THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THRE Find New Uses In Fall Clothes By FRANCES ROGERS Blouses are much more popular this year than they have been in many years. Their sales are keeping right up with those of sweaters. A style magazine has estimated that the average college girl has six sweat- ers and six blouses. This fall they are being worn alone, under Cardi- gans, under the new long jackets, and more than anything else under pinafores. Blouses Are Masculine Their trends, as it is true of all other types of dress today, is definite- ly towards the masculine. Fluffy or- gandies and billowy chiffons still ap- pear, but they are not nearly so numerous as the more tailored types. The rounded peter pan collar is being replaced by the convertible, which may be worn closed or open so as to form a V-neck. Long, flowing sleeves, such as appeared in the men's shirts of the seventeenth cen- tury, are taking the place of the short puff variety. Plaid or checked bold red, blue, and green flannel shirts remodeled after those of the male will be seen around the campus almost as fre- quently as the classic Brooks.1 Girls are finding them just as warm and long-lasting as they do sweaters. Verticd Stripes Noted A cross between the man's shirt and the woman's blouse, and becom- ing quite popular, are the new, ex- tremely tailored vertical striped shirts with long sleeves and closed white collars. By far the most popular blouse of all, however, is the simple tailored shirtwaist; with long sleeves, buttons down the front, and a convertible collar. In silk they are being worn frequently on the campus for events that require semi-dress, such as op- en house after a football game. They come mostly in whites and pastels. Several of these in various colors can create the illusion of an extensive wardrobe. Light flannel, cotton and gabardine shirts of this type have gained popplarity for wear in the class. room. Zeather Jn Jier Cap- Pockets Are asual College Rooms Should Combine Novelty Is Keynote Of New Handwear Four Essent By ADELAIDE CARTER ial k - C haracteristics Are you tired of angora mittens wiich shedtheir fuzz and look man- gy whenever they get vet? Are you Tomorrow is the great day when Ann Arbor stores show American de- signed clothes, modeled by Michigan co-eds, to the University women in a style show sponsored by The Michi- gan Daily and Ann Arbor merchants. There shouldn't be much doubt in anyone mind that it's a fashion dis- play important to everyone here. The American theme of the en- tire style show makes it even more our own affair. And there's much that can be done with Americana, The colors, red, white, and blue, are everybody's favorites. Red, es- pecially, this fall is coming into its own. Of course the color is used in every way, but with the patriotic theme, it does very well. A dark blue skirt is a perfect foil for a red military jacket. A red evening dress can be appointed by white stripes around the straight, short sleeves, and bordering the deep sailor collar. Sailor collars, are, by the way, mak- ing a new and dashing entree into fashionable society. They're to ap- pear on every concievable type of out- fit. Dark blue velveteen date dress- es have them. Date coats sport them. Blouses of cotton, silk or light wool adopt any color from pastels to green or brown, but remind us of our navy by their deep square collars. Even sweaters have taken up the mode, and a white wool has a sailor collar edged in blue. Navy blue is the color for every- one. White should not be over-em- phasized in winter, and red is not for redheads, nor can a very light blonde wear a great deal of it with- out looking a bit gaudy, but blue fits every season and every type. A very dark brunette, or one with black hair, must have some reliefI from dark blue," but just the small- est appointment of white will do it. Many are matching a long sleeved, navy blue wool bluse with their old stand-by, the dark blue pleated skirt. Either a single or double row of silver 'buttons marches down the front. A dark blue silk evening gown has a skirt pleated all the way around. There the short sleeves and the neck- line is round. On each shoulder gleams a jeweled American flag.' Jewelry provides opportunity to fly the colors of these United States, but, because most people choose this way to get into the swing of the new fashion, one must be comparatively conservative about the. use of such novelties. Where you may wear bracelet, necklace and ear-rings of a matching wood- en set, you should wear only one article with the patriotic theme. But do have at least this one piece with which to adorn some outfit. Our national colors are pleasantly bright enough to speak for them- selves with only one piece, and add just the right brilliant touch. Putting your patriotism into your :lothes is as effective as into jewelry. Those who design dress prints have taken this to heart. Everything from iational mottos to stars and stripes iave gone into materials with red, white or blue backgrounds. Really not only those are used, for other :olors take nationalism as well. Just incidentally, mottos written all over your blouse or dress rare a happy hough~t for conversation. There's a new vogue this fall that is, in a way, part of this theme. It's the one-sided idea-_I unbalanced draping, button rows and the like. What is particularly referred to is the buttoning when the neckline is brought well over to one side. Without a collar,. the severe line gives the impression of some uniform, and has two or three bright buttons, to hold this mood, running diagonally along with the neckline. With a white collar slant- king over and the buttons running vertically, it is still saucy and mili- tary. Another note that cannot be over- emphasized is stars. They're part of the flag of a strong nation, but, ac- tually can appear very feminine on clothes. Silver ones look particularly well on red or navy blue. If you have some article of clothing of those colors that could do with a bit of dash, it is suggested that you buy separate silver stars to sew on in various places such as the shoulders or cuffs. With all these fashions, there is a campus regular that can be point- ed to with pride. It's the dark blue reefer. As practical for dates as for class wear, it fits in perfectly with the outfits of the patriotic trend. Another coat, more for campus, is a big, chunky, short navy chin- cilla. It has big-gold buttons.

