Society notes feature Mrs. Alice Adams hosting and sharing poems on love, birthday parties for children, visitors, and local social events. The column catalogs many residents, entertaining acts, and outings across Athens, with guests from Orangeburg to Lexington and beyond.
The Banner presents a practical mix and match coat blouse with contrasting skirt fabrics using short remnants. It suggests options in blue moire charmeuse white crepe de chine and ratine with skirts in striped or white pique and a washable white corduroy travel piece. A one-piece frock for teens with Futurist accent prints and modest sizes completes the feature.
The piece discusses fashion as a century defining trend driven by necessity and vanity. It notes morning, afternoon, and evening wear as picturesque, with modern women matching clothes to surroundings. A model in figure 7887 is described in cotton crepe or bordered fabric, featuring a back crossing gown, over-blouse bodice, gathered guimpe, lace frill, and a bordered trimming.
The text describes dress patterns with elbow length sleeves, belts, and tunic sides, cut in five sizes 34 to 42. It notes fabric needs for size 36 and a separate girdle, plus a No 7906 convertible frock for children in four sizes 4 to 10 years, featuring a guimpe with no buttons.
An old advertisement touts Wilson’s Freckle Cream promising removal or fading of freckles with a 50 cent jar and a guaranteed restoration of natural beauty. It asserts safety and adds a mail option, plus related Fair Skin Soap and regional seller H.R. Palmer & Sons.
