The nightgowns in the fashion's spotlight are high-waisted and molded to the figure. The materials vary from sheerest chiffon to richest satin, while styles may range from severe tailoring to fluffy naivete. Satin Gown Shirred A sleeveless blue satin gown is print- ed in tiny delicate wreaths of pink and blue flowers entwined with green leaves. Shirring emphasizes its high waistline, while a small pointed col- lar gives a tailored touch. Puffed sleeves and a square neck outlined in foamy lace give an innocent charm to a gown of shell-pink silk. A sheer chiffon nightgown in a delicate shade of pink has a slit skirt. Its neckline of lace is gathered by a drawstring of blue grosgrain ribbon. Small pink and blue daisies are sprinkled over a white silk gown with tiny puffed sleeves and a round col- lar. Lace is used in strips down the front and around the collar, sleeves and hem. Styled Like Formal A purple chiffon gown cut surpris- ingly like a formal evening dress de- parts from conventionally small print with its large lavendar flower pattern. A gown in lemon-yellow satin is trimmed with sprigs of blue flowers.1 Shoit blue strands cross the shoulder and outline the "flying seagull" neck- line and low back.1 Red daisies form the print of aI cream-colored satin gown trimmed lavishly with lace. Two diamond- shaped openings forming a clever back are caught together with shir-I ring. Rainbow-colored fans are scat-; tered over an elegantly cut white silk gown. A group of three white plumest forms the print of a tailored pinkc satin gown, while small red and bluec bars decorate one in misty whitec chiffon. Slit Skirt Featured A heart-shaped decolletage and slit skirt outlined in stiff fluting are the attractions of a gown of old-roset satin. A severely tailored silk gown is distinguished by dark shoulder-.. straps and a wide dark sash. Daintyl hand-embroidered eyelets decorate a gown of dusty blue satin. Another1 made of pompadour-pink satin has al braided belt and shoulderstraps. 1 CLEVER GIFT PACKAGE SHOWN There are several clever gift pack- ages of perfumes on the market.

On the oth- er hand if you desire something a little out of the ordinary you would like the rather loud checked pajamas made of outing flannel. The col- lars and cuffs are in plain solid color and they zip neatly up under your chin. Lounging pajamas are still hold- ing their popularity probably because the designers have turned to fash- ionig them of washable materials such as challis, rayon silks and sat- ,. ins. An interesting interpretation is seen above in the combination of dark slacks . . . as they call them. . with a candy striped top of all colors. The stores show various jackets to ,wear over your "slacks." Fashion Endorses Sl0tirt Boxy Cots I Short boxy fur coats are still good, and one of cocoa-brown beaver could be adapted to any use by a college woman. For going home it might be worn over a cinnamon wool with a pencil-slim skirt. And it would also be excellent to wear over formals for Christmas festivities. The temperature in trains is not to be relied upon, so the home-bound student should be prepared for both extremes of hot and cold. A suit worn under a swagger coat with a large fluffy wolf collar might admirably take care of all contingencies.
