She is independent of the Parisian designer choosing the more comfort- able and attractive as well as ec- onomical models instead. It is her privilege to take a sweat- er belonging to one outfit and com- bine it with a skirt of another suit thus making two suits go a long way. In so doing the modern college wom- an's wardrobe is more economical than in the past years. It is not unusual to see a sorority woman down on her hands and knees stretching out a sweater that she has just laundered. The newest skirts are circular in form- ranging in color from the calmest grey to the most outlandish plaids which can only be subdued by a plain blouse or sweater. The odd jacket completes any outfit. The swagger suit of shepherd's plaid will be headlined as the most popular costume for the class room. The coat is sufficiently long to serve on chilly days with plain sport dresses. It is ideal for the early foot- ball ;games as well as "tea" dates especially when eombined. with a smart "Highland fling" hat, purse, 'gloves and shoes to match. For the days when a heavy coat is necessary, it is convenient to have at least one knitted dress or a tail- red frock. One dress can appear miraculously different with a change of collars and cuffs.. These assessor- ies will be in the limelight as the most important part of any ward- robe. In the selection of clothes, one predominant color scheme makes it possible to have a complete outfit at any time. An additional fact in favor of the knitted frocks is during the after dinner hour in any sorority, dormi- tory, or league house when the time is spent in knitting over the inevi- table idle gossip. Soft woolens in the glow crinkle yarns as well as boucle for the dressier ocacsions are es- pecially popular. Large wooden but- tons in modernistic shapes complete the dress effectively. One of the most attractive dresses fir the class room comes'in the new camel-suede material reminding one Cardigans Popular Formals For This Year Show I" "]""** I Cardigans are popular with 'the student for campus wear. These in gay colors over plain skirts are ap- propriate for the class room. of last year's uncut velvet. This model is ideal in that it doesn't wrinkle easily or get shiny, and is also inexpensive enough for anyone to squeeze it in the skimpiest allow- ance. It comes in tailored models. Suede shoes will again reign for fall campus wear. Brown oxfords combined with a green kid trim were noticed in one shop. The low heeled shoe is not only the most oppropriate, but also the most comfortable for school with the auto ban continuing to operate. The fall hats are the most flatter- ing to the average face that they have been in years. The "jockey" hats with the brim hiding the one eye ranks along with the saucy "bell-boy" fash- ions in popularity especially when made up in autumn colors. The pert feather trim makes any hat look jaunty. SHOW SOFTER TONES The exotic nailpolishes shown dur- ing the summer months are being re- placed by the softer fall tones, rose and gold. Although a flare of color is striking with an evening gown, it is too conspicuous to be in good taste for daytime on campus. Natural and shell are more appropriate. Although short hair' cuts with a natural hairline in back and soft curls on the sid is most in favor thiss year, as always any coiffuer that is becoming is acceptable. The new formals which will be seen at all the smart campus social functions this year are more color- ful and romantic than they have been for years, with styles ranging all the way from exotic Medici in- fluences to copies of Hindu women's costumes. Or, if these two extremes don't suit your taste, choose something in between, - a sophisticated formal with intricate Grecian drapery, or a military-looking formal, perhaps in- spired by the threatening Ethiopian war, trimmed with jaunty braid. The richest colors of the artist's palette have been chosen for this season's formals, and when the deep shades of mulberry, purple, andl green, are made up in velvets and crepes, they are almost breath-taking. The fabrics are varied, too, with an old favorite of the Gay Nineties, change- able silk, back in a prominent posi- tion in the fashion news. Florentine Influence Present Metallic materials are again pop- ular, although designers are using lame and gold-threaded crepes and taffetas with even more originality than last year. The Florentine in- fluence is found in the popularity of jeweled clips and belts copied after the intricate gold jewelry of the per- iod, and some of the beautiful ham- mered gold pins, set with rubies and emeralds, seem worthy of Lucrezia Borgia. One of the most striking formals we saw on display among the new collections was made of flame chiffon, simply draped, and copied so exactly after the ancient Grecian costumes that it might have stepped right from the Parthenon frieze. Bands of gold encircled the full skirt and crossed over the shoulders in front to form the narrow belt. Taffeta, Striking Another unusual dress that would; be perfect for the campus social events was a dark changeable taf- feta that changed from black to] red or blue under the lights. It was cleverly made and boasted