1 'Thef Navy's In',
The promise of melting snow brings
with it the fading desire to ski and
toboggan, the hopeful look towards
canoing and tennis, and the inevi-
table wish for some enthusiastic
sports clothes.
Gone are the pink parasol and?
frothy dress combinations for a late
afternoon canoe party. Into the
wardrobe must go one servicable pair
of slacks that show the cooperative
spirit in working the boat up-stream.
Of gabardine are the latest ones, in
colors that rival chocolate creams to
make you look feminine and dainty,
despite the practicality of the gar-
ment.
Slacks Go Navy
Most noticeable of the new influ-
ence in slack combinations is the
navy craze, most suitable to these
trousered garments. Blouses have
gone back to grammar school days
with middie models to hang to the
hip, and navy-blue ties draped in a
loose knot at the throat. Emblems
adorn the sleeves of many of the
newer creations--emblems to take
mademoiselle through a whole season
of sailing or of picking shells at the
seashore.
Tennis dresses this season havei
taken on some of the form of the
new winter skating outfits-in lighterI
fabrics and softer colors they con-
tinue the tradition of the slim prin-
cess line with skirts flaring from
waist to just-above the-knee. As th'
wintry red flannels were madedt c
look "dressed" underneath a ziv- IPn
skirt, so the new sleekfitting shorts
undeoneath the tennis skirts will keep
you 'vll clothed during a l:n

Soft Shetland, Cashmere Yarns
Remain Classic Favorites; Red
Cross Gives Instruction
By JEAN GILMER,
Are you a knitter? Whether you
are experienced at the art or simply
a potential enthusiast, this article
is for you.
The Daily has received reports from
campuses all over the country about
the growing popularity of knitting.
Women are knitting everywhere for
themselves, for the Red, Cross, for
Bundles for Britain, and for the
countless other charities for war re-
lief.
The faculty of Wayne University
even considers it so important that
the gentle art has now achieved rec-
ognition and dignity as a new course
being offered to women this semes-
ter!
Don't Be Lazy!
Don't be lazy and say you don't
know how! Just hie yourself down
to the W.A.B. of a Saturday after-
noon and get some instruction from
our own Red Cross unit. They'll start
you on something simple like a child's
sweater. You can have it done in
no time at all, while having the satis-
faction of doing something really
worthwhile.
You'll soon find that knitting has
its decided advantages: you can keep
your hands busy while conversing, at-
tending meetings, or lectures, and will
soon get the habit of picking up your
work in any odd moments.
You may even join the past mas,
ters of the art who concentrate on a
book while their needles fly. Some
women have been known to drag out"
the knitting while.at the movies with
a date, but we don't advise this un-
less you know the man won't object
-or else you don't care what hel
thinks!
Here Are Ideas
Here are some ideas if you are'
temporarily tired of being patriotic
after knitting all winter for soldiers
and refugees. Pamper yourself witha
a creation of soft shetland or cash-
War Revives Knitting Epidemic;
Argyle Socks Are Fashion Pets
mere-the yarn, which is imported
from Scotland is rather expensive
on account of the war, but well worth
the money, though American yarn
can be just as good. We guarantee
that with a little patience and perser-
verence, you'll have a sweater to rival
your best friend's favorite Brooks.
If you can tear yourself away
from classic styles long enough to
consider novelty yarns, nubby and
rich-textured, you'll find infinite pos-
sibilities for unusual effects with rib-
bing and more difficult stitches.
If you don't want to tackle a
sweater, try some of those amazing
new spiral socks-just a matter of
knit and purl. They have no heels,
yet they fit your feet to a T. Very
simple, buy some sock needles or a
circular sleeve needle, and get busy
on that yarn.
Argyles Are Pets
Argyles are probably your pet pas-
sion right now-those diamond socks
women have stolen from the men.
They are not so dificult to make if
ypu have had some experience, and
they give you an opportunity to
dream up something original in the
way of color combinations.
Get your friends to donate left-
over skeins, and work out color pat-
terns to go with two or three of your
sweaters, such as beige, aqua, and
fyellow, or navy, peach, and white.
The number gf concoctions is unlim-
ited so just use your imagination.
You might knit a pair in red, gray,
and black for your big brother or the
man, and then a slightly smaller edi-
tion for yourself.
You have the fingers. Here is some-
thing in the way of inspiration (we
hope). So get on the bandwagon and
knit like mad!

houettes, judging from advance styles

By BARBARA de FRIES
At this time of complex patriotism
when the stars and stripes are being
imprinted on everything from ice
vream to carpet sweepers, the shoes
of the smart young women this spring
will pay tribute to the United States
Navy.
Stylists have temporarily borrowed
the Navy's emblem, having decided
that it would add just the right de-
grce of brightness to a plain black

ing with the navy element so fore-
most in fashions today.
Evening Sweater Described
For evening and dinner wear, there
is a ribbed boucle number, waist-coat
style. It has tiny buttons to the waist-
line and from there on it's cut away
just like a waist-coat. A beautiful
cable-stitched sweater with large
patch-pockets is elegant for informal
evening wear too!
Since suits of all descriptions are
going to be the thing this spring, lots
of sweaters and blouses will be needed
4o complete the effect, and there's
one sweater that will not only com-
plete it but definitely enhance it!
It's a two-toned, ribbed model and
comes in any combinations of colors
that could be desired, blue and white,
pink and white, and so on far into
the color prism.
Cashmeres ArerFavorites
When the weather gets a little
warmer, a cashmere slip-over will be
on the list of every sweater lover. It's
made on a fine-gauge machine and is
as thin, light and expensive looking
as anyone could want.

Springtime in Ann Arbor being
syncinymous with rain, it will soon
again be time for slickers, rubber
boots, and umbrellas to dominate our
campus.
Our usual standbys, reversible cam-
el's hair and wool plaid coats, will
convert themselves into protectors
from seasonal showers. The knee
length Chesterfield coat in pastel
shades of rain proof gabardine wil
be natty and convenient with its
huge zippered pockets and guaran-
teed protection.-
We steal the smart lines of the
regulation army trench coat, make it
up in dazzling white gabardine, and
then challenge you to get wet in it.
This coat can be had in the swagger-
ing double breasted type, or the fitted
to the waist, and full skirt style.
The outstanding feature of this fash-
ion headliner is the rounded army
flaps coming over the shoulders and
the buttons that trim it.
