Crepes Are Hidden;
Sweaters, Revealed
BY NIN ASCOTT.
Now that the veils and crepes
of rush week are back in the
closet, campus flowers are blos
soming forth in tweedy suits, isoft
sweaters and "walking shoes." The
school uniform senis to be the
most attractive and comfortable
clothes obtainable always en
hanced by clever jewelry and
bright posies in the coiffure.
Kathie Legge, Pi Thi pledge,
registered in the university as
well in the eyes of the stronger
sex wearing a champagne wool
jacket over a brilliant plaid skirt.
Marsh Craft, KKG, hides her Phi
Delt pin with a hip length, red
dish trench coat, and Shirley Hill
mer, DG pledge, looks even more
striking in her heavy white wool
"date'' coat.
Vivid Hues Leads Parade.
The trend this year, as never
before, seems to follow the vivid
hues. For now, the color of an
outfit must outshine its quality
and cut. The labor shortage and
non-existant European shipments
have forced manufacturers to con
centrate on dyes rather than on
the excellence of cloth and tailor
ing. One of the brightest ensembles
seen is that of AOPI pledge, Jean
nette Matcha, in her Kelly green
lapeless suit; to extend the effect
Jeannette wears a perky green
bow in her blonde hair. She and
Peg Lemon, Theta, would look lik-?
a holiday together, for Peg owns

a scarlet sport suit, with which
she wears the ever popular white
blouse.
Black, Still Favorite.
But, no matter what the weath
er, black noias its own. Janice
Blakeslee of the Pi Phi house
wears velveteen With yellow Interesting-looking
things appliqued on
the shoulder, while Robin Sheets
chooses crepe and short sleeves.
She looks very "un-hannahish be
cause she slips on elbow length
black gloves for that "after-five"
look. Todie Campen, Alpha Phi,
likes sequins on crepe, and the ef
fect is one any man would approve.
Wearing the Alpha Chi ribbons
are Joan Huntzinger in her fircy
red dress and Betty Ed Strain,
who combines navy and white in
a print. And royal purple must
not be overlooked. Kappa pledge,
Polly Peterson wanted hers in a
suit and new Alpha Phi, Myrtle
Louise Johnson goes to college in
a deep violet jumper.
You must agree, everyone looks
smooth.

Shoe Rationing
Reflects Little
On Purchases
Shoe buying habits during the
first three months of rationing
were much the same as in pre
rationing days. That is the con
clusion Miss Dorothy Simmons,
extension home management spe
cialist at Iowa State college,
draws from a government survey
conducted early this summer be
fore the first ration coupon ex
pired. Nearly nine-tenths of the group
surveyed had used their No. 17
coupon for themselves or planned
to use it before the period was
over. Children between 4 and 15
years of age usually require more
shoes per year than adults or
from 3'i to 4 pairs a year. Pre
liminary figures indicate that be
cause children can obtain shoes
without coupons when need is
shown, adults are not commonly
using their coupons for shoes for
their children but are using them
thernselves.
Must Reduce Purchases.
In 1942, more than half of the
American public bought more
than 3 pairs of shoes in 1942, and
peak production is 3'i pairs per
person per year. This would indi
cate that adults with substantial
shoe wardrobes must voluntarily
reduce their purchases- if present
shoe production is to meet con
sumer demand.
Only one-quarter of the pur
chasers of rationed shoes sought
more expensive shoes than they
had previously purchased. Of
those who paid more, about one-
half paid less than $1 more. Tak
ing into account advancing prices,
the slight increase shows that the
shoes purchased were in approxi
mately the same price group.
