Spring Fashions Swish Past
Christopher Dort
Spring has begun to haunt KU. Last night the University Women's Club and the University Newcomer's Club presented a Spring fashion show in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
According to the fashions supplied by Weaver's, this spring season promises gayety and lots of bright color. The first part of the show was devoted to the new color titled "cherry fizz."
Ladies hose will match their ensembles this season. Sky blue hose, light violet hose, and sky-blue pink hose will be the rule, not the exception. These colorful hose will merely be tinted in order that they can blend beautifully with the costume.
Although there is lots of bright color in store for spring, white has never been better. A touch of pure white as an accent will add crispness and freshness to the ensemble.
"We think it's nice that women have found their figures again," said Mrs. Betty Broat, narrator of the show. This is definitely the case in the spring styles. The sack is out and the delicately feminine waist-line is holding prominence in the world of fashion. Empire lines are still very good and adapt themselves well to summer fabrics.
Cotton prints are good this spring. Checks, large and small, are featured in many styles.
A spring for children seems to be in the air. Mother and daughter dresses have achieved great popularity. In the picture to the left, Christopher Dort, 3, son of Wakefield Ford Jr., associate professor of geology, aptly shows how the younger set books in their best.
Bathing suits as shown in Kansas do not resemble the convertible bikini that we have seen in national magazines. Here the one piece suit is still number one. The backs of the suits are scooped low. Knit fabrics will gain new popularity this spring when we are "down by the sea."
Grinstead to Represent KU at Theta Sig Dinner
Miss Frances Grimstead, associate professor of journalism, will attend the Matrix Table of Theta Sigma Phi at the Hotel Muehle coach in Kansas City Saturday evening. She will represent the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information. Representatives of other schools of journalism in the area will also be special guests at this annual dinner of the honorary professional fraternity for women in journalism.
Several outstanding women who will be honored include Mrs. Mamie Boyd of Mankato, well known Kansas newspaperwoman. She will receive the award of 1859 Woman of Achievement, to be conferred by the Greater Kansas City Alumnae Chapter of Theta Sigma Phi.
Mrs. Boyd, now in her eighties, works regularly on the Jewell County Record, owned by her son, Frank Boyd Jr. She was recently named Kansan of the Year by the Native Sons and Daughters, and has received the "outstanding Kansas woman journalist" certificate from Epsilon chapter of Theta Sigma Phi at the University of Kansas, as well as a distinguished service award from the department of technical journalism, Kansas State College, her ma mater.
Speaker at the Matrix Table at 7 o'clock Saturday evening will be Ilka Chase, world famous author, lecturer, actress and television personality. Tickets are still obtainable by making reservations with Mrs. William B. McLease, 3204 West 72nd St., Prairie Village, Kan.
Cost of Spring Slippers Is Low
Although the cost of living has risen over the past 10 years, shoe prices are still at the 1949 level. Fancy, pointed toes and flaming spring colors won't increase the price you pay for those new spring shoes.
Fashions are fancy but prices are "plain" when it comes to footwear for spring.
Love is the most fun you can have without laughing.
