Now is the time to start thinking
of those essential requirements for
the young girl going away to college.
First Systematically itemize the per-
fectly good last years left-overs, and
then spend little for fillers-in. If
you've been careful with last years
sweaters and skirts you will have
the basis for your school wardrobe
right there. Three shirtmaker dress
es of jersey or light weight woods are
necessary. A tweed or a pastel flannel
suit are also listed among the college
girls musts.
Two dressy dresses, dark silk and
bright colored velvet or velveteen
are necessary for Sunday dates or
teas. You should also include high
neck, long sleeve dinner dress of dra-
matte appearance, and two formals
| both with Jackets which will make
them usable as dinner dresses for less
formal parties.
A reversible gabardine and plaid
wool coat for rain or shine is indispen-
sable, or perhaps you have trusty
camels hair coat on hand that will
fill the bill. A dressmaker coat,
trimmed with fur is always usable but
not absolutely essential. Fur 'chub-
bies" are becoming even more popu-
lar with the college girl. They are
smart over plaid skirts or wool dress
es and will pinch-hit for evening any
time.
Hats depend on individual campus
habits-most girls just don't wear
them, but a little sport felt and a
smart town hat are ample.
A flannel bathrobe or warm loung-
ing pajamas for studying in comfort
and fussy house coat are needed.
Shoes depend on the individual and
the active sports one expects to en-
gage in.
