Now that the season for Bermuda shorts has passed, young women are wearing jeans or looking for new ideas in relaxation fashions. The manufacturers of the men's Ivy League trousers have remembered the women, with slacks in women's sizes that are cut similar to the men's and have a buckle in back. Watch these take the place of jeans this winter!
For the feminine young woman who likes matching outfits, pastel-colored cigarettes to match or contrast clothes, are now on the market. In lavender, yellow, pink, and two shades of blue, the cigarettes have a gold-colored filter.
Need some extra spending money? Try selling old net formals, which aren't worn as much in college, to high school friends who want a variety of party dresses. They are willing to buy used dresses to add to their wardrobes, and you can buy a new dressy cocktail dress.
If your jewelry box is always dis-organized and cluttered, a Lazy Susan jewelry box is what you need. A revolving organizer similar to the ones used on dining room tables for relishes, the Lazy Susan has separate leather boxes for earrings, necklace, pins, watches, and bracelets.
Try this variation of rice. Just before serving rice, add chopped stuffed olives and butter or margarine. Serve with welsh rabbit or scrambled eggs.

Festive Fashions Featured For Holiday Season
The liveliest time of the year is approaching—a time sparkling with party plans and festive fashions. Many young women will be buying new clothes and accessories for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday parties.
The big party colors this year will be champagne and pink champagne—the light beiges and rosy pinks. The strapless gown is back, and along with it, the full-length evening dress. Skirts range from the bell-shaped in stuff fabrics to a gentle flowing line in soft fabrics.
One dress which carries out the new trends in party fashions is of champagne faille with a short skirt spread wide by its own petticoat, is bordered top and bottom by trim, flat bows, and has three shoestring straps over each shoulder. It is two inches longer than dress-length, a favorite with college-age young women who often dislike the full-length formalms.
Another evening dress, this time floor-length, is made of champagne taffeta poured into intricate folds, with a crush of pleats drawn across the bodice and latticed down the skirt into a long, diagonal apron effect.
Chiffon, one of the most feminine fabrics, is appearing by the skirtful this season. A striking example is a champagne rayon chiffon dress that is accented by a sash of cat'seye green.
Two-piece dresses will be featured. One, of champagne chiffon, has a top swirled into diagonal folds and a skirt which drapes to the hip-
line, then flows freely. This dress can be worn to twice as many parties, with the skirt topped by a dressy cashmere sweater.
For the rain, snowy weather that is prevalent during the holiday season, a gold lame party raincoat with a wide shawl collar that ties in front and sleeves that taper gracefully at the wrists is a perfect wrap for party costumes.
The final festive touch—the shoes.
A new idea is a thin sliver of
metal. It is not much thicker than soda straps but they
are, actually, unbreakable.
A shoe that is little more than a few strips of satin is crowned by a rhinestone-studded toe and on a half-aluminum heel. Another new idea for party pumps is a buckle with an elastic band around it. The buckle is placed on the feet first, then slipped on the shoe so that the buckle overlaps. It's comfortable—and pretty.
If ever a season called for glitter it's now—when the lights come up and the pace quickens. Be your gayest self—in the season's gayest fashions.
Lightweight summer blankets should be laundered by hand or put into the washing machine for a brief but thorough sudsing before they are stored.
