Hrowni Is Popuflar Shade For Clothes For Spring Season Has anyone been under the mis- taken impression that brown is dis- appe4ring from the scene these days? If anyone does feel that way, may we announce that they are very, very much mistaken. Brown is with us to stay, for by past performances it has proved its suitability for summer wear as well as for more wintry clothes. Brown combined with white seems for some reason or other to be quite as cool a combination as can be found in any of the pastel shades. We are all familiar with the brown and white shoe, primarily for sports wear which has maintained its popularity, but now we have brown coming to the fore in many other kinds of accessor- ies as well as in frocks. Linen Blouses Shown The brown linen blouse which has been worn with the spring suit may be combined for summer wear with the white linen outfit. The solid color blouse is perhaps the smartest, but there are prints in linen and in or- gandy which are very good. Street costumes combining brown and white are especially popular and the somewhat dressy suit for after- noon as well as the street has taken brown for its very own shade. Such costumes may be seen in printed chiffon, either a white figure in a brown background or a pale yellow or green note. Taffeta too is used for these suits and one es- pecially attractive outfit combined an all brown crepe dress with a brown and white taffeta coat. Brown For Evening! Even evening gowns are going all brown; brown net and mousseline de soie are appearing in great quantities made up in all sorts o fluttery femi- nine styles. A sort of reddish brown shade seems to be the most popular for evening and proves very becom- ing to spr-ing[,tn. A charming tennis dress recently seen on the courts at Palmer Field was of a brown and white gingham check, made with a low back and with larg'e wite buttons fastening it on the thoulder,. Speaking of sports we hear thai the all brown bathing suit will be a featu-e of the beaches, and the very betstbeach.les, too, this summer.

Plans For Meet With W-1 ?- ' V1 a h estA p p "The creation of the Freshman Project Committee with the objec- tives set up for it, I consider to be the most important contribution to the development of educational fa- cilities for the Michigan women that has been made in many years." This was the written statement made by President Alexander G. Ruthven in reference to the plan recently formed by the League Council to extend the opportunities of freshman orientation throughout the first semester. . The plan which has been outlined will place a group of five members of the faculty at- the head of the com-! mittee which will advise the presi- dent of the League and the 20 stu- dents in charge of the 20 freshman groups. Regular weekly meetings with the groups, extending through- out the first semester, will be held to acquaint the students with the op- portunities of the University, to help them with problems of curricula, and to help determine the student atti- tude which will be maintained dur- ing the four years here. Dean Alice Lloyd, upon being asked about the plan, said that it met with her "heartiest approval." Professor Henry C. Anderson expressed his sat- isfaction with the plan, when he said, "f regard the new freshman project as one of the real forward steps in the education of the students. It has my absolute sanction."I Supplementing the direction and assistance of the student advisers, members of the faculty will assist by giving regular weekly talks on es- sential features of the university. tnian Project royal Of Faculty Typical of the topics that they will discuss will be the arts and social sci- ences, and suggestions on social rela- tionships. 1and CO(et Will A tractSoeal S e t Society leaders from Ann Arbor, Detroit, and suburbs are actively in- terested in the Varsity Band con- cert benefiting the Starr Common- wealth for Boys, to be given at 8:15 p.m. Sunday in the Naval Armory, Detroit..

Smart folks will not put this important item until the last of next week, for a gift should arrive on time! * *: *: Like Gad-About, you probably want something for your mother that is personal and yet different. The selection in that case should include the Elizabeth Arden Bath Mitts from The Quarry Iqc. A box, costing what you will prefer to pay, contains enough of these luxurious sponge mitts, saturated with al- mond soap to last a half year, and one needs no soap, salts or soft- ener when they are used. Isn't it time these mothers had a rest frcom th non-committals of hum- drum life? After all, rompers days are over for us, and it's time we started providing those little items that make living so much more en- joyable and even a little gay and giddy. This is in the nature of a menon, so forgive but don't for- This business of "Saying It With Flow- ers" isn't so prosaic af- ter all, for there is. so much one's mother can read between the blos- soms on hei' day. We believe it particularly when the flowers have the appeal of those at Schegel's Florists. They offer telegraph service and mailing service if your order is in soon enough. And after all, it is spring and a gift of flowers is the offering which is adored by any woman, they mean so much and mean it in the most thoughtful of manners. W d mhc* What dnin Votr mnthpr'e rmm- signs of blue and white with navy- ish covers. They are sure to give mother's day and invigorating touch and are so very useful! This well known cosmetic array in- cludes bulk perfumes, of Houbi- gant, Chanel, and Coty. If scents are your preference for a gift, why not consult the Calkins-Fletcher expert as to the appropriate choice for a gift? * * * So that your mother will be proud of you when you do the town up together during Mother's Week- end, we suggest a visit to the Elizabeth Dillon Shop. The person who means so much to you can't help but appreciate these printed crepes and chif- fons for campus and Sun- day occasions. They are the kind of frocks that go places and do it with the right degree of dash, col- oring and comfort. Worn with dark accessories on gloomy days and with white on sunny days, they are turning the town print mad. And wi ith the conservative prices, one can give way to that well dressed desire. * * * We dashed right back from Ja- cobson's and ,ut aside our moth- er's day theme in our enthusiasm over the "Bolero" sandals which they are showing in black and brown with white. The same toe- less and heelless exuberance in which they succeed so splendidly can be obtained in different tints to match your campus fi'ocks. And it's beyond power of words to por- tray the sophisticate touch they give you. Smart Floridans and New Yorkers have simply gone "Bolero," you know, and a1 campus town mustn't be be- hind the times. Cool Off Dine where it's cool . . . where the menus feature meals that make dining a delight, even in this weather. *Let the Main Dining Room of the Michigan League prepare you for the week-end festivities . . . cool, comfortable and quiet. 0 The League will be serving from now on: Luncheon at thirty, fifty and sixty cents . . . dinner at fifty- five, seventy-five, and eighty-five cents.
