No Telephones
Has Attendant
Worries Too
A society editor without a tele-
phone is out of luck at iea.t a*at
is what was experienced Saturday.
. Just when everyone was elated
prospects for a new year be*
ing of club work new program*
interesting work resumation of
bridge ciuos and the excitement of
leaving for colleges and schools we
had to have the mislortune of a
hurricane.... and no phones.
Happy are we in the knowledge
that it could have Deen worse much
worse but regretful that m*ny were
left homeless without clothes fur-
niture and food all oi which is De-
lng supplied through reliei agencies
A hostess could hardly be so
nonchalant as to entertain when her
roof is laying in someone else’s
yard her furniture is soaked as
well as her clothes and everything
in the house is more or less topsy-
turvy.
We know oi one young mitren
who was to have entertained a
bridge club Friday but as she nan
only part of a house remaining and
has been iorced to seek shelter
elsewhere the club did not m^et.
Imagine a game of bridge by
candlelight! Somebody woulo be
sure to play the wrong card but we
couldn't say that it was their fault
if they trumped their partner's
ace could we?
Housewives are plenty busy clean-
ing house and making a brave at-
tempt to put things back in the
usual running order. It will -ake
time though and we certilnly ro
not envy them.
While scurrying around Saturday
morning for news we were some-
what cheered by tentative Mans lor
frerth coming events.
Prospective brides and recent
brides are to be feted during the
next few weeks. Mrs. Oscar Cham-
pion nee Burke will be named
honoree of a number of courtasiss
and friends of Miss Margaret Huf-
facker are planning several delight-
ful functions to honor her oeiure
her marriage to Argyle McAllen
Sept. 14.
Friends ol Mrs Pearo tcnaoa
sincerely regret to learn of hek
departure Sept. 18. for Mexico City
where she will reside with CoL
Chapa in the future. She assures us
though that “every chance I hav**.
I’ll return to Brownsville to see mr
friends.” Mildred as she is called
by her intimate friends will be
greatly missed.
Summer vacations are over ana
this week will see trains and motor
cars filled with members of the
youneer set bound for colleges.
With cooler weather not so very
far off. every one will be full of
vim and vigor ready to go piaces
and be doing things forgetting all
that has happemd this past w;.*lt
Swanky clothes which are being
displayed are attracting attention
and Interesting everyone with a
‘‘clothes conscience.”

I ON THE CAMPUS—IN STEP WITH STYLE I
Styles for- every college hour are appearing on the fall calendar. And
stadium fashions are not the least of these. Here Toby Wing and
Verna Hillie are ready to cheer from kickoff to touchdown. Miss Wing
wears brown and beige tweed with a natural lynx collar while Miss
Hillie’s choice is dark gray worsted with sleeves and collar in shaded
krimmer.
When the busy co-ed puts her books aside she may choose the tailored
ensemble shown on the left. It is brown and there’s rust colored
satin in the upper part of the frock and its girdle. The beret-like hat
has a feather tuft. The black velvet gown would be at home at a
sorority dance or an after-football affair. Bands of ermine are ef-
fective trimming. The yoke is of net.
