EVENING HANPS and day hands shown t. Easton shows her beautilul ha:i CLOTHES AND COSMETICS-(c°n.-ed) conventional, or because they are eager to wear their new ciothes. Rush parties and faculty teas find girls in velvets, light dress wools, and crepes with black the predominating color. As Arizona ' s football games are held at night, the co-eds find that practical spectator fashions are wool suits, tailored dresses, or sweaters and skirts. WINTER. Winter comes inconspicuously to Arizona. As mornings grow darker at 7:40 and the air chills abruptly of sundown, the in- evitable sweaters and skirts become uniform apparel. Winter brings with it the season of formal dances. Girls look glamorous in jerseys, satin, taffeta, velvet. Because nights are cold, her formal wrap is a fur coot or jacket, a wool coat, or a velvet wrap. For just ordinary week-ends her date or church dresses ore usually silk crepe, with a sprinkling of wools and velvets. She needs few dress shoes, as she wears them only on week-ends. The girl on the budget usually plans a basic wardrobe color, so that she can wear the same accessories with everything. A highlight of this season is the intercollegiate rodeo. Everyone is infected with the rodeo spirit and dresses western for a week or more. Almost nine out of ten girls own a western outfit— not only for the rodeo, but because they are inexpensive and practical for picnics and riding Her outfit may be a denim, skirt and plaid shirt, or frontier pants and levis. A more complete outfit includes cowboy boots and hot. SPRING. There is no abrupt transition to spring either— it just be- comes increasingly difficult to study as the second semester wears on. There is a prevailing desire to go on more picnics, an increasing number of fraternity pins ore hung, and girls dream wishfully of new clothes as they wish for more time to sun bathe. As early as March, a few cotton dresses are seen in classrooms. If there is a chill in the air, a wise girl odds a light sweater. Pinafores are popular in cotton, as are two-piece wash dresses or cotton suits. Girls who hod never sewed a stitch before mode themselves simple skirts gathered on a bond this year Spring formals mark the appearance of white and pastel gowns in cotton, tulle, or organza, with on increasing favoritism toward tropical prints and a few bare midriffs. Main grief of the season is the increased laundry. Almost without exception, co-eds do some of their personal laundry. White shirts and wash dresses cost the girls more energy or a higher laundry bill. 1940 will be remembered Dmong othe. things OS the yeor tha t Pre ident Roose velt w OS e tected fo r a third term.
