It's Spring-Time To Change the Wardrobe
By KAREN HILMER Kansan Society Editor
The days are getting longer, the grass is turning greener, the lawyers are getting noisier, and the books are getting dustier—it's spring.
This is the time for lazy picnic days, sunbathing, baseball games,
tennis, boating at Lone Star, and it is also the time for the society
page of the UDK to expound a little on the season's fashions for
women.
The slim, trim look is being featured this spring in the way of "wallpaper," princess, and empire waistlines. If it is a suit you will be wanting for Easter Sunday, you will probably be wearing a modern version of the old "box" jacket, known as a "cylinder" jacket.
A brilliant new array of pastel shades such as "orange ice," "honey," and "azales" along with the old standbys powder blue, pale pink, and white are being shown as the predominant spring colors. Many pale pinks and deep reds are being shown together, thus breaking some of the old taboos against that combination.
No longer will the tiny collar adorn the neckline of the spring dress, not since the "1954 Big Collar Look" has entered into the fashion-wise picture. Huge white collars are being shown on navy, brown, and black linen and cotton dresses and suits.
In the blouse department, the short-sleeved man tailored blouse is the predominant style along with the calico-printed blouse with a white collar. There is also a revival of the "middy" blouse due to popular demand. This blouse is entirely shapeless, fitting loose at the waist, worn over the skirt and coming down to the hips. It comes in every shade ranging from the light to the very dark.
Polka dots and stripes are in style this season—shown on dresses, suits, shorts, bathing suits, and shoes. Full accordion-pleated skirts will be featured, worn over voluminous crenolin petticoats.
The common, ordinary shirt dress is a sign that this season will be a comfortable one. This creation has no waistline and is made exactly like a man's dress shirt. It is belted at the waist and is the modern version of the "sack" dress.
These are a few of the fashions we are supposed to be wearing this season, ladies.
Six Girls to Set '54 Beauty Standard
In Grandma's day it was the Florodora Sextette who achieved fame and fortune by setting the standard for feminine beauty, but in 1954 it will be the six prettiest schoolgirls chosen in the Palmolive beauty contest which is now underway and will run until June 15.
Six ladies will be brought to New York, each with a member of her family, where they will live at one of New York's hotels, and taken to see the city's sights from Chinatown to Rockefeller Center, from the UN to Times Square.
They will dine at "21." Toots Shor's, the Stork Club, and go to the hit shows of Broadway. Each girl will receive a $1,000 wardrobe, specially selected for her by a leading fashion designer. They will appear on a coast-to-coast television program, where the grand prize winner will be announced. The most naturally attractive of America's loveliest girls will be awarded $1,000 in cash. The 100 girls who are runners-up will win overnight cases valued at $25.
High school or college girls between the ages of 15 and 23 may submit a photograph which must be accompanied by two wrappers from Palmolive soap. Entry blanks may be obtained wherever you buy Palmolive.
