New Colors Give Added Zest To Spring Fashion Picture
Suits, the fashion star of a teen's wardrobe, are slim in line and even when paired with a boxy jacket are usually kept pared down to a slender silhouette.
New coats are narrowed as are both casual and dressy frocks that have only a slight skirt fullness accomplished with pleats or gentle gathers to achieve a "young girl" look.
Exetting new colors and color combinations give added zest to spring fashions. Grey flannel, light grey for suits and a darker shade for coats, takes first place in the fashion picture, while checks, in all dimensions and color combinations, carry over their huge popularity from last season.
Also to be seen in the rainbow of young fashions is delicate mauve, featured most often, along with other pastels, for fleece toppers. Navy takes on many hues. Sometimes it is light toned, sometimes it is almost black and is most effective when costumed with pale pink collar and cuffs, a red lining or sparkling white piping.
There is an unlimited number of bright fabrics this spring. Monotone tweeds and flannels are often used as a basis for contrast with fancy weave fabrics in suit and sportswear ensembles.
Rayons, alone or in garbardine and wool mixtures, abound and serve in suits designed for year 'round wear. Taffetas, failles and ottomans, again in rayon or pure silk, used for reversible coats, toppers and suits as well as for dresses, promise to become huge successes with the teen crowd.

finish. Cool and gay in a variety of weaves such as chambray, gingham, organza, pique and Pima cloth.
Newest in the fashion picture are the three-piece ensembles that in-stitch their slim skirt, a molded jacket and love suit, a jaunty square matching topper.
Modified tunic suits make fashion news as do suits with short little box
jackets and suits with gently padded hiplines.
Little shorty coats are straight-backed, pert with pocket and buttons placed in eye-catching positions. And even pyramid coats have control applied to their generous dimensions.

and fish net types can all be found on crisp cottons and sheers.
For a black and white note on suits and dresses, there are especially designed black and white poppies.

sleeve vents with cuffs, solve the problem of a graceful outlet for
the arms.
For important dates, there are ever-so-feminine sheers in colorful plaids, checks and small floral prints fashioned into redingote ensembles, filmy jackets, romantic overskirts, overblouses, stoles and sophisticated capes.
Black and white, alone or in combination, promise to sparkle ahead as the key colors of accessories this spring.
Perhaps the most versatile is the duster ensemble. A printed dress topped by a lightweight wool or wool-type duster is most exciting.
Newest jewelry combines jet with bright white beads or sometimes uses white beads or jet alone to produce the desired black-and-white outlook. Twisted necklaces, drop earrings and strand bracelets are available in stives for formal wear as well as daven'time ensembling.
Stoles, jewelry, flowers, gloves, handbags, scarfs, umbrellas and even handkerchiefs are designed in black, white or dramatic black and white duets this season.
Fringed and pocketed stoles, stoles with collars and wrap-around effects, and classic drape-around stoles come ready to dress up suits and dresses in all black, all white or slim black and white stripes of crisp taffeta, sleek satin and the popular sheer fabrics.
Gloves are newest at hand in all black, all white or banded with the contrasting color. They may be of a sheer fabric and cuffed in another fabric or of a sleek glace or cool cotton.
They, and other flowers, are available in two contrasting fabrics or in one contrasting-color fabric such as deep-pile velvet or crisp summer pique.

Handbags are all white and banded in black, or all black and stitched in White. Scarfs come in splashy black and white prints. Unbrellas are needle-slim, novelty-handled spires of all black. And even pocket handkerchiefs keep pace with all the black and white look in all black with a striking white monogram or in a dainty black and white floral design.

Heim-Brock Pinning Announced By Pi Phi
Pi Beta Phi announces the pinning of Miss Louise Heim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Heim of Ellinwood, to Mr. Robert Brock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brock of Sterling.
Spring Umbrellas Cheer Rainy Days
The announcement was made April 27 by Mrs. Dean Alt, house-mother, assisted by Ann Gorbutt and Carolyn Isern.
Miss Heim is a fine arts freshman. Mr. Brock was graduated from the School of Law in February and is a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity and Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity.
The weather forecast is April showers. But spring umbrellas will sing in the rain. High fashion colors and fashing metal handles add spice to spring rainwear and brighten up dreary days.
Walking-stick slim when sheathed, new umbrellas unfurl to more than standard size, give better-than-ever protection, with nylon and pure-dyed silk fabrics that shrug off spring showers and are possessed of weightless strength. Paris derived, crooked over an arm as jauntily as a Frenchman's cane, they strike a smart new note in rainwear fashion.
