Of acquamarine crepe, it was trimmed with brown flowers, and clippers of the same shade of brown completed the costume. Betty Cooper wore a charming gown of skipper blue crepe embel- lished with rhinestone shoulder straps. Betty Aigler chose peach as the color for her gown. A dark shade of velvet was the fabric of Margaret Anna's long-sleeved formal. F r a n c e s c a Schrauder was striking in emerald green set off by a gold sash and flowers. Rae Mann and Kathleen Carpenter, the former in maroon and the latter in black shot with gold, were outstanding. Marie Abbott wore a simple but unusually clever combination of the ever-popular black and red to the Alpha Delta Phi dinner dance. The skirt was black and the tunic top red with intricate gold stitching on the collar. Josephine Cavanaugh attended the same party gowned smartly in light blue crinkle crepe and Mar- garet Mustard wore distinguished black with silver sequins. Marian Pat- erson in pastel crepe and Betty Kay Jones in blue with a large red flower at the "V" of her decolletage were seen, as were Mary Neal and Virginia Smith. Transfers Eligible For W.A.A.
