Ja an a d/ By Sonia Riffle Choosing a suit can be a prob lem, if you yourself allow it to be one. The great array of fall and winter suits now displayed at the various stores is enough to con fuse any girls' mind, but picking one which suits your personality, figure, and purpose, calls for care fiul consideration. Suits with boxy jackets are be loved by all, but little "Miss Five by-Five" just can't wear then successfully. They tend to cut one's height and make a short, plump girl look shorter and truly "'Gplumper." little 'NI"iss Five-by Five" would do well to leave the boxy suits to her tall, slender girl friends, who can wear them very well, and choose for herself a tailored suit with straight, slender izing lines. The trim, form-fitting suits add to one's height, which is in itself slenderizing. Your suit must have color and the color must harmonize with your skin tone and hair, or all is lost. A suit can be very smart looking, but if it is on the wrong girl, the whole effect is ruined. Here, we find that lights and darks make the contrast, and the contrast is what mrakes the effect an interesting one. Accessories To "l)ress Up" Suits Little fur collars adorn many smart suits this year, as do black or brown velvet collars and large bows. The necklines are both high and low for suits, and the large, low-cut pilgrim collars broaden the shoulder line (which, by the way, makes the waist look smaller). A suit that can be "dressed up or down" with accessories would be a wise choice for the co-ed. Rhinestone clips placed on the' lapel or near the neck of a suit adids emp)hasis and sparkle. The Aamed clip could be worn at the waist inste'ad, to emphasize a tiny waist. Pearls are the Amer ican girls' famous ''stand-by," and they're truly feminine and flatter ing to anyone. * All over America ing to Winston-th smokers can enjoy! -- full, rich, tobacc flavor, Winston brlh unique, it's differen Around 9 T7he .

(Author of "Barefoot Be Wit Choeh," 090 HOME, SWEET HOMECOMING A great number of people have been asking me lately, "What is Homecoming?" Yesterday, for example, as I walked from my house to the establishment of Mr. Sigafo6s, the local lepidopterist where I had left a half dozen luna moths to be mounted - a distance of no more than three blocks - I'll wager that well over a thousand people stopped me and said, "What is Homecoming?" Well, what with company coming for dinner and the cook down with a recurrence of breakbone fever, I could not tarry to answer their questions. "Read my column next week " I cried to them. "I'll tell all about Home oning." With that i brushed past and raced home to baste the iallard and apply poultices to the cook, who, despite my unending ministrations, expired quietly during the night, a woman in her prime, scarcely 108 years old. Though her passing grieved me, it was some satisfaction to be able to grant her last wish - to be buried at sea - which is no small task when you live in Pierre, South Dakota. With the dinner uests fed and the cook laid to her watery rest, I put out the cat and turned to the problem of Homecanling. First of all, let us define Homecoming. Homecoming is a weekend when old graduates return to their a ma maters to see a football g ame, ingest great quantities of food and drink, aid inspect each other's bald spots. This occasion is marked by the singing of old songs, the slapping )f old backs, and the frequent utterance of such outcries as "Harr you old polecat!" or "Harry, you old rooster!" or "Harry, you or wombat!" or "Harry, you old mandrill!" All old grada are nam$ liarry. During Homecoming the members of the faculty behave with unaccustomed animation. They laugh and smile and pound backs and keep shouting, "Harry, you old retriever!" These unscholarly actions are performed in the hope that the old grads, in a transport of bonhomie, will endow a new geology building. The old grads, however, are seldom seducpd. By game time on Saturday, their backs are so sore, thqir eyes so bleary, and their livers so sluggish that it is impossible to get a kind word out of them, much less a new geology building. "inmphh!" they snort as the home team completes a 101 yard march to a touchdown. "Call that football? Why, back in my day they'd have been over on the first down. By George, football was- football back in those days - not this namby painby girls game that passes for football today. Why, look at that bench. Fifty substitutes sitting there! Why, n my day, there were eleven men on a team and that was it. When you broke a leg, you got taped up and went right back in. Why, I remem ber the big game against State. Harry Wallaby, our, star quarter back, was killed in the third quarter. I mean he was pronounced (lead. But did that stogf old Harry? Not on your tintype! Back in he went and kicked the winning drop-kick in the last four seconds of lay, (lead as he was. Back in my day, they played football, by GeorgeF" Everything, say the old grads, was better back in their day - everythink except one. Even the most unreceonstructed of the old grads has to admit that back in his day they never had a smoke like today's vintage Philip Morris - never anything so mild and pleasing, day in day out, at study or at play, in sunshine or in shower, on grassy bank or musty taproom, afoot or ahorse, at home or abroad, any time, any weather, anywhere. I take up next another important aspect of Homecoming-the decorations in front of the fraternity house. Well (1o I remember one Homecoming of my undergraduate days. The game was againasl Princeton. The Homecoming slogan was "llold That Tiger!" Each fraternity house built a decoration to r 'lect that slogan, and on the morning of the game a group of digittaries toured Fraternity Row to inspect the lecorations and award a prize for the best. Q The decoration chairman at our house was an enterprisingg young man named Rex Sigafoos, nephew of the famous lepidopterist. Rex surveyed Fraternity Row, came back to our house and said, "All the other houses are building cardboard cages with cardboard tigers inside of them. We need to do something different - and I've got it. We're going to have a real cage with a real tiger inside of it - a snarling, clawing, slashing, real live tiger!" . "Crikey!" we breathed. "But where will you get him?". "I'll borrow him from the zoo," said Rex, and sure enough, he did. Well sir, you can imagine what a sensation it was on Home coining morning. The judges drove along nodding politely at card board tigers in cardboard cages and suddenly they came to our house. No sham beast in a sham cage here! No sir! A real tiger in a real cage - a great striped jungle killer who slashed and roared and snarled and dashed himself against the bars of his cage with mani acal fury. There can be no doubt that we would have easily taken first prize had not the tiger knocked out the bars of the cage and leaped into the offcial car and devoured Mr. August Schlemmer, the governor of the state, Mr. Wilson Ardsley Devereaux, president of the uni versity, Dr. 0.
