In the Women's World

Open work brim is the unusual feature of this bright red cord and felt bonnet worn by Lesley Woods. John-Frederics use the simple Larkshead knot-commonly used by cowboys for fastening a saddle to the horse-for this effective model. The small crown hugs her hed and a shirred end of the felt is drawn through the brim. Her red and black dress is one of this season's popular bold prints.

Checks in all shapes, sizes and colors are fashion favorites for daytime, sports and evening frocks. Caryl Smith, who wears a navy and white check crepe tunic frock which is especially suitable for the tall girl. Checks require simple styling, such as the convertible neckline, turnback cuffs and navy leather belt of this model. (From Henri Bendel, New York.)

Diary of a Beauty Authority By HELENA RUBINSTEIN

(In this week's column, presented as a special feature to the women readers of the newspaper, th noted beauty expert the way to leg and foot beauty.) WASHINGTON, D. C. - Although I have visited this city many times, I have never before seen so many women working here. They have come from all parts of the country to take part in the important war activities now being carried on in our capital. I have spoken to several of these young women and despite the fact that they are head over heels in work and apparently have little time to think about their personal appearance, all of them looked attractive and very well groomed. They seem to be planning for beauty despite war shortages and to be preparing sensibly for the future. Many girls were concerned about the possible textile and stocking shortage, which will mean that skirts will be shorter and bare legs in fashion. One nice-looking girl even called me aside and confessed that she was afraid her legs were neither well-groomed nor shapely enough to bare up under the increased attention that this situation would mean. I told her that she must devote some attention to the grooming of her legs and advised a double-duty treatment which includes a hair remover and a legstick or foundation for the legs. A quick, odorless method of hair removal is the wax epilation. Once a month apply heated wax to the legs in strips and when the strips have hardened, pull them off quickly. The hair comes off, leaving the legs smooth. Then apply cream to the legs to soothe them and keep them from chapping. A legstick smoothed over the legs provides a beautiful, satiny coating for them. This will take the place of stockings in the summer and will give the skin a rich, lovely color. If your legs are not as shapely as you would like them to be, then you need specific corrective exercises. Here are a few: To Banish the Bowed Appearance 1-Lie flat on the floor, bend knees and place soles of feet together, pulling them up to knees together without moving feet from position. Relax, repeat. 2-Lie flat on floor, knees bent. Hold a ball or book between the knees and press knees together, keeping feet apart. Relax, repeat. For Knock-Knees, Practice These 1-Have heels touching, feet turned outward. Do a kneebend, forcing the knees outward. Repeat 20 times. 2-Lie flat on floor, bend knees outward and have soles of feet touching each other. Press right knee down to floor, keeping knees apart; then press left knee down to floor; alternate, keeping the knees apart through the entire exercise. Repeat 20 times. Limbering Routine and Massage Movement When your legs feel tired and heavy and there's an evening of dancing ahead, practice these: 1-The Leg Push-Hold on to a chair or a bar with one hand. Lift one leg with bent knee, then push leg forward, straightening knee. Do this with your legs and body perfectly relaxed. Repeat with other leg. 2-The Leg Draw-Lie on the Floor. Bend knees and place feet on floor and let them glide forward till legs are straight. Repeat 10 times. 3-Lie down with your head on a pillow, bend one leg and grasp it at the ankle. With even strokes, manipulate your leg from ankle to knee, moving your fingers toward your heart. 4-In the same position as above, stroke the sole of the foot from toes to heel with strong pressure on the ball of the foot.

Pique is glamorized for this summer's most popular dance frocks. You'll find this crisp, cool material a country club favorite this year. Columbia network actress Judy Blake wears a youthful white pique model, which is embroidered in blue and yellow forget-me-nots and dotted with colored sequins. The very full skirt, which is edged in strawberry pink lace, is ideal for waltzing. (From Joni, New York.)

