PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, NOV. 24, 1942 Snow And Walking Will Call For Furs n Winter Wardrobe Frivolous Hats Ate Feminine War World Does Not Deny Right Of Fairer Sex For Chapeaux Don't believe, girls, that the men will not love you in a "silly" hat come Christmas time. The college girl even in a war world must preserve her femininity and it is unforgiveable to believe "him" when he makes some slighting remark about your choice of head frivolity when you start the rounds of vacation parties. So if you'have been bracing your- self against, saying, "I'll take this one," when the saleslady holds up that adorable hat you have tried on for the last two weeks, by all means carry it home with you. White Hat for Holidays My selection for blue ribbon honors this season is a white hat for the holidays. One is shaped close to the head like a skull cap, made of white feathers. Two of the feathers stand straight up in front, veiled just a tiny bit with black netting. You will probably have some black date dres- ses' and there is nothing smarter than a white hat and perhaps white doe- skin gloves to set off the "always best dressed you." ,Also eligible for honorable mention this season are the hats in purple and American Beauty rose. Those of you who think you can't wear purple are really in a minority. Tall hats are just as popular as the frilly ones and very smart with your dressy wools. A stun- ning purple hat, severe in lines, is shaped somewhat like a private's hat. Perched jauntily over one eye it is really a "second looker." Don't be afraid of color. If purple is not for you there is moss green, done like a fedora, in very soft felt. Extreme Hats Unusual Extreme hats add to your original- tty and separate you from the ordi- nary. Hats in the shape of derbies and some even resembling Salvation Army bonnets are new and different. Black, as the all-time favorite, can be found in an endless variety. I like them small with black veiling. They give you that sophisticated air hardly attainable on campus. But if the small off-the-face hat does not be- come you then try one of the huge, floppy-brimmed hats, unadorned and so soft.

C. Handy. r r i i I r i r l 1 Transportation Hinders Supply Of Evergreens Many families may have to steel themselves to doing without Christ- mas trees in this coming war Christ- mas. No actual shortage of trees is expected; the problem is how to transport them. The open-top box- cars that normally pull into city terminals full of Christmas trees in December are needed for Army and steel transportation. Also, suburbanites who like to string colored lights through the trees on the lawn and set up elabor- ately-lit cheches in the rock garden at Christmas will curb their decorative bent this year. People who haven't already got strings of lights for the indoor tree will wait until peace comes to light it electrically. which formerly characterized it. However, even though the fur has been glamorized, there's one feature about it which has remained un- changed-it's still just as warm and durable as ever. If you're blonde, a 'gray kid will emphasize your coloring as no other fur can. An especially attractive mod- el has a small silver clip at the neck and its sleeves-gather on to a small band at the wrists, a perfect cure for drafts.. Try a gray kid coat with that new blaze red wool you got for dating this fall-it's a guaranteed success! The soft smoothness of the musk- Old Silk Stockings Turned Into Cash At Athens College The students of Athens College in Athens, Ala., devised a new use for silk stockings in their efforts to think up a way to raise scholarship money. They collected 500.000 pairs of old stockings and had the silk in them rewoven. The money thus obtained was used to provide several four year scholarships. If your frenzied efforts to find that different and inexpensive Christmas present have been unrewarded so far, why not get one of those wallet-size folders which can hold twelve snap- shots. They're very good looking, made of stitched saddle tan cowhide. rat is still tops with the college gal. The two most popular versions are the mink and the sable-dyed musk- rat. Despite the sleek appearance of this fur it wears beautifully, its long guard hairs protecting the soft under fur. One of the favorite campus mod- els has a small collar and reversible cuffs which you can fold back when you want to feature your new brace- let-length doeskin gloves. Shorter Coats Smart Perhaps just a fur jacket will fill your needs. If this is the case, have you seen the "beaverettes"? They're a grand adaptation of that smooth brown fur and add that "right" note to your new date dress. Or else you might like one of the new thirty-two-inch fur coats which are a compromise between the length of a fur coat and a fur jacket. What with defense courses, extra studying, defense jobs and so on, slacks are a necessary part of every woman's wardrobe. This year slacks are designed to make even the girls who are too fond of cream puffs look attractive. If you want to make a big splash, there are zoot suits of the peg top variety, with roomy side pockets and a fit at the top that will really hold your shirt tail in. Slacks of this type are specially designed to be wrinkle resistant and yet to hold their knife-like crease in front, so as to make a girl look like a real B. D. W. O. C. :laids Are Shown In case you want to be sure that everyone sees you, you might try a slacks outfit in a bold plaid. Stores are showing a special one-piece mod- el in plaid that is made like a jumper above the waist. With it a long- sleeved crepe blouse looks very smart. Or you might try a conventionally designed slack suit in a loud plaid, if you think your figure can take it. Such an outfit is guaranteed to make you look collegiate, if nothing else. A practical suggestion these days is to purchase one of those three- piece outfits made up of jacket, skirt and slacks-all matching. In view of the quick changes that are de- manded of women now soiething like this ought to come in handy in going from First Aid to dinner to vold~nteer hospital job. Gray Flannels Are Classic If you are considering giving some- one slacks for a Christmas gift, gray flannel ones are a good choice. They seem to be the most popular and look nice for almost any occasion where slacks are in order. But for defense factory work or heavy work of any sort 'slacks in a dark shade of gabardine-or maybe blue denim-are always best. At any rate, whatever the informal occasion may be, there are slacks-and be- coming ones too-to fit it.
