AFTER FIVE—Sally Brown, Wichita sophomore, wears a modified trapeze. The deep white yolk emphasizes the triangular shape of the dress. Fitted in back, the dress allows ample space for movement and adds the graceful flare so necessary for a finished look.
Trapeze Invades Campus
Trapeze, one of the latest silhouettes, now invades the campus. Clothes-conscious coeds will see to it that no social event is without at least a few of these dresses.
Modified from its earlier extremes, the trapeze is found in flattering collegiate styles. It is a new shape which will definitely stand out in any gathering.
Trapeze is the name given fashions narrow at the shoulders and swinging into a wide triangle at the hem. Skirts are shorter to balance the effect.
It is a moving shape that appears for every hour of day or evening, in tweed, chiffon, linen, sequins on tulle.
A particular favorite of coeds, is the trapeze that is slightly fitted in front with a wide, free-flowing back. This fashion creates the desired illusion without concealing the figure.
Two-piece suits are particularly adaptable to the trapeze look. The jacket, closely fitted at the shoulders, flares out gently at or above the waist. The skirt, stiff with Fellon lining, continues the line with a wide, flaring effect.
Although this new trapeze sil-
Donis Edmonds, McLouth sophomore. "I think females need all the help they can get and this certainly isn't helped."
Mike Smith, Mission junior, "It looks like an upside-down funnel. In time it will be nice, but that will probably be in ten years."
John Girtoto, Pittsburg senior.
"The sack is last year's fashion, the trapeze is this year's. What will be next?"
Jan Rufenacht, Ness City senior,
"I think it is too extreme a change from modern accepted style to become popular."
nouette has won a considerable amount of admiration and appeal, there is still much controversy toward it as expressed by university students.
Ralph (Gabby) Wilson, Overland Park sophomore. "It does absolutely nothing for a girl. Only the trapezes should wear it."
Polly Smith, Belton. Mo. junior.
"Personally I don't like it. It doesn't seem to do justice to any girl's figure."
Ann Sutter, Leawood senior. "I wouldn't be seen dead in one."
Homecoming Meanings Vary
Homecoming means various things to different people. Tudy Youngberg, Lawrence senior, and president of the Associated Women Students, has this to say:
"My reaction toward homecoming has changed since my freshman year. Then, I was enthralled with college. Homecoming was a big pageant built around a football game. To the student who has not visited a large university at homecoming, it is an awesome spectacle.
"This is my last real homecoming as an undergraduate, and I tend to think of it as more than a football game, decorations, and a dance. I begin to realize my pride in the University and to take time to think about my experiences of the four years.
New Trend in Men's Fashions
"KU alumni returning for homecoming are given a chance to relive college days. The spirit of university feeling and of still belonging is more prominent than in reunions. Seeing the University alive with school spirit and old friends one forgets, for a day, that he has graduated and left the campus."
The new trend in men's fashions is in terms of a new stitch, the shawl collar. In this style collar, the newest entry is the angled shawl collar dinner jacket.
The shawl collar is new in the respect that the lapels are gently rounded and no longer have points. It follows the formal cut of a tux practically to the last detail and provides a smoother appearance.
Light wool fabrics, new this year, would make any man feel like a million dollars. These same wool suits are made of materials that shed wrinkles within 24 hours just by hanging in a closet.
There is a new shape in men's suits too. The shoulders follow the natural more narrow line. The waistline, also new, is higher and shaped to fit.
Buttons, in agreement with the current ivy league look, are higher. Tapered trousers fit nicely into the trend by being smoothly cuffless.
How does the KU student feel about these new trends? Tom Gee, Leavenworth senior, said:
"The style experts have, in one fell swoop, come into their own and created a style which will be copied many times in the next hundred years."
Dave Wilson, Kansas City, Mo. senior, agrees. He said, "The shawl collar gives a sophisticated collegiate look."
The feminine point of view seems to agree with the masculine opinion for once. Marty Rowe, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said, "I think they're very smart and neat looking."
Cloche Is Tops In Hat Fashions
A woman ordinarily has trouble keeping anything "under her hat" but this season it will present no problem as the latest style is the cloche.
The cloche, a revival of the 1920's is a turban type that fits snugly all around the head and conceals most of the hair. It is seen in a wide variety of fabrics and colors and is suitable for practically any costume.
The Russian influence has given us the striking Cossack chapeau. It is at its best in fur, and because fur is expensive this style is being shown almost exclusively with high fashion designs. It is an elegant addition to a suit or tailored ensemble.
For the smart campus coed, the pert French beret is back and has a new twist. It is being worn in plaids and tweeds to match and complete ensembles. For dressier occasions it is shown in velvet and boasts a gold crest or monogram in the front.
The delightful, multi-colored feather hat is also taking its place among the top ranking feminine fashions. This hat is perfect for daytime wear and adds just the right amount of brilliance to any outfit. The feather hat comes in several styles from the cloche to variations of the coolie and wide-brimmed sail hat.
Use old nylon stockings to store gladiola, canna and other flower bulbs that are dug up in the fall. In this way they can easily be hung in the basement and can still receive plenty of air.
