About The
Thing
KICKING up her Chinese skirts
-xA in a very American way, Mai
Lan Lee dashes down the hall of
Martha Cook.
An exotic-looking Chinese young
lady, Mai Lan has a streak of
American deviltry-an imp in
Chinese clothing.
And this Chinese imp has a
beautiful wardrobe in which to
xexercise her Chinese charm. Or
as Mai Lan puts it, "Let's be
Oriental about the whole thing."
4 s "I wouldn'tbe myself in Amer-
ican clothes," she says. And al-
though we doubt that anything
could daunt her, Chinese tailoring
seems to suit her much better than
the standard co-ed sweater and
skirt.
ANY STUDENTS from foreign
countries often assume western
dress when they come to school
here, because of convenience, with
X r"'saris kept in mothballs except for
formal occasions.
There are certain disadvantages
to wearing native dress, as Mai
Lan admits. Bicycle-riding is out
of the question, and so are bobby-
socks. At times Ann Arbor wea-
sy ther does, however, force her to
< y knee socks.
Throu 'h a range of dresses-
tall cut to the same pattern, but
with extraordinary variety of fab-
t ri -Mai Lan is ready for any oc-
PURPI F LINE1N man-tailored 'wit exhibits the simple lines of DAILY PHOTOS BY
typical Chinese tailoring. The neat jacket tops a matching dress CHUCKtKELSEY
cut on the standard iChinese pattern.

WITH ALL THE MYSTERY of the East, Mai Lan poses in white
silk-taffeta formal exhibiting exquisite applique work. Formals
are tailored to the same basic pattern, but are cut to ankle-length.
