Chicago, Feb, %, -- (Ry Associated press) -l' l'lashy colorcd hosiery with open work, smooth hitting waists that outline the lignrc from throat to hips; gloves 10 the elbows; side button shoes pointed and box toed; immense poke bonnets: deer skin bodices; dresses of myrtle green silks, camel'a | hair. satin and velvet. Such were the styles of half n century ago that CO., eds Of the University of Chicago are showing symptoms of reviving.
 Interest In Oldcn Styles
 This apparent renaissance Is indi- cated by the steadily increasing de- mand at the university library for Godey's "Lady's Book and Magazine, !" q periodical that portrayed miady's s styles moro than fifty years from 1892. So strongly do the co-cds crave a glance at the gaily tinted color plates of frocks and gowns that were worn in the middle of the last cen tury that the library Is seeking addi- tional copies of the "Lady's Book" 10 meet the demand
 Many things the co-eds are learn ing from their "T.adys Book" study: styles that they believed were ultra modern they find. were common to their grandmothers.
 Even Bustlcs
 Hats. gowns, shoes, hose, goves hustles, bodices, cloaks. parasols sashes, ribbons and shawls-all are in the "Lady's Book" Every article of woman's apparel are there--except lingerie. The co-eds if they are in terested in learning what the belles of fifty years ago wore beheath their sweeping gowns, must look elsewhere. Mr. Godey's otherwise excellent per iodical is strangely silent in this re- gard in marked contrast with present day fashion magazines.
 Ears, the co-eds find. were freely "worn." Mostly they were adorned with jewelry, but in any case they were entirely visible.
 The "Lady's Book" for 1882, a vol ume that is finding particular favor length on every article of outer ap- length on ever yarticle of outer ap- parel and the equipage necessary to add style to the woman of that day Of winter bonnets, for example, it says:
 Poke Bonnets Also
 Immense poke bonnets of plush. lined with a contrasting color, have an Alsatian bow and bird at one side"
 Other style comments are:
 "One of the latest novelties OSS2) is the bodices of unglazed or deer skin either plain or embroidered, perfect y, too perfectly, moulding the figure. | Many ladies have their monograms upon the left side of the bodice"
 "The new spring costumes have long, smooth fitting waists that out | line the figure from throat to hips where they are met by full paniers of | sash drapery. The general effect is of long, slepder waists and large hips"
 Side Bottom Shoes
 Gloves are longer than ever They Ire not tight fitting all the way up, put ripping over the arm.'
 "Colored hosiery continues popular. Black silk stockings are the most 'tylish. Terra cotta and rose are the lew shades; others are very dark garnet, cardinal and brighter turkey ed, porcelain, blue, tan, bronze and lark green. Lace work, open designs md hand embroidery are the orna- nents for hose"
 Large. almost sun umbrellas, are he vogue. They have simple, rustic but there the simplicity ends Of f1o soods, even Scotch plaids, and are with flowers or ribbons"
 Side button boots are popular. Pointed and box toed styles are most n demand but the extrtmely pointed oes are considered injurious to the eet and if worn should be very long"
