SUMMERVILLE SILHOUETTES
It’s been a long time since
Silhouettes has visited the nice
Rackley’s store, but my, what
they’ve acquired while we’ve been
away!
We know that most of you peo
ple drop by to see them every
time you’re in town, but in the
event that you haven’t been in
right recently, I want to tell you
what CUTE, CUTE dresses they
have got.
Those dress racks are almost
overflowing with dashing plaids,
rustling taffetas, cold-weather
wools and the more-popular
than-ever VELVETEENS.
Thes~ dresses bear such fa
mous labels as Justin McCarty,
Jonathan Logan, Johnnye, Jr.,
and Junior Miss—everyone beau
tiful and well-made. That’s one
thing you can be sure of at
Rackley’s.
A two-way dress by Johnnye
Jr. is really making a hit. The
detachable cape doubles as a
peplum and changes the entire
appearance of the solid green or
solid black dress. This cape- pep
lum is bound with multi-color
stripes, the same material of the
collar and cuffs.
For dress-up or for most any
occasion, you’ll wear this lovely
“leopard spotted” velveteen suit
dress, which has a short, gently
flared peplum and which fastens
up to the tiny round collar with
silver buttons. The skirt is full
and flared, but simply plain.
Take your choice (if you hurry)
in grey with black, red with black
or blue with black.
The “Doorknocker” will knock
its way right into your heart, be
cause it’s an entirely different
tailored dress. Designed by Jus
tin McCarty, it is brown gabar
dine, with an adorable miniature
doorknocker on the leather belt.
Another completely “different”
feature of this dress are the but
tons. —But I’m not going to tell
you about them. I WILL guaran
tee this—it’s been a long time
since you’ve seen anything like
it!
My pet dress at Rackley’s is
this: A Jonathan Logan all vel
veteen, with a low-cut neck and
a deep scalloped bertha which
forms the sleeves. There is no
belt, but the tiny band nips your
waist in above the circular skirt.
It’s too pretty for words, so just
go see for yourself. There’s only
two left, a black and a cherry.
There’s nothing more practical,
nor prettier, than the Justin Mc-
Carty corduroy bolero suit, which
is available in green, red or
brown. The skirt Is full, with a
tuck near the bottom compli
menting it.
The Eisenhower jacket is pop
ular again this year, and Rack
ley’s offers both a school-days
plaid and a dressy date black
faille with this jacket.
The wool is a lovely combina
tion of green, cream and red in
plaid with the skirt boasting of
its plentiful fullness IN THE
BACK.
The simple black number has
cross-wise tucks on the front
jacket and front skirt. Although
simple, it’s smart!
—And as for blouses and skirts
—Rackley’s has some of the fin
est. Dainty white blouses, with
lace, and an extra-special one
whose color is magnolia -it
means MAGIC!
I know you’re all just dying to
hear what the Doris Dodson dress
designers have in store for you
this fall, so that’s what this col
umn is going to be about.
As you kell know by now,
Chattooga Mercantile is the ex
clusive dealer of the pretty Doris
Dodsons in Summerville.
—And they ARE pretty, almost
beyond imagining.
These designers believe in us
ing velveteen (which is going to
be terribly popular this year) and
I’m going to tell you about two
styles where this lovely fabric is

