Frequently, too, we find that even those who have made garments for sume time are still at a loss as to how some basic construction problems are solved. One of the mam difficulties comes in sleeves. This is eas to understand because there are three places for most sleeves to fit at the shoulder where the sleeve joins the garment, at the elbow because of the movement of the arm, and, finally, at the wrist or cuff, if you are working on the long sleeve. If you are using a pattern, you may be certain that the sleeve will fit the armhole, as this has been use a However, great deal of caution In cutting with the pattern. If the sleeve pattern moves even slightly on the material during the cutting, It will twist during the wearing. Note, too, the mark for straight of the goods m placing the pattern on the fabric. Lay the fold of the fitting pre-teste- Those wonderfully soft pastel that are top favorites for resort wear now, have brought about an accompanying hat fashion: the matching felt, swathed In net or mallne, and the lacy turban of net or frothcrochet. In the soft iest pinks, blues, pistachio greens and other pastel colors of sheer wool, the effect Is a new and entrancing confection of a hat. The swathed turbans give a wonderful background for the Jeweled touch of scatter pins or a single large pin. wools Ice-wo- ol Some of the puffed sleeves will also look peculiar because of their fullness. However, when properly gathered, they are designed to fit. Sleeves should not be fitted high on the shoulder to eliminate the soft' fold of the waist at the front and back. The sleeve will tear out. If you have a model, this helps in fitting sleeves. It cannot do the Job completely, though.

You cant hope to correut cutting faults In the fitting Fitting the Sleeve Requires Patience On long sleeves, either the three-quartor full length, you will note er your shoulders and arms about while you check the fit. Have your shoulder pads ready to Insert when you fit the sleeve. These should be inserted before the fitting You thould not do the final stitching before trying on sleeves with shoulder pads. Pads Vary with Fabrlo Which Is Used Little padding is used currently on sleeves because the soft rounded, natural shoulder line is being hailed. However, most shoulder lines are Improved if a slight padding is inserted to improve shoulder irregu larities.

For washable fabrics, youll find that gathered taffeta serves quite well. Raglan sleeves usually take a pad, with the broad edge wide enough to extend across the shoulder line. Join one point to the shoulder or top of the sleeve while the other points are placed where ypke and sleeve meet If you have one shoulder higher than the other, make a heavier and larger pad for the lower shoulder to even the shoulder line.

Another is the ice box watermelon, fruits are six inches across, thin skinned, and fine flavored. Needs about nine weeks of hot weather.

Stitch Side Seams Before Joining Waistline To have the waistline fit properly, its necessary to prefit the garment and to prepare the garment properly before Joining the bodice with the lower half of the garment Amateurs frequently feel it is easier to sew the waistline and then follow this by joining the side seams. Well, it certainly is easier to sew this way,' but the waistline will rarely fit properly. It is either too high or too low! On some dresses which require a stiff waist you many insert an inner belt to keep the waistline firm. Among the pew sheer dresses now appearing, an elasticlzed waist used so the dress is sometimes gathers softly and evenly. With an inner belt, Join the seam first then insert the belt basting it to the seam. Let these Tips Guide When Making Pockets Pockets are not hard to make, and they frequently add value as well as decoration to the garment Patch pockets, which are frequently used on bouse dresses and aprons, childrens clothing, and the like, are easiest to make. They must be absolutely true and even. A cardboard pattern is best to use for cutting evenly. Baste before stitching. Top edges of pockets are finished first In lightweight fabrics, this edge is hemmed. In heavier fabrics, cover the raw edge with seam binding after turning the edge, then hem and pin pocket on the garment Check your accuracy in placing it before stitching. be the proudest yOULL er in the Fabric combinations, which are one of this seasons fashion highlights, are shown in this classic suit that uses a Jacket of worsted with Strooks birds-ey- e a plain, slim gabardine skirt The cull revers on the Jacket are of matching gabardine.

KATHLEEN NORRIS Syndicate WNU Features theI arefact thatin Despite and deeply love with each other, writes Janet Harrison from Toledo, ours is a disturbed and un- happy home, and I afn writing to ask your help in solving what has become a real problem. Two years ago, at 26, I married my office boss. I had been divorced, and have one child, Ann, who is 5. David also secured a divorce and also has a daughter, Pamela, who is 8, Pamelas mother has already married again and gone away, not even sending the child a card at Christmas. "My first husband and his people are devoted to Ann, who goes to them for a week end twice a month, returning loaded with presents and stories of good times. Under the circumstances I can hardly ask them to include Pamela in these affairs, and as David often takes me on short business trips, we leave his daughter with my old Mammy here'at home. But this is hard on Mammy, who has family and church interests of her own. totally strange environment where she was by the- - very nature of things unimportant and superfluous, subjected to constant contrast with a more attractive and beloved child, one can only congratulate her upon this opportunity to escape from as selfish and callous a household as it has ever been my experience to meet Infinjta harm has probably already been done this childs spirit But since she is gentle and shy, she is perhaps not hardened as yet and may bloom like a little flower when she gets into the sunlight. As tor you and her father, well, you didnt ask me for a lecture on parental morality and responsibility, not to rrjentlon common decency and humanity. But I marvel that so many intelligent men and women more often than men, can assure themselves fatuously that by uprooting one domestic set-uthey are qualified blandly to begin to build up another. You take your Ann away from her father, lightly assume the care of another small girl, this one motherless, and are confident that you are a fit person to bring other children Into the world. p Delicious Cookies LYNN CHAMBERS while they when you g bake, taste them, that the way we like our cookies!
