FURS FOR FALL—Raccoon is flying high in fashion this year both on and off the campus. Above, left to right, Frances Fullerton, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, and Constance Scott, Pittsburg sophomore, model the latest styles in suits and coats, both complete with the new raccoon collars.
Raccoon Rings Loudly In 1959 Fashion World
The high point in fashion this year is like a backtrack into the era of the fabulous Twenties. The raccoon collar, first popularized over 30 years ago, has been brought out of moth balls and will trim the outfits of all "fashion-wise" ladies.
The furry collar is found on almost any type of clothing — from formal suits and dresses to the casual sweaters. It is also especially popular as collars on coats.
Variety of Sizes
Raccoon collars come in both detachable and permanent form and can be attached or removed according to the weather or the occasion. Many all-weather coats are coming out with the detachable fur collars making the coats doubly suitable for all occasions.
The collars are found in all sizes. Many articles are seen with the great shawl collars of racecoon, while others are trimmed with only a tiny Peter Pan collar.
An extra attraction to the new fur collar is the tiny racoon hat which can be-purchased to complete the new outfits. Most of the fur hats are tiny and either perch on top of the head or fit it snugly in cap-form.
Also seen as trimming this year are fox and opossum furs, mostly in shades of black and gray. And for the ladies who can afford to wear them, there are collars and hats of pure, luxurious mink to bedeck the garments.
However, raccoon fur looks especially appropriate in the college atmosphere, so expect to see lots and lots of this new look on campus.
Color Is Important
But with such snappy trimming as fur, color in a wardrobe becomes extremely important.
Color news in a well-planned wardrobe this fall includes such staples as brass, scarlet, blue-red, camel, grey, blue and black-and-white. Lots of accessory colors combine with them safely; others go with them to make hot fashion news.
Brass, for example, is the most news worthy with red, white and grey. It looks safe with black and
more brass; but loses its impact when touched up with pale colors like soft blue or pink.
Scarlet is perkiest when accented with gold, white and camel; safe combined with beige, black, or navy. Beware of using scarlet in combination with another very bright color; the impact will be overpowering.
Camel looks snappiest if used with gold, olive, brown and red; is safe with black and white. Almost any color is safe with grey, but don't try to combine too many colors with it at once. Black-and-white is hottest this year with a deep orange, golden-yellow, or a strong red; safe with more black and white.
If you have certain blocks about color, now is the time to find out why. Usually it is a skin-tone problem. Don's forget about the magic of make-up; it can do wonders for you. So get set for lots of color fun this season.
Legs Take Over In Fashion Fun And Tomfoolery
Kappa Phi Makes Fall Retreat Plans
Kappa Phi, Methodist women's organization, will have a retreat at 5 p.m. Tuesday for all members. The retreat was formerly scheduled for Sept. 26.
College women who believe their legs are not attractive can do something about it during the coming academic year, destined to be the leggiest campus era since the Twenties—if not more so.
Members will meet at the Wesley Foundation and have been asked to bring dues to the meeting.
Short hemlines are only partly responsible for all the fuss. It's the exciting things that have been happening to hosiery—in color, texture, pattern, and shape—which really make legs the new center of gravity in campus fashions, and make it possible to dress last year's gams in this year's glamour.
Nylon stretch tights, which came out of nowhere a couple of seasons ago and already are firmly established. have acquired a fresh look for 1959. They are bedecked with everything from clocks that spell out the names of colleges to multi-colored bows that harmonize with virtually any shade of sportswear.
Other novelties include elaborately decorated tooreader styles with matching booties and an all-in-one tight-and-pantie combination with a pantie-weight top and sheer leg.
The popularity of tights has inspired a group of thigh-high casual stockings, many of which give the illusion of tights. Available in full-fashioned and seamless versions, they come in bright opaque knits with a country air, and in muted semi-opaque textures elegant enough for city wear. Some have an elasticized band that eliminates the need for garters.

Selecting the right tint in dressy sheers for field trips off campus, weekends, and gala evenings will be the real test of a college girl's hosiery I.Q. Color looms as bigger news than ever, but subtlety is still the watch-word, the trick being to "rev" up but not necessarily imitate the color of the rest of the ensemble—for example, golden browns to enhance the burnished golds, tobacco tones, and ember reds in fall and winter apparel; green-cast golds and soft bronzine greens to blend with the deep greens; mauve taupes to accent black, gray, the new wine reds, and royal blues.
