It all ,began when he asked the beautiful (naturally)
young coed what kind of cologne she was wearing. “Follow
Me!” she breathed and did something tricky with her eyelashes.
“Gladly,” he said. But she was a clerk and th^re was a small
matter of a counter between them.
“Come with me,” he said. “It’s
4 p.m. on the loveliest April day
yOW’vr- ever seen. There are birds
and flowers in Central park and
two mounted policemen.”
The Bird
The floor manager prowled past
and the sweet young thing said,
“That’s Indiscreet,” pointing to a
swan-shaped bottle.
“Oh no, it isn’t. It’s the only way
to act on a spring afternoon,” the
young man protested gaily. “Let’s
fly away, my little Skylark.”
She ducked under the counter
and emerged' with one-tenth of a
gram of something in another bot
tle. She murmured, one oblong eye
on Muscles, the manager, “This is
all we have left of the Skylark,
But there’s always Tweed.”
Hurt to the quick, the million
aire’s cousin accused her, “Tweed!
It’s much too late in the season to
wear tweeds. Don’t you know it’s
too heavy?”
“Try Chanel ,No. 5,” someone
murmured, “It’s light.”
Verboten
Mademoiselle had graduated
from kindergarten—with honors,
and. she didn’t understand this
kind of talk. Firmly she ultimated,
“Sir, I’m sorry to inform you that
further conversation twixt the
twain of us is strictly’tabu.”
“That’s it! That’s what I want,”
he gurgled happily. “Why didn't
yTui say you had some Tabu ?”
Sadly she rustled her pink curls
and regretted, “We haven’t Taboo,
sir. Could I interest you in Shang
hai ?”
“But now we’re getting off the
subject, clierie. It’s still April al
though it’s 4:25 p.m. and I will not
be shanghaied. Are you coming
with me?”
“Mais Oui!” she consented. “But
yes.”
A large lady puffed up. “Did you
say you had Mais Oui?”
“It’s not Worth it!” the young
| man said and’ rushed out into the
spring afternoon.

Although engagements and wed-:
dings are done in wartime style
this year, we seem to find more
and more romantic news. With
graduation and furlough time up
permost in lots of minds, many
couples frantically are trying to
arrange their “I d'o's” in accord
ance with Uncle Sam’s time sched
ule. It looks as though the frater- !
r.ity pins have been put up in moth i
halls for the duration. (We say
this with all due apologies to those
who are lucky possessor’s of such
items.)
Diamonds
The Thetas were one surprised
bunch Monday night when Terry
Watson announced her engage
ment to last year’s ASUO prexy,
Les Anderson. Les, now with the
U. S. arms’-, was a DU on the cam
pus. Tri Delt freshman Marge Al
lingham years a ring from Paul
Mateju of Portland. Can’t say
when this happened, but what dif
ference does that really make ? ?—
From California comes news that
Pi Phi alum, Hope Hughes of Eu
gene, recently announced her en
gagement to Lt. (jg) Charles
Pressman, former Sigma Nu at
Montana and Oregon universities.
They will be married sometime
this summer.

In the spring a young man’s
fancy may turn to thoughts of love,
but the girls all start thinking of
that new spring wardrobe.
Noticed Marilyn Hill making a
lush violet wool crepe dress- gath
ered in front, and Barbara Smythe
working on a white wool dress
with short sleeves and new oval
neckline.
Bee Eec Barnes looks lovely in
grey silk with her fuschia acces
sories and shoes.
Dorothy Vandeneynde wears red
accessories with her grey silk.
Black is still topping’ the list
for date dresses as Joanne Mc
Cready wears a new square-necked
chess trimmed with net—sequins.
Lorraine Davidson looks smart
in a black silk dress with mar
quisette yoke and sequins.
Peggy Hoard has a new brown
stitched wool sport dress. Connie
Fulmer wears red wool trimmed
with gold studded buttons.
Sharkie Older sports a tailored
apple green suit.
Suits
Joyce Jordan left for California
in a new three-piece green suit
trimmed with fur. Patti Van IIoos
ear has an original Hatti Carnegie
suit. It is double breasted.
Even with spring, we still have
those cold mornings. How about
Altlia Paul's pea-jacket to keep
out the cold. Marian Schaefer and
Louise Brundage keep their ears
warm with fuzzy white earmuffs,
A cute idea is Joan Raphael’s
habit of matching all her sweaters
and hair-ribbons with tricky little
earrings. Novel, isn’t it?

Shoe pn&ip&ctd, S'liakte'i;
sSeeld. Still in 0?idefy
By M. M. ELLSWORTH
Remember way back when? . . . when buying new shoes
i was the event of the season and you walked down the street
j breaking your neck to see the shiny new toes? . . . Well, last
j year at this time, with only one ration coupon, the shoe pur
chase was just as important... if for different, reasons.
ioday the situation has changed
| for the better . . . Slice manufac
urers have used their imaginations
and dreamed up shoes outwardly
as good looking' as those of pre
war days and inwardly as patriotic
as war bonds ... no critical ma
terials used.
Aspect Hrighter
We were told last spring that
from then on only black, brown,
and white shoes would be made . . .
Today we can have non-rationed
shoes in any color of your ward
robe.
We were told high heels were
out . . . Today heels can be found
high as high . . . and no coupons
asked . . . things are looking up.
Play shoes that double for dat
ing can be bought for a song tand
no coupons) in any color . . . heel
less and toeless, ankle straps, ties
. . . and a dozen other styles.
From south of the border they’re
still sending us the over-faithful,
huaracho ... as comfortable and
sturdy as a booth at the “Side”
. . . all leather and not rationed.
Sandals, pumps, the new ankle
strap . . . all non-rationed . . .
for dress . . . are the answer to
wartime shoe problems . . . they’re
practiced, colorful, and have nine
lives in their plastic soles.
For that one and only coupon,
if you peed campus shoes, it’s
Oscar Austad's new wooden shoo
with the black and white cow hide
uppers ... or the old faithful golf
shoe made for April showers with
a wooden sole.
No coed's wardrobe is complete
without tlie ever-loved saddle . . .
this year .*. . and better
. . . rationed . . . but well
worth your stamp.
