An ideal decoration for smart cam pus clothes is the new buttons, wheth-. wheth-. er there be rows and rows of them. or perhaps a single huge button placed with a view of "showing off" to the best advantage. The nifty jersey frocks, which are so decidedly "it" for the college girl this fall, make a perfect background for the now-so-chic button trimmings.
