Hearth Clustering Has Its Advantages By MARY ANN CAMPBELL Ever since women got all sorts of rights, mainly the rights to vote and compete with men in practically every possible field, there has been a good deal of discussion about whether or not women ought to be worried with careers instead of clustering around the hearth and seeing about dinner. There are, of course, all sorts of positions few women could handle Very well or would want to have For instance, who would want tc he consulting engineer on a gov ernment dam project or head a huge printing and engraving establishment? On the othei hand, there are fields open tc women like clothing, perfumes fashion writing and home eco nomics, where they can shine anc follow their natural inclinations Careers for women in sports are limited to things like tennis badminton, skiing, skating, anc swimming. They aren’t liable tc be great football or basebal players, but after reading one oi Paul Gallico’s lampoons on the average damsel all red in the face and dripping perspiration as she staggers off the squash court who wants to be so terribly un attractive, even for a short time Fundamentally, the average woman wants to be attractive nc matter what she may say, anc there isn’t any reason why she should swerve from improving fcl* 1.98 Siteping, lounging "shirt 'n slacks" — |ust like a man's Wear the notch collar open or closed... shirt tails flying$ or tucked in.

The feminist movement was a great thing, and it’s wonderful that a woman can have a career in any field she chooses, no mat ter how much it may appear to belong to men, but there are lots of filthy jobs it’s not worth the trouble to go after if there are men who want them. That sounds overwhelmingly lazy, but when there are men who like hard work, why should women want to interfere? Most women prefer marriage to a career, anyhow, and making a man think you’re wonderful for a long period of time is pretty much of a career in itself. The current Broadway show, Gertrude Lawrence’s “Lady in the Dark,” expresses the idea as well as anything we could say. Gertrude Lawrence plays the part of a woman executive, who has al ways subconsciously yearned to be a glamour girl and torch singer, but who wears severe suits and is efficient and brisk. The most intellectual and bril liant woman who feels she isn't attractive would doubtless change places in a twinkling with any woolly-brained, helpless blonde who never misses a dance, even though she may seldom, if ever, pass a course. Flowers on View Collections of spring wild flow ers gathered around Eugene are now on exhibit in the museum of natural history in Condon hall.

The theme, “Hawaii,” was car ried out in intricate detail. Gor geous murals ambitiously cov ered every inch of wall space. The east end of the room became Waikiki beach complete with dancing girls and the eternal moon, while the rest of the walls depicted palm trees and tropical flowers in full color. The prosaic matter of ventilation was unpro saically and uniquely dealt with by cutting through the murals wherever a window occurred so that the refreshing night breezes which drifted into the dance seemed to come directly from the island beach, waving the palm fronds which hung over the win dows. A star-incrusted blue canopy entirely covered the ceiling, pot ted palms added reality to the illusion which was so deftly cre ated. Dancers received leis which swung around their necks as they moved to the dreamy Ha waiian music of Fred Beardsley’s orchestra. —Jean Spearow.

WITH NEW YOtK BUYING CONNECTION Apparel — Accessories Furs — Toiletries — Milliuery Atmobelle to Wear Sparkling Gold .Dress By JEAN FRIDEGER When Annabelle Dow, Junior Weekend queen, rides down the mill race at the canoe fete on her royal barge her dress will sparkle with hand-painted colors on a background of gold lame and white satin. The glamorous brunette will highlight the Arabian atmosphere in her dress of white satin, with its low waistline and back drapery emphasizing her slender figure. “The costumes will be sprayed with multi-colored paints that add much to the spectacle,” declared Don Shirley, designer. Over the eye-arresting dress the queen will wear a gold cape with a long train. Magenta and gold strikes the color note of the princess’ cos tumes. The dresses will have wide bands at the waist line and will be cut to give the effect of Ali Baba’s pantaloons. The stiff bo leros will be sprayed with orien tal colors that will bring out the lights in Princess Helen Angell’s hair, make Princess Barbara Todd’s dark eyes glow, and cause Barbara Neu and Jean Burt to sparkle. The girls in Queen Anna belle’s court will wear high jew elled turbans. Coronation costumes will be of sheer organdie with full bell sleeves. Lace insets in the sleeves will be repeated in the skirt. White was the color chosen for the queen, while the princesses will wear lavender and green. A tight bodice with front buttons describe these coronation gowns that are at last escaping from the “sweet girl graduate” type of Junior Weekend dress.
