Fashions Had Simplicity

Simplicity was the keynote for
the resplendent maiden of 1917.
Below is a description of what the
well-dressed miss of that year
wore from morn till night.
Flannel collar middies were very
popular with the Nebraska coed.

wool with navy blue collars of
regular army flannel had em
broidered stars on each corner.
These middies were shown with
navy blue or black crepe skirts.
Reflecting the military mode
were strictly tailored suits with
long coats extending over the
knees. Both pleated and plain tail
ored models were evidenced.
Serges, gabardines, and broad
cloths reflect the material note.
Popular neckwear of the day in
cluded organdy, satin, and net
models, and vestecs were of or
gandy, stain, and Georgette crepe.
Silhouettes Were Straight.
Slender, straight lined silhou
ettes, convertible collars, narrow
hems, and ankle and shoe top
lengths were features of the new
spring dresses. Materials included
worsted, serge, gabarine, silk, and
satin, nets, and crepe de Chine.
Dresses were afrill with late col
lars lovely with handiwork. Color
ful ginghams, checks, and plaids
were a welcome note during the
spring of 1917.
The ever important question of
accessories was ever important 25
years ago. Popular shoe models
of that day were hi:i buttoned
ones in black calf and black kid
with imitation wing tip. Military
lace boots with last and welt
sc les lent a slender and graceful
touch to the foot.

For Casuals
Coeds Choose
The 'S'entials
Sweaters, slacks, and slickers
are the order of the day for a
would-be casual coed during mild
to warmer March and showery
April weather. Casual campus
clothes must needs include the
aforementioned three 's'entials.
With a view to the feet, and
look at them we must, it strikes
our attention that the most suit
able encasement for the lower ex
tremities are brown and white
saddle shoes. Not only do they
look good, but they keep well. Like
good wine, the older the vintage
the better they become. The dirtier
they are, yet still retaining that
saddle shoe look, the better we
like 'em.
Torrential torrents, also known
as April showers, shall be bearing
down upon our bowed and weary
heads, and the thought strikes us
that we should be sheltered some
how. Always practical and cer
tainly good looking, are the rain
proof gaberdine porkpies which
have been seen perched on the
noggins of some of the better
dressed women.
Wind Shelters.
Shelter from March winds and
later rains is found in plaid-lined
gaberdine raincoats. Serving a
duo-purpose, these coats double as
casual topcoats for sports clothes
and as is customary, raincoats.
Still in the slicker line, but more
on the casual side are the pliofilm
and oilcloth sou'westers, custom
ary standbys in case of the rains'
coming.
Crew neck lines to match the
boy friend's natty crew haircuts
are traditional. Since we gals have
hocked the good old V-necked
sweaters, crew and boat necks are
next in line. And, in bright spring
shades of blue, yellow, green, and
pink. The early bird will have
nothing on the worm who will
turn and treat herself to a bright
new sweater.
Cuffs are Gone.
Cuffless slacks for defense are
the latest and newest. As long as
all will soon be wearing them any
way, why not hop on the band
wagon and beat them to it? Our
good old standby, gabardine,
again steps to the fore to steal
the prize. Dirty dealings in den
ims will be the rule on many man
ual labor tasks and if you have a
pair left over from the farm, wear
them on picnics with a loud plaid
shirt and saddle shoes.

Mary Helen Deitrich, Til Delt president, is dressed just right
for a tea or afternoon bridge party in her brown and white polka dot
dress from Gold's. The plain effect is achieved by the five ruffle?
edged with brown grosgrain. Her Forstman wool crepe coat is gored
and fitted in princess style. She sets the brown coat off with brown
felt profile hat and white gloves. Down her back hang long grosgrain
streamers which cannot be seen in the picture.
Last Year's BDG ...
Sue Woodruff Restricts Her
Clothes to Tailored Styles
"Coeds should stick to campus
clothes, but not be restricted by
them. You can be individual and
still be in good taste if your
clothes fit the occasion," accord
ing to Suzanne Woodruff, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, named Nebraska's
best dressed girl at last year's
Coed Follies.
Practicing her sermon, Sue con
fines her wardrobe to tailored
clothes, which, in her opinion, can
go anywhere. They are particular
ly suited to modern living and are
equally as good on campus as in
town. In formals, too, Suzie pre
fers simple lines and solid colors.
Her dinner dresses carry out the
tailored lines of her wardrobe.
Until Uniforms Come.
Refusing to make any definite
predictions about style trends, the
EDG remarked, "We'll probably
all be buying collars and cuffs to
make our one black dress last
thru three seasons, that is, if uni
forms don't get us first.''
