Need Gift Suggestions? Then Look At These-
Because studies and extra-curricular activities keep the college woman busy and leave her little time for Christmas shopping, the Daily Kansan will run a series of articles about the unusual in gifts. Members of the society staff have been and will look for gift ideas for all ages and present these suggestions to you.
Jeweled Piggy Bank
Have you been thinking of what to get your roommate or pledge daughter for the annual gift exchange? For the girl "who has everything" in your price bracket, a jeweled piggy bank may be the answer. In all sizes and pastel colors, the pigs are covered with imitation jewels and add beauty to anyone's dresser or dressing table. Besides "looking cute" the pigs are an excellent way to save pennies, dimes, and quarters for a new sweater, the first place setting of sterling silver, or a fur coat. The piggy banks range in price from $2.95 to $8.95, depending upon size and the amount of jewels.
"Cozy Toesies"
For grandmother or an elderly aunt who is always complaining about having cold feet, buy a pain of the new "Cozy Tieses" which can be worn as housetslippers or to bed. In pasted colors, the slippers are knitted and resemble baby booties, except that they are large enough for adult feet. They are priced from $1.50 to $2.95.
Football Music Box
If you want to instill University spirit in your younger brothers and sisters, give them a football music box which plays the alma mater. The football, about two inches long, is laced in crimson and blue and sells for $2.95.
"Dancing Doll"
For a little sister or young niece, a doll would be the most appreciated present. "Baby" dolls, which range in price from $7.98 to $14.98, and "girl" dolls, from $14.95 to $24.95, are still being shown, with the addition of a 3-foot "dancing doll". It is a rag doll and can be attached to the little girl's hands and feet in order to dance with it. The "dancing doll" sells for $14.98
"Robert the Robot"
Little brother or nephew who follows the television space shows will enjoy playing with "Robert
Pastel Jackets May Appear
Although the season is winter and the temperature is below freezing, young women who are engaged or will receive their diamonds for Christmas have begun to plan their spring and summer weddings.
Based on last summer's experience, there seems to be a trend toward pastel color dinner jackets for ushers to blend or match with the gowns selected for bridesmaids.
While this costume development has no sanction from the wedding etiquette experts, it seems to be well on its way to being accepted garb.
Brides having garden weddings showed a particular preference for this type of dressing for the groomsmen. By far the most popular of pastel colors for men last season was the paitfall pink jacket.
The pastel color dinner coats were even seen on this campus last spring at some of the formal dances.
This trend may be indicative of a whole new school in men's dressing with the accent on more colorful, imaginative clothes. Wait and see!

the Robot." The 1-foot toy will speak its name and walk by operating a space gun which accompanies the robot. The toy sells for $5.98.
Hummel Figurines
If your mother likes figurines for the mantle or coffee table, either add to her collection or begin one by giving her a Hummel figurine. Originating in Germany, the Hummels are figurines of small children and are accompanied by a card explaining the name and origin of each. They range in price from $5.50 to $40, depending upon size.
'Shon-n-Add' Gadget
Mother might also like a "Shopn-Add" gadget which can be hung in the kitchen or carried in her purse. In black and gold, the "Shopn-Add" includes a list of groceries and household goods which may need to be purchased, and the housewife can check each as she needs to buy it. The gadget also has a division to record the price of each purchase at the grocery store. It sells for $2.50.
Ivy League Duke Can
Ivy League Duke Cap
If your favorite young man "has gone Ivy League," buy him an Ivy League Duke Cap. With an adjustable leather strap in back and a snap on the bill, the cap comes in tweed, dark plaids, and plain colors. The price is $2.95.
Wedding Dress
For those who are planning Christmas weddings an excellent combination Christmas-thank you gift for the flower girl is a "little girl" wedding dress, complete with veil and flowers. The dress sells for $8.95 and is made of imitation satin.
2 Coeds Announce Pinnings
Monchonsia Hall announces the pinning of Elizabeth Moran, Danbury, Conn., senior, to Allan Kauffman, Arlington, Va., senior, and a member of Sigma Pi social fraternity.
Theta Tau, national professional engineering fraternity, announces the pinning of Gerri Long, a Baker University student, to Richard Allen Schroff, engineering junior. Both are from Hiawatha.
Miss Long is an education sophomore and member of Delta Delta Delta social sorority.

