STYLES BOMBPROOF
Empires May Fall,
But Fashion Won't
By PAT ERICKSON
Bombs can crush an empire, but fashion seems to be made of
more enduring stuff.
In fact, lady fashion is a parasite. When Paris, her traditional
home city, bowed to the blitzkrieg, la mode shrugged her shoulders
ahd moved away to hunt new life. New York, the greedy, welcomed
her with open arms.
She has been a capricious, independent waif, critical of the hospi
tality of Americans, i tie designers
first tried to tempt her by clothing
her in their modernistic impres
sions of trends from American his
tory. She wore the Mormon hat
briefly.
Guacho
But she wanted more color, more
life. A touch of the South Ameri
can verve perhaps? She bedecked
herself in gaudy Latin American
colors, and told everyone she was
creating intercontinental gool will.
Lady fashion became more de
manding. She mocked the war, and
taxed the patience of designers.
They gave her more, ever more
fashions. They brought out the
giddiest American colors and
named them after cacti, deserts,
Indians, horses to beguile her.
They tried to stir her to patriot
ism with red, white, and blue. She
smiled happily and wore their col
ors—all at once.
Memory
But la mode remembered the
season she had been cnchantingly
S'
I
dressed in a wine-color, chartreuse,
and the sensation she had made
then. She became discontented
again. The designers took up world
geography. They gave her Scotch
plaids, Spanish boleros, Grecian
lines. Each new country to make
war headlines became fertile
ground for their fashion research.
La mode wore the harem skirt. Al
pine ruffles, and white for black
outs.
Conservatives look at la mode
and sniff. “Much too much,” they
say, as each new creation is heaped
upon her shoulders.
But American designers arc giv
ing fashion their all, American col
ors, American ideas, American
broadness of scope, and all, again,
at once. They are eager to please
her. Lady fashion is a polyglot
child this spring, but, for a while
at least, it seems to make her
happy.

Purse Fashions
By MABILYNN MILLER
Spring is in the bag! So say our
local merchants, as they prepare
newest styles in clothes and ac
cessories in anticipation of the
warm, sunny days ahead. Already,
some of the better stores have dis
played their first collections.
Bags and gloves are giving
dress creations first-rate competi
tion as they blossom out with many
vivid, new ideas. Among the bags
featured in some of the local shops
i are those in saddle-leather. Still
a reigning favorite is calf. Des
tined to be a big favorite with col
lege girls are the big roomy bags
found in many bright and assorted
colors, nriced at only one dollar.
Cape skin
Good with tailored clothes is the
slim capeskin carrier found in red,
navy brown, black, or the new
shade of green that is so popular.
For you rain amblers, that are still
sure that we will have a few more
showers bfore spring, a spacious
and handsome model in felt in
choice, .perky colors is recommend
ed. Always perennial favorites are
black and white, now found in
flattering sizes and designs. An
especially attractive model, .no
ticed in a local shop, was a black
patnt bag trimmed with the new
sac-de-gord. Two-toned gabardines
in shades of blue are a new feat
ure also.
Pleasing to the eye and money
I saving is the new combination of
suede bag and matching gloves.
Ranging in price from one dollar,
in tailored models, to five dollars
and up, in the dressier styles, the
selection is wide and varied, as are
the large, narrow and small sizes.
Gloves
To match your new bag you must
have some new gloves, of course.
Very attractive are the Keyser
models with multicolored stitching.
Beige, stitched in beige, white
stitched in black, and black
stitched in white, are a few exam
ples. They are all priced around
one dollar. Appealing to the eye
are fabric and suede gloves in nov
elty pastel colors. White pigskin,
beige and white kid, and washable
doeskin are only a few of the many

Milady's Veils Are
Frisky, Enchanting
By A0ELE SAY
A veil is an enchanting thing. It always brings a whiff of per
fume into the room. It does something to a face—magics out the
hardness makes it fresh and breezy as daffodils on a hill; captivating
as a spoiled kitten.
FASHION must have guessed that this spring, tired ladies wanted
frisks and frills, more light pretty things to compensate for the stiff
military mood the world is in. So out of the hat-box pops—not severe
triangle crossed with sabers, but a buneh of meadow flowers dancing
into a soft veil.
When milady walks into the square this spring, she will be no
coat. Glory-red, Florida-pink, navy,
white, new-blue, rico-tan, adobe,
natural, and medium beige, will all
catch your eye. You may think that
you will exceed that monthly bud
get of yours by investing in some of
these collections, but the low prices
will amaze you, and even if you
feel that you can't afford them,
you can have fun just window
shopping.

Plays Its Part
In Latest Coats
Belted, fitted, loose, swagger
coats you’ll find them all on the
Oregon campus this spring.
What’s New—a two-piece suit
and a topcoat of pastel glen
plaid is. Try this outfit in oat
meal, pearl blue, and gold, add
a brimmed bonnet and your
date's spring, ’41.
Casual Campus Coats—here is
one coat in the world that han
dles Eugene's flirtatious skies
and critical men with equal ease.
The military trend has hit the
camel-hair coats—backs are now
belted. There's a new classic
loose coat of sharkskin fleece
just right over campus clothes
for spring evenings. You’ll love
this one in a creamy beige.
Wrap-arounds in country cream,
sea green, or honey are all click
ing.
Shirtwaist Collars—yes, on
coats and they’re so right you'd
gladly pluck them off another
coed’s back, if you had to.
Fling them over your shoulders
in cross-campus dashes. Wear
them to the Side ... or into
town. They’re snug enough for
“convertible” comfort on chill
evenings.
Marching Coats — in mad
March weather, a rain or shine
lieutenant’s trench coat in white
cotton gabardine is the answer.
White rubber Gaytees give that
added something.
Dress Parade — every design
ing Oregon coed will be wearing
l,
smart navy reefers with white
collars or lapels. Gold buttons,
chevrons, and military gadgets
make you feel like fighting. Your
sailor berets add a plus mark in
fashion. The pastel dress coat is
a flared swagger with a huge
fur collar piled high.
