Wedding Dress Happy Thought At Any Time
In spite of what they say about June, any month is a wonderful time for weddings—as the vital statistics well prove. And there is nothing like a good traditional wedding to bring to the fore all the creativity fashion a girl and her mother can call upon. Of course, father has to be called upon a little too, but the dress selection is for the women.
As it has been for centuries, white is still the favorite color for the wedding dress, but palest pastels in lavender, pinks, greens, and yellows are not by any means being ignored. They look lovely in the heavy winter satins seen so often in the colder months. Particularly good is the pastel satin that tastes the color sense—so that you're not quite sure, as the bride goes walking down the aisle, whether the dress is really white—or was it a very pale pink?
Now that spring is fastly approaching, nets and organdies and the nylon tulles and chiffons will be swishing down church aisles. The newly revived bell shaped skirts with many many petticoats will make them even fuller than they have been.
Of course, a wedding dress is never complete without the proper veil, and veil styles are abundant. The Juliette cap is still a favorite, and looks lovely with either satin or net or the fluffier materials. The "square-on-t h e-forehead" setting pillboxes, or the heart shaped Queen Anne bonnets look especially well with the lighter materials. Then, too, the simple head bands of velvet are coming into their own and give a stately look to the satin wedding gowns.
Many girls hesitate to spend a great deal of money for the wedding dress, as it will only be worn once—so, to put a little economy into the dress selection they purchase a dress that will also double as a very special formal. Many bridal shops specialize in handling just such dresses, and they are available in all materials.
Other girls who hesitate at a tremendous outlay of money for the dress, and who are fortunate enough to be able to sew or to have mothers who are able to sew, can limit the number of trips they make to triangular, and some very loving hours.
With the wide variety and availablity of materials on the market today, more and more girls are either making or having their dresses made, and the pattern people have kept up with the demand very well.
U.S. Fashion Personified In Magazines
American fashion is a big copy of Vogue—or Mademoiselle, or any fashion magazine. American fashion is different from any other fashion in the world—you and I can buy it at the local drugstore.
Bv MARY BESS STEPHENS
It's there—the clothes, the bright people wear, the glittering people—the clothes that we can wear, depending on our pocketbooks, or on how well we can sew. It's all there in the big thick copies of the fashion magazines.
And in the magazines we see before us, idealized perhaps, but copied and stressed by many, many women, what the American woman at her best looks like.
We see strange makeup techniques, easily explained, copied from the classic ballet. We see American cities—shot from the lens of a fashion photographer—as background for the thin models, dressed in Hattie Carnegie or Cassini creations.
We read articles urging us to rest, to cream our skins, to carefully brush our hair. We see new materials and radical styles. We see shoes cut on new and so different lasts.
Sometimes we look at the thin hungry models and laugh—and we wonder who on earth would wear such heavy makeup. We see ads extolling the enhassive qualities of green face powder and we can't help smiling.
But we read on. We pass the $300 section and turn to new designs especially for the working girl. They look lovely. Finally, when we have finished the magazine, we skim it again, then leave it, and our friends run to grab it and fashion is the subject for hours.
While we are reading the magazine, we hold American fashion in our hands—we read the dictates for the month, or the year, and though we smile often, we basically approve.
Then, when a shopping day finally comes around, we go to the stores knowing—more or less—just what we want. We have read the magazines—we have seen the pictures. We have held American fashion in our hands.
KU Dames Have Party
The KU Dames, a national student organization for student wives or students who are wives, was maintained by the HC II at which it is maintained an active record since.
The group is now sponsored by Mrs. Nobel Sherwood, whose husband is a professor emeritus of bacteriology, and by Mrs. Roland Baker, whose husband is an associate professor of zoology.
The KU group is a charter mem-
ber of the national organization.
The late Mrs. Eugene Mitchell was
a professor at the Lawrence
chapter of the organization.
