For women only! For the first and last and only time during the year the girls have to invite and fete the boys to an evening's entertainment. Yep, its the annual Mortar Boards' Black Masque ball that's coming up a week from tomorrow night so get your date all sewed up be fore the wolves wearing" skirts start hunting. So now the problem is how to ask some lucky boy to the vice versa party. According to the best authorities (seniors, they've had three years experience so know all the angles) there are several satisfactory ways in which to ap proach a man on the subject of a date. Perhaps the simplest and most widely used method is to ask him at the ball, for the general prac tice in the past has been to ask the fellow who asked you to the ball. Just say, "Oh, by the way, don't forget the Mortar Board Gone Are the Days . . . War Curtailment of Women's Hose Introduces Rayon Mesh BY JEAN GLOTFELTY. "Gone for the duration" is the stock phrase these days. And the fairer sex is losing out from top to bottom. First it was curlers and peroxide; then girdles; and now the shapely or otherwise limbs of the college girl have be come martyrs to the cause. There will definitely be no more silk or nylon stockings until the end of the war and just when we were learning how to keep our nylons up, too. A few pairs of silk or nylon still may find their way into .he store3 now and then, but this supply is practically exhausted; in fact, it s exhausted because the salesgirls get there first. Imported Eng lish lisle is ouc, too, except where certain stores have a few pairs on hand. What to Do? So what are we supposed to do? The answer is what we were afraid it would be. Rayon, cotton, and more rayon. Fine rayon mesh, coarse rayon mesh, rayon lisle, and just plain rayon. But it can be obtained in any desired shade for a dollar and up for good weaves. Except for the added care necessary in handling rayon WAVES, Beauty Shops, UN Coeds Like Short Hair Those war snortages seem to change a lot of things. For now the great question that most of the coeds are trying to answer is, 'Should we leave our tresses long and be glamorous or cut them shore and look trim and effi cient?" Many of the girls are doing the latter and snipping their lovely locks. The idea seems to have origin ated with the WAACs and WAVEs because it is a requirement for them to have their hair one inch above their collars. Beauty salons report that the great popularity of shorn locks is due chiefly to their ability to make customers look neat. Short hair is also very simple to take care of, which is an important factor in these husv sr times. Signal Corps . . .

Previously scorned cotton stock ings are on the up and up for sport and school wear this year. Fine cottons in a rib or tancy weave can.be obtained in many colors from the customary tans to red, green and yellow. In these brilliant hues, milady's legs will trip merrily about their war work, and snags and runs will be a forgotten evil of "the good old days." The only alternative to cotton and rayon is leg makeup. And next summer will see a lot of it. When well applied, its golden tan is detinitely smooth on the eyes. Helena Rubenstein, Elizabeth Ar den, and Debonaire put out a su perior brand of this "gam goo. There are also many other less ex pensive, but good, brands. party next Saturday night. I'll cll you and let you know our plans." Fun to Phone? But perhaps you feel you should invite him by telephone before th Ball. In that case plan to spend at least three quarters of an hour trying to get in on a fraternity house phone. After you get hold of your chosen lad the rest is ea.y and you're all set. Of course, you can always wait for the right man to call you then spring it on him all of a sudden like and catch him off guard. You've got the date cinched then. For those who want to be more ingenius and deliver their invita tions in a Httel more startling way we have little to suggest. You might send it by carrier pigeon, or throw it on his front porch wrapped around a brick. But a word of warning. . . .Treat your date sweetly on the night of the Military Ball, that is if you don't want him . to remember everything on the night you have to play escort and magnify details a hundred fold. On Time for Once. For instance, be on the dot if not ready a few minutes before hand. If he has to wait for you, you'll have to wait 15 minutes for him for every minute you kept him waiting. Don't load him down with too much brickbrack or you will likely end up carrying more stuff than you can find in an in fantry man's pack and it'll weigh about that much too. But no matter what you'll have the time of your life at the Mor tar Board party. And so will your date despite his corsage, baby bonnets, and other paraphernalia.
