I Brighten Landscape With Frost-Fooling Sports Outfits Of Fleecy, Warm Materials Wool Ski Suits To Buck Blasts Brass Buttons, Double-Breasted Effect Shows Military Trend "The cold wind doth blow and we shall have snow"-and what will poor coed do then? That isn't so hard to answer. Why, don her warmest clothes and nakethe best of the icy blasts and snow. The Michigan col- lege girl is used to good cold weather and disappointed if there isn't snow. She'll get out .her ski suit (bright colors, if you please) and have her- self a time playing in the snow. Gab- ardine and wool seem to do the best job in keeping the cold out. Ski suits this year follow the military trend- but definitely-brass buttons, the double-breasted effect, and a hat like the captain's. Bright blues, reds, yellows and greens are used to accent the outfits. Short Skirts For Skating Maybe you prefer skating to ski- ing even though the falls are harder to take. If so you'll trek down to the pond in a bright-colored skating skirt and jacket. Little-girlish, to be sure, but we're betting that while you're cutting those figure eights you'll receive more than one look of approval. There's nothing like the new fluffy wool jackets and coats with bright red and green linings to keep you warm on those afternoon or evening hikes. It's fun to hear the snow and ice crunching under your feet, but it's more fun to be good and warm while you hear it. "Red Flannels" Practical Heavy flannel shirts are probably the best solution as to what to wear under winter clothes. You'll most likely want to drag out your red flannels, too, because some way or other the day gets colder and colder the longer you stay out. Yet, it's fun to be out-of-doors, but it feels good to come back in and get warm again and feel your face, hands, and For 'Smart' Speed ~r 5I u / t Mittens Make Useful Present Fur, Gabardine And Lambskin Mean Warm Hands In Winter By BETTY LEWIS There is no better Christmas gift than mittens and caps to keep you warm for winter sports and ordinary wear outdoors. Mittens offer the most room for imagination and originality. Woolen ones knit in circus stripes look very gay on one of those dreary trips to an eight o'clock class. Or you might try them in an Indian design for some- thing really different. There are also woolen knit mittens that have little zipper pockets on the back of each glove. This type is dis- played in contrasting colors-bright red mittens with medium blue dia- mond-shaped pockets. Fur Mittens Warmest If one wishes to emphasize pretti- ness rather than gayety, there are the usual fluffy mittens. White bunny fur ones look very soft and feminine-- as long as they are clean. For ordi nary campus wear natural bunny fur mittens are often seen. Fur has the advantage not only because of its appearance but also because it is very warm. Mittens in a very fluffy lamb's fur are also very practical for that reason. For heavy winter sports such as ski- ing and tobagganing, there are bright colored gabardine mittens with lea- ther palms. This type has elastic at the top and at the wrist to be sure that the snow and wind are kept out. For extra warmth they are lined with flannel. Gabardine ski caps with vi- sors can be had to match these mit- tens. Lambskin forgSkiing Another kind of glove that will real- ly take the snow is the type, often dis- played also for men, that is made of lambskin with the fleece turned in. This kind is probably the best from the standpoint of durability. For the head, babushkas with a drawstring around the neck to pull the scarf tighter are new. Some of these babushkas have pompoms on top for decoration. Sonja Henie "baby I caps" look nice and do a neat job of keeping the ears warm. Or if you real- ly want to show your contempt of the weather, old fashioned ear muffs will serve the purpose. Many of these woolen breeze-scar- ers can be made at home. It might be a good idea to look around for old moth-eaten sweaters to be remade into bright, warm scarfs, mittens and caps. Conservation of precious wool and keeping healthy by not getting cold are two of our patriotic duties now. For Extra Warmth Your sister would love a pair of bunny-fur mittens to show off to her school friends. They're all beige and white and silky; her hands would be warm as toast all winter. In fact, you'll like them so much you'll want to wear them yourself. Different Gifts Can Be Found In Paper Sacks The last word from Washington suggests that Christmas shoppers start digging into the paper pile for1 novel presents. Practical housekeep- ing will now include the use of card- board dust pans, cardboard waste baskets and cardboard trays. What's more, fancy coat hangers will also be made of cardboard and covered with colored cloth. In of- fices, strong but lightweight filing cabinets will be constructed of con- ditioned paper instead of pre-war steel. In workshops todls will all bear handles of non-priority plastic. Thus practical Christmas presents will now run along paper lines rath- er than in other modes. Red Flannels Are Still Tops In Fashion; Newest Lingerie Emphasizes Comfort Are you wondering what to give that roommate of yours for Christ- mas? One thing no girl can have too much of is lingerie, and some of the novel ideas that have come back into style today are sure to capture her fancy. The keynote of lingerie this year is warmth. Manufacturers are going to grandma's day for-ideas that will keep the modern generation warm at the reduced temperatures necessitated by the war effort today. Slips of aralac, brushed rayon and other new materials have come to the fashion fore. They come in bright stripes, gay plaids, and dainty flower designs. They will not only keep you warm through the coldest of the winter breezes but are abso- lutely shadow-proof. "Red Flannels" are back again in new and improved versions. They are obtainable not only in all colors of the rainbow but also in all shapes and sizes. Some are designed with a seam up the back of the leg to ,re- semble stockings, others are meant to be worn under your skating skirt or your slacks. Vests and other warm undergarments are becoming increas- ingly popular for classroom and cam- pus wear. The ideal thing for studying in bed is one of the new bedjackets. They come in all colors and types from the most dainty with lace in- set and frills to the good old plaid flafnel shirt you swiped from your boy friend.- i.6 ,^ s . 0 " ''b: a .Q r s H ef .Js "r w i "JINGLE BELLS L MOTH E R s' \ SISTER The kid sister will appreciate almost anything, from wooly mittens to angora sox . . .

May we toes thaw out in front of a crackling fire., nice, Coeds Reluctantly Relinq'uish Nylons For Scorned Lisle This year it's mesh silk, rayon mesh, isle mesh, lisle and, of course, plain rayons for the legs. Perhaps these are not as enticing as the well remem- bered silks and nylons, but we have to admit they're more sensible and definitely more durable. It all started when a Japanese bomb suddenly dropped on a small Hawai- ian harbor way back sometime last December, yet in the short space of a year, we have accustomed ourselves to shortages of all kinds, to syntheti- cally-made materials, fewer clothes and to the once scorned cotton stock- ings. Not only has lisle mesh had its grip on the bloom of American woman- hood, but so has a brand new shade of hose for dress wear. It's almost opaque, dark, feminine, and very slen- derizing. Shoe Fashions Bow To Rules Of War Board Shoes are just beginning to show the effects of war restrictions. Two- tone shoes are getting scarcer, and leather soles and heels are gettinga more plentiful. In spite of this, how- aver, the college girl still has plenty to choose from, including new styles designed to meet the present condi- tions. The loafer is still a winner, and is now made in a great variety of styles and colors. If you're the casual kind and like to slide down the corridor, loafers are for you. In the shop windows we see many pumps; classic spectators, smooth al- ligator styles, and trick jobs in pol- ished calf. A popular shoe is the plain pump with walled toe and pert little bow. This is seen in suede with gros- grain or suede bow, and calf with a matching bow. They come in Dutch- boy heels to please the U. of M. coed who wants to wear something com- fortable when she tours the campus. She also will be delighted with the good looking platformed spectators with squared-off toes. For the girl who clings to her spike heels, there are alligator pumps in brown or black, very eye-catching, and gorgeous with her wool date dres- ses. suggest that you stop in to - see' our selection of gift items and let us help you decide?
