Fashion Revue
Well Received
The "Fashion Revue” staged at
the Viccar Theatre Friday night i
was well received by a large audi
ence who enjoyed the glimpses
into the past through the fashions
of yesteryear and were delighted
with the new spring and summer
creations modeled.
The "Revue,” sponsored by the
local Woman's Club, was present
ed in two parts, the modeling of
fashions worn through previous
yewrs dating back to IS63 and the
showing of this season’s newest
styles.

Mary Carstarphen's paternal
grandmother m 1868 and modeled
by Mrs. Herbert Whitley. Fed

Mrs. Urbin Rogers. Miss Marjorie

The next group was gowns worn

Outstanding among the many

sixty years or more. Removing
the duster she effectively modeled
a daring dark blue wool bathing
suit with . bloomers to match,
worn ori,$nally at Wrightsville

Mrs. Muse was attired in a black

semi-shawl collar and featuring
side slashes. Underneath the
model wore a. street length dark
blue chiffon dress with beaded
design. The waistline (or rather
no waistline) of this number was
a sensation when worn by Mrs.
Sue Fowden in 1912. Mrs. George

brown suite, blouse, hat and bag
worn by a relatives of Mrs. H. L.
