Gay Rainwear Greets Spring
LET IT RAIN—Norma Schraeder, Wichita junior, won't worry about April showers as long as she has this sporty raincoat for protection against unpredictable spring weather.
AWS Fashion Board Release
Spring finds KU coeds in need of an all-weather wardrobe to cope with unpredictable weather.
Colorful raingear is an important asset that keeps spirits high on the soggiest days. Don't be guilty of duplicating the weather's gloomy days by looking like them. Select fresh spring shades instead of drab grey and browns.
Fashion experts forecast an elegant spring filled with a colorful array rainwear. The two most popular types of coats this spring are the laminated version and the standard all-wearcoat.
THE LAMINATED coat is styled in a knitted fabric with a laminated foam backing. The foam backing keeps the coat looking fresh and unwrinkled since it springs back after folding or crushing.
The laminated coat has other advantages. It can be treated with a water repellent and can serve as an all-purpose coat as well as a protection against rainy weather.
Laminated coats offer the warmth needed during the first chilly days of spring since the foam backing prevents air from seeping through the knitted fabric. However, the coat is very light-weight and not bulky.
COLORFUL FABRICS in laminated wear provide a lift on cloudy days. Most raincoats have been beige, navy blue or gray in color. Laminated coats come in bright colors and light pastels.
Even with all their advantages, laminated coats are relatively inexpensive.
All-weather coats are available in various styles and shades. Some feature bold brass buttons for the military look while others are styled with Chelsea collars and close-set buttons in the newest look for spring.
BRIGHT ACCESSORIES add the magic touche ht that changes a limp, dowdy look to a fresh, sparkling one. Gay umbrellas in vivid solids combined with coordinated gloves and handbag add a dashing touch.

By Bobbie Bartelt (Assistant Managing Editor)
Since the days when Cleopatra ruled the Nile Valley women have relied on artificial methods and products to enhance their beauty and charm.
Although we no longer consider beauty spots and high powdered wigs "high style," many of the trends in make-up and hair styles which marked earlier historical periods have been continued or revived in 1965.
THE EARLY EGYPTIAN princesses dyed their hair to deep shades of black. Today the trends in hair color seem to be toward lighter, more subtle shades-platinum, silver fox, champagne white, and pink ice.
Eyes, whether demure or exotic, daring or seductive, have long been a point of concentration for the fashion "elite."
Early Egyptians extended their eyebrows and stained their eyelids much as we do today. Beauty marks placed near the eyes and in some cases, elaborate masks used to set off the eyes, were fashion leaders in the 16th and 17th centuries.
ACCORDING TO the December, 1964, issue of Vogue magazine, such exaggerated styles may be on the return. Pictures in this magazine show eyes coated with gold or silver sequins—from lashes to the tips of the brows. Also pictured were peacock feathers extending outwards on both sides of the face,

POWDER OF VARIOUS descriptions has long had a place on milady's dressing table.
The moderns favor the natural, almost to the point of the Puritan plainness, look.
The heavy cake make-up became popular in the United States during the Roaring Twenties. Along with this heavy make-up went the blood-
