Don Mother's 1924 Styles For Your 1954 Fashions
A great deal of discussion on campus has been concerned with the new fashion that Dior wants to put across to the American public. The men, of course, don't seem to approve and, the women seem to be against it too!
Why, do you suppose, are females so adverse to changing their wardrobes? This problem probably dates back to 1949. That was the year the "New Look" was introduced, and many women junked their entire wardrobes, only to find, a few years later, that it was time for another fashion change.
The fair sex has been in hot water over these wardrobe changes, because it's usually hubby's or dad's pocketbook that suffers. This really is a problem for the American woman. She wants to be stylish, true, but she also wants to keep peace in the family. There are many ways to solve this problem; one method that has worked rather successfully though, is the "raid on the cedar chest" method.
You've noticed, I'm sure, that the latest style isn't new; it's a flashback to the twenties. The flapper dress that has a straight line to the hips, where the waist is; the miles of bead ropes twisted around the neck; the eye accent makeup; all of these were first popular in the twenties. The only thing that's been changed in the 1954 "New Old Look" is the smoking equipment. Now women clamp jeweled pipes in their teeth rather than using the cigarette holders of the twenties.
If you're really interested in looking fashionable, why not "dig out that old grey grey bonnet with the blue ribbons on it," as well as coats, dresses, and jewelry, and you'll have everything you need to be the ultimate in fashion.
Why not go up to the attic, or down to the basement, or wherever you store old clothes that have had too much sentimental value to be thrown away. The next time you're home, check into the contents of that dust-covered trunk or cedar chest.
Ten to one you'll find just what you need in the way of new wear-ing apparel to fit the "new look." It's the clothes of '24 for fashion in '54!
40 Women Running For 84th Congress
Washington — (U.P.)— Forty women are running for Congress this fall, and there is a good chance more will be elected than ever before.
If so, it will be the third time in two years that the record high for women in Congress has been shattered. The first woman was elected to Congress in 1917. Women were given the right to vote in 1921. There has been at least one woman in Congress ever since.
During World War II, the Dutch underground used the name of Scheveningen, a coastal city, for a modern shibboleth to unmask Germany agents. Only a Netherlander can pronounce it correctly.
