I In, the members disproved the old adage a seeing is believing, by showing Be illusions in dress which can be oil- lined through the receding effects of Ihrk colors and dull fabrics, or the short- pning effects of wide contrasting belts. I Each student prepared a chart which Idicated her choice of ensemble for Ivrt. business, and social wear, based hon height, weight, coloring, and type. Be also could check herself on a rating rale for personal appearance. I The Clinic, to be held the third Friday I; each month in room 408, is open to beryoiie. Subsequent demonstration lec- lares will include ensembles, grooming, Hosturc, and speech.

Investigation Reveals New Spring Models on Daring Few Now that the well-dressed collegian fltears white shoes all year round, wool sweaters in summer, and pastels in win ter, the speculative expressions with which she pages through the fashion magazines on the first sunny days arc practically the only indication that sprig is here. Well, almost. Deep academic research, however, has uncovered incontrovertible evidence that Mundelein students know their Schiapar- tlli as well as their Scipio. and that news of military shoulders and yard-wide hat brims are almost as absorbing to them as are social problems and Elizabethan drama. Margaret Byron has bagged the first spring robin, and wears him. in felt, on a sin and bracelet. Ruth Mader has gone cavalier in a huge-sleeved dotted silk- blouse, and Rosalie Wiora looks Parisian in her Spanish classes wearing blue 'Mad der anklets. Exhibit D shows Kitty Keller's patent leather-shod feet, the first of the season. with toes squared and upturned. Lucille O'Connell looks gayly extravagant in rose-colored alligator pumps. Adele Ross affects the childish motif in a fragile white baby blouse. Paris says little flower-garden hats, and Mabel Holmberg wears one consist ing wholly of pink blossoms and a cloud of black veiling. Spring has gone to Betty Kreuzer's head, too. She's wearing her blonde hair in three Scarlett O'TTara curls falling from a black velvet bow on the crown of her head. Yes. definitely, spring is in the air. Catholic U* Drama Director Describes, Lauds New Plays The 500,000 George M. Cohan auto biographical show, Yankee Doodle Bov, which was produced by the drama de partment of the Catholic University of America this year, was described in some detail by the Reverend Gilbert B. Ilart- ke, O.P., director of the department, in a lecture here last Friday. Cohan's life story, which was given to the Catholic university and dramatized by Walter Kerr, brilliant young Fvanston playwright and teacher there, had a suc cessful run in Washington and now, Fa ther Hartke remarks, Every movie house wants it. Turning then to the current Broadway theatrical season, Father Hartke noted that there are 50 percent fewer plays on Broadway this year than there were at the same period in 1939, attributing the de crease to the rise of little theatres and to the fact that Broadway will not take a play unless it is sure that Hollywood will buy it and thus oflset loss it may incur. Starless casts were approved by the drama expert, who names two advantages of no-star productions: 1 the focal point may be shifted; 2 unrecognized talent may be employed. The best play on Broadway, said Father Hartke, is Time of Your Life. The author, William Saroyan, shows kindness, understanding, and insight into human nature. Tn the play, even unfor tunate characters reach out to something good. He considers its stars, Julie Hay- den and F.ddic Dowling. more than ca pable. Father Hartke described Maxwell An derson as a man who is sincerely search ing for a God. In Key Largo, Anderson makes one point, Father Hartke notes that a man must have ideals for which he is willing to live and die. Home Economics Class Is Quest of Epicure Author Arnold Shircliffe, artist in foods, collector of historic menus, and author of several books on menu planning and buying, was host to the class in insti tutional buying on Feb. 22 at a luncheon at the Wrigley Building restaurant, of which he is manager. Mr. Shircliffe explained the system of buying and accounting used in large in stitutions, and conducted the students on a tour which included everything from the restaurant accounts and a tea table which Cnce belonged to Charles Dickens. to the mediaeval-looking wine cellars. The guests were Helen Ahern, Marion Bollman. Josephine Driscoll. Peggy Her- rigan. Jaunita Mayer, Roberta Scheid, Ann Vidok, and Ruby Zenn. The delicate and exotic foods of Ha waii were the piece-de-resistance at the luncheon Helen Ahern and Joan Kas- pari attended Feb. 27 at the Blackstonc Hotel. The luncheon, sponsored by the N. W. Avers advertising agency for the Ha waiian Pineapple company, whose ac count they handle, was designed to show the opportunities in advertising open to home economics graduates. Represent College Representing Mundelein at a symposium sponsored by the Literature group of Cis ca alumni last Sunday were Betty Ves tal. Skyscraper co-editor, and Joan Morris, Mary Margaret Mitchell, Bar bara Ohab, and Betty Lou Riordan of the Review staff, Phyllis Fuener, Ruth Mader, and Ruth Klodzinski. The meeting, held at the Auditorium hotel, considered F. J. Sheed's Ground Plan for Catholic Reading and surveyed Catholic popular and academic periodicals. Sh(Ri gt; French Qarb What the well-dressed bride of Pont T.'Abbc will wear in the spring, and the official costume of the bagpipe player of Bressan, as well as other peasant cos tumes of France, were shown in an illus trated lecture