Crowns of Stores Dispa New Perfumes For Springtime By KATHERINE ZEISLER Spring of 1951 finds Ann Arbor stores featuring new cosmetic shades and perfume scents which are as light and airy as spring breezes.. April marks the time-to change from heavy, clinging perfumes us- ually associated with winter and winter clothes to light, cool scents. Later on when summer is here in full force, very light flower fragrances will be more suitable. In keeping with the trends started last summer, solid per- fumes are becoming more and more popular. Local stores fea- ture many of last year's familiar liquid fragrances in stick form. 1951 spring lipsticks are de- signed to accent the blues that are so popular in this year's fash- ions. New blue and violet tones are rivaling last year's pinker shades. Women with distinct hair and complexion colors will choose lip- stocks with either very light or very dark shades to accent their features as well as the blues in their wardrobes. Redheads and platinum blondes prefer orange or red'tones in lip- stick while brunettes favor deep reds. The medium blond or brown- ette will find the new blue shades to be in perfect harmony with her hair and complexion. bright daisies, bluebells and other small buds served to com- plement new outfits. With this taste of spring, col- lege women found that their rooms looked too cold and "win- terish." Potted hyacinths and tu- lips were purchased to add cheer to the drab atmosphere. CUT FLOWERS, too, add frag- rance and color. Roses, carna- tions or any seasonal blooms may be purchased and placed in a small flower-bowl. These floating blos- soms help to add "that feminine touch" to the bare college room. Cotton and rayon blouses are enhanced by pinning a small bouquet at the neckline. Suits and after five dresses are given "that special look" by using floral accessories. The coed who wishes to draw attention to her hair or eyes may do so by wearing floral accessories in the tresses. Slim waistlines may be accented by attaching a bunch of flowers to the beltline of one's dress. FOR THE WOMAN whose lip- line is her outstanding feature, flowers prove to be a great asset. Blossoms worn at the neck im- mediately attract attention to and accentuate the lips. Lipstick manufacturers rea- lize the importance of flowers in the field of cosmetics. New lip- stick shades include many rose and lilac hues this spring. Perfume makers, too, turn their attentions to summer blossoms. Most popular perfumes have flow- er bases. By extracting the essen- tial oils, the perfumer can cap- ture thefragrance of the flower. * * * JASMINE AND ROSE are found in almost every good perfume be- cause they add "softness" and "cushion" to a fragrance. The rose was the first of all blooms to be used as perfume, and is still a great favorite to- day. Lily and lilac scents are popular, too. Even the new fabrics follow the flower motif. Floral designs are to be found in all materials rang- ing from cotton to silk, and in all modes of dress from bathing suits and daytime fashions to for- mal evening wear. . separates to mix and match for endless wardrobe variations. a.
