Fashions for Men Show Color and Originality
By LaVERLE YATES
Revolutionary things have been occurring this year in the field of fashion—men's fashions that is. The well dressed male is now wearing colored shirts with tie and coats for dress--pink, blue, grey, and tangerine lead the list of most sought after colors.
Suits have become antiquated at $ \textcircled{*} $
Sirius have become Eastern colleges, and separates seem to be taking the nation by storm. A sports coat and slacks are now the thing for dress occasions. The boys say that it is easier to mate than match clothes and separates can be worn anyplace from a football game to dances — a truth which the girls have long known and capitalized upon when planning their wardrobes.
Three sports coats and five pairs of trousers can now be expanded into an almost inexhaustible wardrobe. Even ties have changed. Bow and knit ties are coming more and more popular with the college crowd. The conventional "old reliable" is becoming shorter and narrower.
Men's accessories are also changing. The clips are about one half their former length, and French cuff links come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are about one inch square.
Initial or antique scroll styles are now being featured in tie clips and cuff links while stones are a thing of the past.
Plaid dinner jackets came into vogue last year, and Bermuda shorts are now being worn in the East for sports, lounging, business, and formal occasions. For lounging, the shorts come in assorted colors and are worn with sports or T-shirts. During business hours dark shorts are worn with a matching coat and either white or dark socks. For formal occasions the shorts have a satin stripe down the sides and are often worn with white coat and white socks.
Here in the Midwest very few shorts have been worn so far as the men seem to feel that they are not dignified. Whether more shorts are seen here in the Midwest and on the KU campus depends upon whether men prefer so called dignity or comfort. The answer will be revealed only as the calendar ticks off the days of future years.

Good Posture Can Be Yours
Walk like a beauty and you'll convince the world you are one. Start today to build your posture and self confidence from the feet up.
For perfect posture, authorities say to stand with your feet parallel, knees flexed, and weight balanced equally on the heels and toes but tilted slightly toward the front of the feet. Now tilt your hip bones up, tuck your stomach in, and your buttocks tightly under you. Lift
Iced Lime, Pink Champagne Are New Shades of Hair Dye
New York — (U.P.)— Hair-coloring has come a long way since the first woman dared to use a henna rinse. Now, her crowning glory has taken on the colors of something to eat or drink.
This looks like the bubbly beverage, and also about the same shade as the pink cotton candy you buy at carnivals. This, too, is suggested only for the woman, with daring.
The National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists is out with a long list of new shades—some bold, some subtle, but all a far cry from nature.
Miss Cosbot, who at the time of this interview, wore pale blonde, also mentioned a new shade called pink champagne.
Start with one of the bolder colors—called iced lime. It's pale green, reminiscent of a soda fountain concoction. It is recommended only for the self-assured woman who has both time and money to spend on upkeep, according to Miss Bernice Corbet, a Kansas City, Mo., beautician and member of the association's hair fashion committee.
"The new colors have more depth and tone," Miss Corbet said.
The association didn't get all the new colors from the fruit and vegetable world. Some were inspired by jewelry—star sapphire, topaz, amethyst and smoldering oriental ruby. This last tone is deeper than auburn, but minus any trace of orange seen in some of the red shades.
Still in the edible class is eggplant, a deep hue for the woman who's bored with plain black or brown locks but doesn't want to bleach.
"So do the new fashion colors. so the days of the pale and wan blonde are gone. The beiges and golden tones are back."
Among the gold tones is one called golden apricot. More along the lines of burnished orange is another shade—called mango, and the shade of the ripe fruit.
Incidentally, the hairdressers have their own variation of Dior's "flat look." They are pushing the "plateau look" in new coiffures—hair arranged with height and bulk at the temple, but flat as a mesa across the top of the head.
There are two colors left for the woman who insists on soft color—moonlight mist, a gray-blue shade, and orchid mist, which leans to the lavender.

Now you are ready to walk. Keep the same line-up and move your whole body forward with a smooth gliding motion by going from the ball of one foot to the ball of the other. Point your toes straight ahead, step lightly, and don't flap your arms. Beauty and poise come from an economy of motion.

OH, THAT SWEET AROMA—Terry Maher, college senior smokes the latest thing for feminine smokers. The pipes come in all colors and often have jewels and other decorations on them. The only problem for the girls is learning how to perfect the art of packing the tobacco.

The pipe. A coming female institution? From looks of things that could be so. They come in all colors and assorted sizes, ranging from "petite" and "grand." Some are jeweled and some are plain, to be chosen according to the personality of the smoker.
Well, Grandma smoked 'em and Rachel Jackson smoked 'em. and while only a few have been observed on the Hill, some bolder city lasses are already well stocked with pipes, and are in the market for hand tooled leather tobacco pouches.
One female pipe smoker says she thinks the whole idea is intriguing, and seriously enjoys the pipe. But, the girl said, there is a problem. It seems she can't quite get on to the fine art of loading the pipe with tobacco - it keeps going out. Maybe
Petticoats Are In Color Now
BOOKS
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO KANSANS
New York—(U.P.)-Petticats continue into winter-time popularity even with the new kilt-length skirts. The short petticoats, designed to show, include bright plaids and solid colors with pleats, flounces, ruffles and lace or net frills.
"FREE STATE FORTRESS"
Allen Crafton
Use care in washing the new underpinnings. Nylons, orlons and dacrons of tricot and woven versions should be washed by hand in warm soapsups. Don't wring twist or rub the synthetics, for this may "set" creases. After a couple of rinses, let them dip dry on hangers. Finger-press ruffles, pleats and trims while the garments are wet.
The kiltie skirt has revived another fad — snug-type pants as colorful as petticos, but not designed to show. Fitted knit pants have contrast trims, plaids ribbon banding, rosettes and fringes in bright and dark colors.

this would be a fine chance for a male veteran of the pipe to give a little tutoring in bowl tapping.
Cigarettes shocked the nation, but now that the tobacco habit, female style, is well entrenched, may be the pipes can hit the Hill without surprising too many.
Perhaps perfumed tobacco might even go on the market. That would be something — lavender fumes coming from a baby blue pipe bowl!
At any rate, the men would have their pockets full. Their dates give them not only comb, lipstick, compacts and perfume bottles to hold, but now add a pipe and tobacco to the list.
From all indications, fashion should be interesting this year. Flapper skirts a la Dior, and pipes featured as that "perfect little accessory."
Samuelson-Schell Engagement Told
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond A. Samuelson announce the engagement of their daughter, Shirley Ann, to Ens. Farrel Loy Schell, son of Mrs. Lillian A. Schell of Lawrence, and Thomas P. Schell of Amarillo, Tex.

He is a member of Acacia fraternity.
Whether you favor the Doir or the Chanel look depends upon whether you are built like a bean pole or an H. Either way you may have trouble looking like Jane Russell in the Paris styles this season.
