shoes. There has been an lhcte!Sea
fashion for high heels WITHIN the aS'
somester or two. Shoes with really
Got heels are usually chosen only for
actual snorts wear. Two years nave
nassed since every other girl on the
carnnus was wearing a pair of pom

Smart. we'll shaped ties with me-

Remember that with shoes OF TINS de'

is hardly appropriate. Sheer stockings
arc perhaps not an appropriate choice
for the college girl anyway, except
for evening wear.
The heavier silk wears better, OF
course. and there are even more sun

coat will do to begin with. Fads IN
raincoats vary with colleges. and for
some reason or other the style of
college girls raincoat seems to be
especially important.
Regulation oilskins are de rleeur
on some campuses, bricht-colored rain
coats on others. 1t may he that
fairly short and substantial leather
coat over tweed skirt and sweater

ensembles at the college of your
choice.
