fI THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, APRL s Many Coeds Plan Trips Abroad P-sun-IML - - CTUR J NEWS Europe Leads Travel Areas For Summer 4 s By NANCY TAYLOR With spring comes that itch to travel. Hundreds of students satisfied part of that wander-lust during spring vacation when they trekked down to Florida, but now the big plans are for the summer. Europe is high on the list of travel spots. The old world with its ruins of what was once the great Roman Empire, the snow- capped Alps of Switzerland, the gay life of the Riviera and Paris, and the many priceless treasures- all of these draw thousands of tourists across the Atlantic each year. * * S - THE QUEEN MARY will carry Sally Knapp from New York to England, where she will begin her trip through Europe. She is going on a conducted tour with college women from all over the; United States. They plan to 'visit all of the }ountries of Western Europe, except Spain and the Scandanavi- an countries. Some of this year's graduating seniors will be sight-seeing their way through London, Rome and Paris. These coeds, Pat Sly, Charlotte Stough, Lydia Wilhelm, Shirley Davidson and Letitia Pierce are planning an itinerary of the low- countries, France, Germany, Italy and England, which will extend from -July to October. * * * THE FESTIVALS in Britain are high points on their list of things to see. The festivals are given throughout the summer at Strat- ford-on-Avon, Liverpool and Cam- bridge. Since Paris is celebrating its 20th birthday anniversary this year, an extende stay in the famous French city has been planned by the touring coeds. The S. S. America will carry Mary Lubienski to Europe. She will land in England and from there she will cross the channel to France and on to Switzerland and Italy. f r FOR HER, ALSO, the "Festival of Britain" will be a highlight of her trip. "It is a cultural event, much like the New York World's Fair, which features art and sci- ence exhibits," said Miss Lubien- ski. "I'll be anxious to compare English ideas with American." What to wear on a Europea trip is Barbara Simmons' main problem. Since part of her tour will be taken by bicycle, her wardrobe will have to be limited by luggage considerations. Miss Simmons i going on a stu- dent tour which is leaving June 28, on the S.S. Georgic. The tour will cover England, France, Ger- many, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland. * * * "WE ARE GOING to try to see the people and how they live," said Miss Simmons, "-not just museums and a lot of buildings. By touring on bikes we feel that we will get to out-of-the-way places where we can really see life in Europe." Jean Heidgen is leaving in July on a conducted trip which will tour most of Western Europe. When asked what places she was most anxious' to see, she said, "Heidelburg, because I've heard so much about it as a real old coun- try university town; Capri, because it sounds romantic; and Paris, be- cause . . . need I say more?" Vacation Togs, Styled To Suit ForeignClimes By PAT SMITH Summer vacation brings thoughts of travel and visions of a perfect wardrobe for the trip. In a travel wardrobe dilemma one should first consider the weather of the country being visited, secondly, the baggage limi- tations, and thirdly, the things one plans to do. IN, THE SCANDINAVIAN coun- tries, for instance, a seersucker suit or a cotton dress would not be sufficiently warm. On the other hand, if the traveller were clad in Harris tweeds while strolling on the banks of the Bosphorus she would find the experience very uncomfortable. Temperatures, of course, vary, but generally the climates of Bri- tain, France and other countries in that latitude compare with the northeastern states. * * * . SCANDINAVIAN weather is closely allied to Canada's, while the Mediterranean shores are sim- ilar to California or Florida. A Near East visitor would discover that the climate there approxi- mates southern Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico. Bermuda boasts a mild and equable temperature which, over a period of 25 years, has aver- aged 70 degrees. Frost and snow never occur and extreme heat and humidity are rare. Cool breezes are present at nearly all times. During the warmer months, cot- ton dresses, an afternoon dress, an evening dress, and summer sport clothes will prove suitable for all occasions. A NICE BALANCE to strike for many trips might be a medium weight suit for basic wear and sports type clothes in differing weights for varying activities and climates. For European travelling and other trips requiring m an y changes a n d little carrying space, non - crushable fabrics such as nylon, tie-silk, seersuck- er, and knits are preferable to crepe, shantung, organdy and gabardines. Those who have been abroad recommend that visitors take two pairs of comfortable walking shoes, preferably broken-in. * s S SINCE MATCHES are scarce items in Europe, one who smokes should include a cigarette lighter. Lighter fluid may be purchased everywhere. Soap is another scarce com- modity,band an adequate supply should be included. Experienced travelers w a r n against taking too much. They say that it is -a good idea not to include fussy, frilly hats or elabor- ate jewelry. * * s ALL-WHITE or light colored clothing with the exception of prints are also on the impractical side. One will probably find a trip more enjoyable if a minimum amount of baggage is taken. It will be much easier and con- venient to pack only light-weight, easily laundered articles. Seasoned travellers say that one can easily get along on much less than many would-be tourists ex-I pect. Formal Fashions To Feature Variety of New Colors, Styles Summer Fabrics Include Nylon, Voile; Coeds Favor Models with Stoles, Jachets :a By LIZ BARBER Frothy or plain, feminine ort tailored, pastel or vivid, formal dresses will add a bright and beautiful touch to the summer fashion parade. Formal fashion has found new fabrics, color combinations and styles and it is taking full advant- age of its findings. One of the newest fabrics is frosted organdyt in every lovely color imaginable.r Piccola, an embossed cotton1 that will not wash out, is an-C other material which has made a recent debut together with em-c bossed organdy and marquisette. * * * FOR VERY formal occasions,1 lace over satin, or nylon net