‘oday’s College Girl ‘Subtle, Conservative,’ - Kappas’ Editor Says

Modern Coed Also Has ‘More Poise and Maturity’ Than Last Generation, Adds Helen Bower Of Detroit, Here for Club Talks,

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON “Today’s college girl is a subtle creature. She doesn’t

onsider it smart to try to

prove her sophistication.”

|, /That’s what Miss Helen C. Bower of Detroit has learned ,)In the nine years she has been editor of the Key of

] “The pendulum is swinging back and current coeds are inclined to be more conservative than the girls who went to school 10 years

ago,” she declared.

“I look at them with awe because they have so

- much more poise and maturity than the last generation had. Their ~ manners are lovely and they are very serious about what they are

going to do in the world.”

Miss Bower, who edits the national woman’s fraternity quarterly which reaches 17,000 Kappas, also is book editor of the Detroit Free Press and does general reporting and some editorial writing, She was _yhere yesterday to address an afternoon meeting of the Woman's Department Club and an evening meeting of the Indianapolis Alumnae

Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gammay

“The value of fraternity training is much underestimated by

those outside the Greek letter system,” she said.

“Fraternity people

may be sorry that limitation in membership is necessary, but after

. all they are primarily interested in

character building and training

for leadership. - As long as there are people, they will organize in

3 groups with mutual interests.”

Fo War has spurred Kappas who live far away to send articles to the magazine, Miss Bower said. Recently she received two contribu~ ~ tions from Kappas in China and one from an alumna in Praha.

Style Creators Continue to Put

Accent On Youth

By ROSETTE HARGROVE

PARIS, March 98 (NEA) —That Parisian style creators still place the accent on youth is indicated by the new spring collections, in which skirts continue definitely on the short side, and swing and sway in a harmonious manner. The waistline remains stationary, shoulders are broadened by almost any artifices, except “padding” and sleeves are more or less restrained. Ardanse launches the “swaying swirt which, she points ‘out, whilst achieving a respectable width at the hem, nevertheless clings and molds the figure from waist to knees. Also, the skirt hem actually swings away from the body, and this achievement represents a decidedly new cutting technique. The dominant theme throughout the collection is beauty in movement. Blouses are going to be an important factor. Creed has an impose ing number of these; as a matter of fact, every suit is shown with its own particular blouse, which not only provides the color contrast but also represents the link between skirt and jacket. Beautiful silk surahs, in rich, deep tones or brilliant colors, contrasting or picking up a matching thread in check, plaid or tweed stress the very femi-, nine note the master tailor has managed to convey to all his models. Printed silks are still featured, such as the old paisley designs and the more vivid. modern patterns: These look especially well with the creamy silk numbers which are indicated for sunny days. Creed’s collection of beautifully tailored clothes provides the added zest of skirts that just cover the knees and flare at the hem, whilst preserving hip slimness by intricate goring. Topping these are abbreviated “bellhop” jackets, tightly buttoned, alternating with the more conservative, fitted jacket. Afternoon suits mainly achieved in handsome exotic silks, also show a revival of the flared basque to jackets, but are all short to preserve the proper equilibrium. | The vogue of different jackets or skirts continues, too. A new idea is a rainbow plaid jacket with a tight, accordion-pleated wool | skirt. “Houndstooth” check cloth makes its bow in a number of new colorings. Wools have never been so soft, scotch plaids so full of color and jwesas so brilliant, almost luxurous. : A simple turquoise tweed - suit, with nipped-in jacket. and slightly belled skirt, is completed by a gay but soft red surah blouse—and here you have a combination which spells perfection.

Irish Party Set At Monday Club

Mrs. Paul Pratt will talk on “A Bit - o'Blarney” Monday at the Monday Club meeting at the American United Life Building. Mrs. Frank Billefer will sing a group of Irish ballads and Miss Victoria Montani will play several selections. Mrs. John Downing Johnson will conduct a round table discussion on paliamentary law. .

Mrs. Ernest B. Thompson will preside at a meeting of the board of directors at 1 p. m. preceding the 2 o’clock program. Mrs. O. L. Kranz and Mrs. C. F. Dillenbeck are in charge of the program. |