sponsored by Les D'Ar- ciennes on Feb. 20. Beautifully illuminated slides of var ious colors were accompanied by descrip tions of French customs. Plagoustel- Daoulas. Bordeaux, Macon, and other provinces and towns were represented. Tells of Styles Miss Marion Van, staff member of Madamoiselle, and manager of Carson, Pirie Scott's Career Girl shop, gave Alpha Omicron an advance tip on spring fashions, on Feb. 26. The war influence, she stated, in a lecture here, will be felt not in military motifs, but in simple functional clothes which are 'pretty' but grown-up. The present bizarre models, with their sad dle-bag pockets, zebra stripes, and needle-slim formal skirts have been cre ated in a moment of hysteria. New Book Grant Shows Democracy vs. Dictatorship Even innocent communications can be tied up with the international complications of today, as a study of the latest shipment of books from the Car negie Endowment for International Peace to the International Relations club will show. The books form a symposium on democracy versus dictatorship. Eduard Benes, former president of a former great democracy, is profoundly convinced that the struggle for the free dom of human personality cannot die, in Democracy Today and Tomorrow. Fourteen scholars have contributed ar ticles, edited by Guy Stanton Ford, to Dictatorship in the Modern World. Toward an Understanding of the U. S. S. R. by Michael T. Florinsky is an attempt to appraise the evolution of the Soviet State during the first two decades of its existence. A brief historical re view prepares the background for the analysis of the structure of communistic Russia. The much debated problem of Ameri can neutrality what it is, how it can be applied and enforced, what effect it has Upon a world at war is clearly set forth in Can America Stay Neutral by Allen W. Dulles and Hamilton Fish Armstrong. That the second world war will not go on forever, and that at some time it will be necessary to make peace terms and readjustments to a changing social order is the message of Ernest Minor Patterson in Economic Bases of Peace. The books arc available in the club library, Room 404, to all students who are interested in current affairs. Police Head Talks On Crime Aspects Captain P. B. O'Connell of the Chi cago Police Department, head of Town Hall station, addressed members of the criminology class yesterday in 508. His topic, Aspects of Crime and Crimin ality, included a discussion of police methods, the apprehension of criminals, techniques of detection and crime solution, and the relation of the citizen to the police force. Captain O'Connell is the father of Patricia, senior sociology major. Dr. C. J. Wittier, chairman of the department of sociology, is professor of the course. Help Maryhousel Maiyhouse, Chicago Catholic Worker House of Hospitality for women, is the recipient of household furnishings donated by Mundelein stu dents. Much is still needed, particularly in linens. Students wishing to contribute sheets, pillow cases, or other supplies may bring them to the Sodality office in 306. Donations of money will also he accepted. 'Round Town With Betty Vestal Simply to prove that Lent needn't be dull because of its more restricted so cial life, we offer a supplement to last issue's program of places to go and do Round Town. The Bishop who jotted it down, the Reverend Francis C. Kclley, D.D., of Oklahoma City and Tulsa, speaks at the Charles Caroll Forum on Sunday after noon at the Palmer House. The prelate qualifies to address his audience on The Future of Christianity in America by vir tue of his position as president and found er of the Catholic Church Extension so ciety. Don't miss Bishop Kelley his plat form manner is comparable only to his recent best-seller excellent. Hear Maurice Leahy The Forum scores again in a St. Pat rick's Day scoop recently engineered by its director, the Reverend James A. Mag- ner. Maurice Leahy, the appealing young Irishman who spoke from the Munde lein stage last fall, enters the Forum lineup, March 17, to describe The New- Ireland. Also in the afternoon 3 :30. Sunday night, March 10, at the Opera House. Jan Kiepura, popular young Pol ish opera and movie star, will be beard in recital. Some of us who recall the two charming performances during the opera season in which M. Kiepura shared vocal honors with his wife. Marta Eg- gerth. will be intrigued at the chance to hear the tenor half of a smooth team. And now- -we're not going to he drawn into the be-whiskered Picasso and/or san ity conflict. After your visit to the Art Institute (we infer you've made it) catch the show in America Fore Gallery, 844 N. Rush. The exhibit of prints, water colors, and sculpture by members of the Chicago Society of Artists will remain on exhibit until March 10. Secure Saint-Saens Notes for recordings: Give yourself and your guests a shiver with Saint- Saens' eery Dansc Macabre, ghoulish and fanciful tone poem of a night in a cemetery. (For the final touch, play it at the stroke of midnight, with all lights off ) The record, on a 12-inch 2-side plate, carries with it the prestige and pre cision of the Philharmonic. With the money you might have saved by abstinence from this or that, secure a complete Nutcracker suite, obtainable in a single album at several of the larger music stores. Most of the Tchaikowsky sketches are familiar and you'll want to play them running. Trial By Jury, the Gilbert and Sulli van satire, is also available in entirety. You'll go for the recitative and the Og- den Nash predecessive verse of 50 years ago.
