SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1948 the lAJomen By. Frances Keeney No sooner do we recuperate from the Turkey Day holidays, than bigger vacation ideas keep popping into our heads. Spurred on by sleigh bells, bright red and green decorations and ‘‘White Christmas,” we start counting the days before the next evacuation of this peaceful town. The advance Christmas guard has already hit State College and campus. First the shops brought out their gay colors, and next came the beautiful Christmas scene on front campus along Col lege avenue. Guess the tree will brighten the Corner one of these days. But we’re wondering what the poor motorists will do when they try to pick out the traffic signals from the red and green Christmas Tree lights. Dorm Trees Down in Simmons Hall, the big Christmas Tree was put up yes terday, followed or preceded by many sorority trees, and we sup pose the same is true in the other women’s dormitories. It won’t be long before dormitories and fra ternities will be nightly serenaded by the strains of “Silent Night” and “O Come All You Faithful.” While we’re talking about Christ mas music here’s a plug for the Chapel Choir’s Christmas Candle Light program to be held in Schwab 12 o’clock midnight next Saturday night. And also, don’t forget the All-College Christmas Carol program on the steps of Old Main December 16. Gift Suggestions Since Christmas isn’t all carols and holly, we decided maybe some of you coeds could use a few gift suggestions as well as a few hints if you’re undecided what to ask Santa for. If you think you might like a sweater don’t overlook bright yellow for a blond; red or green for a brunette; midnight blue for silver gray hair; and soft purple for a red-head. They’re the new and exciting colors. Also, if look ing for gloves, be sure the cuff is long enough if they are to be worn over suit sleeves, which in cidentally will be the vogue in Spring. Spats Revival If you’re interested in some thing to dress up that old suit, don’t miss the spats revival. They add warmth, plus style, and come in shepherd’s check, tweed, pearl gray and fawn color. For you girls with the protruding hips (don’t fret, it’s an organization with a large membership) how about suggesting a suit with a backward swing. They’re most protection to hide under. In the accessories line try the new sparkling bronze or gun metal to dress up your attire. If you’re short why not suggest a new, small handbag to replace last year’s over-sized one. Ditto for shoes. For an unusual gift, don’t overlook the lace-edged handkerchief. It’s excellent for one of your mother’s friends, or one of your own, as the days with the delicate lace handkerchief peeking out of pocket or belt are fast returning.
