Chi Omega's, Theta's, and Watkins hall women have scheduled their annual spring parties for tonight, but the Chi Omega's have covered their plans with a veil of secrecy—could be a surprise, who knows? Clyde Bysom and his band will swing it at Watkins hall for their May Day party and program dance. A large Maypole with vari-colored streamers has been erected and a profusion of yellow and white flowers will complete the decorations. Bright yellow paper daisies will serve as programs at the affair. Lavender, yellow, and green will be the predominant shades in the decorations at the Kappa Alpha Theta May party in the Memorial Union ballroom. Two large May poles have been set up at either end of the band stand, with white lambs capering upon the dark curtain between. A picket fence with spring flowers and pastel-colored
lowes and paternal co-
lored lambs along it, will surround the room. Clyde Smith and his band will furnish the music.

White Adds Beauty To Summer Brocks
Dark summer sheers look and feel cooler when they're frosted with something crisply white. Touches of lingerie are the first thought; white jewelry is another. Newly arrived in town is some of the second that gives the effect of the first.
Featherweight necklaces, bracelets, clips and earrings made of acetate are not only crisp and white but they also produce authentic crochet designs. One bracelet is a group of lacy stitches and the clips with daisy centers have matching leaves.
A double strand of balls that look as if they had just been turned out by a crochet hook make one of the newest necklaces. Bracelets match and there are earrings that are nail balls.
This jewelry comes in colors, too, and is particularly effective in black to wear on light frocks.
Afternoon and Evening--may choose something extreme like the white satin above which has an enormously full skirt.
Saddle stitching puts the final touches on this demure afternoon dress for the woman who's fond of simple clothes. For evening she
Gloves For Summer Are Cool and Sheer
6—GLOVES GO FOR SUMMER
6- GLOVES GO FOR SUMMER. New gloves for summer are cool and sheer and flattering to the hands. There are three suggestions. One is pure silk net with a crisp ruffle, another in a fine mesh creates a petal effect around the wrist, and the third has a mesh palm and a linenelike back the bold eyelet embroidery.

To Work On Kansan
Twelve members of the department of Journalism, accompanied by Ray Heady, instructor, will go to Kansas City, Kansas, tomorrow to work on the Kansan. This is the third trip to neighboring cities that the group has taken.
Frills Add Feminity To Costumes
When a new star appears in the fashion firmament it is always a matter of great excitement. At the moment, eyes are turned to this season's brilliant find—the lingerie collar and cuff sets for long-sleeved, covered-up evening gowns and casual dinner suits. Once you see them—so smart, so becoming and so practical—you will wonder why they weren't thought of long ago.
It is as though the designers took one look at the sophisticated appearance of this spring's slim dark evening outfits and decided that the most effective trim for them would be one that offered the greatest contrast. And these very feminine, extravagant and delicate frills were the result.
There are fragile looking ones of sheer mousseline de soie and crisp affairs of snowy white paup. Ap
parently there is no limit to their size or fullness. One astonishing collar is composed of a ruffle almost six yards long.
One is made of double ruffles of foamy white mousseline de soie. These are edged with narrow Val lace and baby rickrack braid. It is also shown in a delicate pale pink shade.
Visualize the rippled, ruffly effect of a jabot and imagine it extending all the way around the neck and coming to a point at the front like a fichu and you will get a picture of one dramatic group of these collars. They are quite wide, from six to possibly eight inches, and their tremendous yardage is in fold after fold around the neckline.
Another single ruffle of mousse-
line de soie appears to fasten at the
Sheer White Ruffle
Disarmingly young looking is the ruff of white pique that fits up around the neck in a circular rather than a V-shaped manner and ties with a bow of narrow pique loops. Its claim to fame, however, lies in its accompanying circular cuffs that may be fitted up under the edges of short or elbow-length sleeves. The cuffs themselves measure almost two yards around their outer edge and fall in soft folds over the arm.
front with three pearl buttons, but actually slips on over the head. This one is edged with small white embroidered dots that will make you think of a border of white confetti.
Although specifically meant for evening wear, any of these collars might be used as an elaborate touch for a dark afternoon dress.
Not so extreme in style or size is the collar with revers attached
that is made of moussequal de soie edged with a ruffle of the same material. It has deep gauntlet cuffs to match and may be had in pale flowery pink or blue. All three colors are smart accents for black or navy blue this spring.
Square Sailor Collar
Big square sailor collars of organdy are tucked and ruffled and trimmed with lace or big cat's whisker bows at the center front. Revers of embroidered organdy are tucked and edged with lace and have enormous pointed cuffs.
One set, made of a band of cut-out embroidered orgyand, a wide accordion pleated ruffle and two rows of lace, has matching cuffs of an unusual shape. They are wider at one end tha nthe other and can also be slanted across pocket tops for trim.
