Compacts Fast A
Simi1ar To Fi
By PENELOPE PATTERRSON
There's always something new un-
der the sun when it comes to com-
pacts. Each year they become less
of a utility and more of a work of
art.
There are compacts for every occa-
sion. For those glamorous nights
look at those white enameled com-
pacts, covered with gold leaves, whose
stems, and veins are delicately col-
ored lines. Then there is a black
enamel compact with a sparkling i
friezework of rhinestones for other
festive occasions. The peacock, sym-
bolizing vanity, most appropriately
spreads its multi-colored tail over
the surface of another dull gold van-
ity. The peacock is hand painted and
on its tail are many tiny dots of glow-
ing color.
Initials In Center
A dull metal-gray compact with
small gold initials in the center is
more conservative and will go with
every color and ensemble.
In keeping with the bustle and
Victorian motif are the round fluted
snuffbox vanities. A small black one
with tiny painted flowers on the
edge seemed to represent all the
glory and prudery of the Victorian
age. These snuffboxes come in all

Influence To Footwear
With Indian moccasins and Dutch
shoes at the height of their popular-
ity, there seems to be a foreign in-
fluence in sport shoes for Spring.
The moccasins may be two-toned
in shades of brown and white or they'
may be in plain buck or white. The
Dutch styles are complete even to
the wooden sole and pointed toe.
They are made in an orangish smooth
leather and have seamless toes.
A flat shoe with heavy crepe sole
which shows the influence of the
Dutch style is made of the same
leather, but ties with a leather thong
by way of variety.
Brown and white are perennial
Spring favorites, and the combina-
tion is shown in an almost all white
model with a brown seam up the cen-
ter of the square toe.
New saddle shoes can never be
shoved from first place on the calen-
dar of campus footwear big-wigs. The
fad arrived on this campus some
three years ago and has proved the
most tenacious of fashions. Second
only to the skirt and sweater as part
of the campus uniform, the saddle
shoe spread from purely women's use
to men's also.

The spring off 1940 is especially a
period of old-fashioned demureness
and coquetry. In fact, along with
full skirts, tiny waists and the round-
ed hip, comes an old-time muslin
petticoat. Right out in plain sight,
too. The muslin touch is used most
effectively in the current "little-girl"
dresses, with their short, billowy
skirts and pinched-in middles. Vogue
shows one in black moir6 and anoth-
er in blue alpaca, each equipped with
good, old-time muslin underwear.
High-style dinner dresses find the
starched petticoat useful for making
a full skirt stick out like the hoop
skirt of the 1860's. One, like a
daguerreotype of two generations
ago, is made of surah and green
faille. The enormous skirt conceals
underneath it a starched and em-
broidered "petticoat."
At the Paris Openings, some de-
signers even went so far as to display
18 inches of muslin ruffles beneath
a black crepe dinner gown. The ink-
black tunic ended just below the
knees, as a regular street dress. Un-
der that billowed forth a foot and a
half of embroidered ruffles. Amag-
ing, isnt it?

But, to get out of the exotic, and
into the less whimsical styles more
suited for wear in Ann Arbor, the
two most attractive slips of the sea-
son are the camisole-top petticoat
and the taffeta slip. The former is
designed for wear under the ultra-
sheer blouses which are making such
a spectacular comeback this year.
Various dainty materials ranging
from diaphanous chiffon to fine lawn
and muslin are used to make the
little tucked and gathered tops. Flut-
ing, embroider, and baby ruffles all
play their part. These same slips
often have a big ruffle at the hem-
line with ribbons in pale colors run
through it.
Heavy taffeta petticoats for that
long-forgotten sound of rustling
skirts is advocated by style experts.
In clear pastels, plaids or prints they
finish up many a costume with the
right elegance.
Oddly enough, it used to be a dis-
grace to have a slip show beneath
one's skirt. The scathing term
"P.H.D." (Petticoat hangin' down)
was the most cutting of all remarks.
Now the comment shows only ignor-
ance on the part of the commentator.

Now there is a solution for all those
persons who inevitably leave their
compact some place. The solution is
a flat envelope-shaped compact with
the owner's name and address in her
own handwriting on the cover, and
a three cent stanp on the right-hand
edge.
Glass compacts are new this year,
and the one that combines cigarettes
with powder, lipstick and comb ought
to simplify the cigarette-compact
problem. To suit various tastes and
interests, there is a vaiity case with
a roulette wheel and a ball under the
transparent lid. For those who yearn
to travel, there is a compact made up
as a traveling bag with hotel stickers
on it, and a catch like the handle
of a bag.,

girl innocence or a ra!he r high-
strung patrician arrogance.I
Some very attractive models are
shown in Vogue this month -- in
fresh new spring colors and mate-
rials. There is a scarlet wool redin-
gote bordered with black wool and
cut with a deceivingly simple flared
silhouette - actually it is cut witfi
great intricacy. A scarlet dress is
worn beneath.
There is another luscious model of
delphinium over a tailored pink
dress of men's skirting. The coat has,
wide shield-like revers. An arrogant
outfit is of grey flanel, as elegantly
fitted as an evening dress. Curved
seams hold in the flare at the waist
and it is worn over a striped skirt-
ing dress.

TI, new wools come nubbed, plaid-
ed, (heked or plain in a variety of
(-olois and \V~ghls suitable for both
umiC dwrs ker and tailored types of
spring suls.
Pebbly rep, crinkle, curly and
forsuan t- w'd are used for dressy
coat-, suits and redingotes, while
boucle w -aves appear in everything
from dresses to coats. Line-weave
worsteds aie ideal for dressy casual
coats and suits. Diagonal and fancy
oolens are especially good fo.
spectator coats.
Ca me1s Iir Is Popular
Soft, flecry camels hair and lustre
wool are made into many varieties of
spring suits and coats. This material,
dyed in pastel shades, is often com.-
bined with light furs for early spring
wear. Camels hair is always good-
for sports, campus and dress occa-
sions.
Whip cord and wool gabardine, in
the smoothr fabrics, are ideal for
campus coats. Not only do these ma-
terials wear well, but they stay in
press forever. Herringbone and
men's suiting matrials are also very
good.
Soft ribbed woolens and wool crepe
appear in some of the light dress
coats and spring ensembles. Open
weave and mesh woolens are soft and
lacy and in a variety of shades. They
are used chiefly in ensembles.
Twill weaves have come out in many
new twists. Since they are hard-
surfaced, they give a molded effect
when used for fitted suits and carry
out the flattering effect in swagger
coats. There is also a revival of old-
fashioned fabrics in the new twills.
Serge Is Favorite
Flknnel, oxford cloth and serge
are perennial favorites for the light
weight suit, and tweeds appear in all
varieties for every purpose.
Revolutionary and entirely new
materials for women's clothing are
being fashioned by scientists em-
illoyd by many of the foremost man-
ufacturers. They;e materials, it is re-
ported, will be made from such mate-
rials as coal and ice, and will, if pres-
cut plans work out, be more durable
and at the same time fore beautiful
than anything yet attempted.
Non-crushable, water-resistant ma-,
terials have gained a foremost place
in the materials demanded by Ameri-
;an women for their spring clothes.
The active life led by women, in busi-
ness, in the sports world, and on the
campus, makes these more service-
able materials practically a necessity.
