REASONS FOR 1889 STYLE
TRENDS

This then, is the setting, ana tne
reasons for it are fairly unmistakaole
Part of the world is in the grim busl-
ness of war, and the woman's reaction
to ALPHABETICALLY in France, where
that country is too close to it for COM
forts to sheer away from the very
thought of grimness, and while sne
can, the Partisan woman is pretending
to ignore it and find an escape mech
anism in being as feminine as possible,
as Charming and lovely to look at as
she undoubtedly was completely uncon
sciously, when she was playing WIN
dolls. Over here, our allegiance 20
our bronze Goddess of Liberty, the
gift of France, swings us back to nap
pier days when most of the world was
at peace.
For our clothes indicate our states
of mind, quite as much as our homes
do, and every art exhibition, the cos
tunes worn by the Hollywood movie
stars. PLAYS that win acclaim, books
that make deep impressions, conflicts
that take place anywhere, in which
nations subconsciously show their par
tisanship, All These have their in
fluence on designers of clothes abroad
followed or originated here in Ameri-
ca. Fashions have a way of reflect
ing international situations in mlnla-
ture, or humorously, amusingly, enter
tainingly, sometimes even in carlca-
ture, but nevertheless depicting the
sentiments of people as evinced by
what might be taken by the uninltlated
to be mere whim or caprice. AS an
instance. in Paris the umbrella has
come to be a dashing part of the har-
monizing color-scheme of costumes,
and are carried by the smartest wo-
men, They are called "Chamberlains'
Thus you see even admiration and
politics play a part in style trends.
HOW DESIGNERS WORK
Designers, too, have a trick OF trans
muting danger into romance and con-
fusion into variety. AS an instance
of what we mean, not all the skirts
owe their interest to width, to very
short daytime and very long even
ing length, but the eye is lured to the
front of the skirt with aprons. They
are tied over skirts for all hours OF
the day. They come plain or embrold,
cred, or lace-trimmed; they are small
or big, and when they are used, the
back Of the skirt is plain. This idea
of course, came into being from the
peasant costumes of Central Europe
Czecho-slovakia having been to the
fore for long time. This is an ex-
ample of how sympathy, also, In
fluences style trends.
Do you see how this idea can b
utilized by us to dress up an other
wise plain frock? And peplums. too
are back; some are short, others long
and they may be either the sarse ma
terial, or a harmonizing color. Yo'

COSMETIC COUNSEL
Last week we told you how the skin
functions. and why it is so important
tn cleanse it properly before you re-
fire. When you arise the next morn
inc. dash plenty of good cold water on
vonr face. but do not use soap. Also,
do not think your skin is clean even II
Won have been in the habit OF using
either soap or cleansing cream In the
morning. -,

sorbent cotton-the ones which come
in a box, just for this purpose anu
are called Co-ets are fine ana nnose
convenient to use-moisten 1t WIN

haven't any in the house, use wltcn-
hazel-or an astringent, it your SKIN I,

Thought your face cIean! Because
1ne oIl-giands beneath the surface OF
YOUR SKIN continue to work just as
consistently wnen you are asleep as
when you are awake, and excreIlons
exude through the ducts, your pores,
continuously. Your circulating blood
stream pours it's life-glvlng elements
into your body, the Oii-glandS continue
to throw off the waste matter they
have no use for, and these cannot be
removed by any agent which does not
counterfeit the oil itself. OF course
these excretions are not visible to the
naked eye, but they are there just the
same, and if you could examine tiny
portion of your skin under micro
scope, you would see the entire per-
Torrance.
AS it is, you only see the effect
when you look in the mirror, the first
thing in the morning. Your face may
seem to you to be either dull, color
less, or shiny and apparently lifeless
or it may be just washed out or pale
looking, but if after you have remov-
ed all the accumulated residue OF the

