AOPi Formal Today SAEs Plan Norel Dance II Dean Sell leering Discovers Americans Dressed Better Than Continental Sisters “If you see an extremely well dressed woman while traveling in Europe, you may be sure she’s an American," remarked Hazel P Schwering, dean of women, who returned recently from a vacation trip through Europe. Debunking the popularly-held no tion that women on the continent were leaders of fashion, Mrs. Schwering said that an American woman was outstanding anywhere by the smart tailoring and the neatness and excellent grooming displayed in her dress. She re marked that no other women seemed to achieve the all-around distinctness and chic that the American woman does. "The thing that surprised me most," declared Mrs. Schwering, "was the outstanding superiority of American tailoring. They don’t seem to equal it anywhere.” "In France one doesn’t see wo men about a great deal in public as one does here, but those I did sec were dressed in what I considered very poor taste. Their clothes are so fussy, and they use so many ornaments and useless deails,” she said. She expressed great surprise at finding it so, having always con sidered Paris the great center of fashion—the common notion held in the United States. The women of Germany, she re marked, pay no attention at all to their clothes, and use no make-up at all. “They’re all so brown and clear skinned,” she said. “You see them everywhere, out on hikes with their packs over their shoulders, strid ing along, laughing and so glor iously healthy.” According to American standards these girls of the Nazi regime would not be con sidered beautiful, Mrs. Schwering admitted, as they are large and muscular in build, and inclined to thickness of ankle. But their ut ter disregard for their clothes and looks, and the healthy bodies and clear skins gained by their outdoor life give them a charm that is dis tinctly their own, she added.

The Italian women came tne closest to chic of any of the others on the continent, Mrs. Schwering believed. She also remarked that they were the most beautiful. ' Sloppy tweeds and utter lack of care for hair and complexion put the English woman far below her American sister in appearance, Mrs. Schwering remarked. "The English woman is notori ! otisly badly-dressed,” she declared, j "They give very little attention to ! their appearance, and go about in the most incredibly sloppy clothes.” Mrs. Schwering, herself notably well-dressed, brought two smart outfits back from her trip. One in a wine-colored suit, with clever ly-stitched pockets, and jaunty wine hat to match. With it she wears a dull green shirt waist of jersey. The other is a black wool dress and jacket. The top of the dress is black satin, with a high neck and full sleeves. The packet is trimmed with narrow bands of fur. This outfit she tops off with a small black turban.

Warm rust shades, moss and hunt er’s greens, combined with brown, with perhaps a touch of bright yel low all serve to carry out the autumn note and add gay touches of color to the campus picture. Greens seem to lead the fashion parade this fall, and several out standing green outfits have been noted. SHTRLEY COATE, Chi O, wears a soft green suit and top coat on the campus, beautifully tailored, and very smart. Alpha O JO SKENE’S green wool dress, with such fashion notes as slightly fulled sleeves, and small collar trimmed with ruching of the same material is something to notice. And still on greens, MARGARET GOLDSMITH, Alpha Chi, wears an olive-green suit, with a white pique blouse that provides excel lent contrast to her tanned skin and brown hair. BARBARA ROOME, another Chi O, looked charming on the campus the other day in a blue-green dress that did wonders for her dark hair and enviable coat of tan. PEGGV CARPER of the red gold hair wears a becoming blue dress of velvety corduroy, with a dark over check. And her Kappa sister, MARJORIE DONACA’S gray wool dress with stiched pock et-flaps is just the thing for cam pus wear. Newspaper woman VIRGINIA ENDICOTT is very smart this fall in a brown wool dress and coat en semble with a coppery overcheck. With it she wears a vivid green scarf, and hat of the coppery shade, with darker brown trim. “HAPPY” BATTLESON, AOPi, is another wearing a beautifully tailored suit and topcoat. Hers is a herringbone weave, browns with a fleck of rust, and with it she wears a rust satin blouse. Senior Prexy MARGILEE MORSE’S gay bright red knit dress is just the thing with her black hair and olive skin. And speaking of new things, have you seen the new hats that the boys at the Side are wearing? Their names are embroidered on the side—very jaunty they look, indeed. Cnllison Drills (Continued from page three) against Stanford, is waging a great battle with Kenyon Skinner for the right tackle post. Skinner seems to be holding the edge at present, but Foskett will provide excellent replacement material if he does not edge Skinner out by game time. To Drill on Punting Callison is expected to stress punting during the week, because results from last week’s game gave Oregon an average of but 21 yards per kick. The average does not quite tell the whole story, because J of several blocked and partially | blocked boots. Idaho, on the other hand, with her sophomore triple threat star going strong, actually j <vut-punted Ed Goddard, Washing ton State’s all-American prospect, by several yards. The Vandals av eraged a mean 46 yards for the af ternoon.

Up to SNUFF Venita Brous and Ellen Hill Before another week passes, we want to give the DELT’S Blonde Boy, REED SWENSON, due credit for suggesting our title “UP TO SNUFF.” j; > ■. ‘ c . - = i ; - ■ “ ! - • • •• ' FASHIONS AND FLASHES From all reports,' it strikes us that the coeds, this summer, certainly went places and saw things. University of Oregon had representatives at all corners of the earth. Some in Europe, some in the Orient, some in Canada, and some in the Islands. It seems as tho fashions throughout the world are universal. Some of the girls brought back com plete wardrobes. We will endeavor to describe just a few of the interesting imports. ABROAD One of ALICE MAY SIELING’S, pledge of SIGMA KAPPA, outfits is a three piece brown hand knit suit that she found in a little shop in Vienna. The weave is very interesting to the knitters on the campus, it is somewhat of a waffle knit with a cross stitch. The bolero jacket features Leg-’o Mutton sleeves and high neck line. A straight skirt and a coral sweater with a wound sash belt com pletes this outfit. Grey kid caracul is BARRY BAKER’S, DELT*\. GAMMA, choice in fur coats. This one, fitted with a flair skirt, and bell-shaped sleeves that are tight around the wrist, comes from Canada. From Canton, China, DOT LACKMAN, HEN DRICK’S HALL, brought home a powder blue and silver lame tunic. The material is over twenty five years old. It is trimmed with a shirred high collar and buttons to match, down the front. The sleeves are short and puffed. The tunic is worn over a black velvet dinner skirt. TRI DELT’S house president, MARIE RASS MUSSEN wears an evening wrap from Paris, which is one of three in the United States. One belongs to Charlie Chaplin’s lady love and the other to Doris Dawes, the richest girl in the United States. Fashioned in gold and orange flowered brocade, with full three-quarter length sleeves, fitted w'aist, and flared skirt. She has an evening bag to match. AT HOME At Franklin and Simone, 5th Avenue, New York, this summer, CAPPY CUMMINGS, PI PHI, got an afternoon dress. It is made of rust suede material trimmed with chipmunk fur bow and pockets. The dress has a new skirt, flare and longer in the back with a straight front. The sleeves are elbow length and very full. CAPPY wears black accessories with the ensemble. SHIRLEY RISING, ALPHA OMRICON PI. has a three-piece Oxford grey men’s worsted wool suit that came from I. Magnin’s in Hollywood, Cali fornia. Underneath the fitted jacket, she wears a very mannish vest. The vest has two pockets in stead of the customary four. Watch for our Highlights and Brightlights in next week’s issue.
