CUMMER FASHIONS are univer-
sally appealing. They have the
crisp and fresh look, and there’s
something for everybody’s taste
and budget. A
If you like the fragile and femi
nine clothes, there’s a .wealth cf
sheer (materials such as nylons and
tissue cottons and rayons from
which to choose. %
' For those who prefer trim and
tailored lines, there are the be
loved classics with just enough of
the new fashion details to make
them look interesting. The silky
gabardines in wool and rayon as
well as the sheer woolens all vie
for honors in this class.
Fabric Choice
Is Unlimited
Most of the new collections of
summer clothes offer a wonderful
wealth of fabrics. There are the
always popular cottons, but you’ll
hardly recognize them from their
intricate weaves, color combina
tions and treatments. In
place of the usual prints, which are
still available, if you want them,
you’ll find a beautiful array of
plaids, checks and colorful stripes.
In the print line, be it cotton or
rayon, the print which seems to be ,
holding sway is the border print, i
Linens are extremely popular
and well used. You’ll have no dif-

' Columbia, Aug. 2.—Under a tenta- ;
live plan of the South Carolina high-
' way department, the number of high
way districts in the state would be
increased from four to seven. The
increase was approved this mom-h by!
the highway commission, and final
'plans will be submitted to tfte com
mission for approval upon comple
tion, according to S. N. Pearman,
.state highway engineer. The plans
could be put into effect within four
to six weeks after final approval, the,
state highway engineer stated.
At present the state is divided into
: four districts, the western, central,
i northeastern and southeastern Lau
rens county is in the western dis-,
trict, which has its district headquar
ters at Greenville. Under the propos
ed rearrangement, Laurens. New
berry, Saluda, Greenwood, Abbeville,
McCormick and Edgefield counties
would make up the second highway,
| district, which would have district
j headquarters at Greenwood.
Chief Highway Commissi oner C. R.
McMillan, in proposing the change to
the highway commission, stated that
the incerase to seven districts would
allow' the district engineers to cover
, their districts more completely and
would allow’ the department to oper
ate more -efficiently.

to fit your coloring; and, for those
of you who feel that prints are
the thing for summer, there are
numerous vat-dyed butcher linens.
Pure silk and silk shantung share
honors wdth the other materials
because they drape so softly and
lend themselves to the cool look.
Interest in Necklines
Highly Favored
Whether the dress be casual or
formal, you’ll see much neckline in
terest. These range from the large
and flattering shawl collars to the
deep dipping slashed neckline.
Shawl collars are face-framing
and lovely if you’re the tall drama
tic type who needs some horizontal
line at the shoulders to balance the
figure. Many of these collars are
used in two different ways: low to
bare the shoulders, or high to cover
them.
Most of the sundresses are strap
less this season, but they do come
with ties that are removable. The
bodice is boned for security. An-

other feature which most of us ap
preciate in the sundress is the fact
that many of the moderate and
slightly high priced ones come wdth
a brief jacket. These have a small
Peter Pan collar and three-quarter
fitted sleeves. If you purchase one

the tailored type of handbag.
They’re handsome Indeed for
many of the season’s favorite
fabrics. Thinner, smooth leath
ers and suede finishes are en
joying great popularity, the
latter being particularly popu
lar in light gray shades.
Patents, perennial spring and
summer favorites 1 *, are much in
demand, especially if the foot
wear is glistening patent.
Among the fashion scoops of
the season is tbis three-piece

to the blouse is the blue, grey

sbortie black gloves add to the
costume to make it a delight

of these in a lovely pure silk print,

Full Skirts
Are Popular
Many of the warm weather fash
ions sport full skirts. These are not
only flared as they were last year,
but they are also gored, flowing
neatly from a snug;hip line. Some
have unpressed pledts; others have
a flounce, a rather deep one, to
give them more fullness; and still
others are elaborately draped.
There is little change in skirt
length from spring fashions. The
approved length remains at 12 inch
es from the floor.
*
Even the tailored types of dress
es show a gentle flare or a sugges
tion of fullness. It’s only in the suits
that you have what can be called
a really slim skirt line.
Trend Toward Femininity
Still Making Strides
The feminine influences which
have been observed during winter
and spring are bound to show up
even more for summer fashions and
there’s nothing in the fashion spot
light which would contradict this
trend.
The camisole effect is new and
very womanly looking. It’s featured
in vestees and on the tops of back
less dresses. Equally feminine is
the use of embroidery trim on
pastel dresses of cotton and linen,
or the tiny tie belts or the high-
busted Empire silhouette.
Blouses for summer are captiva-
tingly feminine. When made of
sheers or nylon, they are bound to
have a fragile effect. Add to this
thpir froth of lace and ruffles and
pretty pastels and you have a pretty
good idea of the trend.
It’s a Season
Of Many Colors
You’re bound to be bewildered,
and even bewitched, by the colors
offered by summer fashions. If
you’re striking and dramatic, there
are strong, singing colors and vivid
sunny hues such as deep yellows,
vibrant crimsons, sharp emeralds,
violet and tangerines.
If you go in for a more pastel
look, choose the soft, watered
shades in the same colors like
pastel yellow, medium or pale lime
greens, lilac, party - like pink or
lady-like blue.
Lots of grays are making news,
too. They range from the misty to
the stormy tones. Brow’n and navy
are still popular. Always-desired
summer accents of white are much
favored, and then, too, you’ll have
no difficulty finding crisp, sleek
black.
Choose Cottons
For Play Clothes
As in other years, the denim
clothes have been gaining in popu
larity among the younger set who
want a durable, practical play
clothes material. With the populari
ty which gray has been gaining in
the fashion picture, this color has
been added to the faded blue which
has been available.
Clothes in either of those colors
may carry an accent of red or blue.

BISHOP-WALKER REXALL STORE
The Bishop-Walker Rexall Store, located at 206 West Main,
was established thirty years ago. and has been owned for the
past fourteen years by Messrs. L. E. Bishop and W. M. Walker.
Although they have seen many changes since they have
been in the drug store business—changes in the merchandise
handled by a drug store, Messrs. Bishop and Walker still con
sider their prescription business of first importance and still
give it the same careful, conscientious attention that thev al
ways have.
Bishop-Walker Rexall Store has kept pace with the times
and offers the people of this area the hundreds of items that
they have grown to expect a drug store to stock, but they are
still fundamentally a DRl’G store.
Bishop-Walker Rexall Store features exclusively Cara Nome
cosmetics, and they also have Vardley and Old Spice lines of
cosmetics as well as magazines and a complete fountain ser
vice. They believe in their slogan: “If It’s Rexall. It's Right.”
