The college g irl, the school g irl,
the ca re e r g ir l and the teen-age
group who know th e ir fashions have
become d e fin ite ly cotton-consciofis
these days. The new " ra v e ’ ' is the
elegant looking velveteens in b lack
and adorable colors, also the v e ry
handsome corduroys th a t are being
m ade up in to coats and suits.
T here’ s a new w ide - w ale cotton

No doubt the g ir l going aw ay to

w ill be glad she took a chic gingham

There w ill be d a rk cotton d irn d ls

The g irls say they are less cu m b e r­

H a rve st ants, and p a rtic u la rly the
stinging, or " f ir e " ants o f the South

In Texas and other p a rts o f the
Southwest, stin g in g ants have been
know n to h a lt m ilita r y d rillin g u n til
they were exte rm in a te d .
Ants fo ste r aphids, p la n t lice, and
m e a ly bugs fo r food. They c a rry
the aphid eggs underground in the
autum n and p ro te ct them o ver the

the young aphids to “ p asture” by
tra n sp o rtin g them to succulent p la n t

Because the much-beloved v e lve t­

the ju n io r "d a te " dress, shown to

The
shoulder yoke and w ide hem are

bodice and s k irt are v io le t wool. Red
wool binds sleeves and w aistline,
also outlines the velveteen all
