TWLVE THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, API 30), Sportwear Takes On Figure Flattering Lines, With Gay Materials And Colors By DOROTHY i1RIDGEN In just about 1,250 hours June 21 will be here and that date means the official beginning of summer, the time of the year when (if we can coin a phrase), a young woman's fan- cy turns to thoughts of sport dlothes. However, with the warm spring weather many women want to be dressed in the latest fashion creation for sports. This year there are many figure' fattering outfits. Let's dress Mary Jones up in an ultra smooth outfit for a game of golf. From head to toe Mary must be glamourous, for her golf partner must be impressed, and so she plans her outfit with this in mind. She chooses a pair of navy and white shoes. You see, Mary has just read an article stating that while shoes this season have dipped into the beautiful colors of the paint pot, active sports like golf and tennis re- quire white, tan and white or navy and white shoes. Stripes Are Flattering# Next Mary chooses a pair of white anklets. Now she is ready to select her figure flattering outfit. A navy and white striped skirt just full of crinkle gives her a start. Pleats add the extra fullness for that leg action, needed in a good game of golf. A soft white blouse is worn underneath a nautical red flannel jacket. (Could be that Mary was to be out with one of Uncle Sam's men.) Our little fashion plate now looks in the mirror and decides that her hair should be held in.place with a ; hat. She quickly remembers that her skirt has a turban to match and she puts it on as pert can be. Now she is ready. Oh no, jewelry! While most people feel that jewelry is unneces- sary for sports, Mary feels that a tight fitting bracelet of red, white and blue will add the completeness necessary for her costume. Sun Dresses Needed With the roofs of the various dorm- itories and sororities full of sun- bathers nowadays, appropriate cos- tumes are much in demand. A two- piece outfit is the most logical thing to wear and fashion designers have made up some very clever combina- tions. Suits of this kind haven't be- come any briefer but they have be- come more pleasing to the eye. Seersucker costumes made of Ha- waiian prints are just the thing. The top has short sleeves slightly puffed and the tightfitting pants have a full flare -skirt over them. A white rayon jersey swim suit with a red bolero jacket can be worn if you want to look especially smart. These suits have a red threaded lastex midriff to add a flattering line to your figure, which may have grown a. lit- tle out of proportion during the win- ter months. White sharkskin is always a "must" for your sport wardrobe. And it is especially good when you have it made into a three-piece play suit. The shirt-waist top, and button-up- the-front skirt can be worn into town after that frisky game of tennis. The shorts to the outfit have the fullness concentrated in one spot in the front. J Mother's Day Qift Suggestions To Be Personal By JEAN GILMER In case it's just slipped your mind in the midst of all the excitement that accompanies spring in Ann Arbor, this is a reminder that Mother's Day is only a week away, the eleventh to be exact. In case you are (not sur- prisingly) uninspired about what to give her, here are a few original (?)f suggestions that ought to solve the problem. Your gift, and you have plenty of time to get around to buying it if you start now, should really be something1 personal, something that your Mother' wouldn't think of buying for herself.' Anything in the way of hankies or perfume would be appreciated, of course, but she probably is amply stocked with both. Clever Bags Please Perhaps your mother has bought all her spring clothes, but you can always give her a really good pair of white gloves or a hand bag, clever and gay. If you get one of those vol- uminous ones of bright stripes, she can use it on into the summer, for knittingor for taking all her beauty paraphernalia to the beach. If your mother spent all her time while you were home for vacation, trudging from store to store with you while you assembled that essential spring wardrobe, remember her with something she really wants. Your gift should be in the luxury class- perhaps an appointment for a new permanent with all the fixings, or if you andyour father think you know enough about her tastes, You might be daring and collaborate, with him on a silly new chapeau. One stu- dent's father brings a new hat back to his wife every time he goes to New York on business, and he always picks something daring and frivolous! Suggest Souvenir Gifts If your sorority is entertaining the mothers over the weekend, you no