Cur musical menu has been quite exten
sive since our last CM issue. Great have
been cur appetites, and great has been
their satisfaction.
<>e are very proud of our '46 graduate,
Matti«.ilda Dobbs, who gave a soprano re
cital at Friendshp Baptist Church, Febru
ary 2. The program began with 17th cen
tury selections, followed by Faure and
Schubert. iss Cobbs Sang the aria "Pace,
Pace, io Dio" from Verdi's "LaForza del
Uestino", which won her a 1948 Marian an-
derson award. Then followed a group of
I'egro Spirituals. The audience was most
appreciative and called for several en -
cores. SpeIrian was well represented a-
mong those present, and duly proud of her
daughter. Mrs. Irene Dobbs Jackson, sis
ter of the artist, and also a Spelman
graduate, assisted at the piano.
ns an added treat Miss Dobbs sang in
Sisters Chapel the morning after her reci
tal at Friendship Church.

Those who saw the Junior ExtraVagan-
: Za had an opportunity to get an early
, glance at some of the latest spring gar-,
ments.
The smart green plaid cotton suit dress
worn by charming altoise Chenault was most
appropriate for office as well as snorts,
date or shopping with a guick change of
accessories.
Jacqueline Hill .ore a yellow cotton
print ballerina with black ballet slippers,
ohe looked very demure, giving an appear
ance -uite typical of Jackie.
Berthena Hunt chose a green butcher
linen vest and skirt with a green and white
plaid blouse, The skirt featured the new
padded hips which made a stunning appear
ance .
Helen Cochrane nearly stole the show
wearing her flirtatious and feminine pet
ti couat. It was kelly green taffeta with
three rows of ruffles and was supplement
ed by a kelly green taffeta cummerbund ;
these were worn with a navy bolero suit.
Another "show-stealer", Oc.ru • ashing-
ton, modeled a light ..eight grey striped
wool dress-suit with a flared skirt and
bracelet sleeves. She used very effec -
tively black patent accessories.
The theme for spring appears to be the
ballerina skirt, dress, coat or suit and
the frilly petticoat.
If you feel you cannot afford a petti-
couat, try this — add approximately two
yards of e3 r elat or organdy ruffling to an
old slip. You may add bows or trimming to
individual tast. fhis ~ives a nice effect
and a longer slip. Eut be veryrcareful
of you size in ..earing these. Short girls
and heavy girls should pass this fad by.
The current trend in fashions demands
a dainty, demure, and a delicate you. You
can do it, start nowj
by Busoni; Dhooin - Fantaise in F Minor,
Scherzo in B Flat Minor; Liszt arrange
ments of Paganini's ^ndantino Capriccio
and Schubert's "The Trout". For the last
group Miss Harrison used ^uchmuninoff's
Moment Musical, .Minuet, "Lilacs", and
Jelobinsky’s Valse, Nocturne, and Toc-
cato.
Bach number was received with hearty
appreciation and after continued applause
