APHRODITE REIGNS SUPREME:
Coeds Bow to Godess of Beauty
By ESTHER MARGOLIS
Aphrodite, the goddess of na-
tural beauty, might turn over on
her cloud if she could witness the
advancements made by cosmetic
manufacturers in furthering femi-
nine loveliness and cleanliness.
"To enhance the sheen of your
hair, try shampoo with color ac-
cents. O n e reasonable-priced
shampoo is especially designed to
bring out highlights in red and
brown hair, to lighten blonde tres-
ses and to eliminate any yellow
discoloration in silver tones. It
will not harm or bleach the hair.
Conditioners with coloring can
be found on the market as a sup-
plement to the shampoo. There's
usually an uneven coloration in
the normal head of hair. The dif-
ference in shade is seen between
the shaft and the ends of the hair.
The new dressing creates an even-
ness in color and brings out the
natural luster.
Wet Hair Vanishes
It isn't necessary to go around1
with wet hair after a shampoo.
A new spray, now on sale, will dry
the hair swifter than nature. Butf
'Good Scents' Attract Males;
Floral Fragrances Stressed
By MERRILL MARTIN
Spring usually makes a young
man's fancy turn to love, but the
right perfume can make these
fancies permanent!
Perfume, definitely as import-
ant as correct fashions, are just
as subject to seasonal change.
Here's a preview of some of the
fragrances drifting around this
season.
Floral scents are always popu-
lar in the springtime. Some de-
lightful ones are "Lavendar" by
Yardley and Dior's "Miss Dior"
which is a blend of "sixty dif-
ferent flower notes."
Other ever-popular floral scents,
their names derived from their
odors, are "Lilac," "Gardenia,"
"Heliotrope," "Blue Hyacinth"
and "La Rose." "Un Air Em-
baum6," (fragrant breeze), is a
creation of Riquad which is per-
fect for the girl who wants to ap-
pear as the proverbial breath of
spring,
To match the new sport fash-
ions, there are such woody and
spicy blends as Bendel's "Un Peu
d'Elle and Faberge's always-popu-
lar "Woodhue" and "Straw Hat."
For delightful spring evenings
there's a range of scents from
floral to the ultra-sophisticated
oriental blends. A new fragrance
"Accomplice" by Cody is "warm,
fresh . . . and just a bit myster-
ious," ideal for those "special"
nights.
From this preview it seems as
if the perfume manufacturers have
created fragrances for every mood,
occasion and personality. A good
reason why it won't be difficult to
use "good scents" this spring.

no time to shampoo? Then try
another spray that will revive and
wave the hair, while cleansing.
The face must not be neglected,
either. Spot sticks applied, before
the foundation make-up, cover
blemishes, lines or cracks. One
brand contains an antiseptic
which will heal the blemish while
concealing it.
As a base try a new velvety liq-
uid foindation make-up. This
preparation's chief selling point is
that it doesn't change color under
different lightingconditions.
After the foundation, the fea-
tures come in for their share of
attentin. Accent the eyes with
effective opalescent eyeshadow,
which is toned with silver. Be-
sides the ordinary small case, it's
now put out in atube for greater
convenience.
Eyelashes may be emphasized
with a colored pomade instead of
mascara. This cream will not rub
into the eyes and has a unique
effect when used with an eye-
lash curler.
Rouge for Naturalness
Liquid rough is still the best
compliment for the dheeks, it
creates a more natural look.
There is now a concern manu-
facturing two lipsticks of the same
shade, one for day and one for
evening wear, because lights have
a different effect on the lip color.
For example, clear red lipstick
appears orange at night. To avoid
this change, -manufacturers sell
two lipsticks in a combination
package so that the color selected
will always appear the same tone.
Indelible Accessory
Women now enjoy the advant-
age of indelible lipsticks. One
company has introduced an un-
dercoat that will insure indelibil-
ity of any lipstick. In the form
of R-Tone for red, V-tone for
blue-red and T-V for orange, this
undercoat is also worn alone.
The hands are another focal
point. The skin should be lubri-
cated with a whipped hand cream.
Coming in a can with a spout,
like men's shaving cream, this rea-
sonably-priced ($1.25) 1o t i o n
works into the hands, is absorbed
and is non-sticky.
Hand lotion is a must every
time the hands are washed. To
aid this habit, manufacturersI
put on the market foil-wrapped
purse packets of cream. Designed
for the "use once and throw away"
idea, the packets come in boxes
of 96 packages for only $1.
An application of cologne-foam
all-body lotion, scented with dif-
ferent scents, completes the beau-
ty treatment.
But for the dieting coed, a clin-
ically tested and approved body
lotion is available which will mas-
sage and make the skin firm after
loss of weight!
Dietary aids and cosmetics have
been found to mix successfully.
What the next move is. Aphrodito
only knows. It's doubtful that she
will even tell.
But it will be discovered next
season, to be sure!

"On South U. just around the corner from Washtenaw"
By BEA MINKUS
Crinolines, one of the most po-
pular of feminine frivolities, are
by no means a new invention of
fashion.
Petticoats worn today were the
style -of the court of Queen Eliza-
beth and James I. Crinolines in
vogue during that era were sup-
ported by whalebone and made of
horsehair." For years they were a
leading branch of the steel trade.
In 1856, the crinoline invaded
the wardrobes of women of all
ranks. Reaching pretentious di-
mensions, they proved very incon-
venient to both the wearer and to
those near her.
These immense bell-shaped pet-
ticoats left the fashion scene
about 1866.
About three years ago, the ad-
vent of the tiny waist and billow-
ing circular skirts caused the crin-
oline to regain popularity. A host
of styles and brand names ap-
peared on the market, the most
effective being the nylon horse-
hair type.
Since the price was too high to
accommodate most budgets, many
variations have recently appeared,
offering attractive stiff crinolines
at more reasonable rates.
Along with the nylon horsehair
crinoline, popular for its lasting
stiffness, other nylon styles are.

nylon, replacing the cotton petti-
coats formerly worn.
Straight Tops
The trend in crinolines for
spring is the straight top, hip
flair with embroidered *eyelet.
Novelty crinolines are also
shown. Fancy fringed bottoms with
dangling charms and fruits, along
with the feminine multi-colored
ruffles are eye-catchers.
Although many heavier coeds
wish to wear crinolines, it's sug-
gested they avoid the gathered-
waist style and stick to the smooth
hip-line petticoat which is more
flattering to the waist. Slim girls
can choose from the wide variety
of slips without fear of over ac-
centuated hips.
Male Viewpoint
In asking several. University
males for their opinion of this
fashion, a wide difference of atti-
tudes was discovered.
One student denounced them.
He said that he couldn't get close
enough to his date when she wore
so many petticoats. Another re-
marked that crinolines were made.
"tg deceive the opposite 8ex."
"They make it difficult," he said,
"to determine just where the co-
ed ends and slip begins."
The general concensus, however,
was that crinolines should be
worn in moderation. A gentle bil-
lowing effect is graceful and at-
tractive, but an excess is disliked
because "it makes coeds look like
barrels."
In keeping with the current
trend, beach jackets are also gaily
printed. Outstanding is a brightly
polka-dotted terry cloth. Another
terry jacket, covered with tiny
flowers, has the added attraction
of a hood.