Try using colored light bulbs for the gab-fest. They change the room and make it less formal. A warm rug to sit on when the gang comes in or to land on when you jump out of bed as the alarm clock goes off, will be a profitable invest- ment. A flower pot with ivy or a geranium or some other flower placed on the window sill or desk will add life to the room. Some girls like to bring a bowl of gold fish or tropical fish to school. These are not difficult to watch. A musical powder box may help set the mood for that important date and will be a source of admir- ation to your neighbors. Pictures Should Harmonize looking, now that cold weather is descending upon us. for gloves and mittens that are warm. and practi- cal, yet different? Pigskin gloves. with the edges whip- ped in black baseball thread, are always appropriate for tweeds while wool mittens embroidered with peas- ant motifs fit the bill for smartness and comfort. If, however .you want mittens that are novel, then get yourself a pair embroidered with nautical sayings like "Ship Ahoy" and be patriotic as well. Or surprise your date with a pair of boxing gloves, in padded red or white leather with draw- strings at the wrists. Good material for conversation would be the new crazy paws": mitts in white, blue or green embroidered with funny faces, which when squeez- ed, emit queer noises! With your personality. I Harmony, efficiency, space and personality are essential characteris- tics for the college room in which you must live nine months of the year. The floor, four-walls, and windows are the only stationary features which you cannot change, and around these you must build. Clever furniture ar- rangement will increase the space you have to work with. Pick out a color scheme and a theme for your room. A Sailor's roomewould probably include a nauti- cal lamp, draperies with boats, whales, wheels and waves printed on them which would break the drab- ness of the monk's cloth curtains which hang in most rooms. Lamps Qan Be Original Although curtains are usually pro- vided and cannot be changed, lamps offer an opportunity for original- ity. A lamp with a top hat for a shade, a lamp with colored liquid in a glass base, or a candle in a wine bot- I If you are permitted to hang pic- tures on your walls, be sure they har- Better than angora for evening monize.

Dickie Adds Appeal To Sweater, JacketI You would look a long way to find anything quite so appealing as a lit- tle round white collar topping off some dashing sweater or jacket. Yes, its our campus classic, the dickie. Their servicibility makes them more popular than ever this year, and they come in all imaginable forms. White sharkskin is the favorite, but you will find pink and blue and yellow can add the right touch of colour to your ensemble. For a really distinc- tive touch have your initials or nick- name embroidered on the left hand curve of the collar. If you prefer just a collar to tuck around the neck of yourvsweater, they can be had in equal variety. A lacey one is always particularly ef- fective if you like to be feminine; and crisp white pique if you lean to the more severe. in a corner is handy for odds anda ends you collect from everywhere. And those rooms which include a window seat are God-sends to the would-be decorator. Gourds, school pillows, flower pots, etc: may clut- ter up the window seat without seem- ing to clutter up the room. A practical innovation is the small bulletin board. Snapshots, invitations, cards, phone numbers, class schedule, notes for the room-mate, bridge tal- lies, dance programs, and quota- tions grace them instead of filling the mirror with odds and ends until it can no longer be used. (But don't forget to leave a mew extra thumb- tacks for your visitors to use when you're not at home.) A supply of original signs to post on your door insures your sleep and study time. Among the more clever ones are: "He who stalks this room tonight, Will keep me up 'til broad daylight." "Dancing, studying and speaking leave no time to do my sleeping." "Beware, dog lies sleeping." ""Dog-tired." Whatever you do be sure to leave wom for yourself. Ilk- FOR AMERICAN PERFECTION% Visit outr hat selections to Saddle Shoes Still Hold Fashion Crown After Variations Cause Greater Popularity insure your individual' good looks at all times. Watch for our collection in the forth- coming style show! III First scoffed at by Michigan men and now being taken over by them. That.,in one sentence, is the history of saddle shoes on the campus of this University. White shoes with brown saddles have been most popular and are the style that men have adopted for their own use. Saddles of blue, and black are also worn but are more in the background. Especially during winter shoes are seen in great numbers and take away the universal notion that this popular make is, by rights, a summer shoe which has just been taken over by Betty Coed for year 'round purposes. SSlight variations are seen in the saddle oxford. Laces are of white, brown, blue or black depending upon the individual shoe. Some saddles are perforated around the edge while others are entirely void of such holes. The rubber soles may be white, red, or a natural color usually depending upon the substance used for the sole. This year wedgies have made their appearance in the saddle shoe and an especially unusual style has the platform effect in the same color as the saddle. Discarding the conven- tional lacing up the middle of the, h-- shoe, several of the newer styles lace up the side in a unique man- ner. More popular than ever this year is an oxford in brown and white, resem- bling the saddle shoe. A low heel on the shoe is preferred by many women for the added support and the neater appearance it gives. It is shown with a wide brown piece next to the sole and a white piece in the middle. Mocassins in beige and brown are cpming to the front and are prefer- red over saddle shoes for their solid color in place of the contrasting col- ors. Though rumour has it that saddle shoes have gone out of the picture, observation shows that they are still favorites among women and are grow- ing in the favor of the men.
