PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1942 Society and CLUB NOT E S IS THIS YOU? The two persons described in the Sun last week were Miss Elizabeth Harmon and Rev. J. B. Harman. This week our first description is of a lady seen at church Sunday wearing a brown dress, tan and brown shoes, brown bag and brown globes. Her hat was of a light tan or cream with brown trimming. She was also wearing a grey tweed coat. She has light brown hair and blue eyes. The second description is of a gentleman your scribe was talking to Monday afternoon. He said that he was so busy making out income tax blanks for folks that he didn’t have time to do anything else. He was wearing a dark gray suit with faint lavender or purple stripes in it, a light shirt with a dark stripe and a green tie and tan shoes. He has white hair, blue eyes and wears glasses with small dark rims. If either of the above descrip tions could be you, come by the Sun office and receive your ticket which entitles you to a quart of delicious ice cream from Stokes’ drug store, compliments of Stokes’ and The Sun.

Not knowing very much about colors etc. for spring, I thought Mrs. E. A. Carpenter could give me some information on the subject, and she did, in fact she toid me so much I don’t know whether I’ll remember it all to pass on to you or not, but here goes a try, anyway. When asked about suits, she said, “Suits, suits, and more suits is the fashion cry for spring of ’42”, and repititious as it may sound they are headed for a record-breaking success, because there is a suit de signed for every occasion, for every hour of these busy days and nights. Suits for defense work, suits for business wear, suits for afternoon and “dress” wear in the most beau tiful colors ever. There are many silhouettes, the longer jacket com ing well down over the hips is ex pected to roll up the largest vol ume. Precise tailoring but not man-tailoring . . . always with some softing influence characterizes all suits, both casual and dressmaker.” Coats will naturally be influenced by the wide suit influence and will accordingly give some of its volume over to suits. In dressmaker coats and suits, black is first in coats followed by navy, with navy first in suits fol lowed by black, then blues, beige and brown. Spring sweaters styles are as varied as blouses to wear with suits. And to quote Mrs. Carpen ter, “There is a sweater for every figure, to accessorize with tweed suits, or evening skirts.” Now what about costume jew elry? You’ll love it, and by the way you won’t have any trouble with big dates, little dates or all the in-between dates for they are taken care of in the spring calendar of accessories. There are colorful pickups in practically endless var ieties. The simpliest costume can be accessorized to quick-change from streamlined efficiency to glit tering glamour to keep pace with accelerated activities, with this purposeful new spring costume jewelry, in wood, shells, vegetables, cord necklaces with flower front drapes made of looped cord, with glittery glass leaves, ear rings to Notice! I am taking a limited number of pupils for lessons in Expression For particulars see me at 1105 Fair street or Phone 205. Mrs. J. Edwin Stokes match, and soft pastels in natural flower color, watermelon sheds combined with plastics, have been cleverly contrived to form daisy and sunflower motif. Also other native-looking jewelry. And don’t forget the importance of ifadget-y pins for lapels as well as the finer jeweled sprays and bowknots. Mrs. Carpenter says that hand bags and gloves also play a very important roll in spring styling, and by-the-way gloves are very flag minded and divide the color hon ors between red, white and blue— red to ignite dark costumes, white to war with everything, and blue true to navy. Beige tones feature importantly in spring glove collec tions, in soft neutral tones that will blend with everything and are par ticularly elegant when merged with neutral background colors for dra matic prints that need no color em phasis in accessories. Handbags ip snakeskins are leading a colorful life for spring in everything from subtle beige to dynamic bright shades, in big, bold handbags in perfect step with co-ordinates shoe fashions dyed-to-match. Other bags in patent, navy, calf, turftan cape and bermuda beige. The major handbag silhoutte is still the soft underarm silhouette however, the over the shoulder strap bag in creases in importance this spring. Your hat problem will be easily solved, because they are tailored felts with large brims and are flat tering to most women. They are smart-looking with either suits or dresses, which make them a good choice for a spring hat. Of course, there are many styles in large brim med hats from which to choose, in cluding profiles, or cavalier type, picture hat, bonnet or roll-back. If you are interested in an all around hat, one that you can wear most anytime and anywhere—a good hat is one with the kind of brim which may be adjusted in various ways for different times. “Gone are the days whe one pair of stockings suffice for every need,” says Mrs. Carpenter. Today’s well dressed, busy women and girls have an entire stocking wardrobe, in nylon for dress, mesh or lisle for country and work-a-day, and heav ier clocked and checked for sportswear. Especially smart with feminine after-five fashions are fine mesh stockings in nylon or lisle for street and dress wear. Also popular is the “nude” stockings made without a seam to give a bare-legged effect. It may be worn with a dressier type shoe as well as the play shoe. For later spring and summer dark sheers will again come to the fore front ... I see Mrs. Carpenter glancing at a customer who is wait ing for her, so your soc. ed. had bet ter make her exit and interview Mrs. Carpenter another time about summer styles. FRANCES EUGENIA WISE Lieut, and Mrs. W. R. “Bill” Wise of Charleston are receiving congrat ulations over the birth of a daugh ter," Frances Eugenia, bom at the Stark General hospital Friday, March 13. Lieut.

March 12.—A nation wide program to help solve the farm labor shortage by training thousands of farm .women and farm girls as tractor and other farm machine operators has been launch ed by the International Harvester company through the cooperation of its dealer organization, Fowler McCormick, president of the com pany, announced today. Letters and descriptive literature have been sent to the Harvester company’s 6,500 farm equipment dealers in the United States, out lining the program for training “Tractorettes,” and asking the dealers to help. Already many dealers have volunteered to con duct the training courses. The plan calls for the training of farm women to be carried on by each dealer in his local community, either in his place of business or some other suitable location. Deal ers will select women for the train ing course on the basis of qualifi cation and need. Training for those selected will be free. Special emphasis is placed on safety in the course of instruction. All Tractorettes will be taught the safe way to do everything about a tractor and other farm machines. To assist the dealers in the Trac torette training program, the com pany has prepared a special man ual outlining the instruction to be given, and suggesting classroom and field procedure. It will also fur nish slide films, special pamphlets, mechanical diagrams, service book lets, and other material to aid in the work. A farm woman or farm girl who complets the “Tractorette” train ing program will not only know how to run a tractor but will also have basic training in repairing and servicing the machine, in diagnos ing mechanical trouble, and in the proper attachment and setting up of the principal implements used with tractors, particularly plows. The Tractorette training program is the second war emergency educa tional program undertaken by the Harvester Company and its dealers. For the last year approximately 2,- 500 tractor dealers, in cooperation with vocational agricultural high schools throughout the country, have been participating in an “out- of-school-youth training program," which has taught farm boys truck and tractor mechanics and farm machine maintenance and opera tion.
