Bookworm or butterfly . . . come to the
Charles Shop. There' are two species of
college girls (broadly speaking). Which is as
it should be. Girls will be girls, even at col
lege. But can you tell a bookworm by its
cover? You cannot! The time is past when
you could spot a genius by the blue worsted
stocking, and bifoculs. Charles doesn't care
whether you take Commerce 30 or Tap
Dancing 200 . . . whether you go to college
for a Phi Beta Kappa key or a husband . . .
Charles knows you are looking for bright
new Campus fashions, and that's what we've
got.
