Don’t imagine that every college £irl has her hair bobbed. If they all did, and if there were no longer any question about it, doubtless it would be less of a pleasure to be bobbed. It is a fact that there is still a ques- tion about it that makes it interest- To add to the interest this year, ve been hundreds of girls who h bobbed since first coming to college and a good many formerly bobbed ones who are now “letting it grow.” It is hard to tell which con- dition s more interesting—to be ne bobbed or to be in that tick- lish state where your hair is just growing in and half your friends tell You that you are making a mistake, While the other haif congratulate you on your good judgment. N EXT on the list of garments dear to the heart of the college girl— slicker—comes the hunts- jacket of leather, usually of Here again the standardized is preferred. This is a jacket 1t extends to the hips, with pock: Things Which Are of ets at the bust, and with knitted hips, wrists and collar. Natural color fs sometimes preferred, but colors are not taboo, such as green, gray and red. In place of the hunter’s Jacket leather THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, JANUARY 11, 1925—PART 5. College Girl of the Present Day Has Her Own Particular Choice of Styles THE TWO-PIECE OR ONEPIECE FROCK THE SCHOOLROOM FAVORITE OF THE COLLEGE GIRL. AT THE LEFT IS SHOWN AN INTENESTING TWO-PIECE FROCK OF NATURAL COLORED KASHA, CONSISTING OF STRAIGHT, SCANT AND SHORT SKIRT, AND STRAIGHT, HIP- LENGTH BLOUSE. THE TIE AND BUTTONS AND STITCHING ARE DARK BROWN. THE SWEATER 1S ONE OF THOSE GAYLY COL- ORED SLIP-ONS THAT YOUNG GIRLS LIKE. THE HAT, BY THE WAY, IS IN EXCELLENT STYLE. IT 1S ALL OF FELT, WITH CUT- FELT LEAVES FOR ITS SOLE TRIMMING. [mnn}' college girls choose sheepskin- lined jackets of the sort that truck drivers and ambitious little boys are wont to wear. You know the sort— made with the fleecy sheepskin inside and the outside of heavy khaki-col- ored cotton. Usually vertical pockets at each side offer protection for cold hands and a stout belt of the khak{-colored material is buckled snugly at the walstline. Sheepskin- lined coats, made especially for girls, of bright red, green and other colors, have recently been offered by some of the shops, but by many young women the conventional boys' sheep- skin is much preferred. These jackets and the huntsman's jackets may be worn with the usual one-plece cloth frock, though often they are combined with bright-cole ored flannel skirt and wash blouse. While either the sheepskin-lined jacket or the huntsman’s jacket is ape parently regarded as necessary to the comfort and happiness of some college girls, there are some of the women's colleges where this fad seems not to exist. Fur coats, however, seem to be the desideratum of every girl who goes without cune to college where cold weather comes in Winter. Frankly, every girl who can afford a fur coat has one. There may be exceptions but they are few and far between. Here again intrinsic value of the fur has little welght with the college girl. 1 am sure that most girls at college would really prefer to appear on the campus in a raccoon or natural muskrat coat rather than wearing the most perfectly blended mink or seal skin coat. And when the college girl's mother or father realizes that the daughter will wear her sport raccoon or muskrat coat for almost every o sion when the weather that she will usually make it do for an evening coat and that she will wear it several seass if need be, then the fact that it costs somewhat more than a cloth coat to begin with 15 of less weight. The college girl wears an artificial flower on the lapel of her fur coat. In fact, she Is rather particular about this. ‘Gardenias were quite the thing,” sald one smartly dressed col- lege girl, “but they have been rathe overdone. Carnations are newer.” All of which goes to, show that a liberal education need not keep u woman blinded to caprices of Paris. During the hollday season it was considered appropriate to wear a red flower, perhaps a poinsettia or a sprig of holly. Possibly with the coming of Spring, violets and other flowers that smack of April will be chosen. But in this matter of flowers for one’s lapel the college girl lows herself considerable freedom She may express something of her personality in the sort of flower she wears. Or she may vary her flower with her mood. ok ke ENEATH the fur coat probably the majority of well-dressed college girls wear a one-plece