Of luck In your new job. Yes, goin(
to college these busy days is q job
and serious one of preparing your.
self for future in q topsy turvey
i world. Because these are no day.
for time-wasters, you'll work hare
/ ut your studies this year and you'll
md time, too. for extracurriculal
. war work at the Red Cross, USO, in
local defense factories and in nurs-
cry schools for children OF wal
workers.
Although the life has changed
the basic clothes you'll wear have
not, for the most part. Youu still
want four-year suits Of good gray
flannel, classic checked woods, good
sturdy tweeds and, Of course, cordu-
roy-that old standby-for extra.
The good die-hard classics are still
the smartest buys of all-doubly
smart because they'll stand you In
good stead from freshman registra-
ton through graduation, then
launch you on your career.
You'll buy fewer and better
clothes this year. More than ever
you'll make sure that these clothes
are good mixers-that everything
you buy is not only good quality,
but good two-for- -the-money
fashion. For example, look for a
suit that will do double duty with
slacks, and with brace of blouses
and sweaters. If you already own
a good suit, by all means make it
do and buy another skirt to 90 with
it.. Can extra skirt will make the
suit last longer) If you haven't q
suit, you might buy one of the new
blazer Jacket outfits and pair your
blazer with plaid or plain slacks and
with that good classic dress. One
Of the newest looking separate
blazers is made Of corduroy and
edged with contrasting fiannel-a
good combination to play OF against
wool skirts.

college or career purposes. Having
them match multiplies their USE
fulness. Be sure, though, that your
coat is good sturdy one that can

or camel hair with zip-in leather
or fur h1ling, or luxurious looking
soft fleece or one of those beloved
old standbys. the polo or the shet-
land hoy" coat. The newest YER
sion OF the Chesterfield has a fur
lining and is another good college,
career girl choice. Whatever you
buy, make certain it's a 24-hour
wrap that goes over all your clothes,
that can lead an active, varied life.
Tops in daytime college toys are
still sweaters and skirts. ."The
nubbier the nicer" say the college
girls about sweaters. You'll wear
your sweaters on the sloppy side
although they look newer tucked
in-and your skirts short-prob-
ably just the type you wore in
high school. Sweaters and skirts
would seem to be things that you
could Make Do In the transi-
tion from high school to college girl.
II you've kept them well, no one
need know that they sat through
senior English and high school his
tory. II your sweater has worn
through the elbow, you might cut
the sleeves out, finish on the arm
holes and have a smart sleeveless
sweater to wear over q blouse under
= jacket. Two skirts will get you
by. One might be your suit skirt,
the other plaid. One Of the
prettiest plaids in town is q green
and white wraparound job with
fringed edges-very, very. =.
