April Fool's Day Pranks Precede Busy Weekend
If the pinnings of April Fool's day were real there would indeed be lots of news. The Gamma Phi Betas and the Kappa Kappa Gammas seemed to celebrate the first of April with much festivity. At the Gamma Phi house Mignon Morton put out her pin to "Mugger Thomas" and Janet Marvin to "Jay Hawk." A the Kappa house Beverly Fri-
zell put out her pin to Bob Blackwell, who unknowingly came over at seven and had to go through a line of girls as though it were the real thing.
At both houses dinner last night was slightly batty—pranks plus entertainment. Desert was served first, and at the Kappa house utensils were few and far between. At the Gamma Phi house Helen Marie Konantz impersonated the late Edna May Oliver. Wearing black lipstick, Helen Wilkins appeared as a model for a surrealist artist. Marianne Glad and Peggy McConnell entertained with a tap dance number.
The weather seemed to turn bad for the weekend, but it won't put a damper on the parties planned. Watkins hall will have their spring formal tonight, and couples will dance to the music of the Bachmann-Pope band. Tomorrow night is the date of the Jay Hop, and rivalry is high for the choosing of the queen.

Easter Parade In Wartime
New York, (INS)—American women, in contrast to their uniformed companions in the annual Easter parade, will be in color-gay tones covering all the shades of the rainbow. That's the prediction for this year's wartime Easter from the manufacturers who are just now putting the finishing touches on the clothes you'll wear Sunday, April 25, the latest Easter in decades.
The Easter parade, always a monopoly for the feminine of the sex, will be even more feminine this year with millions of men away in the armed services. But women, fashion experts confidently predict, will dress their prettiest for the sake of their morale, even if they stroll alone on Easter. This spring will see something more than the traditional fashions—a rebirth of conquery; gay and charming fashion and a minimum of tailored severity.
Easter styles previewed at the New York dress institute, trade association of the New York fashion industry, highlighted color and attractiveness. Because the lateness of Easter, dresses without coats will be the order of the day. New fashions will come into the open and not be snowed under with furs or heavy coats.

DE LUXE CAFE
The extremely slender silhouette, even more pencil-slim than necessary under the fashion-conserving WPB order, are the outstanding of the Easter fashions. Jackets too are short and slender, reaching just below the waistline or just above the hips. Jacket sleeves too, have been stortened, and the three-quarter length modified bell sleeve is one of the most popular.
711 Mass.
Jacket dress, once the most popular for Easter wear, are banned under the L-85 ruling. No dress may have a matching jacket, but jacket dresses are still with us and legally—designers make them in a two piece dress and use a gilet of white or color to give the jacket dress appearance. Redingotes, favorites of the older women, have also been
banned. But they've been supplaned by a new style—the dress is split up the skirt and has an inset of color. The same color is used for lapels and a froth of white fills in at the neck.
Very feminine styles—sheers, laces, chiffons and marquisette—make the late afternoon dresses. These have low V-necklines, or low rounded or draw string necklines and insets of lace and chifon are used to make them festive and flattering.
Cotton will have an important place in the Easter parade. Cottons have dressed up and now appear at even the most stylish occasions. Shantung will be used in profusion, as well as sheer wools, rayon crepes, sheer and chiffons, and combinations of rayon and wool and cotton and wool.
Hats will be as pretty as ever, loaded down with flowers, veiling and frills to flatter the wearer's face.
'Iron Lung Kid' Says He's Getting Well
Miami Beach, Fla., (INS) — Full of the high courage that has carried him through seven years of life in his "iron lung." Fred B. Snite, Jr., took time out today to tell the world he is going to get well.
Asked about his health today as he began his eight consecutive year in the "boiler" that has been his home since he was stricken with infantile paralysis while traveling in China, Snite said:
"I'm swell. Perfectly swell. And I've never been happier. Matter of fact I'm able to get out of the boiler as long as six hours each day now, though of course I still have to use the small chest respirator.
"Ive grown three inches taller since I've been in the iron lung, and I now weigh a neat 130 pounds."

The advanced clothing and Aust were wearing tailored suit labelled for the occasion with such information as hours of work and cost of materials required for the garment, and were ready to answer the many questions of the women. Some were working on a second project, so that various steps in the process, from designing through cutting out, fitting on forms made in the class, and finishing, were to be seen.
Remodeled formals, made newly wearable at almost no cost, and tailored spring coats of fine workmanship were on display.
In the attractively furnished dining room, tea and fancy sandwiches and cakes, made by the food preparation classes of Miss Edna A. Hill and Miss Viola Anderson, were served at two tables centered with arrangements of snapdragons in shades of yellow, rose, and orchid, which blended with the gold and soft green colors of the room. Presiding at the tables during the afternoon were Dr. Florence Sherbon, Mrs. Guy W. Smith, Mrs. L. N. Flint, and Mrs. Alice Monerieff.
Before leaving, the guests made a point of seeing the shining and well-equipped kitchen, complete with all modern devices, and many were heard to express the opinion of the
group that the affair had been most instructive and inspiring as well as delightful.
