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 foreh' d. 8 Spring Fashions Demand Trim Figures ...

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.

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!

NavyEmbl ems Decorate Heels, OfNovel Shoes 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 ardigans Prove , Evening Wear bellished with gold chevrons in keep- 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. 4hite Rules Te;mis uede pump.

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. flew Co/leclion ,4 srin J Brand markings are also found on heels, tongues and vamps of casuals, and combinations of navy kid and 7an calf in keeping with western tra- dition seem to be Ideal for spring wear. Brought back by popular demand are the Mexican Coolee sport sandal with flat rubber heels, and heel straps merging into the woven body of the shoe. Hurraches "The shoe that made Mexico famous" are due for an external existence as once again men and women alike vote them back into popularity. Made of steer- hide, these shoes are comfortable and flexible enough to please those school girls who enjoy scuffing about and to answer other demands for the all purpose play shoe.
