Hill Greeks Plan Initiations
Blouses Are 'The Thing' This Spring
Frothy and frilly as a valentine, are the batiste blouses to be worn under tailored navy and black suits and dressier cardigans. The idea is carried over from last season but only serves to emphasize the trend toward softened and feminized styles of this spring.
The new blouses are known by a multitude of names, cherub, doll, or baby blouses, but they all are made of soft French finish, sheer batiste with yards of imported Valtype lace with rows of baby tucks.
The orchid petal blouse, one of the most unusual of the blossoms offered, has a yolk composed of delicate pin tucks made to form petals around the neck. Inside the petals, are rows of lace.
Eyelet embroidery will be important this spring on the flower fresh organdies, used either as an all-over pattern or on organdy vestees set in the batiste blouses.
As a change from last spring, many are made with soft, flowing, long bishop sleeves, although short puffed ones will be more popular in the late spring months.
If you are not the feminine type but want to rejuvenate last year's spring suit or set off your new one, try the precision-cut, classic, tailored shirt. This season's rayon or silk shirts come in the new colors with stitching, pleat work, and pin tucks. Various styles of collars are offered and include the rounded boyish or Johnny collar, the club collar, the Barrymore collar and the practical hi-low collar, worn up or down.
No matter what type selected, the serving suits call for new blouses.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!
"GONE WITH THE WIND"
AN OPEN LETTER: It's surprising the number of rumors one hears about "Gone With the Wind." The Dickinson Theatre has an average of 28 phone calls every day asking if "Gone With the Wind" will be cut when it is shown in Lawrence. In every instance the party calling has stated they heard the rumor that "Gone With the Wind" would be cut in Kansas. This is a false rumor. "Gone With the Wind" will be shown in Lawrence at the Dickinson Theatre exactly as it was shown in its world premiere at Atlanta, Kansas City and every city in America. There has never been any intention of cutting the picture in any way. The running time of "Gone Withe the Wind" is 3 hours and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission making a full 4-hour show.
Stan Schwahn,
Dickinson Theatre.

The shirtwai dress, year-round favorite of the co-ed, makes its spring appearance in flowered print silk with pleats in the skirt.
For Valentines Day,
The Coed Wants Flowers
One of the oldest ways of saying "I love you," on Valentine's Day, is with flowers. This year the florists are helping the swains with the problem of what to send to that "best girl."
If you are fortunate enough to receive a nosegay, you will be faced with the problem of how to keep it fresh. Remove part of the paper bound around the stems and put them in water. The flowers will lost longer if the stems are left wired together, the florist advises.
A colonial bouquet or nosegay made up of roses and spring flowers, surrounded with a paper frill and tied with yards of ribbon, will make any co-ed's heart beat faster. The nosegays come in a wide range of prices, varying from inexpensive to more costly ones.
Next in popularity are the Valentine corsages, including gardenias, violets, and camellias in different arrangements.
Orchid corsages are made for the man who really wants to show his appreciation. Formerly they were surrounded by lilies of the valley, but due to the war, the plants can no longer be obtained from Germany. For the benefit of the man with the slim purse, sweet peas make the nicest showing for the least money.
Mixed spring bouquets make a close third in popularity for Valentines while potted plants of hyacinths, violets, and cinerarias trail behind. According to the florists, students send cut flowers while town people prefer the growing flowers for homes.
If the choice of flowers is left to a man, the florists say, he will select red roses. Women realize the wide variety grown to choose from and order many types. Their favorites are the Talisman roses and the new English rose, the Queen Mary
