For women only!
For the first and last and only
time during the year the girls
have to invite and fete the boys
to an evening's entertainment.
Yep, its the annual Mortar Boards'
Black Masque ball that's coming
up a week from tomorrow night
so get your date all sewed up be
fore the wolves wearing" skirts
start hunting.
So now the problem is how to
ask some lucky boy to the vice
versa party. According to the best
authorities (seniors, they've had
three years experience so know
all the angles) there are several
satisfactory ways in which to ap
proach a man on the subject of a
date.
Perhaps the simplest and most
widely used method is to ask him
at the ball, for the general prac
tice in the past has been to ask
the fellow who asked you to the
ball. Just say, "Oh, by the way,
don't forget the Mortar Board
Gone Are the Days . . .
War Curtailment of Women's
Hose Introduces Rayon Mesh
BY JEAN GLOTFELTY.
"Gone for the duration" is the
stock phrase these days. And the
fairer sex is losing out from top
to bottom. First it was curlers
and peroxide; then girdles; and
now the shapely or otherwise
limbs of the college girl have be
come martyrs to the cause.
There will definitely be no more
silk or nylon stockings until the
end of the war and just when we
were learning how to keep our
nylons up, too.
A few pairs of silk or nylon still
may find their way into .he store3
now and then, but this supply is
practically exhausted; in fact, it
s exhausted because the salesgirls
get there first. Imported Eng
lish lisle is ouc, too, except where
certain stores have a few pairs on
hand.
What to Do?
So what are we supposed to do?
The answer is what we were afraid
it would be. Rayon, cotton, and
more rayon. Fine rayon mesh,
coarse rayon mesh, rayon lisle,
and just plain rayon. But it can
be obtained in any desired shade
for a dollar and up for good
weaves. Except for the added care
necessary in handling rayon
WAVES, Beauty Shops,
UN Coeds Like Short Hair
Those war snortages seem to
change a lot of things. For now
the great question that most of
the coeds are trying to answer is,
'Should we leave our tresses long
and be glamorous or cut them
shore and look trim and effi
cient?" Many of the girls are
doing the latter and snipping their
lovely locks.
The idea seems to have origin
ated with the WAACs and WAVEs
because it is a requirement for
them to have their hair one inch
above their collars.
Beauty salons report that the
great popularity of shorn locks is
due chiefly to their ability to make
customers look neat. Short hair
is also very simple to take care
of, which is an important factor
in these husv sr times.

Those in experimental radio inter

Positions are also offered for
women high school graduates be

and an interest in radio, passing a
personnel interview and aptitude

If a sufficient number of women
indicate interest in these positions
the Signal corps win sena a rep

. . . Ana" Leg Make-Up
stockings serve to catch the male
eye as well as silk.
Previously scorned cotton stock
ings are on the up and up for
sport and school wear this year.
Fine cottons in a rib or tancy
weave can.be obtained in many
colors from the customary tans to
red, green and yellow.
In these brilliant hues, milady's
legs will trip merrily about their
war work, and snags and runs
will be a forgotten evil of "the
good old days."
The only alternative to cotton
and rayon is leg makeup. And
next summer will see a lot of it.

party next Saturday night. I'll cll
you and let you know our plans."
Fun to Phone?
But perhaps you feel you should
invite him by telephone before th
Ball. In that case plan to spend
at least three quarters of an hour
trying to get in on a fraternity
house phone. After you get hold
of your chosen lad the rest is ea.y
and you're all set. Of course, you
can always wait for the right man
to call you then spring it on him
all of a sudden like and catch him
off guard. You've got the date
cinched then.
For those who want to be more
ingenius and deliver their invita
tions in a Httel more startling way
we have little to suggest. You
might send it by carrier pigeon, or
throw it on his front porch
wrapped around a brick.
But a word of warning. . . .Treat
your date sweetly on the night of
the Military Ball, that is if you
don't want him . to remember
everything on the night you have
to play escort and magnify details
a hundred fold.
On Time for Once.
For instance, be on the dot if
not ready a few minutes before
hand. If he has to wait for you,
you'll have to wait 15 minutes for
him for every minute you kept
him waiting. Don't load him down
with too much brickbrack or you
will likely end up carrying more
stuff than you can find in an in
fantry man's pack and it'll weigh
about that much too.
But no matter what you'll have
the time of your life at the Mor
tar Board party. And so will your
date despite his corsage, baby
bonnets, and other paraphernalia.
