SIX
Tips to the men
Combination type head band
and gown corsages popular
with madamoiselle
By Charles Eggert.
With the Military Ball, opening
the formal season, in the offing,
the student's mind turns to the all
important question of suitable
corsages. He wonders just what
kind of flowers he should get for
his $1.50 to $3.00, which will be
appropriate to the occasion and
suitable for his date s gown. J
Gaining in popularity this year
will be the combination type cor
sage with head band or garland
for the hair and single blossom for
the gown. This type wil' be es
pecially effective with the new
Strapless formal. Another favorite
will be the strap corsage for low
necked gowns.
30,000 this year.
These and other new types will
comprise a large portion of the
30,000 corsages that Lincoln
florists will sell to formal-going
universitites during the ap
proaching formal season.
In ordering the corsage the
average man will call the florist
and after stating how expensive a
one he wants and the time for
which he wants it dismisses the
matter from his mind. This leaves
it to the florist's judgement to
either make a suitable choice by
finding out the style ani color of
the gown to be matched or to com
pose a corsage of gardenias or or
chids which will go well with al
most any gown.
As a last wojd, fellows, unless
you know a great deal about
flowers and are willing to take the
responsibility of matching your
date's gown, let your experienced
florist make the choice and avoid
the disaster of sending violet
sweet-peas to be worn with a
slinky, flaming red gown or or
ange poppies to match a sweet,
pink tulle number.

Birds of a
feather
wear bows---
By Cay Deurmyer.
Bows big bows, little bows,
metallic bows, velvet bows, long
bows, and short bows are topping
off the well dressed college lassie
as she trips the light fantastic this
formal season. Not so large as to
interfere with hooded capes, yet
large enough to attract the well
known male eye, these rainbow
hued hair ornaments are the
latest thing.
Birds of a feather flock to
gether! Kittenish is the word for
these frilly little feathers that
tickle one's tall dancing partner.
Perched precariously on a mass of
golden or blown locks, they wave
jauntily to all who pass. Bright
reds, greens and blues predominate
(See BOWS, Page 9.)
Perfume
(Continued from Page 3.)
fume seems to be the most in de
mand, but in your selection for
the ball rely on the dictates of
your own nose.
The men say
Just for our own curiosity I
asked many of the critical males
what perfume they preferred most
after all, girls, we should take
heed a bit to their opinions, and
so Herb Knox at the DU house
said, "I do like perfume if it
smells expensive and is used in
good taste, most especially,
"Shocking" . . . and "Oh Johnnie"
Mason, ATO, said, "Perfumes
which give you ideas on girls, who
don't give you the opportunities,
are enough to drive most men to
a second date.
Terfume, soft lights, a fine or
chestra, a happy-go-lucky date
who simply loves to dance, what
could be nicer . . . then Jack
Stewart, Beta, popped up with,
"Oh! a you asked me? Per
fumes? Then stink."
As do kings,
so do men
everywhere
English monarch takes
forefront in advocating
full length stockings
By Chris Peterson.
If the King of England is any
arbiter on clothes, and reputedly
he is one of the best-dressed men
in the world, the great garterless
sock is on the up and up. For
several years the half length sport
sock with an elastic top has been
popular, but the coming winter will
see an increase in the full length
sock with a wide elastic band at
the top to hold it up.
In his majesty's socks, photo
graphs of which have recently ap
peared in this country, the elastic
band is split horizontally in back
to give an added hold to the leg
and functions on the same prin
ciple of the garter.
The shirt on your back this fall
will most likely be made of the
sturdy Oxford cloth in plain colors
and white, with the button-down
Dover roll-front collar, which is
now sweeping the universities. Ox
ford cloth is the most durable and
most absorbent, yet cool in sum
mer and warm in winter. Since
the advent of sanforizing, the ab
solute shrinkage process, Oxford
cloth shirts do not now shrink out
of size... Be sure, though, to look
for the sanforized label ... It will
save you from choking to death,
by a shrunken collar.
Blue, particularly in the lighter
shades, seems to be the leading
color in tweed and Shetland coats
for the winter and next spring.
The lighter blue, almost a pastel,
is generally combined with gray
or lighter shades of brown in a
hound's tooth or plaid design. Blue
is also mixed this season with
brown and even dark green in the
solid color tweeds, giving a soft
mixture of color that is right for
autumn and winter days.
The spoils coat used to be con
sidered a luxury but today it can
be purchased in a wide range of
prices and has become almost an
essential with the college man.
Keep an eye out for wool ties.
(See KING, Page 9.)
Take your choice of
Tux or tails men's formal
wear sees few innovations
by way of color or style
By John Mason.
Comes the time of year when
men look forward to the sheckels
they will expend to uphold the tra
dition attendant to the Military
Ball. The question of clothes is
not difficult for the men for they
have only two choices, tux or tails.
Undoubtedly the greater per cent
of male trippers of the light fan
tastic this year will wear tuxe
does. Those lucky few who can
afford to own both will wear their
tails to the ball and the other
bigger social events.
The only innovations in formal
wear for men this year is the new
shawl collar on the tux. Those
who can't separate the old tux
from the moth balls and there
fore have to buy a new one might
keep this feature in mind. For the
accessories last year's studs and
cuff links in black, red, or mid
night blue are correct.
Ties will be varied, but the two
favorites for tux are the butler
fly and the pointed tip, while the
butterfly is preferred for full
dress. Bouttonnaires can be worn
with or without the pocket hand
kerchief. They will appear in red,
white, and a few daring souls
will sport blue and yellow. The
white again is best for tails.
Quick, Henry, the flowers.
After our young hero is well
tied into his evening straight
jacket there comes that agonizing
thought: "I wonder if Mamie got
her corsage?" The subject of cor
sages has been discussed over and
over on campuses from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and various
measures have been adopted.
Here at Nebraska the custom
seems to be to give her a corsage
for the military ball and her so
rority formal, for sure. Any other
time you're flush, a corsage will
put that certain something in her
eye. If you want to be correct,
if not original, give her gardenias.
If you want to be on top in her
opinion, give her an orchid. Other
corsages should be designed from
the point of view of the color of
her dress, and her own personal
tastes.
