too conservative especially if you're
3 me-;ber of the class Of '46. Go
easy Until you discover what is ap-
proved by those girls who carry off
the most popular" titles when the
votes are counted.
The other day we talked with a
group of college girls about some of
swered. and herewith we pass on the
informa ton. Remember, again, that
colleges vary greatly, over and above
their location and their student
body, so it's a good idea to check
into lhe dos and donts OF the one
you've selected. Here goes:
@. What are the college girls going
10 do about the stocking situation?
A. They'll wear socks, mostly. es-
necialiy those which come up several
inches above the ankle. but which
are net the knee-length ones. II
they can get EN- they'll wear nylons
for dress: if not many of the girls
plan to wear leg makeup all winter
Rayon is not getting too big re-
ception yet-principally because OF
the 4S-hour drying time.
O. Will there be more slacks worn
this vear7
A. Very likely. They're perfect for
Iouneing. but many OF the schools
still turn thumbs down for class
room wear. Needless to say. they're
out for any occasion that's not
strictly informal
@. How do the girls like the new
longer shorts?
A. They think they're fine and
they're taking to them more and
more this season. Particularly good
looking in gray flannel and in heavy
rorduroy with matching jackets.
Culottes are very popular this year,
too. and many of them have new
touches-such as the gray flannel
culottes with bright plaid forming
the shorts" part.
@. What will shoes be like?
A. Moccasins are still the favor
ties. even replacing the good old
saddle shoes Bright colored suede
play shoes with rope soles are oeing
talked about. Smart pumps and
sandals for dress, of course.
@. What's the story on quilting?
A, It's one of the hits OF the sea-
son. There are smart quilted jack
cts to be worn over everything from
slacks to evening dresses, quilted
dirndls, hats and bags and lounging
costumes. Keeping warm is going
to be consideration this year, very
likely, and quilted clothes are
perfect answer. Every possible fab
ric is quilted-and they couldn't
be better looking.
z O. Do the college girls like
jewelry?
A. Foolish question. They adore
It. Earrings are everywhere, the
trickier the better, and this year the
campus queens are going in for long
ropes of beads and pearls-really
long-and worn with everything, es-
pecially with sweaters. incidentally,
some of the gayest new blouses have
shoulder pieces like those on uniform
shirts and it's here the girls will
wear the service insignia they COL
iect.
@. Please. will hats be worn?
A. Absolutely. but not entirely. In
other words, the girls want about
three dressy hats for dating and
travelling. Rest of the time ney will
concentrate on kerchiefs and win
ter-type hair ornaments such as
those fascinating big bows of telt
inexpensive and closely related to
a hat, they are done on combs and
come in colors to match every cos
tune. Berets are good, too
Q. What about the new trend to
knickers?
A. Some are being shown, but it's
not believed that they'll approach
stacks. c,llottes and longer shorts
In popularity,
Q. Are pajamas and robes still
tailored?