Society Scrapbook
By JANE PECINOVSKY Kansan Society Editor
. . .
One look at the young women on the campus yesterday and you could see it was winter. Vanity is forgotten when the temperature drops to about 20 degrees, and coeds think only of dressing for warmth. Parkas and large, heavy coats dominated the campus, and the knee socks worn with Bermuda shorts earlier this fall were seen with skirts and sweaters. Bundled in heavy coats, scarfs, mittens, it was difficult to tell one young woman from another. But the girls kept warm—at least, they tried.
You can rent a date as easily as a tuxedo, a mink stole, or an automobile in Chicago. Businessmen do it, career women do it, and many of the steady customers are socialists—lonely women who need escorts, doting parents of young daughters, and eligible bachelors afraid of entanglements. The woman in charge of this rental agency has
French Designers Influence Today's American Styles
The fashion headlines shouted about the "H" look two years ago, then the "A" look, and now there is the new "Y" line.
Inspired by Fath's coat dress, the two-piece look in back is translated for American wardrobes into a dinner coat of polished black wool. The ecoat dress has mandarin neckline, banded with matching rayon satin. It makes a perfect covering for sheath skirts and features low back pleating and off-center buttoning in front.
Although these originals are designed by French fashion artists, the trend today in American fashions is influenced by these creations.
Dior Influences Fidelity
A new concept of fullness influenced by Dior is "smooth and attenuated." The skirt is flared.
Givenchy's suit with a tubular jacket and a floating belt in back has also become popular in America this year. It gives the long, lithe silhouette look of a sheath worn with a straight jacket.
Jackets Show Dior Trend
The slightly widened shoulders on the sports jackets in this fall's wardrobe is a Dior trend. He underscores it with a fully pleated skirt.
It is true that most of our styles are adaptations of the French fashions—the Paris look is here and you are wearing it.

The sheath, softened after the manner of Givcheny, has its newness stemming from the criss-cross hip belt of rayon satin and the shirring in the back below the waistline.
rather than gathered, and the vertical lines are emphasized by seaming.
Also from the Givenchy collection come the willow, beltless sheaths. Their simple lines are achieved by curved seaming. The sheath's one-piece look requires a trim figure, however, the result is chic.
Satin Seen Here
The young-minded daytime suit by Dior has been translated into a sophisticated evening ensemble with a shortened jacket, setting off a short-sleeved dress. If you want to wear it with Paris French accessories, choose a deep hat and an oversized muff.
Satin, which has always been so important in Paris late-day collections, has arrived as an evening highlight on this side of the Atlantic. Among our important silhouettes for after-five is one with candy-box banding on satin, wrapping the bodice, and ending in a tie below the waistline.
Here they are—the Paris fashions as we wear them. The next time you hear of Dior's or any French designers "new look," don't scoff, for you may be wearing the American translation.
The Gourmet's Corner
Today's column has a dual purpose: to show how leftover turkey and chicken can be used up in a simple and tasty manner and to introduce wine in cooking.
For Those Leftovers Try Turkey Tetrazzini
Wine is as old as civilization. Its actual birthplace is not known, but there is evidence that it was being produced in Egypt about 2,400 B.C. A picture of wine growing in Asia Minor is found in both the Old and New Testaments.
Today wine is produced in every country along the Mediterranean and is the universal mealtime beverage in Greek and Latin nations. It is commonly used in cooking, and although heat destroys the alcoholic content and only a small amount is needed, it heightens the flavor and aroma of foods. Connoisseurs have created a vast literature on the proper selection of wines to complement foods. Briefly, seafoods and fowl require a white wine; steaks and roasts, a red wine; and desserts, a sweet wine.

If you have some extra time during the Christmas holidays and are thinking of summer fashions, you might make yourself a patio skirt out of upholstery fabrics. Several Miami concerns are offering the ever-popular circle skirt in gay upholstery fabric trimmed with upholstery trim, such as ball or curtain fringe. The skirts generally have the advantage of being heavier than dress fabrics, and therefore don't crush as badly when packed.

Amy Vanderbilt, who seems to be taking Emin's place as an authority on etiquette, says that today when young men and boys whistle at a young woman it is usually because she is well-behaved and tastefully dressed. Miss Vanderbilt believes that no young woman should evoke whistles, but she should not be insulted for she knows she is attracting attention by being and looking like a lady.

Scenery Weight Hits Nanette Fabray
NEW YORK (U.P.)-Veteran actress Nanette Fabry recovered in a hospital today from a king-size headache she got last night when an scenery weight struck her during the Sid Caesar television show.
The 20-pound pipe fell from somewhere above backstage just as Miss Fabray had completed a skit and was heading for a costume change. It crashed to the floor next to her and bounced up, striking her on the head. The nine-foot-long pipe also hit dancer Buddy Schab, 25.
Miss Fabray was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. NBC officials said preliminary X-rays showed she did not suffer a skull fracture, but that Dr. Irving Somach had advised her to remain in the hospital under observation for several days. Schwab was not injured seriously.
Caesar announced at the end of the show, that there had been an accident backstage, but gave no details. The television audience did not see the mishap.
Although not yet in commercial production, a flameproof finish for cotton materials may soon be used for women's and children's clothing. Developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for safer military uniforms, the process gives a lighter weight fabric than old finishes. Durability is increased as well as wrinkle and rot resistance.
