HOME ECONOMICS CLASS SEW
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

’ THE PEOPLE WHO SELL IT fOR LESS*
Members of the Clothing 2 class of
the high school Home Economics de-
partment have been sewing for the
past three weeks for the poorer chil-
dren in the grammar grades. Friday
morning during chapel iferjiod, the
garments they have made were shown
and some were modeled by the chil-
dren for whom they were made. Other
small girls of the grammar grades
were also used as models for styling
the dresses. Gladys Farris acted as
master of ceremonies for the showing.
A number of visitors were present and
' the entire assembly was well pleased
with the results that the girls have
obtained in this project under, the
guidance of their teacher, Miss Eliza-
beth Tompkins. ^
Much of the materials used in the
dresses were donated to the welfare
work and Miss Tompkins conceived
the idea of cutting down the garments
and making them into well fitted dres-
ses for the children. Each two girls
then chose a child who needed cloth-
ing and made several little dresses
for her. In some instances, the girls
bought shoes and hqse for their "ward”
as well as underclothing and hats.
The dresses are very cleverly fash-
ioned and are neatly sewed. Ea^h
little girl will have several pretty
new dresses and the girls are to be
complimented and highly praised for
their efforts along this line. They
have worked hard and the only reward
they want is congratulations and kind
words for their labor and this they
have already received.
The girls making these garments
were: Doris Sewell, Laffell Everett,
Zudora Smithwick, Mildred Seay, Wil-
ma Palmer, Mildred Butts, Maud
Edens, Eva Virginia Harris, Mildred
Romans, Agnes Patterson, Vesta Sew-
ell, Dorothy Smith, Florence Moses,
Rotha Carroll, Ethel Mae Broadway,
Jewel Dean McCrea, Thom Alice Simp-
kins, Jessie Commer, Evely Kurkyn-
doll, Nelda Fae Watson, Kathryn Field
and Ruth Williams.
A message has been received here
of the death Thursday evening, March
19, of Mrs. T. J. Herring at Minter
City, Miss. Mrs. Herring was known
in Lampasas as Miss Florence Moore
and many will remember her visits
here with her cousins, Mrs. J. C.
Ramsey and Mrs. Hosea Bailey when
a young lady. She possessed a voice
of rare beauty and lent her talent
upon past occasions in Lampasas.

TONIGHT
Constance Bennett in
“THREE FACES EAST”
With Eric Von Stroheim
“Interesting and entertaining with
many suspensive moments,” says Pete
Harrison the foremost critic on mo-
tion pictures in the United States.
It is in fact one of the year’s out-
standing productions with two su-
preme artists—Constance Bennett and
Eric Von Stroheim.
The heroine, an English spy, is
working with the German spy. Her
intentions are to get ahead of the
German spy system. Does she do it?
Does she sacrifice love for the man
she Joves for duty to her country?
Never before such a thrilling pic-
ture. It will hold you spellbound.
You must not miss it.
