Jewelry, like clothes, must be appropriate to the occasion, say fashion experts. * * * THE COED, who spends much of her time in the classroom must choose, most of her jewelry, along simple lines. However, many new spring fashion notes are being added to jewelry to lend color and life to a. college outfit.' One new trend in styles this year is borrowed from mascu- line wardrobes. A local shop is showing a pin copied from a sheriff's badge. Made of gold or silver, it can be worn at the neck on a chain. / Bangle bracelets, the fashion of a few years ago, are being re- ri placed by a more conservative, style. A feminine adaptation of a man's identification bracelet is a rhodium-finished I.D. bracelet featuring a band that stretches open to slide easily over the wrist. Inexpensively priced at under $5, it can be engraved with name or Initials. THE MILITARY-MINDED coed will be interested in a new crea- tion by Ernest Steiner, called "Ci- tation," which is reminiscent of a soldier's medal. Backed by bright ribbon, the medal can be pinned on scarf, belt or lapel. For daytime wear, diamonds, rhinestones or large showy pins are strictly tabu. On the other hand, pearl chokers, simple gold or silver jewelry are always in good taste. Chunky pieces of gilt o well with tweeds and wools. In the evening new touches off glitter are added to the coed's costume. Earrings, in a wide as-c sortment of styles, complement evening wear. A CAMPUS apparel shop ad-l vertises a three-piece set of spring' jewelry in white beads dressed up with colorful " polka-dots. The necklace is a single-strand chok- er, while the bracelet encircles the wrist with a double-strand, andt the earrings are a single matching bead. Another fashion center is fea-1 turing earrings that look well coming and going. One ratherl large earring clamps on bothc the back and front of the lobe.c Wtih the coming of a longer hair-do for Women, the extremely long dangle earrings of the "twen- ties" are going out. Jewelry, like clothes, has its sea- sons. Although gold, silver and rhinestones can be worn all year, cork, coral, crystal and shell jew- elry are fashionable during spring and summer months only. 1 By MARY JANE MILLS Simplicity is the keynote in the fashion world this spring and mi- lady's hairdo will be no exception. This spring hair styles will be longer, smooth at the crown, flat on top, break into big soft curls or waves around the face and neck, and above all will be neat and un- adorned. Last year's real short and often shingled hair will be replaced by styles that are still short, but long enough to frame the face with some curled or waved fullness. Summer Wear Receives A.d LONG HAIR is made to appear short by rolling it into a knot at the nape of the neck. For more formal wear, a short style can be changed with the pin-on braids and hair pieces which are on the market today. Individualiy in hairdos is com- ing back. Gone are the days when every woman's hair is arranged exactly like every other woman's. * * * PROMINENT hair stylists are advising women to study their faces before deciding how to comb their curls. A hairdo can make a face seem less angular, rounder or thinner; it can even emphasize the eyes, ears, mouth or other good features a person wishes to accent. For instance, a square face can be made to appear oval by wearing a side part and a shell bang. 'A round face will seem thinner when the hair is parted obliquely and a slanting bang is worn. Deep waves are replacing intri- cate curls. A sleekly waved head of hair is more likely to withstand spring winds and rains and will form a fine companion to this sea- son's crop of hats To accent the simplicity of style, women will be bringing out the highlights in their hair with rinses that are a tone or two darker than their natural hair color. By ARLENE ELCONIN With the approach of pledge formals, dorm formals, and IFC, coeds' thoughts are turning toward the purchase of a new formal. Ann Arbor merchants have fore- seen this trend of thought, and the s t o r e s are well-stocked with gowns. Organdy is once again a favorite for spring gowns. A new style is found this year in crinkled print organdies. An especially pretty formal seen in a local shop is a pink print on crinkled white or- gandy. It has' a side drape effect with one strap. * * * NYLON NETS are always prac- tical because they can be worn the whole year. A layer of blue net UNUSUAL LACE -This two- iece dress by Nelly de Grab is of straw colored lace draped over brilliant print giving an irides- cent effect. over one of pink gives an irri- descent effect. Another popular style is a pastel faille strapless bodice with the same color net skirt in two layers, over 6ne of faille. For the coed who Wants a little variety this spring, plaids are be- ing shown. A Scotch plaid strap- less chiffon bodice with a billow- ing white chiffon skirt makes a stunning gown. * * * PIQUES, seersuckers, cottons, and piccolas are in the stores for those who want a gown only for the spring and summer. They are being shown in various styles prints, embossments, and decora- tions of nontarnishable metallio threads. Candy shades of nylon mar- quisettes are