For the Saddle and the Court--trousers are biege whipcord and the scarf a brilliant yellow. On the Campus tennis courts the attractive frock shown above will set the pace. Of white pique, the dress is cut with flared knee-length skirt. The belt, hankie, and spherical buttons are Chinese red.
The University Coed who plans to canter to the City this weekend for the Horse Show will wear this fetching riding habit shown at right. The coat is chocolate brown with exceptionally large pockets. The English
Paris Dictates Bright Colors, Unusual Details
The Paris couture is snubbing all things somber. "Every color but neutral, with a dominant note c.7 blues and mauves goes," says Schiaparelli. Yet, some of her smartest frocks are black with white accessories—linen belts starched like mens' collars, little boys' collars worn back to front, and white hats and gloves.
Lelong features "gouache pastels" that are lovely in mauve, blue, or yellow. A wide range of new grays.
that are anything but dull, threaten to outmode tawny shades for fall. "Herb greens"—sage, Louisiana moss, sorrel, and those of similar shades—are advocated by Creed for autumn tailored costumes.
Some topical influence is evident in details. Schiaparelli's turbans have taken their motif from a Viking's horned helmet. Norse themes appear in wrought metal buttons; burnished gold shields and swords

Jay Janes Select 75 Candidates
Seventy-five women will be guests at the Jay Jane annual election tea from 3 to 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building, according to Ruth Spencer, c'41, president of the organization. These 75 women were chosen by the Jay James from the women attending the open tea last Wednesday afternoon. From this group 27 will be chosen as Jay Jane bledges.
Plans to aid in the registration of mothers during the Parents' Day program Saturday were discussed at the regular meeting of the organization last night.
Campus Wedges Are Comfortable
One reason for the popularity of wedge shoes is that they present unusual foot comfort. They give excellent support to the instep and ankle and create a firm base for walking. To lighten their somewhat heavy appearance, many of the new versions are trimmed with scroll cutouts.
Some of the best liked styles are made of elasticized serge or gabardine fabrics. They are usually combined with patent leather or kid. Very light in weight, they cling to the foot snugly and give it a well-fitted feeling.
Rain Slows Work On New Men's Dorm
Smile Please--attention, so you'll be all set to look life and all those terrifying strangers right in the eye.
Workmen on the new Battenfeld dormitory will begin laying the tile of the side walls next Thursday, according to Gus Nelson, superintendent of the workers.
Although work has been hampered by the rainy weather the foundation is nearing completion and will be finished by the early part of next week. At the beginning of the rainy weather, the crew was forced to work steadily through the rain, pouring cement piers before the rain-soaked earth caved back into the holes. A large part of the west bank slid down completely filling the west foundation trench.
Consider the First Impression You Make -- and Then How It Grows
In no time at all a considerable number of Campus bigwigs will turn their backs on college days and armed with the proverbial sheepskin, set out to make more or less of an impression on the world.
Supposing you, being one of those mentioned above, walk into a roomful of people. You've decided on this, of all places, to begin this next episode of your life, and are you on the outside looking in! Your girl friend's sister's college roommate, however, is a nice girl and does her duty when it's brought to her
They'll figure you out pretty quickly, in a superficial way, of course. Medium height, slim, stands
well, neat, clever dress—and what a swell shade of blue at that. They don't see into your soul, at first glance, nor suspect that you made Phi Beta Kappa (at least we hope not!), or that you intend to be the
world's greatest violinist. The next most of them will look at, when they've moved near enough for a close-up, is your eyes. Those are something you can't do much about—except, of course, give them the proper amount of shuteye, so they'll look bright and sparky. Your smile—not a sickly grin—counts a lot. The way you move your hands, the way you talk. If you stammer and stutter and study the carpet, or if you get all wrapped up in your watch or bracelet, you might as well be spouting "All Gaul is divided into three parts" as getting out a patter it's taken you months to perfect.
Spring seems to be practicing the old adage that if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, but if there is any reward for persistency, old man winter will certainly walk away with the medals regardless of the fact that spring is on top this afternoon with clear skies and warmer weather forecast for the immediate future. Taking a turn around the Campus, one can find that Lilac Lane has suddenly become a path for strolling rather than just a one-way drive, and although the University golf course is a little muddy and the Grove has acquired some of the aspects of Potter's Lake, they are two of the most popular spots on the Campus today for students who are fortunate enough to have leisure hours.
