Coeds who are keeping up with fashion headlines will look to the Japanese lanterns
as the source of inspiration for this holiday season’s crop of lamp shade skirts. i
Featured in bright} shades and prints of taffeta, chiffon and silk, these skirts and dresses
are anchored at the knees with bands, shirring or*bows.
One of the most striking dresses in the holiday collection is illustrated in the accom
panying sketch. It features plump side panels which balloon from the front, giving the effect!

Satin Shoes

With Coeds
A major item in any coed’s'
wardrobe is her shoes, .'and this:
year the fashion experts h ave gone,
all out to make them eye-catching.;
Along with the populai pointed'
toe, milady now can choose tra-!
ditional suede and leather as' well:
as from satins both plain and:
striped. I
• Since economy is uppermost in
the coed’s mind, she now can buy 1
one pair of shoes and for a few:
extra dollars change its appear-!
ance completely. !
The trick is done by adding a!
gold rosette, a silver or rhinestone l
clip, a satin bow, or even more, 1
elegant, a silver grey pearl clip. :
For the coed with an eye for the 1
‘different’ fashion has the.answer:,
the duo fabric shoe’. One side is 1
black patent leather while the;
other is grey suede. i
Costume jewelry this season is;
large and distinctively different.!
Although the big thing is thej
large synthetic stone in colors, 1
the traditional pearl is still very'
much in fashion. It can be found
in -long strands or. in big three 1
strand necklaces with'alternating!
rows of colored stones.
Campus Trim
To Rival Santa
In Xmas Gaiety
From all indications Santa
Claus will get a lot of competition
with his decorations this year
from University students. The dis
play of trees, angels and bells al
ready adorning the campus in ai
show of Christmas spirit will be
hard for Santa to beat come
December 25.
One of the most Christmas-y
sights may be seen in the West
: Halls area. Outdoor trees are
decorated with multicolor lights
and Christmas carols played
over a loudspeaker add to the
. Christmas spirit.
. M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S
is spelled out in lights across the
front of Hamilton Hall with each
room on a floor taking one letter.
-H-A-P-F-Y N-E-W Y-E-A-R is
.spelled out on the floor below.
;The first letter of each greeting
blinks on, then the second letter
and so on down the line until all

most every corner. It’s a happy, holiday time of year, but th»
