Silk Brocades Lead Holiday Party Styles By Barbara Hawthorne Society Editor Leading the way to the Christ mas parties is chiffon, sometimes partnered with jersey and tweed, sometimes alone. The cover dress, a meld of lilac and periwinkle blue chiffon, is fashionable under a brocade evening coat. A pairing of chiffon and jersey results in a new flowering of the shirt-dress. Arriving for the first time is the halfway hem-halfway between day and evening length but not so far, rarely showing up till sun down. It is especially featured in the newly formal at-home fash ions and in party dresses. It is striking in a wool jersey sheath that has a sash and is streamered with grosgrain. Designers are placing emphasis on feminine bodices, often high wvaisted above a sheath skirt, and on back interest, seen in deeply bared backs and in panel effects. Fabrics that cut a cash-from pat terned wools to silk satin parfait and thin silk brocades--and the bravura of such colors as a royal blue, searlet and tawvny apricot, are in keeping with fashion. Honey Beige Used Honey beige is frequently used in the combination of two differ ent fabrics. Sat.in gleams its way through entire fall collections, from small collars and pipings to whole, smoothly shaped dresses and the giant stoles that some times go along. Fresh importance is given to the costume. Back-belted boxy jackets and short waistline jackets take Lurnis over sheath dresses, soIme wit h scoped necklines and others with blouse-l ike bodices at tached to high rising skirts. A neCw combination in short dinner costumes is a short wvool jlersey jacket with a black .silk crepe slip dtress. Curved slimly to the figure or smioothly shaped out, the one-piece dresses are oIf comparable impor.. tance to the costume. Fine-feeling wools used include chiffon tweed, Gle.n plaid wool jersey, llama cloth--a cashmere and worsted blend, French shadow plaid worstedl and domino jersey. Preview of Styles ff you're lucky enough to have a winter holiday coming up or if you want a previewv of what you'll he wearing next summer, look to HIaitLi, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba which are backgrounds for the latest resort fashions. Bright white shows up often in dresses, skirts, sweaters, swimsuits and shorts. Bright white is sometimes striped with black: a black and white striped maillot, for examp)le, and a two-piece swimsuit. Bermuda shorts are taking on different looks. The "classic way" is to wear them with a cashmere cardigan sweater and a short sleeved blouse all dyed to match. The "new way" in Jamaica shorts is imported printed linen topped by a matching printed and plain linen drawatring- blouse.

RIT 7 'IX Mth (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," etc.) THE GIFT HORSE The college life is a busy one, especially at this time of year. What with going to classes and studying for exams and pursuing a full social schedule and construct ing rope ladders to foil dormitory curfews, the average undergrad is so pressed for time that he cannot do justice to his Christmas shopping. Therefore, to aid you in your Christmas shopping, I have gone into the market place and selected for you a list of gifts, notable for their originality. Perhaps the most original gift of all this year is a carton of Philip Morris Cigarettes. "Original?" you ex claim, your bushy young eyebrows rising. "Why, we have been giving cartons of Philip Morris for years!" True, I reply, but each time you give Philip Morris, it is a new treat, a fresh delight, a pristine pleasure. Each carton, each pack, each cigarette, each puff, is just as good as the first one you ever tried. Another gift destined for certain popularity this year is a gift certificate from the American Dental As sociation. This certificate, good at any dentist's office in America, is accompanied by a handsome gift card uponl which is engraved this lovely poem: Merry Christmas, little pal, Do you need some root canal? Prophyflaxis ? Porcelain caps? Bridgework to close np them gaps? Shiny braces that will straighten? Inlays? Fillings? Upper platen? Merry Christmas to your teeth, And the rosy gums beneath. A nothier gift that is always wvelcome is a book, espe cially to People who read. Tfhis Christmas the selection of books is particularly attractive. For lovers of an thologies, there is William Makepeace Sherpai's A Treas ur y of t he W orld's G reat T reasuries. For those who f ancy inspiring success stories, there is the stirring autobi ography of William Makepeace Pemmican entitled How I Got a Fort y Pound Monkey, Off My Rack and Started the Duluth Zoo. For dlevotees of skin-diving, there is I Married a Snorkel by Lydia Makepeace Watershed. For calorie counters andl waistline watchers, there is Harry Makepeace Wildfoster's Eat and Grow Fat. My own favorite book this season is a pulse-p)ounding historical novel from that famous author of pulse-pound ing historical novels, Daphne Makepeace Sigafoos. This one is calledl Egad and Zounds, and it tells the poignant romance of two young lovers, Egad and Zounds, wvho, alas, can never be married, for fiery Egad is but a gypsy lass, while tempestuous Zounds is a Kappa Sigma. They later become Ludwig of Bavaria. My final gift suggestion is one that a great many people have been fervently wishing for since last year. Do you remember the introduction last Christmas of tiny personal portable radios that plugged into your ear? Well, this year, you will be delighted to know, you can buy an Ingenious pick to get them out. @Max shualman, 1956 Old Max 'aid it, baut it bears repeating: A carton of Philip Mors, made by the sponsors o.f this column, ia a Christmas
