Mamie to Set Fashion Trend
New York—(U.P.)—Fashion circles report that Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower has chosen a rose-pink, full-length gown for the inaugural balls, Jan. 20.
The wife of the President-elect has declined to discuss the dress she has selected but fashion sources say that Mamie will wear a poults de soie gown, designed by Nettie Rosenstein. Poult de soie is a heavy, corded silk fabric. The dress, with full skirt, is jewelled all over.
Too much isn't known about the rest of Mrs. Eisenhower's inaugural wardrobe, but there will be plenty of grey filling her luggage when she packs for the White House.
Molly Parnish, New York designer often referred to as "Mrs. Eisenhower's favorite dressmaker," last week displayed a light grey, two-piece suit of the type the new First Lady likes, although the designer didn't say it would be part of the inaugural wardrobe.
Designer Hattie Carnegie also showed the reporters a light grey suit in something she called "tinker tweed." She described it as the type Mrs. Eisenhower had ordered. The suit has a rounded shoulder-line, and is buttoned fairly high at the neck with tiny, self-covered buttons.
Milliner Sally Victor has made many of Mrs. Eisenhower's hats. And last week she displayed one small, grey straw of the same grey as the Carnegie suit.
Although the designers are reluctant to talk about the clothes they are making, they discuss freely Mrs. Eisenhower's flair for fashion They say she will be a pace-setter, and one of the most style conscious First Ladies since Dolly Madison.

New Dictionary Idea Doubtful As Substitute for Webster's
By DOROTHY OGLESBEE
The time approaches when Scoop Snoop, journalism senior, must decide which portion of the fourth estate he will grace with his presence following graduation.
Here are a few of his gems. We have informed Scoop quite frankly that we feel his talents lie elsewhere.
Old pair of sox: a protective covering for the ankles, which leave the toes completely free for action.
Scoop's considering invading a field which is not highly populated at present. While digging through a ton of copy paper in search of a pencil, one of the Kansan's reporters came upon a rough draft of Scoop's masterpiece, a dictionary which Scoop declares will send Webster's Collegiate's editors into spasms of fear for their laurels.
Dream house: an enchanting little cottage which never needs repainting—unless, of course, you get water in your head.
College degree: a $5,000 investment which carries no money-back guarantee.
Error: a slight oversight if you did it—a case of gross negligence and downright stupidity if he did it.
Politician: a man who can tell you one thing, do the other, and
Dog: an animal much like humans, except that he begs your pardon when you step on him.
Miss Fitzgerald is a senior in the William Allen White School of Journalism and a member of Theta Phi Alpha sorority. Mr. Smith is a senior in the School of Engineering and a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. The wedding will take place in June.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray Fitzgerald of Jamestown, Kan., announce the engagement of their daughter Jeanne to Mr. Thurston Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph O. Smith of Kansas City North, Mo.
Fitzgerald-Smith Engaged,
Wedding Set for June
Newton-Armstrong Engagement Told
then convince you he was only kidding.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Newton of Chetopa, Kan., announce the engagement of their daughter, Margaret to Mr. Albert A. Armstrong jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Armstrong sr., of 5050 Neosho lane, Johnson county, Kan.
Breakfast food: a sort of cold substitute for bacon and eggs, specifically designed for people who get up late.
Candy bar: a rich source of quick energy—and you'll need it to pick the nuts out of your teeth.
MISS MARGARET NEWTON
Chewing gum: a noisome mass better off swallowed.
Miss Newton is a junior in the nursing department of the School of Medicine. Mr. Armstrong is a senior in the School of Business and a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
New York —(U.P.)— Anyone who thinks the pioneer woman went out with the covered wagon should meet the Begum Liaquat Ali Khan of Pakistan.
She is a mid-20th century pioneer, helping a new nation pull itself up by the bootstraps in much the same way our own nation struggled a century or so ago.
Pakistan Has New Pioneer
Baby: a small human being which, when water is added, generally springs a leak.
The Begum (pronounced baygum and meaning "high-born") is the new Pakistanian delegate to the United Nations General Assembly.
Active participation in world politics is a fairly new field for the small, vibrant woman. But she has been a passive participant since 1933 when she married Prime Minister Liqaunt Ali Khan. He was assassinated in October, 1951.
the achievement for which she is perhaps best known in her own country—fifth largest nation in the world, she said—is the founding of the All-Pakistan Women's association, a non-political, non-sectarian organization open to all women.
"It was the mass slayings of Moslems before our very eyes that awakened us. But if these hadn't happened, it would have taken us another 100 years to shed the veil."
With Pakistan's division from India in August, 1947, came the stream of refugees—an estimated 8,000,000—from India, seeking food, shelter, and clothing, and concentrating in or near the new capital, Karachi.
But as the Hindus left Pakistan and Moslems streamed in, the women shouldered the burden of caring for refugees with the same zeal as men, she said.
It is through this organization that she is working to help her people advance from poverty and ignorance to a place in the modern world.
"Never before had our women come forward. "Only one per cent of interview. "Only one per cent of them are literate."
Mr. and Mrs. V, C. Svensson of Atchison announce the engagement of their daughter, Valerie Carol, to Gerald Otha Curtin, son of Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Curtin of Wathena. Kan.
Engagement Announced For Svensson-Curtin
Miss Svensson is a sophomore in the College. No date has been set for the wedding.

Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority announces the pinning of Miss Barbara Landon, education senior, Kansas City, to Mr. Leon Wilson, Sigma Chi fraternity. Mr. Wilson attends Ohio university.
New Subtle Patterns Replace Flowers in Prints for Spring
New York—(U.R.)—Flowers seem to have disappeared from the spring prints.
Shades of the same color in small, indefinite patterns have replaced bright-colored flowers. Tweed, ermine, and leopard all serve as inspiration for the new prints.
24. 75.14.4 0.7.7.8.3.0
The prints that will blossom everywhere around Easter time are new and subtle patterns, according to the fashions previewed last week at the New York Dress institute's press week.
Designer Adèle Simpson has created dresses, jacket-dress costumes, and coat-dress combinations with both tweed and fur prints. Mollie Parnis uses white, gray, and black for a spring print dress topped with a black raw silk coat lined in the same print.
Print dresses have print stoles to match in all shapes and designs. Some are triangular with fringed edges; others are long streamers with a loop at one end to hook securely over one arm. There even are narrow狐 fur stoles lined with print to match the dresses in Mrs. Simpson's new collection.
With a few exceptions such as the fur stoles and jewel-studded cocktail dresses, American designers stress simplicity as the most important thing in future fashions.
That uncurved look (men probably won't like it) is too popular to be ignored. It suits every figure, short or tall, the designers insist.
Philip Mangone settled for a suit he calls "semi-fitted." It has a straight skirt, boxy jacket, and a low belt across the back that indents it only slightly at the waistline.
Many of these little straight jackets have loose-fitting necklines, so the collars seem to stand away from the neck. At first glance the jackets seem too loose, and the designers are anxiously waiting to see whether women will wear them that way or insist that a fitter take up a seam to make the collar fit more snugly.
tume look is the newest thing. Short evening dresses are shown with matching sleeveless coast; suit jackets are lined with fabric to match blouses, and fitted over-blouses turn skirts into dresses.
For all hours of the day the cos-
