LATEST STYLES — Preparing for the Town and Country Fashion Show last night in the Kansas Union were Barbara Hodgson, Lawrence senior, left; Janet Jones, Colby senior, and Mrs. Ethel Jane King, fashion commentator from KAKE-TV, Wichita.
Fashion Commentator Shows Fun, Enthusiasm for Work
A fashion commentator proved last night that she enjoys her work, as she jokingly announced the Town and Country Style Show in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Mrs. Ethel Jane King; fashion commentator from KAKE-TV in Wichita, was mistress of ceremonies at the style show sponsored by 12 Lawrence merchants.
Winter styles in both dress and casual clothes were displayed at the event.
Mrs. King found time in her busy schedule, which includes a daily TV show, to come to Lawrence before the show to help with the planning of the event.

This native of Wichita attended Wichita University where she majored in speech and drama. During her freshman year in college, Mrs. King had a part time job on the dramatics staff at KFH radio.
