Tliey possess not only clothes hut figures, person ality, popularity, and originality. As representative of Alpha Xi Delta, Martha Tjon; dis plays a flare for sports and feminine clothes. For classes she appears in strictly tailored suits that are made less severe by her gold blond hair gathered at the back of her head with a ribbon. Pat Prime, Alpha Phi, has red tresses and a passion for colorful clothes. She designs all of her formals and most of her date dresses, and can combine raspberry, chartreuse, and lavendar into a luscious spring ensemble. Pat Reitz, Equestrienne. Hiding is Delta (Jamma-Pat Keitz's recreation, but Pat is really quite feminine, not indulging in an excess amount of sports clothes. Deing more of a conservative, she prefers navy, yet has many pastel sweaters. Prom Raymond Hall comes Mary Kva Huffman with light auburn hair and a lovely willowy figure. For dates she likes hats with veils and dresses wilh unusual trim in shades of gold, beige, or brown. Blue in any shade makes a hit with Sigma Kappa Betty Lehman as may be seen in her new suit or dress. Elizabeth Smith, AOPi is petite and dark with luminous brown yes. As choice for a new suit, she has a roseberry wool skirt with jacket an dhat in powder blue. Sophisticated and always immaculately dressed is Theta Betty Ilillyer who looks most perfect in black and white with a touch of red. Harriet Byron Chooses Striking Colors. Striking and odd color combinations are worn by Sigma Delta Tau Harriet Byron. She selected a new brown dress with red fox furs and chartreuse sweater with beige acces sories. Alpha Chi Omega Betty Bachman is known for her giggle and enviable, pug nose. Her clothes are conservative but clever, and she likes no color in particular. Credit goes to 100 coeds face footlights, rehearse strutting styles Models in fluffy formats, swim suits, school suits, night wear grace last Follies practice All dressed up and no place to go until the rehearsal starts, was the sentiment of over 100 coeds as they sat draped on boxes, stage properties and stairs steps last evening in the J'emple theater and awaited their signal to walk in front of the footlights. With the average day for the coed starting at 8 o'clock in the morning and lasting until the scheduled 12:30, the models in bathing suits, date dresses, and formals sat side by side with no question as to who was dressed in correct taste for the evening. DeLorls Bors, in h rearlin', writ ln'. arithmetic outfit of dusty pink ar.d lilac stood leading against a pillar as she adjusted her lilac roller hat which exnclly matched her purse and gloves, hy her sldi Betty Reese, Delta Gamma, was arrayed in a gaberdine riding en semble with its flashy red vist and sporty look. Another boots and saddle model was Lillian Lut tgen also in gaberdine, hers, tan. Model afraid she'll tumble. Audibly wishing "If I only don't stumble!" Eleanor Collier, Alpha Xi, heard the word "next" from director Janet Lau. Gathering her composure, she stepped onto the stage in a gray tweed coat with a wide black suede belt, blue hat, blue dress, and black accessories. "Mep" Waggner, Alpha Phi, stifled a yawn as she stepped out in her "Oh, How I Hate To Get Up in the Morning" outfit of yel low and brown crepe lounging pa jamas. By her side Martha Long in a blue satin robe with tucked sleeves seemed of the same opin ion for she looked skeptically at See strutting, page 14 No doubt about it the Age of Coquetry is once more. Fash ion authorities proclaim it, shops acclaim it, college girls claim it as their very own. It admirably becomes coeds this deceptively wide-eyed, stony-faced sophistication. And it's every bit as deadly. Every mode mood has its keynote. Just as the boyish bob symbolized the masculinity of the early twenties, so do petti coats earmark this new style era. There are short, swirling skirts, schoolgirl necklines, but underneath it all, petticoats. It is self-evident that petticoats are not slips. Slips are all utilitarian; to keep frocks from clinging to chassis, and to prevent sun-lit silhouettes. Petticoats, in addition, are part of the game. Grandma played that way. Under her demure, transparent shirtwaists she wore be-laced, be-ruffled, and be-ribboned cami See streamlined, page IS As the first B. D. 0. C. ever chosen on the university campus, Joe Stephens, Delta Upsilon senior who was announced winner of the contest to determine the best dresser on the campus today, declined to comment on his selection.

Ed Steeves oi Sigma Nu de clares, "I don't like all of the ldiosyncracies of dress such as much superfluous material where a couple of yards would do. Why not dress for comfort and forget following current fads?" "The same dress on four dif ferent girls looks tour different ways so clothes aren't most im portant," says Phi Psl Fred Stiner. "What is seen above the neckline and below the hemline are certainly Important to what comes in between. Then girls had better stop dashing around without shoes around their toes, or they may end up cripples. For jewelry I prefer just a locket." Bob Sandberg of ATO doesn't approve of dangling hair, or purple lipstick. Sandy says, "Everything must be consistent, no over or under dressing, taboo on costume suits at school."
