While the event of snup skirts,
there has come an addition to the
list of things that "every coed

that now, as never before, restraint
Is necessary in planning a college
wardrobe.
Such restraint may take several
forms, from the most popular, a
mere wisp of "miracle yarn," to
the stylish stout's subduer, built of
canvas and whale bone. While the
fashion "mags" subsidized by the
plentiful advertising of the-ah-rumph

have been urging the women of

Unrestrained joy Is not unal

spirits are beset by fears of "desk

that our yarns girdle the world.
No Scruples Among Males.
The gals may try to keep this
subject undercover, but fellows
have no scruples about bringing it
out in the open. One gent covers
everything with this barbed re
mark, "If you need to be pushed

Clawd's sake, get one!"
Back in the good old days,
women used to park their hoops
before venturing on the dunce
floor. Modern coeds, If they can
resist the temptation to park them
selves, would often like to get rid
of their constraint before shagging
on down. It's not a very good plan
to lose touch of one's better self
that way, however, for many are
the sad talcs told of mislaid articles
that never reached the "Lost and
Found" department.

HARVEY'S SAY
Tails, Top Hat Mark
College Man as Ball
Fashion Takes Spotlight
It's tails . . . for the college man ... for any occasion after
six at night. Whether it's dinner at eight or the Military Ball,
tails are definitely in, especially for the taller man. The tux
still has its hold and is usually preferred for the shorter man.
This is the prediction of Whitey Reed,