The group meets the second Monday of every month for a general meeting in the Art museum lounge. The Dames also sponsor three interest groups for their members—child study and arts and crafts, which also meets once a month, and a bridge and canasta group, which holds meetings twice monthly.
Try removing wrinkles from woolens by giving them a spin in the automatic dryer. Place the wrinkled garments in the dryer with two large turkish towels which have been spun damp dry in the automatic washer or run through a wringer. After 5 to 10 minutes at low heat, remove the woolens from the dryer and dry on a hanger.

So if you think you need glasses—or if you'd just like to find out if you do, you'd better take a flying trip to the local optometrist and get his decision.
Don't pass off blurring eyesight with a shrug and a nasty thought of all that work last final week. After all, your sight is something pretty precious to be facetious about.
You and Dorothy Parker may thoroughly agree that glasses do a girl no good. But if you need them, (or so that excessive straining and peering leads you to believe you do) then take a good long look in the mirror. Umm—see those little squint lines developing around your eyes? Not too pretty.
Check Your Pretty Eyes
If you do make the move, and go to have your eyes checked, relax. It certainly won't be a frightening ordeal, and much to your surprise you may find your oculist's shop to be a wonderland, filled with some really very attractive eveglant frames.
Nowadays such things most certainly exist, as you can see by looking around you. In fact, due to the increased attractiveness of eyeglass frames, many people go
Any color can be found in eyeglass frames—everything from emerald green to bone white, and if the style you happen to want doesn't happen to be in stock, some company somewhere is bound to have it.
You can get glasses to suit your basic personality types, to suit your coloring, or to suit whatever whim of fancy just happens to strike you. But you will, of course, get eyeglasses to suit your facial structure.
Plastic is the favorite material as it's easy to tint and shape and extremely hard to break.
Glasses cases have improved right along with the specs, too, with some really attractive ones being made up in metallic materials and very nice leather. Some cases have little pockets on the outside that make excellent change carriers.
So, Bright Eyes, look in the mirror—and if you have any trouble at all seeing what looks back at you, you better have those sparkling eyes checked. It's the surest way yet to preserve their sparkle.

Chi Bi 'Christinized'-Sorry
i wish to have it understood that i am a male, and that sarge had just better stay damn well where he is.
i wish to express this fact to all editors and all others that may occupy a berth in the canine species, as much as i like seeing my mug shot-er picture on your society page i do not like being typographically "christinized" to fit the mood of the biggest darn peke you will ever see.
yours truly chi chi
Eds Note: Sorry, old boy. We didn't mean to "Christinitize" you, and we'll be sure and pass the word to Sarge. We respectfully submit that you take a few boxing lessons over in the physical education department. Maybe you'll need to know the finer art of self-defense if Sarge and the other boys don't seem to get the idea. Sorry, Sarge—we tried !
Sleep is a wonderful thing—it's one of the few things everyone in the world is highly in favor of—barring a few eccentric professors, of course. And it certainly is a highly valuable thing, in spite of people saying no one ever got anywhere that slanted his life away.
Be that as it may, nothing is more conducive to feminine beauty—the kind that makes the polecats howl—than a nice long cat nap.
The beauty experts say the best way to take this "cat nappish" sort of beauty rest is to find a nice, hard floor next to a nice soft bed, stretch out on the floor, put your feet up on the bed, put some cotton pellets pelled in freshener on your tired, tired eyes and forget the books for a while.
The picture presented may not sound too attractive, but it does wonders for getting rid of those shadows where shadows shouldn't be, for improving complexion tone, and for muscle control and posture. Really feels good, once you get used to that floor!
Sleep Needed To Be at Best
Try a Parakeet-
He Won't Last Long
The newest trick we have heard of yet that is guaranteed to drive housemothers mad is to install in your pink bou迪 what is known as a bird in a gilded cage.
It's simple—all you do is run to the local five and dime and fork over the money for a parakeet. Chances are the bird will be evicted before he has time to learn any of the social graces, or even a few good words of greeting.
