KU women will borrow style from their country cousin when they go shopping for clothes this year. The country-look came to town this spring and took her place in fashion, and her city counterpart has refused to let her go back.
The country-look lends spring fashion a rustic charm. As its name implies, this look has taken its features from nature.
The green of mossy trees was taken and put into fabrics for dresses and skirts. Greys were made as dark
KNEE-TICKLER—The latest in college fashion proves doubly popular in hopsacking, spring's newest fabric. Kathy Baysinger, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, chooses a blouse by Ship'n Shore and skirt by Bobbie Brooks.

The KU woman's newest fashion fad looks all the world like her country cousin's low slung blue jeans. This is the hip-hanger or hip-hugger, which insists on riding on the hipbone rather than fastening at the waist.
Hip-hangers can be found in slacks, shorts, skirts and swimming suits. A long sweater or long blouse can be worn with the hip-hanger but in most cases the midriff is bare.
Prints are as bold and friendly as the next-door neighbor.
And the sweet "Dear Liz" ruffled look continues to be popular. Ruffles and pleats can be found on almost any type of outfit, and with the couture emphasis they are sure to remain on the fashion scene.

Being a lady is a state of grace that women would like to achieve and that men would like to be able to take for granted.—Russell Lynes
A lady is a woman who makes a man behave like a gentleman.
