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.

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. P. Gransmnire, author of A Treasury of the World's
Great South paws: An Anthology of Left Hand Literature, Mr.
Harrison J. Teed, commissioner of weights and measures, Mrs. Amy
Dorr Nesbitt, inventor of the clarinet, Mr. Jarrett Thrum, world's
135 pound lacrosse champion, Mr. Peter Bennett Rough, editor of the
literary quarterly Spasmi, and Mrs. Ora Wells Anthony, first woman
to tunnel under the North Platte River. ~Max sh,Inmn. 1954
