For Christmas Parties
Why Buy New Formals? Bedeck the Old Ones!
When a recipe calls for both shortening and molasses, syrup or honey, measure the shortening first, and use the same cup to measure the liquid. The shortening keeps the syrup from sticking to the cup.
By KAREN HILMER
In less than three weeks the jolly little man with the twinkling eyes and the red nose will be climbing down our chimneys—his seasonal pack thrown over his shoulder laden with a multitude of surprises for Christmas morning.
Well, chances are, you could wear that formal till it turned to tatters and oblivious Jim would never know the difference. But you and the girls will!
Santa's yearly visit is generally heralded by a host of diversified festive parties given by many of the organized houses. This year will follow the same pre-Christmas pattern.
But these fun-filled times present quite a problem for many co-eds on the campus. The problem—why, what to wear, of course!
There are three alternatives to alleviate this age-old campus problem. The first one is to buy a new one, What? The well-worn budget will not permit a new one? Then why not try the second alternative.
A typical statement was overheard just the other day: "I can't wear that formal again—Jim has seen it twice! What on earth will he think of me?"
Remodel the old one! Okay, so you are not equipped with the necessary domestic "know-how". Ask for suggestions from some members of the "sewing circle". Every house has one. Or better yet, ask a few of the art students to help you re-design the dress. More than likely they will be glad to give a helping hand.
length, which has been the predominating style for the last three or four years anyway. Then, to really change it—rummage around in the closet till you find those old opera pumps. Have them re-soled and dyed to match the color of the dress. There, you have a new ensemble with very little wear and tear on the old billfold!
The third answer to the problem?
Yes, you guessed it—resorting to the cocktail dress or the two-piece outfit consisting of a black velvet skirt and blouse of the same material.
Dress it up with pearl or rhinestone accessories and you're all set. If you cannot buy something due to funds depleted by Christmas buying why not heed these suggestion? It has been done many times—by the writer of this article for one. No one will ever know the difference and you'll be ten steps ahead of Cinderella!
Set an electric fan at the doorway of closets and turn it to high speed to force out the stale air.