Gay chintz of pink roses on a white background and black stripes make an effective bouffant skirt on this romantic summertime dance frock worn by Ann Thomas, heard on Columbia network's "Bright Horizon" series. Her bodice of tucked white organdy is laced with narrow black velvet ribbon. (From DePinna, New York.)

Striped sheer tunic over a slim black sheer skirt, worn by Columbia network's player Betty Worth, is a good buy for late spring wear and right on through the dog days to come. Crisp white pique collar and cuffs, pearl and jet buttons and patent leather belt are in keeping with its simple silhouette. (Mollie Purnis Original No. 611.)

Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

U-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

As a rather sharp contrast to the days of practicing for the "Follies" last Saturday night, the accent this week was on athletics. All classes were dismissed after the 10 A. M. sorority, fraternity and independent contestants were out on the field battling for the rest of the day. No one missed the Faculty vs. M Club softball game, for it was, to say it in the good old college slang, "a riot!" Dr. Paul Eckle, as pitcher for the teachers, shot a hot ball over the plate. The M Clubbers had a hard time beating the stubborn profs, and at that the score was only 8-4. Maybe if all the football teams are drafted, colleges can start matching their faculties. Well, it's a thought. Laughs and oozing blackberries characterized the pie-eating contest, which was made a little difficult because entrants could not use their hands to help them. Dottie Levin, in the girls' contest, and Harold Goldstein, in the boys', chewed their way to a rather messy victory and were proclaimed "University Champion Pie-Eaters." I'll not mention the effect on their digestive systems. Most novel event was the pushmobile race (and, confidentially, it was just a matter of which pusher for each car could last until the finish line. Lambda Chi Alpha, whose team consisted of Ray Gorman, Ed Hlasnick, Joe Chuprevich and Dutch Trobliger, proved that its boys had the most resistance. Winners in the events for women were: 50-yard dash-Joyce Davlin, Independent; 75-yard dash-Marie Quintana, Independent; 220-yard relny-Marie Quintana, Dottie Turnbull, Joyce Davlin, Muriel Smith, Independents; broad jump-Nell Pearce, Delta Zeta; softball throw - Betty Phillips, Chi Omega; basketball free throw-Martha Kautzman, Sigma Kappa, high jump-Muriel Smith, Independent. Points amassed by the different groups were Independents-33; Chi Omega-11; Delta Zeta-11; Zetan Tau Alpha-8; Kappa Kappa Gamma -6, Sigma Kappa-6, and Alpha Epsilon Phi-2. Winners in the events for men were: 100-yard dash-Walter Watt, Independent; 200-yard dash - Walter Watt, Independent; 440-yard run-Al Barrs, Kappa Sigma; 880-yard relay-Al Adler, Don Vetromile, Jim Phillips and Walter Watt, Independents; high jump - Bob Kolz, Independent; shotput-George Jahn, Lambda Chi Alpha; broad jump-Russ Coates, Lambda Chi Alpha. Number of points won by the different groups were Independents-44; Lambd Chi Alpha-20; Kappa Sigma-8; Sigma Chi-4; Pi Kappa Ahipa-1. Comes the good news from our roving tennis players that they won all matches played while on their trip north, among them games with Cornell, Harvard and Rhode Island State. Tennis players who went on the trip were Billy Gillespie, Guy Garber, Clyde Stoddard, Tommy Kahler, Billy Blake and Jerry Crowthers. The fame of the U. of Miami is being spread to the frozen North. Even though the "Follies" was long last Saturday night, some of the skits were very novel and worth waiting to see. Winner of the sorority plaque, Kappa Kappa Gamma, presented a modern version of "Little Red Riding Hood." Taking part in the skit were Jane Rankin, Betty Batcheller, Nickie Evans, Ann Wedderspoon and Mary Jane Davies. Just to provide the right spring atmosphere, Mary Krimmin, Barbara Kent and Madlyn Anderson scattered among the audience spraying the air with dime-store perfume. Winner for the fraternities was Phi Epsilon Pi. Members of that group presented a take-off on radio drama. Part of the skit was called "Outersanctum" and another part, "Mis-information, you're welcome."
