To Ge By Harriet Clare Sinkler Fashion Commentator Spring's fashion basket fairly bursts with ite bouquet of eciti. ing new shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. The arrival of this multitude of Interesting new comers was only hinted at by winter's subtle introduction to the free, easy fashion dictated by -Paris. The general shape of things seems to suggest a return to the styles of the 20s, but the remark able innovations executed by the world of fashion make us wonder just how much is repetition. The flapper influence is perhaps most noticeable in accessories - shoes pointing up large bows, straps and elongated toes; hate in the shape of bretons, c1pches, and sailors; large, bulky jewelry preferably hanging. One popular number of this era bears men tion. The "middy" has adapted itself to numerous inventions of stylists in one way or another; its easy fit, wide collar and pleats achieve their forte this season with little variation from the original. Shock Effect For several seasons fashions have been approaching the chemise which serves as a stand ard for the majority of current trends, but the new era has nevertheless made a very sudden and splashing debut. It seems al most as if the world attempted to disregard the oncoming revo lution but was finally swept along with it. Of course there is nothing to guarantee full ac ceptance even now; many turn a blind eye to the dresses which defy the contours of the body. Most of the shocking new sil houettes pay tribute to Spanish designer Christobal Balenciaga who literally slapped the fashion world in the face with his shape less creations. It was left to the late Christian Dior, however, to adapt them sufficiently to make an appeal to women. De signers of the House of Dior have made great strides in an t attempt to dull the shock of the new silhouette. The untiring efforts of fashion stylists are manifested in the many variations shown this spring. The Blouson is a promi nent example; it strikes an in between mark by retaining the slender skirt and topping it with a bloused bodice, giving more of a hint at the figure than the chemise. Many otherwise severe shapes have been softened with pleats, drapes, fullness and belts, all giving a wide choice within -the, realm of acceptability. New Name. Some of the more sensational variations indicate a swing in the opposite direction, however, by increasing fullness from SZeta, Kappa Schrader Ruff has recently been elected president of Zeta Tau Alpha social sorority.
