We are also wearing heavy coats

when We look for suits-we want
warmth, but we want snug at
without bulkiness. Our ideal Is
a wool 50 soft, so closely woven
that it is almost velvety to the
touch. This Is the kind We can
wear to semi-formal dances and
yet appear completely festive, but
with q quiet elegance which puts
fussy dresses to shame. Suits are
terribly expensive right now, but
If we set our price level and look
and look and look until We find

will be rewarded. Be sure to ex-

and patience are the fairy god
parents who will present you with
your suit for your money.

HALF WAY MARK Tender
freshmen teens in high schools
and colleges have almost wealth
cred their first half year among
the intelligentsia. It's ruefully
admitted by the frosh that upper
classmen were painfully friendly
the first few weeks-most Of them
have now cooled to opposite poles.
The still friendly upperclassmen
rate much applause with fresh
men, who need even more en-
couragement as they get deeper
into the intricacies Of high school
or college life. High school upper
classmen need to realize how We
will feel when we begin to batter
down the walls Of college life.
College uppers should look ahead
and see how they want 70 be

EMBROIDERY JOKE-Theyll
do anything to teach US q lesson
those mad men Of Tendon.
As q protest against our bringing
our knitting along on dates, and
consequently whispering the stitch
counts just when he's describing
the best play Of the game, the
fellas have taken up embroidery
work-no less! Some boys moth,
er must have started this by
sympathizing with the date dilem-
ma of her fair son and then CIV
ing him q piece of cloth, a needle,
and embroidery cotton. When his
date started knitting, he pulled
out his handiwork. started to en-
broider with q will. and was she
embarrassed! This quickly turned
into q mass idea. The boys, 1t
appears, are embroidering no fiow-
ers or designs, but names. The
most aggrasating thing about the
idea Is that . close look shows
the name Is not that Of the date
Of the moment.
