MYSTERY OF THE SEMESTER:
\\ here Does the Silverware Go?
Where do the knives, forks, and spoons
that disappear from the dining hall go?
This is a question that our dietitions,
M 1 SS M innie M. Felton and Miss Helen
Yeomons would like to have answered.
During a recent check it was discov
ered that many, too many, of these items
are missing. The tragedy is that the dis
appearances far exceed the rate of re
placement.
Many of us believe that meals in bed
is tbe chief reason for the walking cut
lery. It seems that a close check in the
dormitories would reveal the whereabouts
of most of the missing items. But this
would not account for all of them. For
we must remember that Spelman students
sometimes rake their quota of silver in
the trash.
In all seriousness, however, it seems
that the location of some of the missing
items must remain a mystery unless they
are voluntarily returned by those students
who removed them. Who knows? One
day you may walk into the dining hall
only to he confronted by the sign: Bring
Your Own Silver!!

FADS AND FASHIONS
Hello Girls! Clothes conscious? Being
at Spelman we all are, hut the smart
college girl doesn't have to have an
unexpirable bank account to be fashion
able and tastefully attired. There are so
very many short cuts to being admirably
dressed.
The new nylon sweaters which have
appeared on the scene in the last few
months are truly a blessing to the college
woman. Not only do they look as well as
cashmeres (especially when they contain
a small amount of wool), but they are
adorably soft. They are so launderable;
and they come in all of the beautiful
pastel shades.
We cannot help hut note the new shade
which has bioken out like a rash this
year. The shade and its variations are
especially popular on our campus in
skirts, sweaters, and jackets. If you
haven’t already guessed, it’s rust !
The tweeds which are so very popular
and have been holding their own for
two seasons cannot be overlooked. For
the girl who can afford to dramatize her
figure, the straight tweed skirt is posi
tively the last word. For those of us who
aren't so lucky, the semi-flared ones with
hack fullness are just as smart.
We have all taken notice of the new
wool jersey blouses, which range in hue
from calm pastels to the most startling
shades of blue, green, and red. With
such a variety of colors it is easy to
chose the one that is most becoming.
Now let us take a peek at the more
formal side of the fashion picture. The
opera pump is still on the throne as the
most popular dress shoe. There are vari
ous innovations in heel height and style,
hut it is still the favorite, and is appro
priate with not just one, but several types
of outfits.
R S DAY
AFTER
Variations of taffeta and faille have
taken a rocket to popularity for occa
sions which call for a more “dressed up’’
look. The darker colors—navy, brown,
and black seem most popular.
Have you seen . . .
Sally Burton's gray corduroy suit with
the white saddle stitching . . . Thelma
Southerland’s mustard corduroy suit? . . .
Plaudits to Sadye Harris for her navy
wool jersey skirt with the very unusual
pockets, and to Virginia Moreland for
her rust corduroy dress which was fea
tured in Junior Bazaar . . . Frieda Mc
Ghee’s royal blue and maroon shepherd
checked suit is really applause-worthy;
with it she wears gray suede pumps which
are adorable . . . The exceptionally good
taste which is Maxine Wilson’s is exem
plified in her beautiful teal blue suit . . .
Among the casual shoes, Gwen Jackson's
beige and brown ones are not to be over
looked . . . They are very chic indeed.
Well, here’s to fashion "till the next
issue!

CHARM SCHOOL ORGANIZED
Attention girls! Do you lack finesse?
Are you guilty of an ungraceful car
riage? Do you need some pointers on
the art of make-up? Are you behind on
your social manners? Could you use
some suggestions for fashionable and
appropriate dress?
The S. S. A. has already anticipated
your answers to these questions, and has
created an organization that is an an
swer to a maiden’s prayer. It's the
Charm School, the organization whose
aim it is to disseminate knowledge con
cerning all the factors which constitute
the charm and finesse of a lady, and to
provide opportunities for the application
of these principles.
The Charm School proposes to realize
this aim through discussions, lectures,
fashion shows, and various social func
tions.
Although a comparatively small num
ber of girls have enrolled, the number
is increasing steadily. So become a
member today. See Joan Purvis, active
and talented coordinator of the Charm
School. And go to it girls . . . it- all
yours!
