A little fashion history, a lot of style, hints on how to be well dressed without spending a fortune on clothing, made the lesson especially popular for this season when most are planning their spring and summer wardrobes. Fashion is a trend created, but style is your interpretation of that trend, the way you individualize and make it your own! Fashion today has everything going for the woman who knows how to personalize her wardrobe with accessories, o mix and match and extend by careful planning, according to Birdine Tullis. Leader teachers for the lesson were Mildred Rhea, Bea Luciani. Francis McCoy. Betty Schmeder, Dorris Graves. Kathv Clark and Birdine Tullis. during Savings Plan .
