Fine Furs Make Fine Window Displays
Even If It Is 100 in the Shade the Femmes Gaze Longingly — Ensembles, Too —
Wedding Bells — The Songs They’re Humming — Flowers By Airplane
Fall clothes are coming in.
Sprinklings of dark dresses and
coats with big fur collars have
been appearing in displays of the
newest things all week. Coming
at the height of the summer’s
heat, it might seem to the un
initiated that such things would
have little appeal; no one but a
mere man would be likely to have
such a mistaken idea, however, and
few men who have acquired any
knowledge of the whimsies of the
feminine soul. As if any woman
living could resist the charm of
luxurious fur, even though the
thermometer stood at 110!
The love of furs must have be
come firmly implanted in the fe
male of the species back in the
days when the fashionable elite
of Cave Center annexed the finest
saber toothed tiger skin to en
hance her beauty in the eyes of
her warlike spouse. Arrayed in
that most gorgeous of feminine
trappings, a really good fur, not
a woman in the world but feels
beautiful, alluring, adequate and
self-confident in herself and her
charm. Long haired, lovely fox,
wolf, the chic of caracul—but we
grow lyrical.
Anyway, even a hint of fall
quickens one's blood, and brings
an imaginary tang of the season
to the nostrils. Cool, brisk air,
football, hunting, picnics in star
lit darkness around a campfire.
It’s a real season of beings, when
anything might happen, and each
day is a new possibility of adven
ture. School, new scenes, new oc
cupations for the youngsters,
and for we older ones, well,
quien sabe?
Think we will go down this
afternoon and start that dollar
down and dollar-a-week coat
proposition. Anything might hap
pen.
• * *
Speaking of clothes, too. there
are just a lot of those dark geor
gette ensembles which are so good
for late vacationers to travel in,
and which will still be good for
any number of occasions through
out the fall here. And do you
know of a combination which is
cooler and fresher looking than
navy blue with the popular dots?

One of the most interesting
social events of July is the wed
ding of Miss Vera Letzerich. of
Harlingen , to Mr. L. R. Baker,
which takes place Sunday morn
ing, at nine o’clock, at the Bap
tist church. Miss Letzerich is the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. W.
Letzerich, and has been quite
popular in Valley society. Since
the announcement of the engage
ment, Miss Letzerich has been
honored with a number of inter
esting social affairs. She was com
plimented by her aunt, Mrs. H. D.
Seago with a pretty bridge party
here during the past week, besides
several affairs in Harlingen. Mr.
Baker is a well known business
man of Harlingen.