especially captivat- ing. This material is seen in strapless styles with full skirts, and also in off-the-shoulder styles with Bertha collars. Many of the strapless gowns have matching stoles, capes, and boleros. One especially pretty champaign net formal has a gold brocaded jacket to match in anti- cipation of typically cool Ann Ar- bor spring weather. Both short and full-length for- mals will be seen at the dances this ' spring. Ballerina length gowns can be found in two lengths. -short and long, with the trend towards the longer, ankle-length style. From Science Beauticians Stress Skin Care BASIC ACCESSORIES-White hat, short white gloves and a touch of jewelry show this suit'off to its fullest advantage. Since the accessories are neutral and simply fashioned they can be worn with almost any summer outfit. The suit is a neatly tailored silk shantung. * * * * * * Scarves, Flowers Contribute Finishing Touches to Cottons, By NAN REGANALL When the Michigan coed dons her spring and summer cottons this season, they will be touched off by bright scarves and flowers or matching belts and gloves. Scarves, always a popular ac- cessory, will be dominated by wide stripes, tiny checks, and organdy prints. With shorts and a cotton blouse or a "best" lightweight summer suit, a scarf loosely knotted or tucked in at the neck adds, a casual touch of spring brightness to the outfit. SCARVES often will be topped by a bright cluster of artificial flowers pinned into the folds. Flowers, especially crisp daisies, can also be fastened to the collar of a suit or at the waist of a filmy cotton dress. For dress-up o c c a s i on s, matching accessories will be in order. Wide belts and short gloves with matching checks, di- agonal stripes or Indian designs give unity and interest to a plain cotton. Separate gloves will be light in both color and fabric. Lime green, lavender and white are featured, but there will be a color to match everyone's favorite summer suit or dress. THE GLOVES will be styled from soft cottons that look and feel like suede or from the ever- popular woven string. Both allow for coolness and comfort. There will even be "peek-a- boo" gloves made from the same filmy cottons that are featured in dresses and skirts this season. Fashion designers, in the at- tempt to keep everyone happy, have come up with both very short and very long gloves. * * * THE SHORT ONES,, good with long-sleeved s u i t s or capped- sleeved dresses rely on interesting cut-out designs or scalloped edges for variety. The long variety has some- thing new in the row of tiny fabric or shiny pearl buttons running along the back from hand to elbow. With the new elbow length top- per and duster, long gloves will be especially popular. This summer's cottons will re- flect the influence of the atomic age. Scientific discoveries have pro- duced new, revolutionary cotton materials. Cottons have been treated so they are crease resistant; and guaranteed to stay crispj throughout wilting summer days.- SPECIAL FORMULAS h a v e, been discovered to give body to the sheerest fabrics such as1 organdy, voiles and organza. A new satin material has been per- fected that is made of washable cotton but has a luxurious satin finish. Lastex yarns are woven in with fabrics to produce puckered materials. Also metallic finishes can be put permanently on cot- tons to give them a rich effect. Simple, modern lines have been ncorporated into the styles of this summer's dresses. Skirts are plain with inverted pleatssor cir- cular with yards of fullness. COMBINED with full skirts are crisp sleeveless blouses in match- ing colors or with contrasting plaids and stripes. Many costumes feature matching s h o r t s and slacks to team up with skirts and shirts. Blend is the by-word in the fashion world. Soft pastel colors such as mauves, candy pinks, ice blues and cool yellow and greens are blended together to form combinations to chase off the heat of summer. The ever - popular sun - back styles are v e r y revolutionary. Strapless dresses are accented with stoles and novel jackets cut in unusual patterns and trimmed with rows of buttons. , The feminine touch is added to many of the simple dresses with trimmings of white piping, eyelet, ball fringes and sawtooth edgings. Frilly aprort overskirts can be worn over many dresses to make them into an entirely different costume. Beauticians, emphasizing the, importance of skin care this year, are laying special stress on bath- ing routine. Moderate water and thorough drying have been established as two of the most essential rules for soft, smooth texture. "Forget old notions about fin- ishing a warm bath with an icy splash," the experts advise. Since cold water tightens pores the oil glands cannot function properly and a dry chapped skin results. Thorough drying is recommend- ed in both summer and winter to prevent the skin from becoming rough and flaky. Water softener in the form of scented crystals or bath oil is used to avoid the drying effects of hard water and to insure plenty of soapsuds. If the back is gently scrubbed with a brush and the body with a wash rag or sponge dead skin is removed and the oil glands are stimulated.
