By RITA GEDROVICS
Most women get their clothes'
after many weary hours of shop-
ping in crowded stores and then
often still do not have exactly
what they want.
For Mrs. Mark Nickerson, wife
of a University associate profes-
sor of pharmacology, this is no
problem.#
SHE FINDS a better way of
getting ari attire exactly fitting
her heart's desire-she designs
and makes her own clothes.
All sorts of clothes designed
by Mrs. Nickerson will be mod-
eled at the style show to be held
by the University of Michigan
Dames at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in
the Rackham Amphitheater.
Among the various creations
are various styles of dresses, toj
fit occasions like sports, office,
school, home, and also mlore for-
mal parties.
* ..*
COMBINATIONS of harmoniz-
ing dresses and coats are also
among her designs. Mrs. Nicker-
son has also made different suits,
stoles, and blouses.
Perhaps her specialties are
novel and colorful cocktail
skirts from silk, taffeta and felt.
These skirts usually feature
some design or aplique. All the
designs on these skirts are put
on by hand.
Quite frequently Mrs.-Nickerson
makes these designs from sequins
or embroiders them. Some of the
fanciest skirts, however, feature
stenciled designs from textile
paints.
* * *
ON ONE of these novel crea-
tions is a stenciled skyline of New
York City in true scale. All the
buildings are outlined in sequins.
Not only does Mrs. Nickerson
design different skirts, she also
makes them to fit various sea-
sons of the year. One of her
skirts displays a Christmas tree,
or to apply to the mood of win-
ter parties, she has made a skirt
with designs of snowflakes.
Aside from designing clothes for
women ,she also makes them for
little girls.
* * *
MEMBERS of the Michigan
Dames who will model various
clothes designed by Mrs. Nicker-
son for the style show are Pat El-
liot, Rosemary Roskopp, Jayne
Balgooyen and Jewell Dean. Oth-
ers modeling will be Joyce Elliot,
Mary Ann Finnegan and Marilyn
Flemming.
One of the local dress shops
will also show some of its new-
est styles in dresses at this style
show. Among the models for the
store are Marian Dodge, Doris
Mahler, Marylee Symmonds,
Conny Nagle, and Sylvia Stor-
wick.
While her husband was in med-
ical school, Mrs. Nickerson got
started on her creative work to
supplement the family income.
She made table linens and sold
them in a gift shop in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
* * *
WHILE SHE was teaching in a
private girls' high school, many of
the mothers expressed a desire for
something special and imagina-
tive in the line of their daughters'
wardrobes. Thus, to satisfy their
desires, Mrs. Nickerson got the
idea to design something new and
since then has been doing this
work continuously.
After the family moved to Ann
Arbor in the fall of 1952, Mrs.
Nickerson took a course in textile
painting to supplement her know-
ledge of this art which she had
taught herself.

Dear Sir:
To you who are about to purchase your first gem.
In this letter I shall offer you facts and advice on how to select and purchase a
fine diamond. Some of you may not know how to choose a reputable jeweler because you
often lack the knowledge of how to select him.
Claims in diamond advertisements only tend to further confuse the buyer. The first
step to a successful purchase of your diamond ring is to select a jeweler you have confidence in.
To make that selection you must look for a jeweler with these three primary
qualifications: 1. knowledge.. 2. integrity. 3. experience.
By knowledge I mean the jeweler must be a trained and qualified gem expert.
Not one to simply give some convincing sales talk but to personally grade each and every stone
he offers for your consideration; to point out the merits of each stone; to offer explanation
as to why one stone is not of the same gem value as another.
As it has been said, "With knowledge we learn to appreciate." A qualified
iPWP1Pr will iV, frrPI, of i ti e ra l .. rwn. . -nt°- - a.ir-.m rr_,....
