Meguiar Entertains With Tea
One of the newest of these fitted coats (a brown Persian lamb) with frilled frock coast peplum in back. The round pill box hat is matching lamb, trimmed with broad streamers of brown felt. The evening dress is of sea blue taffeta, whose wide skirt is edged with a deep ruffled flounce, repeated in the off-the-shoulder bodice. The dinner gown has a full black taffeta skirt, topped by a fitted jacket of horizontally striped black and rose chenille.
Pi K.A.'s Plan Party For Friday
Pledges of Pi Kappa Alpha have been scouring the city the last few days for old cardboard and signs for the chapter's Twelfth Street Party which is held with Dale Brodie and his band Friday.
Running short of cardboard yesterday the boys asked Eddie Penchard of Bricks for the loan of the signs that are in the basement room where Hill politicians often meet. Penchard agreed until it was discovered that the signs made up the wall of the room.
At the present the sun porch of the house is well covered with the cardboard which makes a blackout. Other features of the party are signs, altered and unaltered; silhouettes of the boys and their dates; the Twelfth Street Rag, newspaper for the party; painted designs for wall decorations; and a typical night spot that one might find on Twelfth street in Kansas City.

The Coed's Fancy Turns To Spring --- And Clothes
The weather may be cold and windy but that doesn't mean that spring isn't just around the corner as any co-ed can tell by looking at the fashion magazines and stores. The designers those powers that be, have already determined what the smartly turned young woman shall wear.
They have taken the war seriously and the military influence can be seen in the new tight fitting spring coats with epaulettes on the shoulders and huge patch pockets, a direct steal from the French military officers.
Brightness can be introduced into drab winter frocks and suits by the restrained use of vivid colors in the form of belts, bags, gloves, and necklaces.
Patch pockets aren't limited to coats, however. They are found on every type of dress, from the date dress to the tailored school skirt. On many skirts they are attached to the belt by loops.
While it is still cold enough for fur coats, a taste of spring can be obtained in the smart pastel wool dresses worn under the coats with turbans in matching or contrasting colors. The colors are the same as the ones worn last year but they appear under new descriptive titles, such as blue haze, which is a misty grey blue, and hot pink, a vivid rose. Royal blue is now known as blue streak and foam green is a soft shade of green.
Gabardine seems to be the most promising fabric for the beloved shirtwist dresses, skirts and shirts. According to those in the know, no
wardrobe will be complete without at least one gabardine dress in one of the newly named colors which includes a soft shade of tan known as natural.
While it may be sixty outside and too cold to wear the new styles, it is never too cold to think and plan a new spring outfit.