used in a charming manner.
For early fall, and for lots of
occasions, the pretty little two
piece of cotton and velveteen is
unbeatable. You see the high
neck cotton blouse in beautiful
plaids of green, pink, orchid, with
long, close-fitting sleeves.
It’s a “tuck-in” blouse, and
what does it tuck into? A beau
tifully flaring velveteen skirt in
solid green or grey, which has a
petticoat -peek of material
matching the blouse. A wide belt
and big buckle, all of velveteen,
complete the costume, which, by
the way, is called "Primer of
Fall.”
Another velvet combination is
of wool and velveteen, designed
for later fall and winter wear.
Can you picture a two-piece solid
grey (also comes in acqua) dress
with wide velveteen turnup cuffs
and velveteen binding the front
opening? But the best part yet,
the top half of the circular skirt
is velveteen in graduated de
grees in tr.e gores and the bot
tom half is matching grey wool.
See it, won’t you?
Plaids are big news this year
and the cutest yet is a wool two
piece (Doris Dodson original) in
green and wine plaid on white
background. A green crepe tie at
the high neckline and a bias dou
ble fold at the bottom of the
long torso jacket adds wonders
to this otherwise simple style.
# The skirt, I think you’ll agree,
is really unique, and just plain
cute as pie. There is one big
“kick” pleat in the center back,
and not only a slit on either side
but also one in the front center.
Bright yellow and grey com
bine effectively for a wool bolero
dress, which has a white dickey
front. Just another of the pretty
plaids at Chattooga Mercantile’s.
Now to go with these pretty
plaids and velveteen combina
tions. you girls will want a PRET
TY, PRETTY date dress, maybe a
black, something excitingly dif
ferent.
"Star-time” fills the bill exact
ly. It’s black crepe two-piece,
and has oodles of accordian
pleats. At the bottom of the waist
AND at the bottom of the skirt
are a flare of these pleats all the
way around. A band of taffeta
inserted here and yon puts the
proper note on this romantic
Doris Dodson.
Taffeta (more than in “Star
time”) and crepe are beautiful
combinations in “Dark ’N Hand
some,” a sleek, but yet softly
feminine, black date dress.
There are these and more, and
they’re dresses ANY junior will
be proud to own and prouder to
wear.
It’s Chattooga Mercantile for
Doris Dodsons and many other
pretty dresses.
Sometime ago I told you a wee
bit about the new Minx Modes
dresses now carried by Charles
Esserman and Company, but
they’re so extra-special, so per
fect for juniors, that I’m going
to devote the rest of this column
to them.
Sleek and smooth fashions are
the keynote for the junior fash
ions for fall, 1948, and you can
bet your boots Minx Modes are
completely up to date on the last
word in fashions for you!
The fall silhouette is one of
fluid lines, soft contours and
easy grace. Shoulderlines are
rounded and feminine —made so
by Minx Modes own “snap-in”
shoulder pads. —Bodices are be
littling, waistlines are minimized
by slender belts. —Necklines
climb high and featured are soft
cowls, tiny turn over and point
ed artist collars. —Skirts, sleek
and smooth, are swirling or slen
der. Modified fullness is made by
fan or box pleats and easy bias
flares. And, of course, “Slim Jim”
skirts are eternally flattering.
—The length is about the same,
mid-calf.
Back interest and coquette
fashions are shown this fall by
a rush of fullness to the skirt
back and fanning out gently.
Newsworthy too are scarf
treatments. Fringed wool scarfs,
ascots and scarf-tab ties are big
news this year.
The junior color picture is
glowing palette, ranging from
palest of pastels to rich, deep
darks and bright “Smash Hit”
shades. Among the pastels are
such colors as luster beige and
Cloisonno pink, while the new
darker shades include woodland
green and forest fire red. Encore
blue, theatre green and a brand
new color, “Winter Vermillion,”
a bright, clear orange-red, fea
ture the Smash Hit colors.
Fabrics range from tissue
weight wools, heathery tweeds
and striped and plain jersey for
active wear, to paper-crisp taf
feta, rustle-y faille, smooth vel
veteen and sleek crepes for dres
sier wear.
Now that you have a bird’s eye
view of the fall styles, let’s take
a brief peek at a couple of the
Minx Modes now at Charles Es
serman and Company.
In this one-piece alpaca charm
er, with a high, round neck and
flattering flared skirt, PLUS
rows of fringe trim on the skirt,
you can go glamorous and REAL
LY be in the date-time spotlight.
Siren black only.
Scalloped for several glances is
this one-piece rayon crepe, whose
silhouette is sleek and smooth,
and whose coquettish back pep
lum guarantees admiring glances.
Take your choice in taupe, en
core blue, theatre green or win
ter vermillion.

and Company for Minx Modes.

FIRE PROTECTION
NEWS
By GEORGE BISHOP
County Ranger
The first case of burning the
woods to be carried to the local
courts since this county started
fire protection Jan. 1, resulted
in Mr. George M. Odom pleading
guilty Aug. 11 to a misdemeanor
charge of careless burning. Judge
Rivers fined Mr. Odom $1 and
court costs and gave him an 18-
months’ suspended sentence. Mr.
E. H. Terry, State Investigator,
who was prosecutor in the case,
agreed to this sentence upon Mr.
Odom’s offer to plead guilty be
cause of his advanced age.
Since last January, 13 other
cases have been settled out of
court by payment of suppression
costs as allowed by state law.
Eleven others caught setting
fires have been given an oppor
tunity to settle their cases be
cause of the circumstances under
which they set fires. These cases
will be presented to the Grand
Jury unless they are settled in
the required time.
