Johnson, freshman from Lin
coln, awaits warm spring and
summer days in her two-piece
outfit of cotton and rayon yarn
in a linen-like weave. The
waistcoat and pleated skirt,
washable, feature huge patch
pockets on the skirt and high
pockets on the waistcoat, all
trimmed with buttons and shoul
der cap sleeves. The skirt has
soft fullness in the front im
pressed box pleat, with softness
echoed in the tiny shawl collar.
pectator for Pumps

Spectator pumps will bo worn
this spring as always, along with
graceful patent or calf town
shoes.
hater in the day, the style
points to intricate strip sandals
in pastels, accompanied by pale
stockings. A "nude" sandel. for
example, has kid strippinps.
Shell pumps ate also made with
strippings.
Suede pumps are made with
contrasting calf strippings. and
combinations of patent and call
are also seen.
Sweater Wear
BoomExpeeted
This Summer
Sweater business is expected
to be big business this summer.
More cool styling and more cool
yarns are reasons for increased
interest in the summer sweater
through a wide price range.
Linen is back plus linen-rayon
combinations, rayon boucle, cot
ton knits and string knits. Nylon
wool and rayon-wool mixtures
are other yarns getting a play
for warm weather selling. Most
firms stress the washability of
these yarns.
Apart from T-shirts and T
hlnuscs these include short
sleeved cashmere cardigans.
Sweaters are coordinated with
evervthing from tennis shorts
and swim suits to evening skirts.
Topular Styles
Other sweaters styled for warm
weather are cap-sleeved cardi
gans, strapless elasticized tube
tops; boleros (called "Shrug
Sweaters") and knit toppers.
Scooped necklines and off-the-shoulder
styles with culled tops
also appear.
Many sweaters have accents
like bright bcadwork, bullion
emblems and crests. Cutout
work is often used at necklines,
filled in with net, to dress up
classis styles.
Sweaters are also coordinated
with sleeveless cotton dresses,
sunbacks and play clothes separates.
Eight Home Ec Majors
Plan Chicago Field Trip
Following the fashion world
professionally, eight clothing and
textile students plan to attend
the Home Economics in Business
'Career Days" in Chicago Fri
day and Saturday, March 24 and
25.
Students making the trip are
Lois Elwell, Jean Fenster, Carol
liiggins, Dchla Holstcin, Peg
McGeachin, Marilyn Nuss, Janet
Pierce and Bonnie Washington.
"Career Days," HEIB's annual
vocational guidance project, is
being sponsored by the Chicago
group this year. Hume Econom
ics students and faculty members
from 25 midwest colleges arc ex
pected to attend.
Study Home Ec Business
Th? purpose of the two-day
session is to acquaint students
with the home economics busi
ness field by means of talks,
skits, poster exhibits and trips
through Chicago company home
economics departments.
Conference headquarters will
be at The Peoples Gas Light and
Coke company auditorium. Gen
eral conference topics will be
discussed there, with outside field
trips highlighting the "Career
Days" program.
Twenty-two field trip group
ings are planned for those at
tending the convention, each
grouping including two actual
field trips.
All eight students attending
from Nebraska are clothing and
textile majors and they chose
field trips centered around la
shion, advertising and textiles.
Field Trips
Each girl is scheduled for a
different field trip grouping.
Some of the places which will
be visited are:
J. Walter Thompson tracing
an ad from beginning to end;
discussion of advertising photog
raphy and copy.
Chicago Tribune an explana
tion of the various kind of work
that make up a career in home
economics on a newspaper.
Chicago Daily News: The
makeup of a food page for a
large evening newspaper will be
explained as well as a tour
through the plant showing how
large paper is compiled.

