Accessories

They Have Eyes, Too, For Practicality By JEAN TABBERT

OOLOR and practicality, the perennial characteristics of the college girl's living quarters, are spiced up this year with a multitude of “ready to live” room accessories. 2 “ The “mainstay” of a college room is the bedspread and drapery ensemble. This year they're available in many designs. Quality is important as well as easy upkeep and sturdiness. The “wrinkle resistance” offered by Bates and the reversible talents of their products are two added assets every college-bound girl will admire, “Tomorrow” is a multi-colored plaid on a tan ground, and “Salem” 18 an authentic clipper ship design in sea blue, green,

\Most Women Pay Less Than

1$10 for Hats

Price Averages Rise 87 Per Cent Sihcé "38 ‘By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent NEW, YORK, Aug. 8~The average woman pays considerably less than $10 for a hat, and the milli. nery industry finally got ‘around to recognising that she’s as interested in its «style as she is in its price tag.

The Millinery Stabilization commission's first budget millinery fashfon show this week presented more than 100 hats, by 30-odd manufacturers, all priced under $12.50 and almost all exceedingly handsome, Most prominent colors in the thow were off-white and brandy (thisgseason’s more spirited version of luggage or caramel brown), Black led the standard colors by a wide margin, and there were sprinklings of jade and hunter's green and wine shades. Principal difference between the budget hats and the newest high style models is size. The tremendous width sponsored by the customs milliners has not yet reached the volume market—but neither have the high-style dresses for which they are created.

Average Hat Price Tag In 1946 Was $4.17

The elliptical or side-wide hat is a favorite with the budget stylists as it is with the fancier milliners, turning up +4n both turban and Breton styles as well as berets and pillboxes; their hats are perched at the

same back - on - the - head three- |
