#4 THE MICHIGAN DAILY W L vi t,A]', MARCIit1,v-42 Cosmetc Supply Equals Demand In Spite Of Active Defense Board, By GERTRUDE CLUBB C Although we are told that in the future we may be wearing no make- up, there is and will be for some time a plentiful supply of every kind of cosmetic on the market and we are still faced with the ever prevailing problem' of picking the kind of cos- metic which will be best for our skin and which will do the most for our appearance. Q4ualifications of the manufactur- er, smoothness of texture, and quali- ty of ingredients are things to be considered in buying cosmetics. There are certain tests and general prin- ciples which have been scientifically established which will greatly help in choosing the best face powder, lipstick and rouge. Test Powder Good quality face powder can be identified by its smoothness of tex- ture, its evenness of color and the way it looks when applied. Good powder should lend the skin a smooth finish so that it doesn't show as pow- der. Powder can be tested by putting a small mound of it on a piece of paper and, pressing it hard with the fingertips, streaking it. If the thinned-out streak of powder is grainy-looking, uneven in color, it may go on the skin in a smudgy patchy way. Powder is also much Olarker in the box than when ap- plied so care should be taken that too light a color isn't purchased. Lipstiek Should Soften Lipstick should have softening properties so that it spreads easily, doesn't dry or crack the lips and looks smooth. No lipstick is com- pletely indelible and those which profess to be so may cause irrita- tion. Lipstick can be made more in- delible by powdering lightly over the lips after application. Cream rouge and cake compact rouge usually contain the same certi- fied dyes and differ only in the length of time they stay on. Cream rouge has some of the near indelible quality of lipstick colors, and so lasts longer on the skin, and is better for day-long make-up. Compact rouge is blown or rubbed off more easily, and must be more frequently re- newed. Scents Bath Water Sold in a smart looking card- board tube case is the new scented sponge.

Spring Coats Are In Pastels And Vivid Reds "Trench Coat" Has Casual Lines; Reefer, Tweeds, Camel's Hair Styles Are Popular This Season By DOROTHY BLICKE If your last year's spring coat has done a fade-out thus making it nec- essary to add something new to your wardrobe, you'll find that this sea- son is offering a grand selection in beautiful spring pastels and vivid, distinctive reds. A good example is the new swag- ger style boy-coat. It has the wide easy lines that make men's coats so comfortable and suits can be worn under it .without making the wearer, feel as if she were modeling a strait jacket. Has Set-In Belt One of the most attractive war styles is the "Trench Coat." This makes a swell coat to knock about in with its set-in belt, push-up sleeves and casual, swinging lines. Reefers still have an undeniable undisputed place. If you want a reefer and are tired of the button all-the-way - down - the - front type, why not invest in one of the smart herringbone models which just has two buttons placed horizontally at the waist? Of course, the tweeds, those long- wearing stand-bys of so many college women, always have a place in every college woman's wardrobe. If you're caught in one of those frequent sr.ring rains, don't worry because a sprinkling never has fazed one of these good tweeds yet. Remember Camel's Hair Speaking of stand-bys, don't for- get to look at the camel's hair styles. For, as usual; they will play a promi- nent part in the spring parade. Soft pastel plaids also have a spe- cial place in the favored list. It's tun to match the pastels in your coat with your new nubby pastel sweater and it makes a smooth-looking out- fit. If you like a touch of the unusual in your clothes, why not try one of those white teddy bear. cloth coats? They're new this year and have an edging of bright-colored embroidered flowers around the yoke. This coat has the -full dolman sleeve which ends at the elbow. To Save Stockings No need to worry any longer about the Nylon stocking shortage. Well, anyhow, here's one answer. Latest outcome of national defense is the tube stocking applier. This little af- fair is supposed to make the legs look clothed in the sheerest seamless hose. It comes in a handy small tube, is applied without water, Slacks, Culottes Are Still Tops In Sport Clothes Gay Spring Cottons Exemplify Spirit Of Patriotism, Rhumba / ' x: .. 12]' ,<0 Syr By FRAN TRIESTRAM Gayety with a vengeance seems the byword for spring dresses, especial- ly cotton ones. After all, something is needed to keep up morale and1 nothing can do the job as well as new clothes. Since zippers, snaps, ornaments, and other trimmings must be used at a minimum, the wanted effect is achieved primarily with fabric and color. The majority of styles are plain. Patriotism Shows Design is influenced by patriotic fervor for America. Good old Amer- ican plaids and stripes, perennially in evidence in the summer, are back again in full force in seersucker suits and the favorite tailored shirt- waist frocks of chambray and per- cale. But even the tailored dresses this season, have skirts with a full circular swing. Tropical islands make the front pages/yin fashion news as well as in the war news. One dress with a full skirt, set-in waist band, and plain blouse, is splashed with an enormous print of palms, parrots and huge flowers of the leis. }North American Indian