EUGENE’S FASHION CENTRE
COED
of the
WEEK
By BUCK BUCHWAC1I
Betty Lou Brugman, the sopho
more oomph gal with shimmering
golden-red hair, is the Emerald's
choice for coed of the week, but
she should he the males’ selection
as the woman of the year.
For the 19-year-old hazel-eyed
beauty defends the Oregon males
to the hilt, says they are the nicest
of all.
“They’re the most fun, the most
natural; they’re the real outdoor
type, and they have no affectation
whatever about them,” thinks Bet
ty, who has traveled from New
York to Omaha to Portland - stop
ping at innumerable cities in the
course of her father’s transfers
from one district to another.
Likes Dirty Cords
What's more Betty thinks dirty
cords or tin pants are suitable for
school. But she thinks overalls are
the best of all—‘‘they’re wonder
ful.” Not on dates, of course. Tux
edos make the man then, for she
i theorizes that a formal dance
1 brings out the best characteristics
of anyone.
Betty gets two more votes from
the opposite sex because of her
views on knee-length stockings
and wooden shoes. She dislikes
wooden clod-hoppers as much as
any sane man, and as for red or
green knee-highs:
“I’ve never yet seen a gal with
legs beautiful enough to wear
them,” she sincerely declares.
She herself leans toward silk
shirts with short sleeves, attrac
tive skirts, saddles, and angora
anklets.
She Radiates
Her radiant personality and bub
bling energy are immediately im
posed on anyone she meets. She
likes most everything. The out
doors, the beautiful scenery in
Oregon, spring, picnics “any time,
any place, they’re wonderful" -
the social life, with always some
thing to do. Anything that hints
of happy, gay, zestful living.
Although she’s a sophomore,
Betty Lou didn't attend Oregon
her first year. She's a transfer
from St. Helen’s hall in Portland,
and she frankly admits that hav
ing boys in classes, in the library,
>vell everywhere, is quite refresh
ing.
But she’s interested in lots of
filings besides boys. She carries 21
hours, “a little of everything,” as
she puts it, and is always on the
Move.
i Her favorite social diversion?
Don’t tell a soul except maybe one
or two thousand friends, but Betty
Lou says the most fun of all is
coming home after a date during
the weekend and staying up till the
wee hours, listening to each soror
ity sister telling of her trials, trib
ulations, glories, and experiences.

Wnsliington’s Wife
Knew A Few Tricks
By MARY ANN CAMPBELL
The calendar points out that this Saturday is February 22, or George
Washington’s birthday to all “educated intellects.” YOU know, cherry
tree, “I cannot tell a lie,” crossing the Potomac, tossing cash across
the Delaware, paternal ancestor of his native habitat, all that kind of
thing.

February Sun
Inspires ' Toad'
On Clothes, Etc.
“Gosh, Daff—look at all the
spring outside!” Toad threw
open the windows and leaned out
recklessly in the sun. “Or maybe
you could call it summer?”
“February.” Daphne grunted
from behind the covers of “Dope
Fiends I Have Known.”
“I bet I could get a good old
sunburn today hey, did Marge
ever give me back my fuchsia
shorts?”
The blast from the windows
seemed to be bringing Daphne
to life. “Fuchsia shorts my foot;
do you want to be in bed two
weeks with pneumonia?”
“Oh pneumonia, oh measles,
oh flu,” Toad jeered, “Who ever
gets them?” She continued eag
erly, “Oh sleeping sickness, oh
leprosy ...”
“Okay,” Daphne loudly inter
rupted, “Where were you the
week of December 14, and why
didn't you go to the Senior
Ball?”
Toad squirmed. Daphne at
times exhibited an unnecessary
love for accuracy.
"I wonder what color of spring
coat I should get. And I wish I
had something effective for my
neck . . . wooden beads or
ivory ...”
“Or a rope?” Daphne queried
sweetly.
“This is too much,” Toad rose
and began to move briskly about ^
the room. “I am now going out
to purchase a spring wardrobe.
"I hope you find a hair rib
bon yott like,” Daphne remarked
as the door slammed.

the feminine viewpoint, we can't
help wondering what his wife
thought of her famous husband.
After all, imagine being married
to a man you thought was a per
fectly plain Gentleman Farmer
and then have him turn out to be
the First President! Think of hav
ing, Right In The Home, too, a
Man Who Couldn’t Tell a Lie!!
And Valley Forge!
Not too bad to have to worry
about what to wear to the Inaug
ural Ball, but on the other hand,
what would be chic for a winter
with the troops at Valley Forge?
The whole romance seems to
have been a love-at-first-sight af
fair, dating from a visit Martha
made to some friends not very
long after her first husband died.
In those days the General was a
mere colonel. The wedding was
pretty gaudy, with Martha decked
out in a white satin quilted petti
coat, under an overskirt of white
corded satin shot with silver. She
also had pearls in her hair and
diamonds on her slippers.
Buckles Here anil There
The groom was arrayed in blue
and silver, trimmed with scarlet,
and gold buckles here and there.
Martha was no more George’s
first love than he hers. He had been
falling in love with various local
belles since he was 15, and con
sistently had been given rejection
slips. When they were married
they were about 26.
Martha was the sort of wife who
did whatever her husband wanted,
whether it was clustering around
the troops with hot soup and band
ages or being the Ideal Gentleman
Farmer's Wife, or First Lady. Also
it seems that whatever she did,
she did well.
She outlived her husband by
Early Spring Brings
Clothes a La Mode
New York, parly as a crocus, Is
already bringing forth spring fash
ions. Among some advanced ma
terial received are descriptions of
the new lines for spring clothes.
The Greek influence looms tall as
a pillar; harem skirts, boleros,
trousers, and tassels will adorn
milady; peplums are coming back,
frisky ones that go out in the back
like bustles; hems are going to be
amusing—draped up, slitted, and
curved. Without a rickshaw, mi
lady will follow the Chinese in a
coolie jacket, stripes will prome
nade, and shoulders definitely
slope. Balenciaga-type coats will
swing along America’s Broadways
in the Easter parade.
In line with the New York cro
cus are Oregonites who are swing
ing along into spring. Ruth Con
don catches a piece of fragrant
daphne in her brunette hair. Bev
erly Goetz wears an old-fashioned
blouse in pastel stripes with high
white collar at the neck and white
cuffs. Winie Green plays with the
sunshine in fuzzy pink and blue
sweaters. Jane Gray is English as
a pudding, in a beige mannish-cut
suit. Sloping shoulders and wide
Russian sleeves make Betty Poin
dexter’s white silk blouse luxur
ious and the red eagle on the pock
et makes it piquant. Dolores David
son dances in a red plaid suit that
looks like tea-dates and red roses.
