of pretty, useful things that will be

helpful to have an idea of the kind
of gift each of your friends would
appreciate the. most. Then while
shopping for a present for one per-
son you may hit upon just the
ching someone entirely different

Gifts for friends, that have just

est to choose. 1t is fairly easy to
know just about what your imme-

it is often hard to figure out what

speakers stated at the celebration

About 18 college clubs have torm-
ed into group known as the Fed

mote better understanding, assure

by Gorham and are sterling silver

GEMS ENRICH FORMAL WEAR
Silver is also in excellent taste
for nightlife jewelry. Barbara Read
has chosen Streamline set includ-
ing earrings, bracelet and pendant
to wear on special occasions dur
ing the holidays. The pendant Is
three stylized wings, and the motif
is repeated in the bracelet and
earrings Since these gadgets are
glitteringly modern they should be
kept highly polished.
For important first nights, and
the opera, diamonds and rubies
will enrich formal costume. The
model wearing the magnificent
mink coat ana luStrouS gold lame
gown is Haunting real gems. The
color contrast in this mist blue
and gold gown and the rich red
of rubies is typical of the smart
coordination of costume and gems.
The rubies are carved and strung
like beads and mounted with dia-
mond medallions. The necklace
and bracelet compose a pair. And
the final color drama is given with
the gloves which are long Persian
blue suedes (another gift sugges-
tion). The smart thing is to wear
bracelets on top of gloves, and this
goes for large dinner and cocktail
rings, too Of course, the genuine
article, which was designed by Ed.
win Tompkins, would be ideal, but
falling that, very effective imita-
tions of this type costume 1ewelry

But the thrill and excitement Is
a bit overshadowed by the fear
that she might net measure up
that she might seem too young and
unsophisticated and awkward.
What must she do? Mentally she
is counting how many boys she
will know there and of that num-
ber how many will dance with her.
She is figuring out what all the
girls will wear and is panicky lest
they outsh:ne her. No slight reas-
surance will do. She wants a well
ordered routine of how she must
lcok and act from the time she
starts dressing until she says
goodnight. And since, with The
Christmas holidays coming on,
many of you are in the same pre-
dicament, I thought you might be
interested in the advice gave her.
YOUTHFUL LOOKING DRESS
MOST APPROPRIATE
First of all, if you are going to
get a new dress, don't try to get
the most sophisticated-type dress
possible. There is nothing more
absurd than sixteen-year-old
would+be siren.
There are many dresses in the
shops that are neither little-girl
nor womaa-of-the world. Bear
in mind that your youth is half
your charm, hard though it may
be for you to believe now. Dress
your age, neither several years
younger, nor ten years older.
Select a shade that is becoming
to you-white and the pale pastelS
ale most becoming to younger
skins. When you get older you
will have to watch the shades that
b. ing out your better features ano
dc not emphasize the lines ano
shadows in your face, Now is the
time to wear all the colorS Of the
rainbow with a clear conscience.
MAKEUP SHOULD BE
NATURAL
And when you have decided on
the color and style and selected
your dress, give serious thought tc
your cosmetics. Your skin is
young and clear enough to have 6
definite beauty of its own. Dont
trv to hide it under a mask Of
makeup. Choose a powder thai
matches your skin tone and use
it lightly to bring out the beauty
Of your skin, not as means ol
hiding your natural coloring.
Find a rouge and lipstick thai
blend with your skin tone and USE
these sparingly as well. The ex-
citenlent of the occasion will give
you natural glow. Remember, IL,
your efsort to be sophisticated, that
the most charming women apply
their makeup so carefully that il
is difficult 10 detect. The secret