designs are reflected in many vivid dresses. Some of them are patchworks of more colors than are contained in the rain- bow and there are many different colored blocks xll on one dress. Rhumba Spirit South American rhumba and tan- go spirit is exemplified in cotton Bracelets Are Vogue Sweethearts and mothers alike find a joy in small, silver bracelets. De- signed to please are sterling-silver bands which the Indians from New Mexico make in the long evenings. Milady can wear any number from one to five, although this season it is the vogue to wear quite a few of them on either one or both wrists. Among a group of girls living in a dormitory or sorority house it is a common thing to pool the silver trin- kets owned by each person, and take turns wearing the . whole jingling mass to classes. dresses with many frills and ruffles on blouses, skirts, sleeves and full swinging skirts. Prophesized as the newest sensation, to succeed the broomstick skirt, is the fiesta skirt. It is made of bright calico, is very full and fairly long, and has a wide percale ruffle along the bottom, caught up and over by a big percale bow. Everyone's time is precious and the latest clothes take this into consider- ation. The new timesaver dress, the chemisier dress, and the belted tube dress, are all one-piece. With no trimmings, buttons, or fastenings, they are easy and quick to get into. Some are wrap-arounds or have draped skirts. These will be found in abundance this spring. Latest Edition! Pajama Favorites, StandardiHousecout Are Newly Revised With the coming of warm weather, silky, sheer nightgowns are pretty arid cool, but in college, pajamas remain the perennial favorite. For years college girls rolled up the legs, so finally clothing manufacturers caught on and now turn out sleep- ing shorts. These are wonderful as far as comfort is concerned and who cares about appearances anyway? A new reversible house coat with terry cloth on one side and glazed chintz on the other, works double time. The terry cloth is soft as a kitten and even your telephone ring- ing while you're in the shower won't be too irritating if you can slip into this nice bath towelish material. The chintz is slick and cool. :, 'u-- BLOUSES long or short sleev in broadcloth and silk. $1.98 to $3. cludes pastel their classic companions - skirts. - of a coed's wardrobe in- blouses and ./\y\\y\\\~yy yyy\yyy Ayy\\~y~\\1yy\~~~yyy\\~\\yy\\A\\\A\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\:\ \, '7''s .seso00 /7;a /7t /se~ '74 /r " ice; / "ti /7i / , &! 34 anr SKIRTS crepe in plaids. .......... 0 LAecauje yjou ICve NICE THIN.GS Skit yourself at KESSEL'S.

You looked funny if you didn't follow it, and sometimes funnier if you did. This season the only rule is variety, and you can wear anything that looks best and gives you vivid- ness. For one suggestion there is a flow- ered sateen shorts ensemble knee- length and slim with a glently flaring skirt to go on top. Green acetate jer- sey makes a graceful dirndl skirt and you wear full peasantish batiste blouses on top. Sports Suit Suggestions Another ensemble idea is a yellow cotton print skirt coyly looped to show a red cotton petticoat under- neath. It's calf-length and has a one-piece bathing suit to match. For barn-dances an ankle-length black cotton skirt with bright gingham stripes around the bottom is pictur- esque. Old-fashioned white blouses and a cameo brooch are supposed to be worn with Rt. Incidentally black is the striking color in sports this year. It's made up into slim slacks with boleros and bright printed blouses are worn with it. Now shown also in big stores are knee-length shorts of black syn- thetic material and sun-flower print- cotton blouses with a flattering gau- cho collar. Culottes Come Back Culottes have made a fine come- back for this summer, combining the ease of trousers with the grace of a skirt. They are worn in white shark- skin with a red jersey blouse and sash and strings of red and green beads. Playsuits are full of color and verve. You may wear anything from navy cotton knit shorts that come to the middle of the thigh to long skirt- like affairs and back to the very brief romper suit. Copied straight from a boxer's come gabardine shorts, and they are accompanied by a multi- colored short ballerina skirt-and-bra bathing suit which can be dressed up with a knee-length skirt and bolero jacket. Other assorted suggestions are the white cotton jumper over brown print shorts and shirt, tapered spun rayon slacks that zip down the sides, the "vitamin" dirndl (backless), rhumba frills on playsuit skirts, and a white cotton utility jacket to go over all your summer clothes. Glasses Have Lost Their Social Stigma Time was when we gals would go through almost anything to avoid wearing our specs in public; we'd reach for the mustard and come back with the gravy, we smiled at strangers and snubbed our friends- oh, all by accident of course, and just because we were embarrassed to wear glasses. Now, however, spectacles have lost their stigma and they're seen at all the best places. If you don't look good in plain, old rimless ones, you can't let that deter you. You can get 'em to match your hair, your eyes, your clothes, almost anything They've lost their air of drab real- ity. They even occupy an enormous part in the movies these days. Seems as though they sort of indicate your personality if you choose 'em right. flannel, wool and silk solid colors or shadow $2.98 to $9.98 218 South State 0 f y. . ,' ' 4 ,A. . j "ys f ,y. rf.: ..
