'Cover-Up' Trend In Formal Attire
A romantic, truly feminine silhouette will brighten spring evening festivities. Sleeves pouff out unexpectedly, torsos are molded, and skirts shower out from fitted hiplines, some resplendent with lacy redingotes.
The "covered-up" trend is apparent, this spring, with tricky boleros that melt into the bodice, then whisk off for dancing, and higher necklines designed especially to show off sleeves.
Capetel sleeves sometimes appear with tiny accordion pleats for a "floating" effect. Others, huge and dramatic, resemble lantens.

Communist Materialism a Threat To Christianity, Backus Says
Defining Christianity and Communism by outlining their means and ends, Dr. O. P. Backus, assistant professor of history, concluded that the Communist emphasis on materialism rather than the might of Russia seems to be the biggest threat to Christianity today.
Speaking Sunday at the Lutheran Student association meeting at the Trinity Lutheran church, Dr. Backus said that "communism is a threat to Christianity because it emphasizes the material side of life; it destroys the church as an institution; it discourages the Christian life through propaganda and education and it checks missionary activity."
He said that Christians could fight communism by "de-emphasizing faith in materialism, by supporting the church in critical areas, and by practicing the Christian life personally and unitedly."
He said to attain these goals Christians should maintain the church as an institution, support them and try to live true Christian lives.
"By way of defining Christianity, the following Christian goals may be listed," he said. "First, the salvation of all men through faith; and second, the practicing of Christian principles in everyday life."
Economic and political pressures and even wars have been used as means to these goals in the past," he said. "It is possible that these means are being used to some extent even today," Dr. Backus added.
On the other hand, he said the two goals of communism are the material and economic equality of all men, and the gaining of political power to promote this equality.
He said that the means communists use to attain their idealological goals are: labor legislation, seizure of political power by laboring classes, accelerated development of

Width Of Hemline Depends On Waist
The width of the waistline should guide the width of the hemline, claims one famous fashion designer.
The exaggerated full skirt tends to give too much width to a silhouette with a not-so-narrow waistline and broad shoulders, says this designer.
However, if the waist is slim but high and the shoulders narrow, a full skirt with a slender hipline, a skirt with a yoke or pleated sections across the hips should be selected, for most flattering effects, she suggests.
