MART little girls starting to college this fall make up their minds they must
major in style.
Not that they should take' too much time away from economics, literature and the fine arts to think of clothes. But, having sat- isfactorily solved what they need to have and having stocked their wardrobes, their minds will be free to get the most out of college. And certainly the way they look goes a long way towards it.
The best way to decide what is needed for college wear is to ask the girls themselves what they know they should have. Waol frocks have received first vote from them.

A Comell Senior say's, "Cornell is co-ed, so dates and fraternity and tarity doings are our chief interests. Don't think, though, that that means we go around dressed up in fussy clothes all the time. Ithaca is a cold and wool dresses are favorites. for informal evening dates
well as campus."
From Sweet Briar, Va., a 1931 gradu- ate advised a Freshman, "Sweet Briar may be way down yonder in the Sunay South, but wait until the wind starts howling over the Blue Ridge Mountains and you'll re- alize why I'm telling you to take along lots ef wool frocks for campus and week day evenings.
"Wellesley is so near Boston that we nerd two kinds of daytime clothes, sporty camp togs and anart town enserables," Junior from there reports. “This year I think we'll find wool clothes fill both needs, for the new wool frocks are so varied and gonde looking, and they don't have to be cleaned and pressed half as much as silk things."
From Vassar comes this remark. "I'm combining a New York debut with my senior year at Vastar, so I'm particularly thrilled that wool dresses are going to be the

Smith girls say: "Good-looking sports clothes are a cult amang well-dressed Smith girls. Everyone will love these new wnol dresses in French Colonial colors,"
From the state universities the west-California, Wash- ington, Oregon, Colorado, and all the rest-there comes the same popular approval of the new woolen dresses.
"We go in for a sports type of clothes on our campuses, these girls say. "We like to feel that we are dressed com fortably, and wool supplies that feeling. And by comfort- ably, we mean that we have to look well and feel well in our clothes."
up.
The small co-educational schools, scattered throughout the middle west, also cast their votes with the wool frocks, ex- pressing their appreciation of the rather careless chic that wools have.
With such high recommendations from so many colleger, the now vogue for wool frocks promises to get such a colle. giate vote that any of you going to college should include a couple of such frocks, at least.
New wool frocks are beautiful in their colors, with many rich browns, reds, wine colors, greens, black and clear me dium blues. Browns are the favorites, with black wool first for the more formal types of daytime frocks.
I. FOR dining with friends or to wear to town Saturdays, a wool frock in a new and soft medium green is lovely. It has smart cuffs that are cut out to show little puffs of white satin, and bows, of the same loop over the center of the square neck and pull through a sit in the front of the waist. Square buttons emphasize the square neckline and the belt has a nov. elty buckle.
II FOR early morning classes, when you hardly have time to get breakfast and yet make your eight o'clock claw.
A weol jersey dress made all in one piece, with nothing to
arrange or tic and only a belt to fasten, is ideal,
This one, in navy blue, has unusual touches in its French Colonial tri-color bandinge, in red, blue and white, in soft, rich colors.

IV. IF you are a little college Freshman, just starting in at some college or university, you will be sure of your style and much more sure of yourself if you have a little brown wool frock and jacket suit, with matching little hat made of the same material.
This one has a novel touch, a yoke with sleeve tops of a travel tweed in harmonizing tones of dark beige and white, with the white collar outlined in a blanket stitch in brown.
V IF you have a date in town on Saturday afternoon, a
new brown dress with unusual neckline and smart cut to its sleeves is the frock for you.

At one corner of the square neckline there is a white ermine bow.