flannel frock, which is given an air of eatness and smartness by the little washable collars and sometimes cuffs that are worn with it. The fastidious girl s very particular about this detall. The flannel frock may be of solid color, though any girl will tell you that up and down stripes are very smart just now. ‘Though the two-plece sport trock, consisting of skirt and slip-on jumper, 1s to be found, it lags far behind the one-plece flannel frock. So, too, the costume consisting of separate skirt, shirt and slip-on sweater seems much less worn this year than in years recently gone by. However, the thin knotted wool slip- ons, known as crickets, have their admirers. The turtle-neck sweater mnow comes to give new interest in this type of garment and it is already as- suming importance for Win sports worn beneath the huntsman's jacket or the sheep-lined coat. So, too, s it worn on cold, rainy days to give warmth enough under the slicker or oflskin. For no matter how cold it is, the college girl wears her slicker if there is any excuse for so doing The attitude of the college girl to- ward evening frocks seems to be that while she wishes to wear what is conservative enough to be in good taste, she certainly does not want anything to be so super-conservative as to lack “pep.” Like most young women, her ome requirement an evening frock is that she can have a good time while wearing it Hence it must be becoming, youthful and enough like what the other girls of her set are wearing to prevent any sort of unpleasant or amused com- ment. So she avolds the extremes of fashion that are contrived by Ingeni- ous designers to tempt women of more sated taste. The skirt of the dance frock ‘is short, but not too short. At ome of the women's colleges the glee club lays down for its members the rule that on concert nights they must wear frocks 10 inches from the ground, no more, no less. They must be stmple, of fairly straight line and in pastel tone: and there must be permits, | Temmy Revews 1y Miurary CAREER | ~ some excuse for a sleeve, though it amounts to no more than something very rudimentary. And this sort of frock you will find chosen over and over again by the college gir) for less formal evening parties. For one of the big dances of her college career she is quite apt this Winter to select a frock of bouffant type. These light-colored frocks of uet or chiffon, made with full, flufty skirts, seem to make very strong ap- peal to the younger women at pres- ent, both in and out of college. * % * AT some of the colleges the flat- heeled sport oxford still prevails, and on the campus, at any rate, one almost never sees any other type of footgear. A wise undergraduate at one of the Eastern colleges displays a little foot neatly shod in an opera pump with fairly high heel. It is the first pair of high-heeled shoes she has worn, save for dances, for dear knows how long, and she tells you auite seriously that the flat-heeled shoe is becoming passe and that all the girls she knows are beginning to wear pumps for “every day.” With them go belge, light brown or gray silk stockings with no thought of wool stockings save for extremely cold weather. On the other hand, at some of the colleges woolen, or silk- and-woolen stockings have been worn since the middle of autumn, and quite frequently these show plaids and stripes that would attract amazed attention on city streets, but pass as quite conventional on the campus. Apparently the college girl seldom indulges in frilly negliges, but chooses instead a mannish sort of ing gown or bath robe of striped 1 or terry cloth. She need for not much jewelry, but doesn't feel quite “dressed up” without some sort of choker or short necklace. In some quarters choice is now given to the necklace conslsting of three strands of quite small pearis Of all campus fads most_surprising is th probably the revival of the Vaporized Quartz. '\ BEAUTIFUL opalescence may 5 sometimes be observed in the glass globes used to diffuso the light of the electrio arc, particularly after such globes have been in use for a long time. Close examination shows that the opalescent effect is due to the presence on the glass of minute spheres of sil: which have evidently been formed by volatilization from the glass under the influence of the electric arc This effect is in ac- ce with the experiments of us chemists, whose electric cos have produced some sur- he essential feature of the furnace used in this relation is an electric aro of great intensity.
