Hats Flatter Hair Styles
Whether to conceal or reveal your coiffure is the important question in millinery design for spring 1951. And fashion's abrupt switch from the close-cropped bob to the luxuriant chignon has a two-in-one answer.
A "sweetheart sailor" of chalky white straw, with white lilac blossoms massed at the back, falling lightly over the hair on narrow green velvet ribbon streamers. Chanda design.
Level-headed hats and hats with a suggestion of a list to the right look right with both short and long hair.
Favored silhouettes include the sailor, the bonnet, the pill-box, beret and turban with ample crowns and usually, moderately wider brims.
To avoid any suggestion of heaviness, many hats are set off the brow on tiny "platforms" of velvet or ribbon and brims curve softly from front to back or side to side.
To accommodate the new chignons ginned on or real) hats are frequently cut out at the back or have their brims tapered to nothing at the nape. Flowers, veiling, ribbons and scarves point up the back-interest created by the close harmony between hat and hairdo.
Flowers, leaves and berries are wonderful in their variety and dainty size. Small flowers are woven into throw garlands, curving around the crown or brim or in a crescent over the chignon, or they may beattered lightly over the entire hat.
Dewdrops of pearl, rhinestone,
quin and crystal beads make
string flowers shimmer softly on
afternoon and evening hats.
Straws are infinite in their variety, traditional favorites like milan, antung and leghorn are dyed in cutting new shades, piped or faced with contrasting straws and fabrics, on dimly through tight-stretched filling or lace and combined with her materials such as yarn or quin bandings.
Sheer hair straws are intricately cated or patterned with fine silk straw braids, laces and embroidery. Novelty straws range from insuluent candy types to nubby utures like breakfast cereals and ery type of straw is woven in ambation with others into texture terns, plaids, tweed-like combi-babs and tone-on-tone effects.
Mullinery fabrics have their own individuality this spring. Straw oats are woven like shiny, ribbed mille, in shantung weaves and airy meshes.
Straw yarn is crocheted in lace patterns, combined with pastel squins, angora yarn and raffia. Versatile casual hats are crocheted in sewed row-on-row of nylon, as ell as the familiar grosgrain. printed cottons, calicos, pique, orandy and velvet are used alone or a combination with straws.
It is distinctly a colorful spring and even the perennial black, navy, natural and white hats are generally immed with color.
Mauve and violet tones, along with soft pinks and blues, rank high in flavor with feminine wearers of all ages. But there are also lovely soft hues of lime, moss and deep greens, buttercup tones and occasional hats of brilliant emerald green or electrifying blue and tuchia.

Engineering Students Once Had Own Blarney Stone
Bv CHARLES R. PRICE
The engineering students once had their own blarney stone, and, in an annual ceremony at a dance on St. Patrick's day, they kneeled and kissed the stone. The stone is gone, but the annual ceremony has evolved into the present-day Hob-Nail Hop.
The red granite stone had an eyebolt, embedded in it to facilitate carrying. Although it weighed nearly 200 pounds, the engineers took it to their annual party.
Between March 17's the stone was kept in old Fowler shops. About 20 years ago it disappeared. Who do you suppose be blamed?
The Law students—the long-time fourier partners of the engineers.
feuding partners on
there were several run-ins be-
tween the two groups before 1919,
but accurate records on the feud
weren't kept until that year.
A group of engineers on their way to classes in Blake hall one February morning found the law bunch on the front steps of Green hall. The engineers alleged that the lawyers were loafing there and had no good purpose in mind. The engineers took advantage of the wet snow to make snow balls, and in a few minutes the portico was as empty as Massachusetts street at midnight.
That noon a challenge was sent to the lawyers to meet the engineers on a "snowy field of honor" in front of Fraser hall. The barristers were willing to fight, provided the engineers would send a fair number to the hostilities and would not try to overwhelm the lawyers in number. Later in the day, because they were leading a fight for student control of student enterprises, the lawyers answered that they were asking for certain privileges and did not care to engage in a childish free-for-all that might displease the senate.
weight but his fists did. The group was evenly matched and were mopping up the sidewalk with each other when a faculty member stopped the little insurrection.
In 1924 the University played right into the hands of the engineers by unveiling the statue of "Uncle Jimmy Green" right in front of the law barn. From 1928 to the present, this statue has received more coats of different types and descriptions than were known to the college Joe's of the '20's who thought the long-haired racoon garb was the latest thing. However, the engineers don't take the blame for all the attempts on the law school's famed land mark—it seems that our update cousins at "Silo Tech" have done their share.
The annual dance has been known by several different names but for the last 15 years it has been called the Hob-nail Hop and a queen has been elected. Usually it isn't much trouble to get a pretty girl to be queen of Hob, but in 1946 they almost didn't have a queen.
The night of the dance, a group of lawyers lured 11 of the 15 queen candidates off under false pretenses. The lawyers took the "kidnappes" to a dinner and dance in Topeka where they claimed that "the candidates had more fun than they would have had at the engineers' dance anyway." The engineers, who said, "it's good to see a little life in the lawyers," also accused them of stealing the queen ballot box. The lawyers said it was retaliation for past painting of Jimmy Green's statue.