doubt all want to get gifts that will serve as souvenirs for the occasion. Perhaps matching compact and lip- stick in smart new designs would please them, or a bit of costume jewel- ry, original, but not frivolous or matronly. A gay pin featuring the military motif would go well on your Mother's new spring suit. But if you are one who puts things off until the last minute, who refuses to tax the brain for ideas, or the legs shopping for a suitable gift,t hen call the florist's for a plant or corsage, Stress Moonstones As Costume Jewels If you're looking for something new in costume jewelry, don't pass by the new simulated moonstones, made up in necklaces, earrings, rings, pins, or clips. The pastel colors, all with the beautiful sheen of the real thing, range from lemon yellow through the spectrum to dark blue. For a bit of originality, try mixing the colors. Town-Clothes Need Entirely' New Approach Classic Suit In Gabardine Wins Approval For City Wear Now; Frills Undermine Practicability By KAY RUDDY There's no doubt about it - the eternal skirts and sweaters and drag- ging sweat socks so popular with college girls do undermine your mo- rale so far as sophisticated clothes go. It's really hard to know just what to wear into town to shop oi to a tea after a solid month or two of rugged tweeds and run-over-at-the- heel saddle shoes; you get into a rut and there you are! Butpull yourself out of it before you step into the neighboring me- tropolis for a buying spree; step into the smartest outfit you have - to make you feel that you're starting right and then whip right out and get something even more up to the minute. Classic Suit Rates The good old classic suit can't be beaten for town wear right now, and one of the new light-weight gabar- dines will carry you through the summer in tailored smartness. If you think that even gabardine might be heavy in the sweltering day3 ahead, then cast your eyes over to that counter - yep, that one - where seersucker suits are being featured. Popular last year, they have become an even brighter light in the fash- ion sky this season, being made in colorful plaids as well as stripes. All sorts of the "change-around" type of costume are being produced these days by manufacturers; basic dresses, for years a standby, are being joined by "dickey dresses" and by mixed skirt and jacket combinations made extra-special by their materials of soft crepe and fine wool. Try Frills Sometimes, though, a lot of us get sick of being practical and buying the "you'll be able to wear it for years, dear" kind of dress. This sea- son, more than ever, frilly and color- ful frocks are making it even harder for us to stick to our "be practical" guns. And don't let it bother you too much if you do find your resolutions slipping. Satsify your yen for ruffles with a navy rayon crepe dress whose fine fluted organdy collar can be had in either pink (luscious!) or in white. Color a'plenty, and enough to grat- ify any maiden's heart is found in those nifty little brightly starred- and-striped silk, tailored numbers whose claim to practicality lies in the way that they can be laundered in a jiffy. Cheerful Closet Sets Are Suggested Gifts To Suit Personalities Closet sets make. charming gifts- they can be procured to suit any personality. Gay cheerful colors will brighten anyone's personal ward- robe, or slinky satins will add glam- our to anyone's estimate of herself. For a younger person, quilted chintz sets are perfect. The set in- cludes stocking boxes, glove boxes, cases for underwear to lie flat in drawers, hat boxes, hangars, shoe boxes, handkerchief boxes, clothes bags and hat racks. Figured or plain sets are both to be found, depending on the type of bedroom they are designed to ac- company. Some would fit in a closet opening off a room done in rag rugs and maple, others are designed for a room of the satin and lace type.t Newest Coiffures Are Gayly Versatile "Pomp-adorable" is the password for spring coiffures. This season they are casual and soft for the daytime or ringletted and be-bowed for the evening dances. A feathery pompadour top-piece that combs into place quite readily, soft, upswinging brush curls on the sides and the back make the perfect, easy-to-do hairdress for daily work or study. In the evening, start from a V- shaped part with a pompadour wave and curl in front and sides whirling upward, then tie the cluster of curls at the nape of your neck with a perky bow to match or contrast with your dress. A more eccentric version of this style is a pulled back pompadour on one, side of the head and a pushed- forward set of ringlets on the other 7 3/ ./ 5 i J-orm~a/ZJq"ancqt A FORMAL to suit the fancy of any girl.
