of the Univer.
sity Book and Stationery Store,
with a Carolina cap on his head,
a Carolina pillow-cover between
his feet, a Carolina pennant be
hind him, and, best of all, Kay
Kyser's record of Carolina's,
Hark the Sound of Jar Heel
Voices," on display around him.
Clever, we call it.

Now here's a question, take
your time before writing the
jiswer. Have you a colorful and
designing sole? That's the new
est in the line of footwear and
we saw it in the windows of the
Campus Bootery. The soles of
the shoes we saw are mottled
red and black and some of the
rubber-soled ones even have in
triguing designs made of rubber
like cleats. It'd be quite a
scheme to shoe-print everybody
on the campus, for then you
would be able to
track
down V
everybody

their
footprints

sands
of
Chapel Hill.
Tell us that- window display
doesn't allure or discourage. We
peered- through the windows of
the new Tar Heel Restaurant
and liked the looks of the cool,
green-painted room so much that
we went in and bought a cup of
coffee while we made further in
vestigation. Nice place they
have, clean as the proverbial
whistle, and man, what coffee!
The open kitchen next drew our
attention and we went back to
see how "Adam and Eve" were
put on a raft, then wrecked. We
watched them make up one of
their sure-to-be-famous Tar Heel
specials, too.
.
Some day we're going down
to the Fire House, borrow the
longest ladder -they have, and
take it up 'to R. A'.Eubanks Gro
cery Store, (the store next to the
Texaco Gas Station) , so that we
can peek in their window. We're
not so terribly tall and it's quite
high above our heads, but what
little we can see always looks so
interesting that we want to peer
more but alas, we never, can.
Just wait'll'we get that ladder,
though!
'
Mirabile dictu, (we bet you
don't know what that means),
they've arrived, and what a com
motion they're causing. What?
Why the new Ford eights, at
Strowd's. We've only one sup
pressed desire which we'll hasten
to tell you. It's that we'd l&e
to ride in one now that we've
seen them. Do you know any
body who might like to take us?
