Bump ass have returned from Niagara Harper’s Bazaar presents, in its August issue, the College Girl of 1939, alive in all her vitality, susceptible to the fash ion urge, eager to try out any new fad, desirous of heighten ing her individuality. What she’ll wear this fall on the campus, for a dinner date or on a week-end, Harper’s Bazaar previews: THE COLLEGE GIRL OF 1939 SHE has changed from the girl you knew a few years back. She definitely feels the fashion urge. She is neater, more individual, and wears better looking and better fitting clothes. She goes in for new-hair-dos, she loves well-cut, well-made tweeds, she prefers one or two really good date-dresses to a lot of variety in cheaper ones. She believes in the simple basic dress of wool or of crepe. She spreads her individuality in the way she wears her hair, in what she puts on her feet, in her belts, her jackets and her mittens. This year in the East she went in for dirndls day and night, for wooden Dutch shoes, pigtails, cummerbunds, sou’- westers, hair-bows, rolled-up slacks, cowboy hats and knee-boots in the rain. In the West they rushed crew hats, huaraches, coolies (loose shirts worn over skirts) and shell neck laces. By this fall there will be a flock of new fads—a new dress to replace the dirndl, new jackets, new socks, new shoes, new coats with bigger pockets and hoods. As to the basic things for campus wear, every college girl agrees upon a good practical working wardrobe. The emphasis on dressier clothes varies with each college. For classes and on campus she needs plenty of cotton dresses in the early fall and late spring, at least four or five sim ple wool dresses, and an equal num ber of crepe dresses which she can wear when she dresses for dinner or goes away on a week-end. She likes knitted elastic waists in her dresses. She wants plenty of sweaters — “more than your mother thinks you need,” to quote a college girl. She likes tailored silk blouses to wear under them or alone and a number of tweed skirts in solid colors, in checks, and in plaids. She prefers them gored wide or pleated full. She likes loads of jackets for variety, i Good tweed ones, suedes, suedes with knitted sleeves, Parkas in the winter, flannel blazers in the spring and corduroy beer jackets with big pockets. Slacks are the coming thing. You can count the campuses [ on one hand where they are still I forbidden. Gray flannel slacks and flannels in pastel pin-stripes are Mrs. S. B. Winstead is spend ing this week in Norfolk, Va., i with her mother and father. Mrs N. S. Thompson is spend ing several days in Henderson ville with her daughter, Mrs. Bernard Crowell. A. P. Patterson of Reidsville was a Roxboro visitor Friday. Mrs. Sidney O’Briant and chil dren left Saturday morning for High Point, N. C. where they will visit for some time. o Men do not realise how great a revenue economy is.” Cicero. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. both very good. Ski clothes are worn all winter long. Ski boots and ski jacket are worn to classes on cold wet days for protection and warmth. In the East about'eighty percent of the girls wear fur coats. Leopard, skunk, beaver and dyed muskrat lead the list. They also like camel’s hair coats, wool gabardine, long coats of Byrd cloth, tweeds lined with bright colors and waterproofed. Also plaids and checks. They ask for plenty of pockets, slip backs, hoods for winter and driving in open cars. They are unanimous on the subject of reversibles and plain tweed coats, reefer or swagger style. For dress, they like coats trimmed with fur and suits with fitted coats of their own. j When they dress for a big week end they like a more formal dress in velvet or in crepe for tea dancing and for dinner. They need two or three of these. For evening they like dresses with jackets, and dresses with little sleeves. Velvet is a favor ite and so is taffeta cut very bouf fant. They also like crepe, jersey and satin. At most colleges four to six are enough, at the universities sev eral more formal dresses are needed and also two or three dinner dresses. In the East blue jeans and slacks are worn for hiking, shorts for ten nis and sometime for bicycling. Cu lottes are more popular in the West. Bandannas tied in new ways are still widespread, and so are bright an gora socks and angora mittens. In the dormitory they specify full skirted housecoats to lounge and breakfast in on Sunday. Also, bath robes with full skirts, broadcloth pajamas with legs rolled up and under-panties witn elastic tops and fitted legs. “Wearable” Fall Hats Demanded By Women New York—Women would like to be supplied with “wearable” hats for fall, Alan A.

This question is asked by numerous housewives, especially during busy seasons. If floors are new or are not worn too deeply in the grain of the wood the boiled linseed oil finish is the answer. It is inex pensive, easily applied, does not wear off in patches and requires no hard work after it is once ap plied correctly. Directions for this finish may be obtained from Six Reasons For Attending The National Tobacco Festival a b—i I H Down in Dixie folks are mighty proud of two things in par. ticular: their fine tobaeeo and their beautiful girts. When Autum rolls around this fair sample will he land in the mammoth dramatic production “TOBACAROMA,” which wiU be a major feature of the annual National Tobaeeo Festival at South Boston, Yiiginio, on Septcmbar 7 and 8. ★ FASHION PREVIEW ★ SjHesKw |fm| <.

The bed jacket matches. the Home Agents office upon re quest. Here is something which may be done for all floors which have been scrubbed until the splinters rise up in revo't. This is called “Scrubless Floor Mixture”, and the recipe may be obtained from the Home Agent’s office upon re- quest. It, too, is inexpensive, easi ly applied, durable, and particul arly effective for rooms where there is a great deal traffic in the same path. Beth of these finishes require no scrubbing, this will save backs. Neither of these is oily. The prevents their catching dust. A j dry mop will clean them very successfully, generally speaking. A good time to fix floors is new, when all members of the family are outside working all day. There is ample time for the finish to dry thoroughly between each coat, usually three coats are sufficient. n Mrs. O’Briant Entertains Class Mrs. Sidney O’Briant was host ess Saturday afternoon to the Primary class of the Warren’s Grove Sunday School, and other invited guests.
