GIRLS TAKE PART IN PRESENTING 1935 FASHIONS
Bows, Wooden Buttons, and Off-The-
Face Hats Prove Popular In Display
SPRING STYLES ARE MORE
STRIKING THAN COLORFUL
More striking than colorful, the
new spring styles tend toward a
combination of brown, yellow, and
white, or navy-blue-and-white
combination. In keeping with this,
Stephenville stores are offering
lovely navy blue hose inexpensive-
ly priced and novel blue patent
leather purses. Most of the white
shoes are combined with brown.
In suits, three-quarter length
coats are most popular, with
blouses still being worn out of the
skirt. Many coats worn over
dresses are of contrasting material
or color. Bows and profuse.use of
wooden buttons continue in popu-
larity.
Hats are definitely off-the-face,
■with a marked trend of low brims
at the nape of the neck. Crowns
are not as flat as last year's.
All these latest trends of spring
fashions were emphasized at the
Twentieth Century Club Style Show
Wednesday night at the Majestic
Theatre. The eighteen modes dis-
played were representative of other
similar new frocks which the lead-
ing dress shops are featuring. Sev-
eral Tarleton girls took part as
models.
A brown and white ensemble
with a quilted, three-quarter length
coat of novelty cotton weave worn
over a linen dress (if small bi-"wn
check was modeled by Nradine
Keith, representative of the new
spring dresses at the Blue Bonnet
Shop. She wore an off-the-face
straw hat.
Frilled ruffle collar and organdy
gloves were the extremely femin-
ine effect on the solid white outfit
worn by Beverly Kaiser. Her off-
the-face hat, as well as her dress,
was of white crepe.
Mae Evelyn White, also repre-
senting the Blue Bonnet, wore an
evening dress of sky-blue lace, with
a high pleated ruffle around the
neck.
A practical and very dressy two-
piece yellow crepe dress with a
short fitted coat of brown crepe,
brimmed brown straw hat, brown
and white oxfords, and white
gloves and purse was modeled by
Sarah Frances Ross from Carlton's.
White organdy collar and fabric
gloves offset a severe navy blue
crepe from Carlton's. The model,
Mildred Williams, also wore a
shiny, rough-straw hat with a
brim.
A red-and-white sash was the
only color on the white net evening
dress worn by Laverne Whitacre
from. Carlton's. The tendency of
the sheer evening dresses was to
wear the slip several inches short-
er than the hemline of the gown.
A wide straw hat with a band of
blue patent was worn by Melba
A tor with a white flannel suit with
a light blue, print blouse,
A formal afternoon dress by
Marquisette, probably the most
stylish dress in the show, was of
black starched chiffon with a
barely-preceptible stripe, featuring
gardenias at the back of a frilled
neckline. The sleeves were full-
length, with a set-in frill at the
wrist. The taffeta slip was eut
extremely low at the back. Frances
Williams, representing' Cox's mod-
eled.
A heavy navy Hue spring coat
with narrow bands of squirrel
around the flared collar was worn
over a printed navy crepe dregs
featuring four big grosgrain rib-
bon balls from neck to waist was
worn by Evelyn Fitzhugh. Her ac-
cessories, including- hose, were na-
vy blue.
Mary Bert McAfee modeled a
brown, yellow, and white outfit
from the Frances Shop of Blake-
ney's. A. yellow waffle-wave three-
quarter length coat with brown
taffeta bow and huge wooden but-
tons was removed to show a yellow
flannel skirt and boucle sweater.
Although no others were modeled,
i boucle suits, as everyone knows,
are extremely good this year.
- A navy wool suit with wide bands
of ;>rity Iti'lfllcm uii the three-C; ■
ter length sleeves and a taffeta
bow at the nape of the neck was
modeled by Fay Hamilton from the
Frances Shop.
Pink and quaint and fluffy was
the net evening1 dress from' Blake-
ney's worn by Maxine Clements.
In keeping- with this daintiness, a
pale blue and pink sash was the
only contrast. There was a wide
gathered ruffle on the full skirt-
Margaret Pruitt jauntily sported
a brown rough crepe of small
check, wearing brown and white
oxfords and a white felt sailor.
Also from Higginbotham's, Lu-
cille Moser wore one of the few
dresses of color. It was an almost-
pastel grey-green dress trimmed
with brown, with wide bands of
brown fur at the sleeves of the
jacket. Her hat was of a dull
rough brown straw, also an off-
the-face model.
