Fashion Trend
Is Accelerated
Seersucker Prints, Frothy Nets
Will Be Seen; Ballet Length
Gowns Promise To Be Popular
By MARILYN MAYER.
When a young man's fancy turns
to thoughts of love and stuff a young
lady's fancy turns to thoughts of her
new spring formal. This spring it's
a ten to one bet a splashy flowered
cotton will be your choice.
Frosted seersucker prints are
scheduled to be the most popular this
spring with embroidered organdies
running a close second. For solid
comfort and distinction why not se-
lect a snowy white pique applique
with a huge blue bow on the sweeping
skirt? When .shopping you're sure
to meet tp with gay pique prints so
be prepared for prints with white
pique jackets, solid colors with print
trim or ruching or even mixed prints.
The war has also influenced dress
designers this spring for formals are
not only adhering to patriotic red,
white and blue but are designed with
army buttons, navy collars and air
force insignia to suit your favorite
division of the service. The South
American trend is still prominent
with its voluminous ruffles and low
waist line.
Also new this year are the ballet
length formals which promise to be
more popular than ever especially
with warm spring evenings in view.
Frothy nets in your favorite pastel
shade will be in style. this season.
Silk jersey formals with emphasis on
white may be found in almost any
style you wish. Jersey combinations
with net will also be seen this spring.
In keeping pace with defense plans
why not purchase a smooth black
skirt and design your own formals by
substituting bright print blduses or
frilly marquisette blouses with -huge
bishop sleeves for the top? Many
spring-formals are being made with
the smart torso length waists. More
tailored evening dresses are accept-
able, especially those with pastel
linen or pique jackets.

By Colorful Slickers.
Ii spite of the traditional spring,
romantically depicted by poets, every-
one-and especially college students
-sets himself-and herself-for a
siege with March thaws and April
rains. Even those of us who aren't
math majors can count, without us-
ing our fingers, the days out of these
months that are filled with good,
old-fashioned sunshine.
In order to brighten these rainy
hours, nanufacturers are utilizing the
new bright colors in their wet-weath-

adorning the bleak campus walks on
these forthcoming spring days.
White raincoats will be gaining
in popularity with the prospect of
blackouts and air-raids becoming
more and more real. For those who
are consistently conservative the
stores are now well stocked with the
traditional trench coats.. Zippered
fly fronts, special pockets for cigar-
ettes, and other features add to the

Crepe Will Sub!
In Civilian Sprii
By BEATRICE BOUCHARD
When rumors started circulating
that there was to be a rubber short-
age, everyone and his brother tore to
the nearest garage in a desperate at-
tempt to buy or perhaps hoard a few
extra tires. When it was rumored
that there would be a sugar ration-
ing, again people made a mad effort
to stock up on the valuable product.
Well it looks like the same fate is to
befall every good that will be scarce.
In the way of clothing, wool of
course is causing the present worries.
There will be a shortage and in fact
there may be a complete lack of that
material for civilian use. Again the
old selfish motives are manifesting
themselves this spring. Every woman
who is in the market for a suit or
coat will consider nothing but wool,
wool and more wool. Shock upon
shock, every woman will get her pre-
cious wool because according to a
local buyer in Ann Arbor, there 'will
be no real scarcity for six months
anyway.
Maybe Next Winter
This is probably distressing news to
those who shopped in December for
their spring clothes believing that
they would make everyone green with
envy because of their hiscious wools.
If these potential hoarders really
want to cause a riot, however, they
can start shopping soon for next

printed chiffon that is made to look
just like a short little dress.

Watch for bright red! Red polka
dot dresses under navy coats are un-
beaten. Reverse it with navy polka
dot silks under red. Broad rid brim-
med hats will stand out in the spring

a close follow-up. Red calf pumps are
shown in almost every style. The

to match the new high colored fash-
ions.
Pastels still hold the fort for cam-

Tulip Skirts Affect
Spring Silhouettes
Tulip skirts are the newest spring
silhouette. They're full and slender
each where it will do the prettiest
good. The skirt, instead of flaring
at the knee, is tucked in, in becoming
lines. Wide sashes add ' a gay color
note.
One version of the tulip style is a
tunic skirt that flares a few inches
above the knee and a straight under
skirt reaching the knee. This outfit
also has tiny white cuffs and collar
with a grosgrain bow at the neckline.
A nipped in waist line and white hat
and gloves compete an exceedingly
feminine tunic.
Popular feature is the new accent
on sleeves. Either form fitting sleev-
es or wide billowy ones take top place.

And Tailored Models
It's time to pension off thosxe
steam-ship gray flannel outing pa-
jamas you've been luxuriating in all
winter, until next winter and to turn
your thoughts to lighter things.
You'll be glad to know that those
Carmen Miranda-ish mid-riffs are
back again! This year they are be-
ing featured in huge gaudy splash,
prints. Definitely on the cheerful
side! The trousers of this pajama
have a wide flaring cut which differs
greatly from the straight lines of the
tailored pajamas.
However, there are still those con-
servatives who prefer the simplicity
of the tailored pajamas. These are
being shown in clean looking stripes
and gay flowered patterns.
A new quirk in the pajama field
is the semi-sweetheart neckline
which is also being seen in many
of this spring's dresses. This neck
line provides a change from* the
open one of the tailored pajamas.
