Besides the Dress We
Have the Trimmings
By June Jamieson.
That final touch, the one that
adds the dash of color to your
best black street dress or com
pletes your formal getup so that
you're an angel come down to
earth, won't be one bit difficult
to track down this fall. Lincoln
merchants are offering a surpris
ing amount of accessories to dress
up your last year's outfits and put
the finishing touch to your new
ones for a minimum price, even
with the new luxury tax.
Hats, of course, are the things
women buy to relieve that case of
the blues. One little number sure
to lift you out of the doldrums is
a black off-the-face, one of those
jobs with wavy brim and feminine
appeal that's sure to make your
man think you're the sweetest
thing on earth. For that ultra-so-.
phisticated dinner partner yon'
know, the senior who's been
around and wants someone "older"
a creation of black crepe and
grosgrain perched just over your
eyebrow will do the trick neatly
especially with that wisp of fine
veil dotted with a black sequin
here and there at strategic places.
Flat Heels for Dancing.
Shoes have taken a radical turn.
If you're tall, and need a low shoe
for dancing, you'll find comfort
plus style in the new "baby talk"
slippers, modeled after those leath
er bootees baby brother and sis
ter wear. They're flat-heeled and
trimmed at their square toes with
shiny patent leather. You may
have to take some ribbing, but
they're just the thing to give that
"small" illusion. Super-smooth is
the word for the new high-heeled
dress shoes as a group they are
simple, unadorned and effective as
a time bomb. Black suede is the
predominating fabric with a
touch of grosgrain, plastic or cut
out decoration.
Hand in glove with fashion are
the new purses and gloves. Many
of them are matching in red
suede, for color; natural calf for
durability and leopard for style.
The aforementioned item includes
large, roomy muff-purse, topaz
studded belt and fur-cuffed gloves.
Light, pastel scarves woven out of
softest wool in plaids, stripes and
solid colors are more of the ne
cessities which bring out the sheen
of that fur coat For more formal
evening, one counter offers a mam
moth black silk scarf, fringed and
heavily hand emboidered with
flowers and birds in Chinese man
ner. Colored Hosiery?
A word about hose: Manufac
turers seem to have perfected their
machines for knitting colored hos
iery. At any rate, this year's
stock is finer and more delicately
dyed than that of last year. If
you're planning an all-one-color
outfit, you'll like these colors des
tined to complete your ensemble
color from top to toe!
Jewelry, of course, comes in for
its share of wear which is about
75 percent of a girl's accessory
wardrobe. Unusual and lovely for
their workmanship are the match
ing pins of feudal days, one pin
representing a helmeted knight,
adorned richly with feudal trap
pings the other, his horse, bridle
in gold filigree. Both are of plas
tic. As good as ever are turquoise
and silver bracelets and rings.
Dear Diary . . .
. . By Marylouise
Simpson
Dear Diary,
Finally talked the folks into it,
and am going to Minnesota.
Mother is full of plans already
about what to wear to those
house parties. What with the new
suit she bought me today, and the
things she's counting on buying,
if the money holds out, it looks
like a pretty big time ahead!
Am going to wear that new love
of a suit on the trip up, just carry
my brown fur coat along. The
suit is a blue and brown tweed,
that is almost a herringbone
weave. Real soft wool,
and single button. The
pockets are what
really got me. The top
ones start from the
shoulder seam, and
look like a pleat. Then
they button down ....
can't explain it exactly,
but is really smooth.
Snap-brim and pigskin
gloves should do for
this and for the out
fit for the game too.
Taking my light green wool to
wear to the game. You know the
one. Two-piece, the top is real
fitted, three-quarter length sleeves,
brown stitching down the front
and around the sleeves, and an
accordian pleated skirt. Should
Something new is the turquoise
stone in silver setting suspended
from a thin silver chain a little
more dressy than the ordinary
necklace in these materials.
Eisenbergs are still the ultimate
in style and beauty. Clips and
bracelets are more stunning than
ever bracelets thin with chunky
stones and clips dazzling in their
perfect settings. -
Feminine or Casual, You Can't
Go Wrong in These Clothes
By Jean Baker
The present feud between white
rubber boots and saddle-leather
pumps key-notes the differing at
titudes of Nebraska co-eds as far
as clothes are concerned. White
and red seem to predominate in
both casual and feminine ward
robes this season, however, as evi
denced by Alpha Phi Betty Winn's
snow-white angora sweater which
completes her red, white and black
suit with a fitted, full-length coat,
and the purity effects obtained by
Shirley Wiley, Pi Phi in her white
wool dress. Shirley covers it with
a wooly white coat lined and
bound in red which defies classi
fication as to type.
Strictly casual outfits are diffi-
look swell with my coat, and
brown accessories, and go okay
for the open houses after the game
(Gosh, woundn't it be swell if
we'd win) ?
Anyway, to get back to the
question in hand... guess I'll
take the brown silk dress with the
peplum for Saturday night. Really
like this dress, has a round neck
and fitted bodice that swirls into
a peplum, three-quarter length
sleeves and a full- enough skirt
for dancing. Have a new fussy
hat so I have to wear my hair up,
and will take dressy brown shoes.
Would like to take some other
things along, but hate to barge
into the house up there with a lot
of clothes.
Well, had better hit those books
if I'm going to leave them behind
for the weekend. Don't know
whether I'm excited more about
the game or the new clothes,' but
have my ideas. Clothes crazy?
Could be! Marylouise.
cult to discover what with several
long strands of pearls disguising
the most nonchalant sweater and
skirt combination. Theta Maribel
Hitchcock's blue-gray sweater is
made for envy by non-possessors
while Lois and Gay Gayden, Pi
Phi sisters, make your mouth
water with their matching rose
and aqua combinations. Jo Duree,
Chi Omega, goes In for the more
tailored attire when she wears her
covert suit of olive green. As a
final wind-un of the casual side
of the question, we site Tonl Mc-
Qulstan, Theia, in ner green-predominating
plaid suit with the
matching beret which incidentally
goes very well with that red hair.
For the Feminine- Girl.
Femininity seems to blossom
forth along with the moon and
stars and Mary Alleen Cochran,
Theta, in her beautiful skunk coat
plus a black silk dress trimmed in
angora X marks. A trio of Alpha
Chi's prove the popularity of blue
when Myrldene Buller in a double
breasted silk with a novelty belt,,
Peggy Elliott in her wool with trick
pockets and silver necklace and
Nancy Mauck in one of the better
looking low-waisted wool jersey
dresses get together.
Roberta Patterson, another well
dressed Alpha Chi, sports a silver
dyed possum coat that blends per
fectly with her black felt bonnet
an black velveteen dress. Green
velveteen also appears frequently
as witness Mary Frances Smith,
Alpha Xi Delt's gold wool trimmed
with bands of the aforementioned
green velveteen and Pat Caley's
princess style dress made entirely
of the popular material.
