By ANN McDUFFIE
Tribune Fashion Editor
It’s hard to believe that the
smartly dressed and sophisticated
Mrs. Richard A. Bagby majored in
physical education. But she did so
for three and a half yerrs at
Brenau.
Then, this native of Cumming,
Ga., says, the best thing that ever
happened to her occurred. While
visiting her sister in Temple, Texas,
she met a young intern, Richard
Bagby. Three months later the
former Frances Otwell and Dr.
Bagby were married.
By that time he was in ‘he Navy,
attached to the Marine Corps. They
lived in California where her life
time training on the weekly news
paper owned by her father was an
asset for the job she took as so
ciety editor on Encinitas Coast
Dispatch. But after three months
he was sent to Hawaii and she re
turned to Cumming.
For the first time in her life,
Frances Bagby was unhappy. Being
of independent nature, she decided
to do something about that and de
termined to join her husband as
soon as possible. She went back to
Brenau, this time with a teacher’s
degree as her goal. She was the
only person eligible for a degree
at the end of the Summer session
and was graduated in private exer
cises, planned by the school like
ceremonies for an entire class.
AFTER MUCH badgering of
steamship and air lines—Frances
Bagby would not wait for Navy
orders she arrived in Hawaii and
soon began teaching a first grade
class of Japanese, Filipino, Portu
guese and Chinese-Hawaiian chil
dren at a plantation school on Maui
Island. She loved every minute of
it. Mrs. Bagby and her husband
sometimes took a few of the young
sters to the beach.
Frances Bagby likes to remem
ber that Hawaii is interested in its
teachers. Her salary was 5350 a
month and that was 12 years ago.
I After moving to Tampa, she re
ceived a teacher’s retirement check
for SSO.
She no longer teachers but still
is interested in education because
of her three children, Richard, Jr.,
10. Priscilla, 7, and Cynthia, 4. Mrs.
Bagby believes that every mother
owes at least one year per child
to PTA work, and is secretary to
Mitchell PTA. She also takes her
turn as a Cub Scout den mother.
But Frances Bagby is not a club
woman because she "dislikes long
drawn out meetings that don’t ac
complish anything.’’ However, she
is an active member of Parkland
Garden Circle, Auxiliary to Hills
borough County Medical Associa-
I Hon, co-chairman of her Palma
| Cele Presbyterian Church circle,
i prize chairman for Palma Ceia
Women’s Golf Association and she
enjoys attending gathering of two
| sewing circles whose members are
5 her closest friends. These groups
often have supper meetings so their
j husbands, too, can attend.
BECAUSE DANCING is Frances
Bagby’s favorite diversion, she and
Dr. Bagby are members of a dance
club. Winterset, which gives at
least eight dances each year. She
also loves music, except for rock
and roll and hill billy, which are
not music in her opinion.
People are Frances Bagby’s
greatest interest. She likes to work
on community fund raising drives
because she gets to talk to and
know more persons. She has limit
less curiosity, and wonders what
they’re doing and what they’re
thinking.
Mrs. Bagby also is a true out
door girl. She loves everything un
der the sun physical exertion, or
relaxing. She likes gardening, all
sports, including shuffleboard and
ping-pong and she loves to play
baseball with the neighborhood chil
dren. (There are 42 on her block.)
Mrs. Bagby always has some
project. For the past year this has
been golf, one sport she had not
tried before. Now she plays on the
average of two or three times a
week, riding around Palma Ceia
course in her own cart. Her lowest
score to date is 98.
The Bagbys also enjoy family
projects and activities. One family
project was the brick terrace they
built in their back yard. They mix
ed ther own mortar and Frances
Bagby became an accomplished
bricklayer.
They also enjoy sailing, a pleas
ure they can pursue on Oyncilia,
Dr. Bagby's new 28 foot craft, with
auxiliary motor that came from
Sweden. The name, of course, was
derived from the Bagby daughters’
names. Both her husband and son
are excellent sailors. Mrs. Bagby
Isays, but she and her daughters
; are still trying to learn on week
-ends. Dr. and Mrs. Bagbv often
| entertain friends aboard Cyncilla.
On the last full moon, they took
three or four couples out for din
ner on the boat on two successive
nights. Young Richard’s last birth
day party, complete with cake and
! candles, was given on the boat.
FLOWKK ARRANGING is anoth
ier of Mrs. Bagby’s interests. Also
! cooking, especially desserts which
are her favorite course. She olans
! meals around desserts. For ex
ample, if she has lemon pie. fish
|is her main course.
Interior decoration is another of
| her interests. Mrs. Bagby like* wnti
rjues hut thinks they are not pract
ical. The Bagby home is furnished
with antiques, mostly from Dr.
Bagby’s family, and reproductions.
The five-generation-old cradle used
by Dr. Bagby and his children has
been converted by Mrs. Bagnv into
a table and magazine holder for
the living room where rose velvet
and corduroy is used for upholstery
on Victorian pieces. Yellow and
turquoise predominate in the pan
eled family room furnished in
Early American manner.
