OOTBALL is synonymous with all the thrill there is in the year at the autumn season. Synonymous with the long drives through the glorious coun- try, with the brightest blue October skies, and the Bowl rife with color

and mad excitement.

With fall clothes as new and exciting as they are this senson, the selection of what to wear to the game is almost a important as the final decision of the game itself. You may not always realize how important the way you appear at the football game is. Each guest is carefully scrutinized and your social succèse or failure is so often entirely de pendent upon what you wear.

Just anything warm and bulky won't do. Your costume must be carefully chosen for chic as well as comfort. It must be striking and yet as subtly effective as your choice for more sophisticated occasions.

The real trick of selection lies in choosing as ensemble that will meet the requirements of the various social affairs that the visit to the game involves. You must be able to take them all in your stride.

if possible, mere important than ever just now.

A double-breasted sweater of fine wool in two tunes. maroon and white, is attractive. It has little deeves and fits closely at the waist, making it excellent for wear under your suit

A new and very unusual bag is also certain to enlist "your affection. It is in suede with its wood frame surmounted by a perky little wooden bird. The bird has a most in- triguing air as he snuggles under your arm.
