The annual big push is on, to
make real-live college girls look
like they do in the movies.
Each year about this time, mil-
liana of words are poured forth on
what the well-dressed girl will wear
to college.
Fashion magazine staffs predict
that this year's college girl will look
neat and sweet, clad in plaid, piq-
uant in pique or cute in corduroy.
They exhort her to cultivate the
“clean, shining American look,” re-
mind her that this is the year for'
feminity with a capital F. urge her '
to be a belle in bell skirts over
crinolines.
Department stores open their col- |
lege shops with displays of what'
their buyers think college girls
should wear, against a background [
of pennants, footballs and class-1
room impedimenta.
For the rest of this month a dis-
interested observer might think the
fate of the world hung on whether
