manifold weaves in both silk al
regarded as one to continue.
Buyers in the exclusive shops
along Fifth avenue, who, in
their general selections, retain
for special promotion types
that will attract the student, are
unanimous in their Endorsement of
both the jacket and long coat YER
sionS.
Jacket ensembles are expected to
have their widest appeal in jersey
fabrics, since it is pointed out that
from the angle of price and practi-
cality they offer the utmost Of serv-
ice for the college girl.
Cardigan Is Good
The cardigan, collarless and I'M
adorned, is indicated as the best
coat type in three-piece models, not
only in the short ensembles, but
in the long models as well, of
knitted fabrics and lightweight
woolens. AS one buyer aptly puts it,
Anything with a cardigan is good,
whether in silk, wool or jersey"
While the ensemble Of the thick
yarn woolens, which have been so
important in the fall collections,
are not promoted expressly as a
college item, buyers offer the argu-
ments as important in the fall COL
lections, are fashioned so that the
long coat, whether furred or plain,
may be converted to the separate
winter coat, an important item in
the student wardrobe.
MANY girls would rather spend
a good sum for an attractive three
piece ensemble, and arrive on the
campus looking the last word in
fashion, than buy a moderately
priced winter coat and dress" says
a buyer.
Girls More Critical
''The college girl is looking with
a more critical eye on fashions to-
day than ever BEFORE" she con-
tinues, land it is more likely that,
in cases where the price question
is not too problematcial, she will
choose something with distinction"
There are manufacturers who sup
ply skirts with winter coats, having
the idea of catering to those who
insist on the ensemble as the only
smart costume Interpretation.
A special point is made Of the
tuck-in jacket suits in three-piece,
provided with either a mannish
shirt or sweater than may be worn
with yoked shirt. There is par
ticular comment made on the
sweater in this style, since more Of
the younger girls like the tuck-in
types for summer wear. One store
which advanced this fashion in the
spring found it so successful they
are planning special advertising for
it in the fall.
One-Piece FrOcks
The new sheer woolens that have
been exploited so much for the new
season are expected to give i'm
petus to the sale of one-piece
frocks, which, it is said, have come
forward with more assurance this
season. Although the two-piece, in
sportswear as whole, has been
pre-eminent for the college girl, the
slim, tailored, one-piece frock is ex-
pected to become an important con-
Sideration.
Due to the popularity Of the
trench coat, leather coats are ex-
pect ed to have an even wider ae-
tivity with the more youthful
clientele. Jacket lengths are re-
garded with more favor since the
longer lengths are limited to wear
in the extreme cold weather.
The trench model has been Of
fered in such varied media for fall
that it stands out as the very best
college kirl knockabout coat for fall
and winter. A type that will be ex-
plotted by an exclusive speciality
shop is fashioned of a glove suede
fabric when is guaranteed washable,
and offered in a wide range of
colors. Since these retail at approx
mately $25, they become the ideal
extra coat for the college girls
wardrobe.
