Fashion conscious ag students
know the latest in style, govern
ment restrictions and how to
make the most of what you have.
By means of slight revamping of
hom economics courses girls in
clothing and textile classes are be
ing informed as to the latest de
velopments in these lines.
Besides learning how to sew in
clothing classes, girls are getting
helpful hints as to the remodeling
an.i rejuvenation of old dresses.
Economical methods of planning
clothing budgets are a part of the
work to further more intelligent
buying.
A Stitch in Time.
Correct care of clothing is espe
cially important at this time.
Mending in time saves later "darn
ing;" pressing makes an old dress
look presentable, and a new one

FIRST AID
A university first aid course
graduate, female, returned this
week end to thank her instructor
for the useful course, saying:
"The other day I came upon an
awful accident. The man was
pinned under his car and his head
was bleeding profusely but I knew
just what to do.
"I put my head between my
knees to keep from fainting," she
recited.
From Daily Californian.

Reconstruction of abandoned
clothes is a feature of advanced
clothing students who have started
a clothing clinic to which all stu
dents are invited.
Textiles students are familiar
with the new materials that are
replacing silk and all-wool fabrics,
as milk cloth, combinations of
rayon and wool, glass cloth, and
the many creations of rayon com
panies. Cotton will be worn
fashionably year-'round for the
duration.
Care of the various fabrics is
also a matter of discussion in this
course. Different methods of
pressing1, laundering and storage
are studied.
Probably the most important
knowledge that comes from this
study is the realization that the
government has combined most of
the large clothing industries into
production for the armed forces,
that there are still some com
panies producing colthes for ci
vilians, and that the coming
fashions are to be centered around
available materials.
Look Dated.
If we try to buy up as much
of the present supply as we can
afford, we shall look "dated" when
everyone else is wearing cotton
hose, narrow skirts and one-tone
shoes.
The ag student will attempt to
Latest
Styles
get the greatest amount of style
for the least amount of money by
making most of her own clothes,
and by buying judiciously and
wisely when she does purchase a
"ready-made."
'Clothes Clinic
Meets Friday
On Ag Campus
Most of you ferns are a disap
pointed group because your for
mula are hanging in the closest
gathering moths and layers of
dust. The closet is really no place
for them, so do something about
it! You splurged your meagre al
lowance on the smooth black for
mal, so "feex" it up and use it.
The lush colors and lines of
your formats combine easily to
give striKing enects ior aiiernoon
dresses. And now "dressy" frocks
are holding sway- they're need
from three to ? times every week.
Take advantage of the free
"clothes clinic" offered at the
home ec building, room 304 every
Friday from 1:30 to 4:30, under
the direction of Miss Grace Mor
ton and fashion consultants that
are "hep" to the new and latest.
Gather together your old formals,
shake the dust off and shake up
to room 304.

Minks and Skunks Give
All for Women 's Coats
. . . Seals, Tob
BY PAT CATLIN.
Cruel creatures these women!
The minks think it. the seals thing
it. and even the skunks think it.
How would you feel if you were a
poor little animal struggling for
an existence against some design
ing female wiio thought you would
look lovely sewed up in the form
of a fur coat?
The catch last season must have
been a good one for the new coats
are more luxurious than ever,
fiends changed from the chubbics
to full length coats. Workmanship
is superb - they are made not only
io flatter the wearer, but also to
show the beauty of the fur. Soft
:lds, large sleeves faced with
fur, and variety of cut are a
lew of the outstanding features.
Muskrat is the favorite fur of
tile college women because of its
durability. Sable and mink dyed
muskrat can be worn for diess or
casual wear. Another favorite is
skunk, which when cut on unusuai
lines is exquisite not smelly. It
would be advisable for a chunky
girl to pick a less bulky fur.
Ah, Mink!
Among the fluffy furs bleached
wolf -the four legged variety is
the most lush. It's light and dur
able in spite of its frothy elegance
And then there is the fur of all
furs magnificent mink. Kverv

with envy in her eyes. Ilaccon

students for years. Tiiis fur com

Mouton, unpretentious but at
tractive, finds itself in the shape
of a coat on many a girl's bac k.
These unlucky animals find then
pelts wear like iron. They can
stand weather of all kinds ayd
abuse from their owner. A beaver
could see many of his cousins
wrapped snugly around feminine
shapes. This splendid soft fur sells
in the higher price brackets to
women who enjoy looking well
dressed. Just think of the supreme sac
rifice of the animal when next y'i
see a woman smoothly donned in
her furs.
