Now wearing the olive-drab and
navy blue of their country's uniforms
Well over a million service men will
be the particular objects of the Christ-
inas gift machinations of families,
Y's, the USO and other civilian agen-
cies. s
Regardless of the lists of "fitting"
gifts for the boys and the attractive
displays at the "post exchange" coun-
ters in the metropolitan and other
tIepartment stores it is of paramount
Importance to remember that sol-
diers, sailorstand marines alike have
substantially the same tastes and de-
sires as they had before their en-
hstment.
Compactness And Portability
Any gift for a man away from
home would be well received by the
hation's dfenders. The only quality
peculiar to :the service mai is the
desirability for compactness and por-
ability.
These qualities are probably already
embodied in their housewife (sew-
ing kit, no sex) and toiletries, so un-
less you have something especially
luxurious in mind I would leave the
supply of this sort of item to the local
PX.
The military life being what it is,
utilitarian in form to a utilitarian
end, utility in gifts will be especially
welcome in the wigwams of the Great
White Father's braves.
Filling the triple-bill Of occupying
spare time for which there is small
diversion, amusement per se and
keepingthe lads on he post instead
of quandering their pay in town is
the old standby: a good book.
If your stalwart is one of the un-
fortunates who did not get a Christ-
mas furlough no time wold be more
fitting for a "generous"-let's make
that "huge"-box of homemade stuff
to eat. In adition to being always
apropos, this sort of gift has the per-
sonal element so much missed in the
ordinary associations of the life mili-
tary. ,
Slippers, Too
The civilian mind rarely associates
the fireside institution of the bed-
room slipper with army life. With
the exception of maneuvers, however,
they are indeed a useful article.
Then, as a climax, for one who
would not only give, but would also
make a lasting impression there are
the miniature comptometer-combines
now being advertised as watches.
These will remove the last danger of
the human element in modern war-
fare during the Emergency and make
your memory literally live for many
holiday seasons to come.
'Them Days Are Gone Forever:'
Pipes To Be Given This Year:
But Not For Men Of Michigan
Styles Change As
By TOM COLLINS
Gone are the days of the ankle-
snug trousers and the seven-buttoned
coats.
Intheir place Collegiana has sub-
stitute1, the shoe-top pants and the
!,drape, three-buttoned suit jacket.
Back in the old days when Grand-
ma was carrying her little umbrella
and making eyes at Grandpa, the
well-dressed ,mansrepresented a cross
between a big-time gambler and to-
day's jitterbug. He wore trousers

suits, high-buckled shoes and carried
flowers behind his back. High on his
head was perched a bowler hat now
used to take ug collections.
Them days are gone forever!
Covert Andi Tweeds
Today the weldressed male is seen
in covert cloth end in ,x ough tweeds.
The drape model accentuates his chest
development, a vest helps keep his
tie from flying out and his trousers
are lifted just above shoes in order
to afford a glimpse of sunset-orange
socks.
More conservative college males be-
lieve in the now-you-see-them-now-
you-don't maxim with regard to the
length of trousers in relation to socks.
They wear their cuffs slightly lower
and feel guilty when the wind blows.
Some go so far as to tone down the,
color of their socks.-
Another improvement on the art of
wearing trousers well is the new slack]
effect. This is achieved by a slight
narrowinghdown process around the
region of the knees-a matter of tak-'
ing in the rousers about four inches.
Knitted ties are still in their glory
and look best with covert or tweed.
Polka dots are up in the attic with
the. moth-balls and the moths. Pais-
leys are {paisleys and look better in
store windows.
Camel's fHair Coats
When breezes blow, overcoats are
in style. There are coverts and there
are camel's hair coats, herringbones
and non-descripts. If you don't pos-
sess this "must" for nippy weather,
you're out in the cold. The best ad-
vice to be followed in that case is to
wear the family antique which has
been handed down by your ancestors.
The shirts with buttoned-down col-
lars look well on businessmen. But
that's no reason for Collegiana to
jump the gun.
Gabardines are a question with
many college dressers. Clothing stores
are still selling out of them, and if
that is any indication of trend, ga-
bardines may be placed side by side

do no good. You'll either have to send

If you are now taking Ec. 51 and

we mean a smoking pipe and we're

But, yes! we do mean you can raise

Air cooling has become quite the
