Registered Cosmetologists Association I 4 > Honoring MISS EVELYN HAZLE, Queen Azalea XI j . i , - f We feel that we would not be doing justice to you, our friends and customers, here in Clinton without letting you in on the greatest thing that has happened to us in the history of our stores. Probably you heard Chief Ballard and Sgt. Pat terson go through town last Monday evening with sirens blow ing. They were escorting the Azalea Queen, Miss Evelyn Hazle, to the city limits of Laurens. And Murphy Timmerman, in a convertible, drove behind them, with the queen and the alternate from Laurens, Miss Emily Brownlee—and yours truly had to get in the picture also. In the second convertible 'Slick' Pitts followed with Rev. and Mrs. Hazle. Last of all, Mr. Cha ney, who had to travel to keep up. Probably most of you are wondering why I was so interested in this queen. All of you know I also have a store in Laurens, and this little 'Cinderella queen' of 5 ft. 2 in. is an extra sales- EVENING DRESSES WORN BY THE QUEEN For the parade on Tuesday she wore a white silk marquisette dress over a body of white satin. The bodice was made em pire fashion, sweetheart neckline, small cap sleeves, with wide girdle of blue satin all around the waist, forming a large bus tle in back, and cascading to bottom of the hemline. This was an original by Harry Kieser, and purchased by us espe cially for this event. For evening, dancing, etc., a little Cin derella dress of pink taffeta, fitted basque waist with off the shoulder neckline, and small cap sleeves. Down the back was vel vet ribbon lacing, forming a bow, a waist line, and very full skirt with hoop at bot tom. This also had mittens of pink taffeta.

The dress worn for the crowning of the queen and the coronation! ‘ball was the little dream dress she wore in the contest in Laurens, and the one she wanted to wear this time, It was orchid taffeta, bare shoulder, very tight waist and full tiered skirt. The front of the dress was trim med with tiny covered buttons to waist, the back with bows of self material from top of waist to bottom of skirt. This But tons and Bows dress w^as designed by Emma Domb and purchased from our store by the queen’s sister, Miss Dorothy Hazle, and given to the queen. oirl there, and has been for over a year. Mr. Chaney and I are both very fond of Evelyn, and although I was with her at the festival for the whole time, and it has been said that I was her adviser, I did not have to give her any advice. She won it on her own merit with her wonderful personality, her poise, and her sweet smile, as you can see from the picture below. All I could do was furnish her the clothes Hiat she had to have. We were not asked to do this, we did it because we wanted to, ond we are very happy over the fact that we helped in a small way to bring the Eleventh Azalea Queen back to Laurens County. Below we are giving you a list of the clothes she wore dur ing the festival from our stores. Also specials in our od else where in this paper for this week, honoring our little queen, so you, our customers, can help also. Thanks. —MRS. ETHEL CHANEY.
