The first feeling of fall or any
new season starts with accessories.
They spark old end-of-season ward
robes. set the scene for the new,
and keep all-day costumes looking
right around the clock.
According to Miss Mary Em Lee,
clothing specialist for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service, to
make fashion magic, accessories
must fit the figure.
The petite figure takes to perky
hats, dainty jewelry, small scale
Itags and umbrellas. She uses her
accessories to give an illusion of
added height.
More freedom in choosing acccs
aorics is permitted the average fig
ure. They fully express her per
aonality or they match her mood of
the moment. She may try eye
deceiving tricks to appear taller
or shorter.
Fashion on the grand scale is
diaplayed by the tall figure. She
wears bold, dramatic jewelry, car
riea elegant oversize bags. To ap
pear shorter, she wears attention
getters near the waist such as
heavy bracelets, flowers or pin on
belt, a glitter pin on elongated ev
ening bag.
Miss Lee advises to concentrate
on a few good pieces to be enjoyed
for many wearings. Remember
that accessories must harmonize?

Tree Care Bulletin
Man's lack of understanding of
fundamental principles of tree wel
fare, or his indifference in apply
ing what knowledge he has, re
sults in much avoidable injury to
trees, says R. S. Douglass, forestry
specialist for the N. C. Agricul
tural Extension Service.
Trees are often damaged by
burning trash too close beneath
them, Douglass added. Cars dam
age many trees, especially in
towns. Children often injure shade
trees with a hatchet or knife. Con
tractors very often cause consider
able damage to trees near new
construction.
Ironical as it may seem, he con
tinued, many of the injuries that
man inflicts on trees are brought
about by his misguided efforts to
improve them. Careless pruning
provides many such examples. Lop
ping off large limbs unnecessarily
often spoils the shape of a tree
and leaves large wounds that take
years to heal.
