Magruder's 94 9 Ml Maid of Cotton Made-of -Cotton Wardrobe Clicks By Marjorie Taylor Rip Van Department of Agriculture has awakened to the fact that something can be done about the cotton surplus. In turn. Secretary Wallace and his buddies, including the National Cotton Council of America, are endeavoring to awaken the Sleeping Beauty of American feminine reaction to accept their viewpoint.

Tip-top fashions designed by Kentucky's Mary Lewis, who now has her own exclusive Fifth Avenue shop in New York. Shoes Are Cotton And that's not all.

Mary Nell's shoes are cotton woven fabrics; her gloves, cotton; her hats, cotton; her hosiery, cotton mesh; even the slips and dainty underwear are exclusively cotton.
