The gal in the plum velvetteen and matching turban is already for a gala evening; her playmate beside her looks sung and smart in one of the new collarless, long torso suits.

Glamour Girl Wants Career, Not Society
711 Mass. St.
New York, Nov. 24—(UP)—Mary Lee Abbott, 19 glamor girl of 1940-41, gave up her amateur debutante standing today to turn to professional model, and make enough money to be an artist.
"I want to be a symbolic mural painter," she said. "I want to be on my own. I don't want to be just another butterfly."
roe, was her election of the tf experts. Her mother, Mary Lee explained made her debut when "Getting your picture in the newspapers was too awful." Her father, Henry Livermore Abbot of the Naval Military Intelligence in Washington where Mary Lee spends six months of every year, had as yet registered no protests.
"Mummy isn't as keen on art as I am," she added.
First blow to her Back Bay Boston mother, Mrs. Donald Munroe, was her election of the title of glamour girl by a group of
Five feet two inches tall, with blue eyes, Miss Abbott is the first blonde to be a glamour girl and is quite unlike her predecessor, Brenda Frazier, whom she doesn't even know. She doesn't like night clubs, had her first date last month, isn't allowed out after 1 a.m. except on special occasions, and doesn't drink or smoke.
Miss Abbott has a trick of raising her left eyebrow, a la William Powell. Although inexperienced in modeling, she will start at the top. Under contract to the Walter Thornton agency, she will get double rates—$10 an hour. And she won't pose for corset and hosiery advertisements.
"I'm really awfully excited about being called a glamour girl—but it scares me, too." she said.
She hopes to be paid $5,000 for this work by spring.
Coach F. C. Allen has purchased 16 special "fatigue" shirts for members of the University basketball squad. The shirts, made of blue gabardine, with long sleeves and a small Jayhawk on the left front side, are to be used for street and campus wear on basketball game days and on trips.
The new shirts will be treated as regular equipment and will be checked in and out each year. They will be used the first time Tuesday, the date of the varsity-alumni game.
