Mrs. Felix Real, Jr. Kerrville was the gracious commentator for the Hill Country Chapter of the Auxiliary to the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association Style Show and luncheon In the ballroom in the Blue Bonnet Ho tel, Kerrville, on Monday at one o'clock. It was attended by an overflow crowd of ladies In the Hill Country. Mrs. Real cleverly told of the 100 per cent American wool and mohair fabrics fashioned into ‘I want one’ coats, suits and dresses modlld against a background of brightly sprayed green and red post oak and five oak trees and gilded cactus reminding that these are 'live’ products, the go’ iden and diamond fleeces, the miracle of nature, perfected by man. Woo! and mohair materials have beauty as well as durability and strength and Mrs. Real gave many a ‘good’ plug for the ma terials which promote the Indus try of the association. Kendall-Hodges showed seven garments which, as one spectator remarked, were modeled by some mighty good looking ladies. Mod eling were: Mrs. Werner Henke, a full-length pyramid gray and red Gaynes coat; Miss Waldean McDougall, a three - quarter length Gaynes coat with large boxy sleeves, In rose, a topper type; Mrs. Jack Lawrence, a Printzess suit in russet shad ; Miss McDougall, a purple sheen gabardine Printzess suit; Mrs. Roy Henke, a brown Miroflacke Gaynes suit; Mrs. Werner Henke, a gray wool men’s-wear flannel Gaynes sult. Miss McNeugall also modeled a gray striped Hobby dress with three-quarter push-up sleeves and Mrs. Roy Henke, a 2-piece green jersey West Way Miss (as adver tised In Seventeen). For casual wear, Mrs. Jack Lawrence modeled a gold dress, an American Golfer, with raglan sleeves. Among the 32 ranch women and girls who showed the gar ments to good advantage were Miss Ola Maertz, Mrs. J. R. Peril, and Zane Clell Parker, of Harper; also Mrs. John Crouch of Fredericksburg and Comfort; and Miss Margaret Ann Orr, Ber tram, the Mohair Queen. Others were from Boerne, Center Point, Comfort, Junction, Rocksprings, Bandera and Divide. Linda and Elma Real and Billy Strohacker modeled for the very young. Several garments shown were made especially for the organiza tion to be shown for the Miss Wool Contest to be held in San Angelo on Nov. 10-12. During the show Carol Ann Dittmar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Dittmar of Harper, the Bo-Peep at the recent Cor riedale Show entertained with a tap dance with Miss Waldean Mc Dougall at the piano. Miss Jane Ann McCall showed much talent when, as typical ranch girl with accordion, she sang ‘I Never See Maggie Alone’ and ‘I’m Going Back to Where I Come From.’ Miss Eda Mae Montell, Kerr ville, is president of the chapter and Mrs. Louis Strohacker was general chairman of the show. Fashion conscious ladies num bering some 250 went home with hints and tips and plans for a new fall and winter wardrobe, including accessories.
