Bulletin but they were offered by Miss Evelyn Hansen, dress specialist from the Chicago Art Institute. "I have suggested that several girls shorten their dresses," asserted Miss Hansen in an interview with a Bulletin reporter. "1 see three types of girls here," she continued.

"First is the over-dresied, extreme, land-a fellow girl who wants to make life all play; so she plays with color. But she has not learned how to play with color any more than she has learned the true meaning of play initsoher aspects." "However, I see more of the over-conservative type here who wear somber colors, and long snirt and who can be spotted as school teachers as far as can be seen. The best dresaed teachers, of course, aiv those who strike the happy medium between these two types," she added. "To be sure, the extreme overdressed type does not attend my lectures and conferences," che explained. "She already knows how to attract attention and that is her sole aim.

I will say that I have observed very little jewelry worn on the campus and wtfat is more I have seen only one pair of lace hose exhibited." In comparing the K. S. N. girls with the business girls of the city, Miss Hansen said the chief difference was in the texture of trie material worn. "The K.
