For Made-Over Dresses.

Those who make over their dresses
will find very good idea in the little
slip-on sleeveless boleros. Say that
your dress is serge, the slip-on blouse
will be of the same color. velvet or
satin. 1t is cut with a low. round
neck and it does not meet at all I'M
der the arms 1t is held on and is
shaped by an encircling belt of ribbon
This may be of the gown color or of
silver or gold ribbon tied into a roSette
at one side of the front. If the skirt
needs lengthening. a drop skirt several
inches longer than the original skirt
can be faced up with the bolero ma
.erisl.

Now for Winter Wardrobe.

At the first touch of GOODNESS in the
air, summer clothes begin to look
passe and the woman who prides her.
self upon her appearance Immediately
dashes into the shops in search of a
winter outfit. Straw hats and serge
dresses are now out of place. We must
cover our heads with velvet, felt or
satin, and clOthe our bodies in heavy
broadclOths trimmed with fur.
The majority of women look better
in their winter wardrObeS than in
summer clothes. The reason for this
is that velvet hats make an infinitely
softer and more becoming frame for
the face than straw headgear, and that
furs add UNNECESSARILY to a wOmans
attractions. The richness of winter an
parel is, as ca rule, Immensely fiattering
to feminine beauty.
This year there are some particular
ly lovely styles. Hats are very becOm-
ing in outline, big, broad shapes pre-
dominating. The picture type of hat
is a boon to the woman past her first
youth, as its broad lines shade her
face so that any wrinkles that may
be there are lost in the shadow. The
young girl also makes a striking pic
ture in a big hat, and for this reason
the GainsbOrough type of headgear
is always sure of a welcome whenever
it appears on fashions horizon How
ever, rot all the newest and smartest
hats are big. There are plenty of chic
shapes that are small or of medium
size. These assume all sorts of queer
contours and are trimmed in num-

these successes was the action taken
last winter by the state board Of
regents,-who in view of the policy Of

fee of membership, simply depending
on voluntary gifts for support, and in
planning to grant full privileges in
the new building to every registered
| A. G. student, whether he be mem

to supply heat, light, water and janitor
service for the building. This was
done in recognition of the valuable
service such a building will render to

fare of the men students during their
out -of-class hours.
Old alumni of the A. c. out over the
state, upon hearing of this movement

! in checks to swell the fund. Others
have volunteered time and services to
! help bring this effort to a speedy and
successful end. Men in every section
of the state are interested in this
movement, and are backing it up with

And it is not surprising that stu

This building is to be erected during
the coming school year as a result OF
a campaign for funds, waged by the
students of the agricultural college Y.
NJ. C. A.
Two years ago a group Of men,
members OF the Association cabinet
recognized the need of better equip
ment for the Y. NJ. c. A. work at the
college and, at a meeting in March,
1914, started the fund at the rate of
500 per man. Six months later the
corner property just east of the col
lege gateway was purchased, and four
months ago the students and faculty,
in response to the call of these men
rose up and made their gifts for Y.
M. c. A. building in the unprecedented
figures of $18,500. This means that IS
| per cent of the entire teaching force
| individually endorsed this movement
! with an average gift per man OF $66.
| The students, to the number of 416,
| contributed an average of $35 per
man. Out of the regular students, COL
lege, high school and industrial course
classes-8S per cent endorsed this
movement by personal gifts, at an
average Of $S5 each.
This campaign for a Y. M. c. A.
| building at the A. C.-has begun al
nome; $lS,oUO was raised Dy SIuueuts
| and faculty out of their own pockets
| before anyone outside the campus was
| invited to contribute support. This is
! significant, especially when one
realizes that hree-fourths of the stu
dents who contributed did so, know
ing that no direct benefits would come
back to themselves, for many will be
gone before the building is completed
| 1t was for the boys who will enter the
A. c. in the years to come, that these
men gave.
