According to the Council, there are more than 80 different styles of karat gold and gold-filled neck chains to choose from. Some are dainty, with an heirloom look, for the lass with the delicate air; others, bolder and more modern- istic, have unisex appeal. Many styles are available with matching wrist chainis for the popular coordinated look.

Many of the things you love to wear all summer long have a place on campus this fall, too. Those pretty print sun- dresses, especially the dark tones, will look just great with a T-shirt underneath. Or change the look entirely by wearing a shirt or blouse over the dress, belted at the waist for an updated style. The foot-care experts at the Scholl company remind returning co-eds that the excitement of a new semester doesn't mean they can forget the - need for staying in shape. One of the easiest ways to keep fit and be comfortable at the same time is by wearing the Scholl exercise sandal. This summertime favorite can be worn year 'round. Add a pair of warming socks, bright knee- hi's or tights to keep the chill off, and you're all set for even the briskest fall days. Not only do the sandals look great, but the raised toe-crest encourages feet and leg muscles to exercise as you walk, strengthening and toning without extra effort on your part. Other summer-to-fall changeabouts to consider.:. slip a pair of skinny pants under your summer tent dresses, nipped at the waist with a scarf or belt. Add comfy leg-warmers to your walking shorts. On the first chilly day, tuck your lightweight summer shawl under your coat. With a little thought, you'll be able to keep the best of summer long into fall. This books can do - nor this alone: they give New views to life, and teach us how to live; They soothe the grieved, the stubborn they chastise; Fools they admonish, and confirm the wise. Their aid they yield to all: they never shun The man of sorrow, nor the wretch undone; Unlike the hard, the'sel- fish, and the proud, They fly not sullen from the suppliant crowd; Nor tell to various people various things, But show to subjects, what they show to kings. - George Crabbe School's In - Drive Carefully!
