Cosmetics, as Well as New Fashions, Win

Treo Cheers From the College Girls

/ By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor : AUGUST IS THE MONTH when college girls, in a

tizzy assembling back-to-school clothés and cos-

__metics, have a tonic effect on the rest of the summer-

wilted populace. If, during. the dog days, they can generate so much enthusiasm about their clothes and. their looks, so can we . .

Because they want to look: as pretty as. their new fail clothes, college girls are pretty sharp about their cosmetic selections, it seems, One of-the new befinty ema they're giving a big play is a trio of small lipsticks in a pert little red purse. The set is called “Three Cheers” and is put out by, . Dorothy Gray. Reason the girls like it, they tell us, is thxt the lipstick shades in the set go so well with new fall and be- =’ sides; Dorothy Gray Hpstiehs mic

offer a choice of two different trios of colors (making two complete lipstick “wardrobes” for day and evening). For .. blonds (or brunets with fair skins) there's a set which includes the Dorothy - Gray Nosegay, Siren and South American tones. For brunets with medium or deeper complexions, the set has the Portrajt Pihk, Right Red—and Ripe Cherries lipstick shades. _.

The college girls’ enthusiasm for new fall and winter duds will be boosted a couple more nolcliés THIER week whem two Two- of these are scheduled at Block's on Tuesday—at 2:30 and 5:30 p. m, At Ayres’ they'll have the second pair of fashion teas in a series featuring back-to-school wardrobes. These: will be at 3:15 and 4:15 p. m. Wednesday .in the store's tearoom. In this week's events, they'll show college fashions appearing in the current issue of Mademoiselle ‘magazine.

"Action Bracelefs’ on the Move

WE FOUND OUT THE OTHER DAY that lots of women have to pass up some pieces. of costume ‘jewelry . . necklaces ‘and bracelets . . because standard

"lengths in. these two items are just a little too short to

be comfortable and becoming.on full necks and wrists. For these women, Block's costume jewelry department has some brand-new additions to its line of “jewelry with the real gold look,” The jewelry is called that because it has the delicacy of design. seen in fine jewelry. The new necklaces, in narrow, flexibié link desifh, are about two inthes longer than standard length. The bracelets are about an inch longer than usual, Prices range from $1 to $3.98 plus tax. The latter.price covers the pteces®which are rhinestone studded. Also in Block's costume Jewelry department are some items which are called “action. bracelets,” ‘The name comes from the fact that the dangles or charms on these gbld-foned link affairs frame a movable motif, A gold square, for example, holds a pair of 7-11 numerals which twirl. Other mavables motifs include a number 13, a rooster, a shamrock and a “horseshoe and horse's head. The price is $3 plus tax. Then there's some new Miriam Haskell costume jewelry in the department stones and gold are lightly studded with rhinestones. A multistrand lariat necklace has a topaz-and-rhinestone flower cluster through which the metal strands can be pulled, #0 the cluster may Be worn hige at the throat or in pendant style. The mee. vl

So far as we know, they're still “agin” the use of toothpicks . . . but apparently there are some independent souls prepared to_defy their dicta. Not only that, but they're going to do if in “style,” with a GOLD toothpick. Maybe the corn-on-the-cob season brought it on . .. but‘at Charles Mayer's they

have such a toothpick. Of 14-karat yellow gold, it is a flexible
