Welcome Boon
For The Colds
BY RUTH MILLET

Mrs. Jones-W;th two daughters
in college and to more to go -
sighed as she read that Stephens
College had hired a top flight
Designer to create a new college
style, which the designer hoped
would soon be accepted universally
by college students.
The baggy sweaters, skirts, moe
casins and socks which have been
practically a uniform on college
campuses for the past few years
might offend the senses of fashion
designers, but they have been a
god-send to parents who foot the
educational bills.
1t is probably safe to say that
many a girl now goes to college
who couldn't have afforded it in the
Old days, when plet e and
somewhat elaborate wardrobes
were a necessity.
Now a few sweaters, skirts and
socks, few pairs of moccasins
and three or four evening dresses
will take girl through college
not looking like poor relation,
but like every girl on the campus.
And they look all right, too. The
natural good looks of girls their
age give style and zest to their
sloppy get ups.
AS far as Mrs. Jones, and prob
ably a lot of other parents, are
concerned, their daughters are
getting along Just dandy as they
axe. And they don't need to be
made clothes conscious until aft
er they are through school d
earning their own salaries.
WHY CHANGE NOW
OF course, there's little hope
for Mrs. Jones. The college style
to be developed for Stephens girls
may not catch On at other schools.
And also, the designer may hit
On something lust as casual as
the sweater and skirt.
But as Mrs. Jones points out, the
girls already have their sweaters
ard skirts. They love 'em - and
why try to switch them to some
thing different-especially at this
time?
