When the rubber shortage loomed on the horizon, fashion consumers gasped. But all this fretting and bother was wasted, for changes in clothing brought about by this shortage will not be as drastic as you think.
Long before the ban on rubber, with the exception of the very cheapest raincoats or those used exclusively by firemen or outdoor-workmen, the public had been presented with and had accepted wholeheartedly many many types of rainwear that used little or no rubber in their construction. Water and wind repellent fabrics have been used so successfully . . . from the standpoint of style first, and utility second . . . for the last 10 years, that the public in all walks of life takes them for granted. In fact the government, itself, finds that rubber is really not vital in a rainwear garment, and is using the alternates for military coats in many instances.
Many years before the suspender came into existence men were holding up their pants with a belt of one kind or another. And the first gallouses invented used a cord and some fabric ln a simple pulley arrangement that worked OK. So as a final thing, men will go back to ‘‘holder-uppers’’ using some fancy pulley gadget. But, don’t let this worry you. because men have been wearing suspenders these last three or four years, made of a stretchable
alternate, and, according to all reports, they can still get all of this material they want.
And as for garters . . . well for the last year or so, many manufacturers have been selling socks with an elastic webbing around the top
‘•Duration white” is being featured by the Celanese corporation, because it doesn’t need as many tubbings as ordinary white. It is slated to be very popular in everything from play clothes to formals.
Hawaiian prints with splashes of bright colors, mostly reds, lend an atmosphere of native charm as well as gaiety to the scene. Simply cut w'ith full skirt, they are shown well with matching lipstick and nailpolish.
Peasant embroidery with this season’s variations is perennially popular. Simulating an apron, the embroidery extends from the shoulders down to the middle of the skirt. The peasant effect is also used on the pockets and neckline of dirndl jumper dresses which are topped by little white blouses with puffed sleeves.
Seersucker suit-dresses with matching slacks are comfortable as well as practical. They come in blue, green, red, and brown with white trim and are adaptable for dress, as well as sports ensembles.
Gayly flowered chintz dresses with full skirts, square-cut necklines, and abbreviated short sleeves
are comfortably cool. With a pink background and pastel flowers, they look like a summer garden in full bloom. Matching wide-brimmed garden bonnets add a clever note.
Catholics to Sponsor Holy Mass Thursday
Under the sponsorship of the Newman club, the holy sacrifice of the mass will be celebrated on Ascension day at noon Thursday in Bowne hall of the Mudd Memorial building. The Rev. Fathfr Thomas Connolly will officiate.
Elections of new officers will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the lounge of the Student Union building. A report on the recent regional convention of the organization Will be given.
Retiring officers of the group include: Howard Callanan, president; Virginia Waters, vice-president; Florence Okazaki, secretary; and Bud Boening, treasurer.
A white net bouffant skirt topped with a black jersey bodice with shirred sleeves and a low neck describes the dress which Martha Livingston, newly elected Amazon, will appear in. In her hair will be a Mortar Board gardenia.
DRESS FEATURES LACE
Amazon Prexy Dorothea Tilton will appear in a dinner gown fashioned of red lace and red and white jersey. Starched red lace forms the slightly flared skirt, red jersey the wide waistline, and white jersey the bodice with a low round neck.
Sweetheart neckline, huge puffed
sleeves, and a little-girl sash are the details of Eleanor Britton’s dress fashioned of blue polka dot swiss organdy. Miss Britton, Zeta Tau Alpha president, will wear a Mortar Board gardenia.
GOWN HAS SLEEVES
Outgoing AWS President Jackie Comerford will appear in a pink marquisette gown with long sleeves and a close fitting round neck.
Dorothy Smith, newly elected Panhellenic president, has chosen a fuschia taffeta formal with old-fashioned puffed sleeves, a sweetheart neckline,' and a full skirt.
Alpha Chi Lucile Remy will be patriotic in a cotton pique dress. It is powder blue with a sweetheart neck, and a semi-full skirt. Miss Remy is chairman of the Recreational council.
NEW COLOR CHOSEN
Beverly Royston, four-star coed and ASSC secretary-elect, will wear a champagne colored net dress to compliment her blonde hair.
Alpha Chi President Claire Laub favors gold lace and aqua taffeta. The gold lace forms a full skirt and the aqua taffeta top forms a long torso. A short jacket tops the dress.
BIEGE POPULAR
Barbara Symmes, new AWS president, will be at the speakers’ table in a biege crepe dinner dress with a wide waistband of flame colored crepe.
Light blue slipper satin will fashion the full-skirted dress with a basque fitted waist that Mary Gower, Mortar Board president, wijl wear. Brilliants trim the square neck.

into the army, was a student at Colby college where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta.
Victory Suits Save Material
Clothing is the thing that has caused all the hullabaloo, and when you study the following rules set forth by the WPB, you’ll be ashamed of yourself for getting all het up by the many nasty rumors making the rounds. None of the changes are drastic or ridiculous. They are all for the best. In fact most of them should have been made a long time ago. As long as the changes are easy, gradual and natural, and the wool savings are tremendous so that our fighting forces can have more, you’ll be happy about them, and will feel much better wearing them.
Suits ... no cuffs . . . (they’re unsanitary anyway, and .they make short men look shorter) ... no two matching pants suits ... (if youll buy the extra pair in a different color, pattern and fabric, and mix 'em up, it will appear as if you have a much larger wardrobe) ... no vests with double breasted suits ... (I have never seen a vest that fit, nor a suit that fit well with a vest . . . and you’ll be a lot more comfortable without one anyway) ... no vents, no fancy backs and the jackets are to be one-fourth inch shorter . . . (you'll
never miss any of them). Pants are
one inch smaller at the knee, one-half inch smaller at the bottom; no pleats, or patch pockets . . . I
(after the second time you have these new pants on you’ll never no- , tice the difference)
