Designers lent their ears to the desires—and the de mands—of the women who wear —and launder—their own outfits. The basics skirts, sweaters. washable mix-and-match coor dinates—are back. Complement ing them are the miracle fabrics direct from the laboratory. The college shopper eyed prac ticality as well as style when she selected her fall ensemble. Orlon —because it's -easy to care for, soft as cashmere, and, for the first time, at popular prices—was one of the most called for fabrics. Man-tailored fashion is the de mand. Suit and shirt ideas are borroWed directly from male's haberdashery. They emphasize the trend toward sleek tailored tog gery. And the "new look" became old this summer. Christian Dior, long considered the dictator of fashion, raised skirts. The customers rais ed a howl. Result was a compro mise. Skirts don't brush floor or knee. The chic shieks are saying Ber muda shorts will be seen on cam puses. Well, maybe—on campuses in Bermuda. One wardrobe item hasn't changed at all. The yellow slicker is as fashionable—and as yellow —as ever. And, unless Penn State weather changes radically, it'll be as use ful as ever too. Cool or hot? Open Evenings
