By SUE VERB "Baubles, bangles and beads" in a myriad of rainbow colors indi- cate a new fashion trend in jew- elry this season. White chalk beads will be as popular as ever, with several styles appearing touched with rhinestone or gold baubles. A particularly interesting neck- lace features tiny pink speckles on white. These beads are fashioned into short chunky necklaces and long ropes. Their shapes and sizes are varied, too, combined in at- tractive patterns. One store displays an unusual chalk bead medallion. The neck- laces are also available in deli- cate pastels with earrings and bracelet to match. Colors Combined Pale glass baubles in shades of violet, green, mauve and rose are frequently combined with the white beads to form rope neck- laces. These are dusted with gold for a soft, rich effect. Ropes are also made of plastic beads in vivid colors and interest- ing weaves. They are frequently adorned with fabric flowers or fruit. Copper jewelry will strike a high fashion note this spring. One ear- ring, bracelet and. necklace set combines creamy white enamel and copper in a striking effect. Rich brilliant colors available in other styles will offset a summer tan beautifully. Flowers Featured Delicate sprays of ceramic bugs and flowers make up one of the unusual pair of earrings, which show a trend toward larger shapes. Other styles features tiny balls, birds or butterflies pearched on wire 'branches.' Pearls and brilliant coral are frequently combined to achieve eral styles come in pastel shades to match the composition bead necklaces. New to this spring's world of jewelry is "colorama" a process by which bright colored enamel is applied right on the gold of brace- lets, necklaces and earrings. j This season, French enamel blossoms promise to be big fash- ion news. These imported earrings resemble different flowers and are available in rainbow colors. Another new trend sees "crescendo" earring, which gracefully shaped to follow curve of the cheek. the is the WHITE WILES - Adding a sprightly touch to spring cottons are these chalky earrings and necklace. Fashioned in an exotic geometric pattern the white beads have an adjustable chok- er back. The price is $1. another interesting effect. The shopper will also see pink, yellow and blue beads in a variety of un- usual shapes. The always-popular button ear- rings have grown up, with some almost an inch in diameter. Sev- Pleasing to the ear as well as to the eye are the earrings and bracelets composed of several lit- tle drops which tinkle ike little bells wtih a nod of a head or a flick of the wrist. Especially popular with Florida bound coeds are the pieces of jew- elry fashioned from sea shells and tinted in delicate pastel shades. An indication of the important role that beads will play in this spring's wardrobe is noticed in the biblike effect given by wearing several strands at a time. Thus this season's jewelry will form a colorful complement for any feminine outfit. SIMPLICITY THE KEYNOTE: Good Taste Incorporates Severa I Elusive Qualities By PEG DAVIS Good taste is that elusive thing which everyone tries to incorpor- ate into his or her wardrobe.

Greg Argus, '58, said "good taste is simply clothes which compli- ment the wearer," while Kay Leo, '57SM, explained that "it involves simplicity, good accessories and appropriate dress for the occa- sion." Norlene Hermann, '58, would label "the smart and uncluttered look" as good taste. Neatness, style and non-gaudi- ness are Judy Jacob's, '57, three principles of good taste, while to Virginia Robertson, '57, a careful arrangement of colors and conser- vatism are the important factors. The buyer at a popular Ann Ar- bor store gave her definition of good taste as "anything that isn't too conspicuous." The college set seems to agree surprisingly well with the experts on this point. The head window designer in one Ann -Arbor store says that good taste is "the ability to make an outfit integrate. He feels that the idea is not to continually match, but to blend the colors, using a central theme and individuality. Three colors are the maximum that should be com- bined in one outfit. Black and white are. not con- sidered colors, but when using them as background only two other colors should be used, ac- cording to this expert. For a short girl, he suggests the long line effect. This can be achieved by keeping a single color from the neck to the hemline. Let the hat, shoes, a scarf and gloves supply the color accent, he recom- mends. For the tall girl, an effort should 3e made to shorten the line by the use of a bright belt or a large handbag. Thus, good clothes that are well- blended and complimentary to the wearer are essential in any defini- tion of good taste. Psychologists Study Effect Of Perfume Coed Subjects Identify Popular Floral Odors Among Eight Samples By DEDE ROBERTSON When a psychologist starts in- vestigating perfumes and their ef- fects on a person, some startling and interesting results are bound to pop up. In a report written by psycholo- gists Bernard Locke and Charles H. Brimm, preferences for expen- sive or inexpensive perfumes are interpreted and the ability to re- cognize and identify certain ap- parently well-known floral odors is investigated. Using 69 female subjects, all chosen from an advanced college course in psychology, the psychol- ogists gave these women "perfum- ers"-blotters dipped in eight per- fumes. Perfumes Classified The subjects were then asked to indicate whether they thought the perfume to be an expensive or in- expensive kind. They were also to state if the smell was pleasant or unpleasant. Surprisingly enough, the ten- dency was to declare the expensive perfumes as inexpensive, rather than vice versa. Every subject hatt at least one choice correct, but no one had all correct. It is interesting to note that the replies of those who had used per- fume for five years or more show- ed the same degree of error as those who had not used it at all. The frequency of use of perfume also didn't show any difference in the results, whether one qualified as a frequent, occasional or rare user. Psychologists Report The authors of the report con- cluded that "There is considerable disagreement between the indi- vidual's evaluation of the cost of a perfume and its 'pleasantness.' There was a greater tendency to attribute unpleasantness to odors thought to be costly than to con- sidering them as pleasant." Of the eight perfumes chosen, four were inexpensive, averaging about five dollars per ounce, while others cost 60 dollars per ounce. Descriptions of the perfumes were given in terms of "sweet, balsamic, modern, sophisticated, French" and similar words. Publishers of a national trade magazine for members of the frag- rance industry, dissatisfied with these results, presented a follow- up on the study. Odor Preference They stated that odor prefer- ence and perfume evaluation can- not possibly be made on the basis of a sniff from a blotter, or, even worse, from a series of blotters, one after another. "A training in perfumery, an exposure over a long period of time to perfumes of all types, is necessary before one can evaluate from the brief order and quick success. of scents," according to these magazine publishers. They mentioned that even after the training "snap judgements should not be given." Reports Disagree As further proof of the incon- clusiveness of the report results, the theory was stated that "there should be a predetermined agree- ment as to what constitutes "good taste," but in this experiment there was no evidence that either the expensive or the inexpensive perfumes were typical or correctly priced. t' 11 OXXFORD CLOTHES ANN ARBOR DOBBS HATS BURBERRY COATS DETROIT CHUNKY CHARM-Big beads and earrings will complement wardrobes this spring.
