BY KAY LAWRENCE
i Chances are that your woman
with good taste in clothing —
tense of the right thing to wear
an the right occasion, and so
forth — will look well-groomed,
too. But it never hurts to jog
one’s consciousness on the sub-
ject One might ask oneself the
question: Does everything look
its best, from my hair to my toes?
For instance, the hair. Is it
clean, or did you, even though
you knew it needed washing, feel
too tired to do the job?. If it’s the
kind of hair, that needs setting,
did you do. that, or decide last
night to finesse it just this once,
because you weren’t doing “any-
thing special” today? » .
Take your eyebrows. If you
pluck them, did you do a good job
or a messy one. If you wear eye
makeup, is it the right kind for
you, and for the time of day,
and is there too much?
How about your underwear?
And ikafety pins where a needle
and thread should ha^e done the
job? Any dinginess that a little
extra trouble at washing could
aolye? Any sloppy shoulder straps
peeping out from a sleeveless
dress? You won’t feel well-groom-
ed unless you can give yourself
a clear bill on these questions.
Then, there are more points:
jf your dress has light collar and
cuffs, or you’re wearing a white
blouse; are there any black marks
no matter how faint, at collar or
cuff? That will never do. Nor
will the spot of something or
other you may have got on your
skirt and forgotten to remove.
Nor will a crooked hemline, or
a seam ripping at a sleeve, or a
ripped-loose belt holder.
A stocking with a run or a
crooked seam is just about un-
forgivable. So is a down-at-the-
heel shoe, or an unpolished shoe.
One’s heels and elbows tend to
get rough and gritty. Do some-
thing about it Soap and water are
ideal.
All this may seem to add up to
an awful lot of bother. But it
also adds up, if handled properly
to a well-groomed woman.

Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence France
were in Austin Sunday to take

Mr. and Mrs. John Humphries,

Mrs. Addle McCgpn and Mrs.

Today's beauty hint is: Get
enough sleep. Excitement or
emergencies can keep one going
on a short ration of sleep for a
certain length of time. But event
ually it tells in shadows under
the eyes and a sort of strained
look about the face.
Both New York and Hollywood
are showing these days that they
are not completely in awe of
Paris. For fashion shows on the
two coasts show plenty of waists
Where waists normally are and
a considerable scorn of the “che-
mise” look—or slack look, which-
Loper — apparently no man to
dodge a controversy or oven
women's wrath — also has some
comments to offer on cheap ver-
sus expensive dresses. He shows a
dress for $39,95 and one for
$3,995. And he declares: .
I must honestly admit that the
$39.96 dress is just as good a buy
as the expensive one. The same
thought, same workmanship, often
the same materials, go into the
cheaper one. It's just a matter
of one being the only one of its
design and the cheaper one being
one of a thousand.
One final word from Loper:
Any dress, whether it costs $39.96
or $5,000, should last a woman
at least 5 years.
Designer Sophie In New York
is another of those who is keep-
ing recognisable waistlines this
fall despite the Paris trend. A
pulled-in waist, rounded hip and
draped bodice are features of
items in her collection. She has
an evening dress, too, that is
spiral of soft, sheer fabric draped
around the body in a manner most
flattering to the right kind of
curves.
Favorite colors for Sophie, by
the way, are winter blue and
brown. And black mink is one of
her favorite trimmings.
What'i for Dinner
That nagging question keeps
popping up: What’s for dinner to-
night? Well, how about stuffed
peppers? If you’re coping with a
leftover roast of beef, and have
a meat grinder, go to work on it
Otherwise, you might buy ground
chuck for these peppers.
Parboil the peppers. Brown the
meat,. onions, such spices es you
may choose, and chopped mush-
rooms in a skillet, and add enough
chile sauce or tomatoe juice, and
a bit of Worcestershire, to make
it thoroughly moist. Stuff it in
your peppers. If you have any
stuffing left over — or you may
plan to do it deliberately — mix
it with plenty of tomato juice and
pour it over the peppers so they’ll
bake in it. To go with this dish,
try summer squash, mashed pota-
toes and a dessert of vanilla ice
cream with crushed peaches.
Hints for Homemakers
A bouquet of flowers can do a
lot to brighten up a room. Just
a few nasturtiums in a bowl on
a coffee table, or one lovely rose
with its own leaves around it,
can be delightful to look at

Work will start this week on
construction of a new supermark-

east side of Gilmer Street south
of the L. & A. Railroad tracks.
Plans for the latest of Sulphur

of the store.

ing the building.
Completely new, modern type
fixtures will be installed in the
interior of the store. The floor
plan calls for 50 feet of refrig-
erated space for meats, 27 feet
for frozen foods, 40 feet for pro-
duce and 25 feet for dairy prod-
ucts. The store will be entirely air
conditioned.
The building will be situated to-
ward the rear and the southeast
side of the property. A 73-car
parking area will be constructed
at the front end of the north side
of the building. Three entrances
will be arranged from Gilmer
Street, with additional access
routes from the new street on the
north side to accommodate traf-
fic coming from Oak Avenue.
January Opening Seen
Plans call for the opening of
the new store around the first of
the year. Ragsdale & Smith of
Greenville are the architects for
the project. Selection of a con-
tractor has not yet been complet-
ed.
Bevis said present plans are to
continue operation of the down-
town Bevis Food Store in connec-
tion with the new establishment.
He emphasized that there will
be no change in store operating
policies with the opening of the
new supermarket.
“The people of Sulphur Springs
and Hopkins County have been
goad to me,” he declared. “We
have always tried to make our
customers feel that this is their
store. There will be no change in
our policy of doing business in
any phase. We feel we will have
a better place for people to shop
and more space in which to shop.

occupied by the Bailey Abstract
Company on Jefferson Street.
With the depression at hand,
the first few years were extrem-
ly lean ones for Mr. Bevis and his
partner, Newt Owens, who is now
serving as county judge here.
“The going was very rough for
five years, but there wasn’t a
year in which we didn’t manage
to come out just a little ahead,"
Bevis recalled.
The growth process started in
1936, when the store moved far-
ther east on Jefferson to the
building now occupied by the O.
D. Allen Grocery. It later expand-
ed to take in the adjoining build-
ing now housing the law firm of
Ramey & Ramey.
Owens left the business tem-
porarily in 1938 and returned two
years later. In January, 1942, the
store was moved to its present lo-
cation on the south side of the
square.
Bevis purchased Owens’ inter-
stores as there are anywhere in
the land, and that is the kind of
food store we are going to have.”
Started in 1931
The new expansion is the latest
move in a long record of progress
by the Bevis firm, which was
started in March, 1931, as a tiny
grocery store in the building now
Bevis Food Store.
Mr. and Mrs. Bevis have one
son, John W. Bevis, who is 16
years old. lie has been working
around the store for several years
and already is familiar with most
aspects of the operation. Mrs.
Bevis has been assisting in the
office since 1953.