She does not object to cleaning
house and she never goes to bed
before straightening up. Getting up
to find the house in disarray makes
Mrs. .Bagby feel depressed.
Mrs. Bagby is enthusiastic about
many other things. She wishes she
had nine lives to do all she would
like to do. Her secret ambition is
to be a pharmacist and to own a
drug store which she would plan i
primarily as a place for teen-agers
to congregate. She also would have :
a complete line of good cosmetics, i
This is an ambition she may yet |
realize, she hopes, after her child- I
ren finish college and she can I
study pharmacy.
SHE ALSO WOULD like to study
medicine and to be a foreign cor
respondent if she had that many
more lives. Interests she expects to
pursue within the next few years ,
are to study art and to take organ
lessons. She plays the piano "a
little.”
Frances Bagby’s friends say she
is a perfectionist. This is particul
arly evident in Mrs. Bagby’s ap
pearance. for she’s always well
groomed and coordinated in at
tire. The brown-eyed and brown
haired young woman has a pench
ant for dramatic, feminine attire.
She likes many types, but cocktail
and formal dresses are her favor
ites. Her preferences in fabrics
also is feminine laces, silks and
chiffons. Also soft wools, (‘specially
cashmere. She’s also glad crepe is
returning to the fashion scene.
She can and does wear all colors
except dark brown. She thinks
slim lines are best for mature
women.
Shorts are reserved by Frances !
Bagby for golfing and sailing. For
meetings and luncheons she wears
skirts and sweaters or softly tail
ored dresses. Her shoes which of I
ten are dyed to match party clothes
always are plain pumps and she
does not feel dressed if she is not
wearing stockings. She also likes
to wear gloves she does not feel
dressed without these either in
stead of carrying them.
She wears hats when the oc
casion calls for them but Mrs.
Bagby doesn’t think she wears hats
well. Usually she gets a hat for a
j specific outfit and later uses the
same hat with other clothes.
She likes good costume jewelry

| and always wears earrings and
j bracelets, except with shorts. Like
the Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Hag
by prefers gold and pearls lor day
i lime wear, but at night she goes
:in foi more elegant jewelry. Dr.
! Bagby teases her about some mas
I s ive rhinestone earrings that drop
almost to hei shoulders which Mrs
I Bagby likes for really formal
events such as Gasparilla
MRS. who has no troub
le keeping her almost perfect size
10 figure tshe’s five feet, seven
inches tall), thoroughly enjoy shop
ping. She does not consider herself
a real clothes horse because she
does not have that much time
But she does like to find handsome
clothes and takes particular delight
in getting a longed for garment
that sh<‘ thought was too expen
sive on sale. Mrs Bagby does not
mind admitting that there are
many things she likes but cannot
afford. In fact, her main shopping
trouble is finding too many clothes
as well as other things, that she
would like to have Her friends also
say she is a bargain hunter.
But if the latest Paris silhouette
which Mrs. Bagby does not believe
will be successful because too feu
women can wear it becomingly
should come to Tampa she proh
ably will have “less" "trouble” lx 1
cause Mrs Bagby does not care
for the bulky styling.
Frances Bagby says that being
a perfectionist can sometimes be
hard on one’s family and she is
concentrating now on relaxing her
efforts. She has a great deal of
self confidence about any under
taking, but she claims she does
not excel in anything.
Her main goals she says are to
be a good Christian, a devoted wife
and mother and a useful citizen
And the young woman who always
makes and keeps New Year’s
resolutions, last resolved to add a
bit of happiness to the lives of
[ every one she knows and meets.
She is one of those rare women
who can keep a secret from all
hut her husband. He never has a
Christmas surprise because in her
enthusiasm she always tells him
what his presents will be. Tampa

Russell B 1 ames
Wilson For Lag
In U. S. M issiles
THOMASVILLE, GA. (GPS) Geor
gia’s U. S. Senator Richard B
Russell, chairman of th eSenate
Armed Services Committee, thinks
Russia’s launching of the Sputnix
was “the greatest blow to the
prestige of this nation we have
ever suffered.”
And he places the blame "for
the lag in the U. S. Missile pro
j gram” squarely on the shoulders
of former Defense Secretary Char-
I les Wilson.
Speaking at the recent third an
nual Thomasville Farm Week ob
servance, the senator said he be
lieves this country can beat Russia
“In any contest if we give this
nation the right leadership.”
He said his committee had known
for 18 months of the Russian prog
ress in the rocket and missile fields
and “had fought with the men in
charge of the American program to
combat this lead.”
Georgia's senior senator from
Winder declared it "was inexcus
able" that the United States was
allowed to be overshadowed "In
any field where free men are allow
ed to demonstrate their capacity
as against those who are mere
slaves chained to the wheel of the
state.”
Senator Russell's remarks about
Wilson actually came in an inter
view preceding his speech. He said
the defense secretary’s order to dis
continue overtime work on- the
I missiles program disheartened the
ones who thought they were doing
I important work
Russell further said that while
secrecy was necessary in such pro
jects as the atom-powered sub
marine he thought much of the
■eert-cv about atomic projects was
j over emphasized.
