First Lady of Louisiana Speaks
Out for Cotton and The South
INDUSTRY SHOWS NEW POR
TRAIT OF MR.S SAM JONES
—Memphis, Tenn.—Mrs. Sam Hous
ton Jones, wife of the Governor of
Louisiana, is the second of the South
land’s “First Ladies” to speak out
for cotton.
Continuing a series launched last
month by the National Cotton coun
cil and the Cotton Textile Institute
to tell Americans the story of cotton
and the cotton country, a full- - page
portrait of Mrs. Jones and her six-
year-old daughter, Jelks, will appear
in the April issue of Mademoiselle.
Last month, the cotton industry pre
sented a portrait of Mrs. Paul B.
Johnson, wift of the governor of
Mississippi, and her 16-year-old
daughter, Peggy, in Harper’s Bazaar.
To Picture Others
Before the completion of the ser
ies, the industry hopes to picture
the “First Lady” of each cotton pro
ducing state, showing at the same
time the charming backgrounds of
the various governors’ mansions and
the lovely looking, long-lasting
clothes which are being made of
cotton. Tennessee will be the third
state to be featured.
One of the basic ideas behind the
series is to discard the fields of white
and pickaninnies with baskets on
their heads which have been used to
‘glamorize’ the cotton industry and
cotton country. In their stead, the
cotton producing states are being
presented in terms of fine people and
lovely homes, and cotton itself is be
ing presented in terms of the sturdy,
stylish and all-purpose frocks which
it produces.
For the portrait, Mrs. Jones and
Jelks wore charming mother and
daughter costumes designed by Tina
Leser. The dirndl skirts were of
blue striped ticking while the blouses
were of white muslin, hand-painted
with flowers and trimmed with eye
let embroidery and black beading.
The portrait was made in the
chaming Governor’s mansion at Ba
tor. Rouge by Wynn Richards one of her
the nation’s outstanding .photograph
ers, who has been selected by the
cotton industry to make all of the
“First Lady” portraits.
Wearing cotton garments was
nothing new for either Mrs. Jones or
First Lady of Louisiana

nation’s need for conservation be

occasion and so easily restored to
their original freshness.”