a fitted1 jacket that made it as practical as1 it was good-looking.c Though lace and tulle have tradi- tionally been considered too sum-, mery for wear during the winter, thei designers are paying no attention to old traditions and are showing many would have caused lifted eyebrows lovely dresses in light materials which and scornful protests several years ago. An outstanding example of thisc type of formal was one of tulle, shad-i ing from pale pink at the top down to deep rose at the hem of the bouf- fant skirt. Yt was simply made, de- pending upon its cut and color for its smartness, but the result was ul- tra-ultra good-looking. Black Velvet Popular On the opposite end of the fabric scale from tulle lies black velvet, and this fabric is being used in many of the new dresses. Our favorite was one which combined the velvet with. black lace. The lace was used for the bodice and tied in a tiny bow, and and had short cap sleeves, a dress guaranteed to look as smart after a hard winter's wear as when you put it on for the first rushing formal, Drapery seems to be an obsession with fashion designers this fall, and it is not surprising that there is an amazing number of draped formals being shown in local shops. Some of the dresses have folds of the material' looped at the side, while other have the drapery at the hipline in the new front fullness. One dress we saw caught our fancy, because it fitted tightly in front and then flared out jauntily in back. Its material was pink moire, and it had a demure square collar and cap sleeves. Perfect For Brunette Dark green is stunning in a formal, and even more so when it is used in a metallic striped taffeta, as it was in one dress we saw. It was made simply with a fitted skirt and .nar- row straps, and would be perfect on a tall, sophisticated brunette. No article on fall fashions would be complete without mentioning vel- veteen, which has become one of the foremost fabrics in fashion headlines. We saw one in a luscious shade of purple, with a little-girl effect of a button-on bodice. However, it had a very grown-up back, fastening at the neck, and then widening out. We always thought jersey was such a nice practical material for school wear but we certainly were laboring under delusions. The first thing we knew they were showing jersey for evening wear. It's a little dressed up, though, because it's shown with me- tallic threads. We especially liked one formal we saw in black metallic jersey with smart under-arm shirring. What more could you ask for, that is, if you want to be popular, and who doesn't? FAVORITE COLORS Favorite colors for fall are rust, green and brown, these three colors often being encluded in the same dress. As usual, black is still a pop- ular color. Newest Shoes Combine Style And Comfort Oxfords Are Shown With Low Heels And Variety Of 'Leathers And Shades Even if you have never walked much before, you will while in college. The long treks from one building to another at the opposite end of campus between classes will soon im- press upon your mind the need for comfortable shoes. Comfort and style is combined in many of the models shown in local stores. Those extremely sporting ox- fords shown to go with your camel's hair coat or swagger suit have low leather heels and are made in all varieties of leather. Some of the latest styles have fringed flaps at- tached to the tongues. They are made in buckskin and in almost any color you might want, brown, black, grey and even navy blue and green. Combinations of colors are shown in other models. One style uses navy blue and chamois color, another brown and rust and still another brown and green. A -dress sandal in suede combines brown, wine red and tan and is stitched in the pattern of leaves. Gabardine is being shown in dress shoes. Either as a contrast to a dark dress or as a continuation of the color scheme of your outfit, fabric shoes are being made in shades of wine and green. Incidentally, hose are also being made in these shades. For very dressy shoes which are not quite formal sandals, satin or velvet umps are quite the latest thing. Formal Headdress Shows Ornaments To add that regal touch to your new formal wear an ornament in your hair. They come in all styles and designs to go with every shape face and hair style. An unsual coronet is made of gold to grace the head of the fair blond with a headdress ,.of curls. A very interesting silver clip inset with rhinestones is worn just above the ear holding back a roll of curls. For the headdress featuring a curl at the side of the forehead ,a special ornament has been designed follow- ing the curve of the curl. Another type is the ornament which encircles the back of the head just above the nape of the neck. It is made of silver and is brightly stud- ded with jewels. Still another varia- tion is the use of flowers in the hair. Gardinia or daisies are wore in a row at the back of the head or single- ly at one side. If one prefers to wear earing , the clip style in plain gold or silver hoops or jeweled are still popular. i\ 4l CWARNERETTE) Twor- way s/ rc ch It's sole mission in life is to smooth young hips-and with- out any "bound in" feeling.
