After a Fashion
BY JEAN SWENGEL
AND GENE JENSEN.
Highlights in the millinery line
for spring fashions at the recent
Broadway-Hollywood fashion
show in Hollywood featured some
thing "new for the lady this
spring."
The main notes were tiny and
very large off-the-face hats in
natural, navy and black milan and
lacy natural tuscans, stressing a
pretty frame for the face. Still
popular are small rollers, pill
boxes (worn back and trimmed
with high nosegay), little cloches,
sailors, bowlers and some Wat-
teaus.
Larger hats ranged from big
padres and bretons, worn back,
to huge capeline and sailors in
milans and shantungs and bakous,
lacy tuscans and horsehair braids.
The dominating idea concern
ing color was on the monoch
romatic scheme. Neutral beige
and grays carry out this theme
with variation for emphasis at
tained with fuchia, kelly, lanvin
green, pink or violet. Contrast
for the neutral beige is also
shown with John Frederic's rasp
berry shade. Some of the hats
in mauve were completely dec
orated with artificial violets.
White is always good for spring
and was highly stressed.
Another fashion show at the
Hotel Statler, Detroit, put on by
many famous designers, stressed
individuality with emphasis on
the silhouette. The cloche, sailor,
many others lavishly trimmed
with flowers, ribbons and plumes
were shown. Straws are also in
the spotlight. Head-conforming
small hats and the high-crowned
deep-brimmed style with a coarse
veil will be popular for the town
and country type.
Further complementing for the
silhouettes are: for the slim suit,
the head-conforming look; a feel
ing of width in the hat for the
long jacket line; for the all en
veloping cloak, choose the close
small hat; with the straight
briefer, the "dead level' sailor;
while balance with the flare-back
briefer (always worn with a slim
skirt) is achieved with a bowler;
I a wide-brimmed hat, preferably,
1 for the severe suit of formal fa
bric.
some John L-onn Hats are
shown in a neutral color with
draped scarves. The Kay-West
Hat company's beret with the
open crown and over the fore
head look is also popular. The
best sellers at ' Levy brothers in
Houston are visor sailors in shan
tung and milan with some flower
trim, and Sally Victor's "Little
Filly" and "Big Filly" models in
rough Swiss Straw.
These cover the main motifs
in women's millinery across the
country. The hats, like the suits,
give a large and varied range
to suit all types of whims and i
fancies. To brighten your out
look on life, stop at your favorite
hat shop and pick a complemen
tary style for your new ensemble.

ion world, look again next week.

Thoughts of Grassless Paths
Frustrate Campus Gardener
By G. Tierney Shestak.
Just os I was shifting from
slightly sound sleep to veddy,
veddy sound sleep in the Union
lounge the other afternoon,
Marthella Holcomb walked by and
woke me up. She was chanting
aloud the last two cantos of her
entry in the 1947 Ivy Day con
test. ((Requirements: not more
than 40,000 words and must not
mention more pay for teachers.
No limericks, please.) I couldn't
evaluate its total lyric beauty or
political significance, but I do
know it was as good as any of
the stuff them guys Sheets- and
Kelly wrote.
It was impossible to regain un
consciousnes so I relaxed and let
my mind roam free. I had to
take control again almost immed
iately after it roamed out of
bounds. I sat and thought about
kings and cabbages and scaling
wax and ships and shoes, and
whether pigs have wings. Then I
thought about spring.
In Lincoln, almost everybody
looks forward to spring except
one poor, discouraged, frustrated
man. He is the man who tends to
the campus vegetation a "no
thanks" job.
All winter he has thought about
long, lush, green grass and faith
fully read his seed catalogs. Then
spring comes, the snow melts
and what happens? Nothing!
What few weeds have survived
are withered and brown and beat
en down like a democrat in Ne
braska. We might as well face the facts
we will never have a campus
bursting with vegetation. The
motto seems to be "if you see a
blade of grass, stamp on it!
Explanation?
Is there a sinister scheme be
hind all this? Is the University
marble team trying to get the
grounds in shape by April? Per
haps the anti-vivisection league is
behind it all. v
At any rate, as soon as a path is
established, the powers that be lay
a sidewalk. But nobody uses it;
they make another path. Soon
the by-ways of our school will be
crowded with little men feverish
ly laying cement in an attempt
to anticipate trespassers on the
grass.
Do you know what is going to
happen? I predict that if this
trend continues, they will be
forced to cement over the entire
campus and paint it green!