A crepe effect of a brown and
yellow tweed suit with a large
brown bow and patent purse and
white hat was worn by Sanimie
Casbeer, representing Higginboth-
am's new, spring" styles.
Carolyn C:ige wore a light-blue
net evening nown of silk net from
Higginbotham's.
In brown, yellow, and a bit of
green a novelty-weave coat of wide
checks was modeled by Elizabeth
Stafford from Higginbotham's. Her
dress was yellow, as was her brim-
med felt hat.
Virginia Ayecs wore a green
evening- dress of heavy crepe with
a high neckline and slit shirt,
A Freshman Girl Writes
Oh boy,
Don't I wish
That, f were a Senior girl
So that I could wear
White shoes
And white ties.
Am I sad
When I think
Of the year I'll have to wait
Before I can wear those
White shoes
And white ties.
Yet I hate
To see the time
Come when I am a Senior, for
Then I'll have to polish and
Clean my white shoes
And white tie.
'S ALL IN THE
YOU DO YOUR HAIR
Are you in the mood to appear
girlish and saintly? Or would you
prefer to slay your enemies and
friends with a look of hauteur?
It's all in the way you do your
hair, according to the beauty edi-
tor of Pictorial Reviaw. For the
above-mentioned girlish and saint-
ly mood, dip your lovely head and
part your hair firmly in the mid-
dle. There! You are girlishly naive
and innocent and sweet. But per-
haps you don't want to invite peo-
ples to see jf butter will melt in
your mouth. Well! That's simple!
Attain suavity and grandeur by
pushing your hair on top of your
head in definite fancy curls and
waves.
But the fickle female may have
changed her mind again, and with
every change of mind, there is a
change of coiffure. As many as
that! Milady has decided to be
daring and dashy. Presto! The
flow of her coiffure is straight
back, off the face, and there she
is, as ordered.
Still, being- daring is a trifle wear-
ing. Tired of that, our much eoif-
fured but still changeable darling
has decided to be feminine. This
time get the scissors. Cut a lot of
bangs, so thick they're almost a
pompadour, and the roundness of
the coiffure gives effeminate
roundness to the face.
How to register a mood of anger
if your coiffure fails to satisfy,
however, the editor neglected to
say.—M, J. D,

"You'll have to send for another
doctor," said the one who had been
called, after a glance at the pati-
ent.
"Am I so ill as that?" gasped
the, suffered.
"I don't know just how ill you
are," replied the man of medicine;
"but I know you're the lawyer who
cross-examined me when I appear-
ed as an expert witness. My con-
science won't let ma kill you, I'll
be hanged if I want to cure you.
Good day."

LONG, GIRLISH LINES
ARE BEST FOR 1935
Long, girlish flattering lines
predominate in Parisian styles
this spring and summer. Ladies'
worries over the fussy, frilly
dresses are over, for this year at
any rate. Graceful flares that flat-
ter the figure are prevalent in the
New York shop windows. "Ye
weightful" women must "take it
off here and off there" so that you
may beautifully wear these prin-
cess lines.
In accordance with the dress
lines, the hair is of a more grace-
ful swirl. No tight waves or tight
curls agree with the spring fash-
ions. Breezy waves and airy curls
will send the beautiful American
lady for the top of fashion news.
Accessories play a leading role
in the new fashions. Knit caps,
bags, and gauntlet sets are beauti-
ful with the smart woman. Almost
every style of hat is being worn
this year, but one noticeable fact
leads us to think of a few years
back—the big brim hats. Part of
the street hats have brims large
enough that they could he used as
a bridesmaid's hat or a dinner Tiat.
Old Ivory, blue, and white, are
the colors that are rushing the
markets this season.

Blue Dresses With Black Accessories
for Girls, Khaki for Boys—Season's Best
According to the latest fashion
sheets, blue* will be the leading
color this Spring. The most popu-
lar blue day time frocks being
shown are simply made and fin-
ished with four pockets. The ac-
cessories will be white or black,
but never both. Fashion experts
stated that white accessories
should be worn by the privileged
classes only. The privileged class-
es who hold the distinction are
composed of graduating seniors.
Black, however, seems to be the
most popular for accessories. The
accessories include matching be-
rets, ties, shoes, and, when pos-
sible, wraps.
Fashion experts have also sta-
ted that the male apparel for
spring will be khaki in most cases.
TT"r :-i -irr^ will be worn on spec-
ial occasions, but an entire suit of
khaki will be worn at other times.
Brown accessories, consisting of a
Sam Browne belt and brown shoes,
wili complete the outfit in most
eases. Extra ornaments will prob-
ably be worn by a few men.
