Cottons And Li e s
Are Cool And Gay
In Warm. Weather
Hot weather seems to be here to
stay and with it has come a wave of
crisp, print linens and cottons for
campus wear. Everyone is thoroughly
sick of- the heavy traditional sweater-
skirt combination that is practically
a uniform for winter wear so that
all of the new, light-weight dresses
are even more tempting to the femi-
nineshopper.
Bright linen prints have again
taken first place for chic summer
wear and are being shown in un-
usually attractive designs. While
flowers are still prominent, the very
modern, abstract themes are infinite-
ly more smart. These are built around
basic designs drawn from nature or
are more geometrical in idea.
These linen prints are being shown
mainly with a- white background for

Sarah Pierce
To Wed"Soon
Marriage To David Dow
Is Planned For August
The engagement of Sarah Pierce,
'35, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy L.
Pierce of Washtenaw Ave., to David
Dow, '33, of New York City, son of
Prof. and Mrs. Earle W. Dow of
Thompson St.,'has been announced
by Miss Pierce's parents. The wed-
ding date is set for late in August.
Miss Pierce, who is now a member
of the faculty of the speech depart-
ment, received a master's degree here
in 1937. During her years here, she
was prominent in Play Production,
directed the Children's Theatre, and
had roles in other dramatic produc-
tions. She is a member of Delta Gam-
ma sorority.
Mr. Dow holds a bachelor's degree
which he received in 1933. He was
awarded the degree of juris doctor in
1936. He is a member of Phi Kappa
Sigma fraternity and Phi Beta Kap-
pa honor society. Mr. Dow is now
associated with. the firm of Cad-
walader, Wickersham and Taft in
New York.
a cooler effect and in two-piece
styles so that the skirts may be worn
with sheer sweaters or dimity blouses.
One such dress is of the shirt-waist
style with a row of tiny glass buttons
up the front. The skirt is simple with
kick pleats in both the front and
back.
Cotton prints, while not as dressy
as the linens, are much more prac-
ticable because they do not wrinkle
so easily. The necklines of the sea-
son are low cut and come in a variety
of styles so that the girl with long,
thin features will not have to shy
clear of the square neck models.
