Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clippping reads as follows:

Miss Ethelwyn Bailey, 611 Sherburne Ave., sat on the tree-bedecked stage all through the "now" fashion show. Dressed in "then" fashion, Miss Bailey pursed her lips and shook her head in mock dismay at pants dresses and short skirts. But when 11-year-old Yolande Bruce, 652 Iglehart Ave., materialized in ankle-length white dimity, Miss Bailey dissolved in rapturous approval.
