SPRING COTTONS BLOSSOM OUT—Sue Suran, Hays freshman, wears a sissy shirtwaist dress, a popular style on the KU campus. Coeds rate these all-purpose dresses as perfect for classes or dates and so easy to launder.
Shirtwaist Dress Chosen As Trend In Spring Styles
DALLAS—(UP) Dallas manufacturers expect to strike oil in the fashion industry this summer with the shirtwaist dress.
"The shirtwaist unquestionably is the number one silhouette," said a spokesman for Lorch Manufacturing Co., the oldest fashion firm in Dallas. Basically, the shirtwaist is a simple, casual style, with buttoned bodice and open throat. This spring, women will be wearing it with lace ruffles up the front (this is called the sissy shirtwaist); with narrow skirt and kick pleat; or full skirt with unpressed pleats. Lorch featured one shirtwaister with voluminous skirt—accomplished with pleats within pleats, or stack pleating.
lines. One sophisticated version of the shirtwaist is in champagne-colored silk, with organza chiffon tied at the throat. This one was from Jean Thomson, a former custom designer in Chicago, now producing her first collection for national distribution.
The shirtwaist comes with full length, three-quarter length, above the elbow sleeves; or sleeveless. Its trim ranges from brass buttons, shown on a slim dress in beige silk linen from designer Charles Dickey, to rhinestones featured in several
The manufacturers stress the little care, light-of-weight fabrics because their customers live in sections of the nation where the temperatures soar in summer.
Hands Reveal Your Life So Heed Manicure Tips
Whites and pastels are the leading colors, and fabrics carry such air-conditioned sounding terms as chiffon cotton, rayon master sheer, and nylon georgette.
Your hands tell what your mouth does not utter. They reveal your life. Without saying a word, hands convey your occupation and much about your personal habits wherever you go.
Use Nail Cream

If your nails break easily, use added coats of polish for extra strength to support the nail. Buffing will give substance to paper thin nails. Buff in one direction only.
Are Hands Prepared?
Remove the dead cuticle with an oily cuticle remover. Do not use cuticle scissors because they cause the cuticle to become ragged and sore. Wipe the nail with nail remover after removing the cuticle. Just wiping the surface of the nail with cuticle remover will not give good results. The cuticle should be pushed back from the nail and loosened with a cotton-tipped orangewood stick.
Hot water is extremely hard on nails and causes a brittle nail condition. The nail should be massaged with a special nail cream which contains natural oils such as cholesterol.
If you regularly remove cuticle after washing lingerie or after bathing, it will not accumulate and hold the growth of the nail back by gripping it.
A few tricks in manicuring may be what you need to improve their appearance and put them at their best. It only takes a few minutes to give them a spring pick-up.
If you snag your nail, do not "save time" by tearing it off with the thought, "I'll file it later." Tearing the nail off removes more of the nail

than would be lost by filing it. It takes time to replace nails as they only grow one-thirty-second of an inch a week.
If you use nail enamel, plan your manicure just before going to bed. This will allow your nails plenty of time to dry thoroughly.

If you avoid wearing nail enamel because it is constantly chipping, your problem may be easily solved by wiping the wet polish off the edge of the nail with the tip of your finger. Do not apply nail enamel to an oily surface as it will not cling.

It is best to use a base coat, two moderately thin coats of nail enamel and an overcoat for longer wearability. By using two thin coats of polish instead of one thick one, you will have longer wear and you will find that two thin coats will dry faster.
Your nails should be shaped before soaking as the layers of nail tissue split if filed while they are wet.
Blouses To Be Part Of Basic Wardrobe For Summer
A wardrobe of blouses is in prospect for the summer. Classic shirtwaists are in all colors. Printed sleeveless blouses are gay with flowers. Striped blouses are in men's shirting patterns. White blouses have embroidered fronts like the "peeka-a-boo" blouses of long ago.
Chiffon and silk blouses are choice fabrics to co-ordinate with suits. Lace blouses team with crepe or chiffon skirts.
In fact, blouses get prettier by the minute whether ruffled, tucked or a classic style with a Peter Pan collar edged with tatting or Irish crochet. The selection is wider than usual this spring.
