Parties Galore This Weekend
Two new tweed suits, buttoned down the front, will help make any co-ed feel that spring is on the way.
Kappa Offers Scholarships
The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, announced today that applications are now in order for the three $500 graduate fellowships and an unlimited number of exchange scholarships.
The fellowships are open to any woman citizen of the United States or Canada who is not more than 30 years of age and has, or will receive by July 1, her bachelor's degree from any college or university where Kappa has a chapter. The applicant may or may not belong to the sorority.
Exchange scholarships are open only to Kappas who have completed at least two years of college work in American or Canadian schools. Since the proposition is reciprocal, both home and foreign schools cooperate in the exchange by waiving tuition for the visiting student.
The amount of the scholarship is dependant upon the financial need of the candidate, ranging usually from $200 to $400. The appointments in both cases are usually for one year, although a fellow may be re-appointed depending upon her past record.
Ingrid Frestadius, of Sweden, is studying at the University on a Kappa exchange scholarship awarded her last year.
Application blanks may be obtained from Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, and must be filed with the Kappa Kappa Gamma chairman of fellowships, Mrs. Robert L. George of Seattle, Washington.
Women's Suits Are Now A Permanent Fixture
Near the end of the reign of Napoleon III, Madame Musard, a great beauty of the time, shocked all Paris by driving her carriage to Worth's in a mannish suit.
Some suits, taking inspiration from 1910, are made of twill-like ribbed wool, and bound with gleaming satin bindings. They come in charcoal black and navy colors.
Once the first shock was past, suits swept the world. Londoners would wear nothing else and Americans demanded suits from their husbands' tailors. In three generations the suit has become as permanent a fashion as shoes.
Today suits are as much an indication of spring as crouches. Designers are offering as many different types of suits as there are personalities to wear them. Tweeds with pockets like duffle bags, elegant suits borrowed from 1910 which have a delicate air, short-jacketed little boys' suits, all will be found in stores this spring.
Sports suits depend upon simple lines, good fabrics, and colors of all shades to make them outstanding. They come in tweeds, soft, heathery Shetland in every color of the flower bed, and checked and striped wools. There is a trend of a return to the natural sloping shoulders.
The majority of the new suits feature the long torso line in their jackets. Boleros extend to the waist; cutaways to the hip bone; belted jackets to wrist level and tunics to fingertip length.
Kappa Sigma fraternity members and their dates will go black and white at their formal dinner dance Saturday night at the chapter house.
There are tunics that ripple, tunes that flare, tunies cut away in front and tunics that are straight and smooth to a low hipline.
You may have your choice of skirt for your suit because the bell-hemmed skirt, the straight, functional skirt, and the box pleated skirt are all equally good.
Clyde Smith and his band will provide music for the 110 dancers, during and after dinner. Program dances will be held until intermission.
Black and white will be the color scheme and will include the dates' black and white formalts, the house decorations, and the dinner menu.
Kappa Sig Party Saturday Night
Whether spring is early or late this year, a wardrobe will not be complete without a new suit and a dainty blouse.
The modernistic decorations will feature white murals on black backgrounds, picturing the fraternity badge and other figures. Soft lights will flood the rooms.
