The president called the meeting to order with the devotional exercise. Roll call was answered with spring quotations. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap proved. Color in dress was the subject for the afternoon’s study. Mrs. Stallworth discussed several things to be taken into consideration when planning your wardrobe. The color of the costume must be considered. More important than fashion-is becomingness to face or figure. “Choose the color that suits, you, madam,” says Paul Poiret. If your eyes are your good point, take them for your center. If your hair or skin is more im portant, emphasize that. We must study and observe color to appre ciate it. Color gives life and feeling to dress. Good taste is never char acterized by gaudy display. Harmony means agreement. Ju6t as the members of a family must agree to live happily together, so must all the colors in the costume live happily together to produce harmony. Texture should be taken into consideration. A soft texture is more becoming to a stout person than a thin one. The mature wo man should avoid bright colors in large areas because they rob her of her coloring and dignity. Always study to bring out your best points Mrs. Stallworth displayed severa pieces of children’s clothing which were helpful to the mothers, contest on “Hunting Togs” was en joyed by all. • The hostess served a delicious sweet course.
