Mortar Board Is Sponsoring YearlyAffair Appearance Of Sweaters And Skirts To Express KeynoteOf Informality Pay-Off, annual sweater and skirt - dance sponsored by Mortar Board, senior womens' honor society, will be held from 9 p.m. to l a.m. Friday, Feb. 23, in the League Ballroom. Informality is the keynote of the dance which is a women's invitational affair. All women on campus may at- tend The dance will be the third "Pay- Off." The idea was originated in 1938 to provide an opportunity for women to extend an invitation to their escorts. It was hoped at that time that the affair would become tradi- tional. Patricia Haislip, president of Mor- tar Board, is general chairman of the dance. Roberta Leete will direct publicity and Jean McKay is in charge of patrons. Ellen Redner is head of entertainment, and programs " will be under the direction of Mary Honecker. Alberta Wood will direct the ticket sale and the ballroom is under the charge of Beth O'Roke.. McKinney's Cotton .Pikers furn- ished the music for Pay-ff last year. An original jazz toe dance by Jeanne Burt, '40Ed., was an added entertainment feature. Jenny Pet- erson, '39, was general chairman of the dance. In addition to the wear- ing of sweaters and skirts to empha- size informality, vegetable corsages for the men were sold by Mortar Board preceding the dance. Jimmy Raschel and his' z;rchestra played for the dance the year before, the original "Pay-Off." Plans for the annual affair were made at a meeting of the honor soci- iety held Wednesday. Winter Sports Feature White Skating Outfit Now that finals and cold weather are making their debut together, an ideal form of relaxation from those long hours of studying is ice skating. And when you wear the stunning new creations for skating, your pleasure will be twice as great. For the woman who can be certain of remaining on her feet while skat- ing, the white corduroy outfit is very attractive. The jacket is double breasted with a reverse collar, the .only trimming being the brass but- tons. The knee-length skirt is lined with red. Floral designs on a white cotton quilted background is also very smart. In addition, the sleeves and neck are - trimmed with black velvet. The skirt for this outfit is black-the Jacket red. Another variation of this style is the floral design for the lin- ing, with red cotton quilting forming the outside of the jacket. Ski suits are still as chic and practical as ever, although they have been somewhat outshadowed by the - more striking skating skirt outfits. Two woolen outfits are especially at- tractive. The red one is very simple, trimmed merely with a black zipper fastening, and a black zipper pocket. A brown set had a lastex tri-colored -waistband, and buttons down the front, topped with a simple shirt collar. Similar outfits are to be found in gaberdine.

Naturally, only a compara- tively few of them can become de-1 signers. What then, you ask, are theI qualties that distinguish these few from the rest? Designer Termed 'Idea-Woman' The successful designer might be termed an "idea-woman." She must7 have a great deal of originality com- bined with the ability to look be- yond the accepted fashions of the day, for after all, it is her duty to keep the, styles from becoming static.. If the clothes shie originates are mere-- ly in keeping with the trends of the. present, she will soon lose her-market. It is a decided asset for the amateur who is seeking such a career to be able to draw. Her prospective em- ployer will invariably ask to see samples of her work, and it would be very cumbersome to have to carry around finished garments. The young designer must also be a seamstress. While she is in the lower-income class,. it is more than likely that she will have to drape and sew up her own brain-children. Large firms demand quick work on the part Rooms In New Dorm Will Be Ready Feb. 10 Applications for rooms in Stock- well Hall are still being accepted at the office of the Dean of Women. The new women's dormitory will be ready for occupancy Feb. 10, and all women will move into their rooms on that date. Many of the rooms are already complete with furniture and the others will be finished before the sec- ond semester begins. OPENING Saturday Afternoon Bridge at the Michigan League for Men and Women PIVOT and DUPLICATE 2 P.M. Fee: 25c MRS. JAMES J. SLATTERY Many manufacturers object to in- experienced designers because they refuse to "subjugate their art" and, realize the practical considerations which are necessary. It is excellent experience for the girl who wishes to become a designer to supplement her actual training with a period of ap- prenticeship in the form of selling. clothes. Here she is given ample op- portunity to discover what the people who will be her future customers wants to wear. This article should not be as dis- couraging as it may seem. If you are good, these obstacles will not hinder you in your progress. If they appear insurmountable to you, then it is en- tirely probable that designing should. not be your chosen field. Like all popular professions, design- ing is overcrowded. Once you have crashed its gates, however, opportuni- ties for advancement are infinite and the monetary proceeds are lucrative. 11 Hillel To Hold MeetingToda Speechs Will Be Giv' By Foundation Heads A luncheon sponsored by the Hi: Foundation will be held at 12:30 p today at the Union at which varic leaders of the Foundation will deli short talks.