According to recent observations,
hair dress for the ladies will con-
sist of bangs, curls, and braids.
The bangs may be worn either
curled or straight, according to
the individual. Bangs, it seems,
may be worn with almost any type j
hair dress. Although bangs seem
more popular, a few curls about
the face have been seen. Braids
are also very good for dress-up
occasions. The braids are worn
either around the head or to com-
plete the coiffure at the back of
the head. Braids, like bangs, are
worn with every type hair dress.
(Adapted from the Feb. Vogue by
a Member of the J-Tac Staff)
Curls, bangs, bonnets, childish
round collars, capes, delicate col-
ors, laces, flowers™we are adopt-
ing them all. Our new clothes are
frankly charmers, using every wile
to aceent our femininity.
Hats! From pill-box to cape-
line. You will wear the sort of
hats that make men slightly nerv-
ous. The hats poke out and for-
ward at unexpected angles. You
might choose felt or grosgrain in
a pill-box hat. Among the straws
are leghorns, pajamas and toyos
(in pastel shades,) and lovely na-
tural yellow straws as light as air.
Velvet ribbon trimming (yards of
it,) velvet facings, flowers and
fantasies— they are all here.
Daytime clothes: Straight and
slim is the daytime password. Your
daytime skirt may have a small
slit, to give you more freedom.
Necklines stand high in the list of
details made to charm—little round
collars, scarfs, and contrast
achieved by any and every color
in the rainbow. For daytime wear,
two colors are smarter than one.
Black is important, of course, but
it is used this year with bright or
pastel accents to give contrast and
add chic. Navy blue is bigger
than ever; the neutrals are good,
too—beige, and grey with darker
accents. Prints are good.
Fur capea, with a strong run on
the sable, mink, marten type of fur
and silver fox, still ride high.
Coats: Here you have the wid-
est choice ever. You may have
three for town wear and not have
too many, or you might have none
and get along very weft. The
short, odd coats are a new note.
Suits; This is a bigger suit sea-
son than ever, with an enormously
wide choice. They have fitted and
square-cut jackets, short, medium,
or long. Bold checks are import-
ant.
Day dresses: Slim and straight
with all attention on the details of
the necklines and the length of the
sleeves, which can vary from a
short six-inch variety to full
length. Dresses that look like
coats are very important as are
two-piece dresses.
Evening silhouettes: The new
fine at night consists in floating
around nebulously in chiffon or
gauze. All very ethereal and
weakersex. If this thought dis-
mays you, stick by all means to the
crisp-skirted picture type you con-
quored in this winter, or to the
slim, straight type. You are very
liable to have sleeves in all your
evening gowns—full length, full
ones, full ones in your gauzy dress;
short, folded or puffed in others.
Hemlines are accented by bandings
or cordings or stiffening'.
Your wrap can be long' and fitted
(probably of taffeta,) or very short
and flaring.
Evening colors: Light, mostly,
with a great run on pink. Black
is used in the sheer fabrics. The
soft blues and greys are used in
combination with magentas and
dark reds. White is good in all
fabrics (was white ever bad?)

VOGUE'S PREVIEW
OF SPRING MODES
.1 Capes for day and night.
Elboiw length, waist-length, hip-
length, full-length.
2. Chiffon for evenings—va-
porous*, clinging, floating.
3. Totally heelless evening
slippers.
4. Dusty pastels for day and
night. Darker for the day, of
course, but still pale, soft, and
subtle.
5. Taffeta for suits, scarf3,
blouses. Spring will be crisp.
6. Foolish little flat round
hats (like mats) that sit oil
the top of your skull and have
nothing to do with the main
stream of the millinery mode,
7. Darkish underwear. Un-
frock a lady, and you may find
raspberry 'colored lingerie—or
misty grey—or dull blue.
Black and navy blue are smart—
navy blue often used in combina-
tion with, lighter blue and red.
Evening prints; There are
very smart new geometrical prints
for evening—usually white on a
dark ground, and very new in the
soft, pussy willow type of taffeta.
Stlyized designs very widely spaced
on pale backgrounds are smart,
too.
Evening fabrics: Chiffon, mar-
quisette, net, arid many ney types
of "sheers" come fii'st by night.
Taffeta goes on, and many crisp
laces are used, often stiffened for
a skirt flounce.
Skirt Lengths: By day, an inch
or more shorter, about twelve
inches off the floor. By evening,
some touching, some trailing, some
short in front.
