T*E SHAKER LOOK
New Junior Fash ions A___,
arc
Taken
F rom Theme of
The newest look for juniors (that's
the women wearing sizes 7 to 15) is
the Shaker Look . . . which is, like
the rhyme, 'sugar and spice and all
that's nice'.
Warm wool dresses carry out this
theme . . . in the rough homespun1
material that carries dyes so well,
and in spicy colors ., . a rich brown
cinnamon . .lighter brown nutmeg,
and silvery green marjoram. A wine
red is also included in this group
as well as a deep blue, best described
as 'heavenly'.
Detachable Uape
The dress illustrated combines a
demure cape which is detachable, and
a basic wool dress, blue in color,
topped with a spanking white collar.
The skirt is full over a buttoned
waist. New 1946 lines are illustrated
by the sloping shoulder lines, and the
fuller skirt. The full length sleeves
are another bit of fashion news .. .
carrying out the distinctive simple
lines of the dress.
Another outfit in this series is a
yarn-dyed grey suit, cut very sim-
Shaker
Styles
ply, and with a unique double collar,
like a coachman's. With a yoked back
and straight skirt, the lines are flat-
tering to the junior sized figure.
A wool crepe Jumper is also in-
cluded. With wide utilitarian pockets,
and straight outline stitching on the
seams, it is charming when worn
with a white jersey tutleneck blouse.
Cartridge Pleats
On another dress is the new 'cart-
ridge pleated' waist. This is a series
of gathers in the skirt, which stand
out giving added fullness and con-
tributing to the design of the frock.
The three quarter length sleeves and
a high round neck complete the de-
inure effect.
As accessories to this new Shaker
Look, sparkling white gloves are fore-
most in value. Smooth calf lowheeled
slippers with matching over-the-
shoulder bags are made to be worn
with the suit. These leather articles
come in various harmonizing and
contrasting colors, such as russet-
red, polished blue, and grey-green.

To Aid Rushees
Since some coeds planning to rush
will have questions about rushing and
campus sororities, the Panhellenic
Office will be open from 3 p.m. to 5
p.m. every day until the end of the
semester Nancy Jefford, rushing
secretary of the anrhellenic Associ-
ation, said yesterday.
All women having questions about
rushing are urged to avail themselves
of this opportunity and to go to the
office on the second floor of the
League to obtain information. For-
merly these questions have been an-
swered by the Office of the Dean of
Women, but this year, for the first
time, Panhellenic itself will take over
the job.
Those planning to rush will regis-
ter at the beginning of the second
semester, during the first week of
classes. Actual rushing will begin at
the end of the week and will last
during the month of March.
It is important, stressed Miss Jef-
ford, that those registrants bring
their reports cards, for no other aca-
demic information will be accepted.
It is necessary to have a "C" average
to participate in rushing.

The University of Michigan was