lield for students interested in I
those lines.
In addition to the convention !
program and the field trips there ,
will be complimentary lunch
eons and the group will be din- j
ner guests Friday night. j
The eight girls will represent
Nebraska at the convention. !
You'll remember this Easter.
Give it a jaunty salute with color
butter-soft color or vivid color.
Either version makes the wearer
happy.
We always thought of happi
ness out where the blue began.
This is the season lor blue to
begin navy blue. Wear it. Match
it. Accent it.
We found navy blue in dresses
at Simon's. A fresh rayon navy
dress is styled with thin sewn
I pleats. Spanking white pique cir
cles the neck and continues down
the throatline. A narrow belt
speaks for the present shirtwaist
influence.
Shadow nylon and pure silk
prints are made in slim styles.
You'll find dollman sleeves, man
darin collars, or buttons for de
tail. Soon chiffon will be in at
Simon's for you to wear. It's
going to be a summer ol trans
parencies. Short coats speak softly ol
spring. Versatile finger tip top
pers have the new accent on
color. At Harveys you'll find
them right in everything includ
ing price. Choose one gracefully
full, or pleasingly tailored. A
tiny lilac-and-lime check is fitted
around you in a new shortie.
Crepe lining will keep you warm
when breezes begin to play. A
flap pocket entered from the side
completes the good tailoring.
Fleecy or smooth wool coats
come in new color tones like
melon, lime, gold, off-white, and
of course, navy.
Try a variegated stripe dress
that has five shades of one color.
You get variety and garden fresh
ness in this one color. A nar
row cuff is turned at the top of
the sunback top. For cooling
bareness, wear it without the
bolero-cut jacket. Unpressed
pleats make walking easy. Millers
show this dress in black, brown,
blue, and maroon.
Crisp waffle piques in candy
pastels are news lor the college
girl at Millers. You'll find new
fabrics like cotton taffeta, and
there's cloquedot, which has an
upward striving rain of dots per
manently pressed into the cotton.
Look for sheer delight. By this
we mean Bemhergs and organdy
to be in at Millers in about two
weeks.
Burlap moves startlingly into
the fashion blue book this spring.
It's shown in purses, made into
coats and molded into hats. The
burlap hat gives an exclama
tion point of newness. Simon's
have burlap hats in e.g. (college
girl) styles. Burlap fits over
vour smooth hair in little hat
! styles. Three different looks are
the Dutch, the smooth cloche, or
the sporty visor style.
Also at Simons you'll find felt
cloches spiced with white pique.
Try a dark felt with bright white
pique buttons. The new cloches
are cut shorter in back to show
your hair.
The mad hatter no but again
definitely something to do with

Lace Tops List
In Evening Style
Lace is first choice for evening
wear at southern resorts, both
for the short dinner dress and
the full-length formal gown.
In full length gowns, black
predominates. In short gowns,
white, off-white and pastel colors
make a strong showing. Nylon

fabrics, like lace and taffeta, and

your March hair. Flatter it and
yourself with the new color,
banana. Choose a hat from
Magee's. Banana is a wonder
ful touch for navy and gray.
Magee's give you these tips on
hat before you buy.
1. 90 percent of their hats sold
are small hats.
2. The little cloche is leading
in navy, red tones, and wheat
tones.
3. Hats are comfortable and
natural looking for your college
scene.
4. Fruit is appearing on the
more sophisticated styles.
5. Flowers are worn with
smartness. Daisies and field
flowers are good to tie in with
the yellow interest.
Like straws in the wind, hos
iery is bending to the fashion
forecast. Hemlines move up and
eye interest goes down.
Shoes are open to show off
cobwebby sheer Stocking shades
arc looking like a cloud-soft
night. Shades like smoky crystal
and hazy dream are in, and dark
shades are out. "Watercolors" in
wheat tones are right.
Hovland's have hose which
emphasize your pert heel. Their
sapphire hose has a serenade
heel. Which all means darker
contrast at the heel makes your
ankle seem slimmer and lovelier.
You'll also find seamless hose
at Hov's. To give yourself an
underline of beauty, wear them
with sandals.

For Blouse Wear
A crisp weskit will be a chic
accent to many a spring suit.
Sleeveless, of white pique, with
front buttons is one of the typi
cal stvlcs.
Handkerchief linen blouses
with round collars afe also seen.
Also in linen is a natural tone
blouse with bib effect yoke.
Circle Skirts

Circle skirts aic receiving con
siderable promotion and arc sell
ing rapidly in a variety of ma
terials and color combinations in
many stores throughout the
country.
Cottons are most wanted, in
bold designs and bright colors.
Navy, red, pink, blue and brown
talleta-dot cotton is favored,
drapcrv material running a close
second! Chambrays, taffetas and
tapestry cloth are doing well.
Boldness and color arc cited as
kevnotes of general acceptance.
Some skirts have matching belts,
and one popular number fea
tures a decp-quilted pocket. An
other important feature is that
all these skirts are equipped with
adjustable backs to fit all waist-

blouses and skirts.

Satin-striped batiste shuts are