PERSONALIZING STYLES,
TRENDS
We promised to tell you this week
how you might work out to advan-
tage the lovely pastels shades that
will be prevalent this coming season.
Suppose you have light or dark day
time frock that you are wondering
how to freshen up, and impart
spring like note in so doing. Get or
make or have made for you plain
bright blue or pink, or green, or yell
low or orchid wool coat with loose
lines and sloping shoulders. The col
or will depend upon adding the right
accent to your own coloring, and the
shade of the dress you wish to wear it
with. You will find this bright note
will not only make your frock more
becoming, but will add blithe lift
to your spirits, for no one can be
prosaic, nor a frock seem dull, when
you are wearing lovely, singing col
or in which to be out of doors.
If you are blonde, and your eyes
are blue, your skin fair, blues and
pinks and yellows will lend you spark
lie. If you are dark haired and skin
ned, greens and orchids will do the
same thing for you. And il you are
medium in coloring, have brown hair
and either gray, dark or blue eyes,
pinks and greens, of the shades that
will suit you best, will flatter you
and make you look your most alluring
elf. If you have auburn hair, blue
eyes and fair skin, greens and yell
lows are your best bet, and for those
who have hair that has. turned or is
turning gray or white, you can wear
blues and pinks and greens without
CHALLENGING your world, and you will
certainly enhance your appearance in
no small way, and become your most
charming self. Colors, you now, have
definite psychological effect upon
us. In some of them we are our most
exuberant selves; in others, vaguely
aware that there is something wrong
somewhere in what we have on. Wear
the colors that you are your happlest
in; they are almost sure to be the
most becoming and have the pleasant
est effect upon those with whom you
come into contact.
BLACK STILL USED
AS a consolation for those who de-
pend upon black to wear for daytime,
formal or informal occasions in the
evening, Schiaparelli and Ballencia
both defend black against the on
slaught of beiges and blues. To be
on the safe side, wear "a touch OF color
with it. White is most effective fol
practically all types with black, and
bright belt, handkerchief, bag, rib

that will do away with the sombel
effect all black has in Spring and Sun

risks" and then proceeds to design
clothes that rival the Biblical Joseph's
coat of many colorS.
BETWEEN SEASONS
An inbetween season fabric is wool,
and today it can be had in flowered
designs, as well as plaids and checks,
and the flowered ones will pave the
way for the silks, linens and cottons
that are to follow this Summer. GlaZ-
ed and printed linens and cottons have
reached such heights of perfection to-
day, that they are scarcely recognize
able from silks.
So all in all, the variety and beauty
of style trends this coming season
leaves you wide choice of both fab
RIGS and the kind of frock best adapt
ed to the type you are, and we hope
that "Stepping Stones" contains sug-
gestions that will help you blossom
forth as your most charming and at
tractive self, and enable you to plan
ahead of time to refurbish and add to
your wardrobe to this end.
ADAPTING THE HAIR-DO
Now as to hair-remember first
that it is really the frame for your
face, and is should be SO arranged
that it brings out and emphasizes
your best features. If your face il
round, wear your hair with an upward
sweep to add distinction. If YOU
face is oval, and narrow, your. hail
should be arranged in soft curls OF
either side of your face. If it is wide
wear your hair smoothly and fatty a.
gainst your ears, large curls above
your forehead.
Remember too, that no matter how
much your hair may wave or cur
naturally, if it is very soft and fine
a proper permanent wave given by
really skillful operator will give
body and make it easier to arrange
Also. it is poor economy to have
so-called "cheap" permanent. Yo'
have only one head of hair to last yo'

Georgetown's drawing of the pole
position in the mile relay champion
ship and Maryland's acquisition OF
lane No. in the distance medley
relay bolstered local hopes for sue
cess in the Penn Relays this week
end, according to an announcement
of track positions made today.
Catholic University's entry in the
Mason-Dixon Conference mile relay
also was favored by drawing lane
No. 2, while Maryland's team in the

run No. 3. American U. is slated to
run in the inside lane in the Mason
Dixon event.

medley and Maryland is 11th of II
teams in the 4-mile relay.
Georgetowns freshmen mile relay
team is 9Th in a field of II.

High School Net Teams
Routed by 'Outsiders'

Freshman tennis teams Of two To-
cal colleges proved too much for a
pair Of interhigh members yesterday
when Georgetown and Maryland
representatives turned back Western
and Central netmen without losing a
match. The scores in each instance
were 90.
Western. however, gave the Hill
top frosh more of battle than Gen.
trail did Maryland, for six of the
nine matches went the limit of three
gets. All Of Marylands victories
came by straight-set decisions.
A third interhigh member took a
licking when Roosevelt bowed to St.
Adams. 5-3. Cowan. Lee, Manger
and Asher accounted for the Saints
singles points. while Cowan and
Chewing paired for the fifth.
Georgetown Prep's racketers also
had rather easy time when they
blanked Charlotte Hall, 10 Titus.
Dumas and Burns scored in both
singles and doubles for the little
Hoyas.
