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. .W _. tortoiseshell .. r- ~- -- - (Q[[L$ $ Revlon's new study in contrast . ..spectacular with southern exposure . . . sensational with town brown or black,. match box . ..1.75 . . nail polish . . 60c . . . lipstick 1.00 .. face powder .. 60c and 1.00.
