THAT MAKES up for the frustrations of living with so many people are the friendships we make, the catalogues tell us. The conservative from Minnesota exchanges views with the communist from New York.... Actually the conservative from Minnesota is hating the communist from New York for taking her hair curlers. Usually girls band together in groups of four or five that eat together and try to ignore everyone else, but things are fluid enough so that everyone has some casual friendships (casual in the sense of chance). Few are aware of it, but it is these casual friendships that...

...necessarily. Anyone can like the flavor. The style of dress is consistently tasteful. Girls often wear high heels and stockings. Coats with fur collars, small pins and wristwatches, camel's hair anything, gloves, jackets with print linings, and pretty colored sweater sets are common. This style approves highly of boys with vests, pipes, and woolen scarves around their necks and likes to dress up on dates...

...Radcliffe stereotype, and probably give wholesome Harvard freshmen from Iowa their first proof that the East is indeed strange looking. Greek shoulderbags are extremely popular, as are ski jackets, black tights. pierced ears, half high heels, scarves around their neck, long unpolished fingernails, rain ponchos, jewelry, and long hair. The most well-dressed of them imitate a European sort of gray-beige expensive simplicity: the sloppy ones wear skipolo shirts and dungarees and can be called (to their probable distain) "hip.". They have generally been to Europe, or hitchhiked across America...
