Photographs of the girls in gay
prons, sportswear outfits, skirt and
blouse combinations were taken.
After the pictures were taken Miss
Shelby served ice cream and cake
to the girls. The girls enjoyed the
experience very much and were
only sorry that they couldn't keep
the attractive but easy-to-make
garments made by Miss Shelby.
The final upholstery school comes
March ID, Is and 16. While the
work is strenuous, the agents and
homemakers enjoy the project. The
chairs, all members of the class
say, would have been discarded. So
the saving and restoring is a real
gain to the homemaker.
Mrs. M. Tabler of Cedar Grove,
came each day to help Miss Turner
with the class. Mrs. Tabler has
developed this skill until she can
guide one through many difficult
problems. She is an outstanding
example of the spirit of Helpful
ness" Few busy women would
come year after year to assist each
group in the project as she has.
