New Length, Colors In Spring Formals
Change appeals to the female in everyone of us. We like to try new hairdos, rearrange our rooms and, sometimes, exchange partners at a dance. Best of all, we like to change the way we look from one season to another. And this month, the start of spring, signals a whole new fashion outlook for us.
One of its focal points is formal wear. When thinking of after-five and the special kind of lift that something special brings, make it one of the bright new styles being shown this spring.
The formal becomes an ode to spring . . . when it's happily wed to the fashion-wise coed. We're going to be seeing new and elegant length in formals this spring—the Intermission length. It features a slight train in back with the front tilted up 8 to 10 inches off the floor. The traditional floor length will be back with us and it too has a new counterpart. It's being shown in a sheath with a floating back panel that has a train effect—just a suggestion of a spring breeze.
Nylon sheer will be a favorite in the short formals this year with a special spring touch in the printed sheers. Silk organzas and nylon sheers will share the lime-light in longs. Cotton prints that simulate a wispy look will be in the short formals, while silk prints will be good in the off-shoulder look.
There is a new sleeve coming into the spring night. A cap-off effect that

can be worn off or on the shoulder. The strapless sheath will be welcomed at many a spring dance for girls are already showing an interest in it.
The biggest evenings of the year are coming into flower now. This is their season. Plan your own color scheme, make it as off-beat as you please!
The new color mixture this spring is floral. A potpourri of rose petals, sprays of pinks and reds leaf-printed, a mysterious print of blue roses drowning in a deeper blue and green, a glissade of hot pink roses, turquoise flowers scattered on white silk—don't be afraid to blossom out, everyone will be doing it!
Anything outside the neutral color range is automatically interesting by contrast so add some fire to your wardrobe this spring. A new depth in color with maize-daffodil yellow, ruby pink, and all the hothouse prints you can imagine. Flowers heaped on silk and chiffon are all the more beautiful for blooming on a spring night.

The fashion world, busy reviving trends from the 1920's, has brought back headache bands.
For the girl just too tired of her tiara, one jeweler for example offers one diamond-covered head binder for around $200,000. It's so encrusted with "ice," a girl might get a true ache from wearing it. But the pain should be worth it.
Headache Bands Come Back With 1920 Trends
The jewelry firm said headache bands first came into vogue at the turn of the century, and were so dubbed because women used to wrap
their brows in cold compresses to treat migraine.
Its files are full of sketches of bands made for the late Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and other society leaders, who popularized them for grand occasions. The bands swung into full fad in the early '20's when the chemise arrived, said the firm.
The soft, fluffy hair-do then developed into the boy bob and the jewels went back in the family vault or else were put to other use.
Skies Don't Dull Easter Egg Hunt
Cloudy skies failed to dull the spirits of 33 orphans who attended the third annual University Veterans Organization Easter egg hunt Sunday. Alpha Delta Pi social sorority was co-sponsor of the event.
The orphans, aged 7-13, were brought to the campus from the State Receiving Home at Atchison. After a tour of the Museum of Natural History, the Easter egg hunt was held near the Memorial Campanile.
The group then went to the drill hall of the Military Science building for a picnic, games and a skit by the sorority members. Gifts and food were donated by local merchants.
Men's Heads Getting Bigger Men's heads are getting bigger all the time. The Cap and Cloth Hat Institute reported that the average male head size was $6\%$ 20 years ago. Today, most headwear purchased ranges from $7\%$ to $7\%$. Largest hat size found in most stores is $7\%$, which fits a man with a head nearly 25 inches around. Anything larger than that must be ordered specially.
Most lobsters are a dark color when caught and turn scarlet only when cooked, but occasionally an all-red specimen is taken from the sea.