andc tulle are especially fashionable. ., CHAPEAU CAPERS: Marcel Wave Inspires New Hat Designs By LORRAINE BUTLER Hats off to the woman who knows how to choose the correct hat for herself and is not be- wildered by the large array of1 millinery fashions this season. Rather than from soup to nuts, it has been from a marcel wave to a clam which have served as inspiration for the hats American women will wear this spring. * * , THE MARCEL WAVE, long abandoned by most women, is putI back on women's heads by de-I signer Sally Victor, in tight-fitting little hats of straw, ridged like the bumpy waves of the crlingI iron days. These hats sit back of the.s hairline, although Miss Victor and other hat designers agree that the forward tilted berets, sailors, bowlers and pillboxes are the newest in hats. "It will take women a whilevto get used to wearing hats over their foreheas," Miss Victor said. There are many new spring hats that leave the forehead bare, how- ever, like the "clam" head hugger designed by "Mr. Fred" of John Frederics. The skull cap is four- pronged and fashioned in various spring colors and fabrics. * * *S "CUTAWAY" hats are brief enough to appeal to those women who prefer to go hatless. Miss Victor, who designed the cuta- ways, did a suit version in a black straw witha tiny white bow tie tucked under the halo brim, and a dress-up version in starched white lace. "Summer hats will either be very small or veiy large," Miss Victor predicted. "Very large hats should be straws with wide; shaped brims that curve out over the forehead and down at the sides, often ending in flar- ing points at either side," she said. One creation for summer is the cartwheel hat made by sewing milan straw of different pastel shaes together, designed by "Mr. Fred." He also used pastel shades; of velvet to make summer hats patterned after traditional leg- horns. They are set straight on the head and trimmed with matching pastel straw in shades of soft pink, yellow, off-white and a champagne beige. * . *e TRIMMINGS for spring bonnets this year include the veils, feath- ers, plus new ideas like "Mr. John's" pink candy straw decor- ated with appliqued flowers of matching pink cotton; or a com- bination of straw and white se- quins sewn together in rows! or cotton lace inset into milan straw and dotted with rhinestones, or "Mr. Fred's" .pastel straw hats decorated with tiny bows of matching wool yarn. Another feature in spring hats Is the flower - trimmed snoods which dangle from the back of tiny pillbox hats to give the impression of a chignon. The pancake-shaped creation of pink flowers and black velvet bows was designed by "Mr. Fred" to pin on the back of the head, matching a crown of pink and black worn straight on the head.' These, he says, are "separates", to be worn together, or one at a time. * * * THIS SEASON it is- especially important in choosing a hat to Swishy tissue taffeta falls into this category, too. If a woman is planning to travel, and wishes to take a formal, her best bet would be nylon marquisette or non-crush- able voile. Both dry clean beau- tifully and stay fresh and crisp after pressings. Back again in good standingris ballerina length, the local stores report. Strapless styles with bo- lero jackets and stoles of every description head the list for bod- ice favorites among University coeds. * * * DROP SHOULDER dresses in pastel organdies or starched. mar- quisette are very feminine and look cool and fresh on hot eve- nings. To soften the formality of a dress, detachable sleeves can be worn. A one strap effect serves the opposite purpose of making the gown very formal. A formal that comes with a fit- ted jacket can be turned into a cocktail or dance dress at will. * * * DESIGNERS have made good use of velvet again this season and it is found in combination with every fabric. A striking con- trast is a pastel dress trimmed with velvet ribbon of a deeper hue. Black lace or red print over white is found in several ver- sions, often trimmed with velvet cord ribbon of the same color as the print. Solid colors range from the usual pastels to the brightest of reds, mint greens and orchids in pique, net and cotton. Another new scheme is the com- bination of two or thre shades of the same color. The graduating shades are com- bined in layers of net in a stole or gathered in a puff on the shoulder. history Alters JewelryFads Style Now To Favor Simplicity, Lightness By JANICE JAMES Grandma may have worn a lock of grandpa's hair in her gold and pearl locket, and the flappers may have gone overboard and sported gobs of beads and bracelets, but today's woman seems to have hit a happy medium with her spring and summer jewelry fashions. While the women of the naugh- ty nineties followed the strict and severe styles of a plain locket, with perhaps a ring on the hand or a bracelet around the wrist, the flap-. per covered herself with so much jewelry that she looked like a walking pawn shop. The females of the fifties, though, seem to follow the "on the fence" policy, for they have devel- oped the knack of dressing up, or down, a gown by merely adding or subtracting a piece of jewelry. * « « THIS DEVELOPMENT is espe- cially noticeable in the spring and summer months, when emphasis is placed upon the straight and clean cut lines which make a dress appear lightweight and so much cooler. It is during these months that white seed jewelry once again comes into its own. Bracelets, earrings and necklaces of this material are a perfect comple- ment to summer pastels. Many women prefer to wear just earrings and a bracelet with their warm weather wardrobes, feeling that an abundance of jewelry gives a heavy and cluttered appearance. * WITH WHITE A dominating summer hue, jade and coral reach their height of popularity during the vacation months. Long a fav- orite of Orientals, jade provides a note of richness, along with sim- plicity to summer gowns. Used extensively for earrings, brooches and rings, jade may be carved with a great variety of designs which add a distinguish- ing note to each piece. The earrings are often of the drop variety, but the flat versions are also attractive and popular. Rings are usually made up of one stone, but the size may be of any, dimensions. A FAVORITE FOR many years, coral is another stone which reigns over summer jewel fashions.
