Another way of measuring the hemline is having someone help you in taking the measurement and placing pins around the skirt. In this case a tape measure is used or a yardstick is easier and place pins so many inches from the floor. Before taking the skirt off, have them pin it to make certain the length is correct.

Choosing Fabrics If you are making sport clothes or classic styles, choose the conventional con-ventional fabrics with subtle weaves, dots or checks. Neutral fabrics like gray and beige are always good provided they go well with your coloring. Printed fabrics are good for all types of useful, everyday garments. gar-ments. They may also be used for daytime and evening wear, made up for the latter in very simple styles. Smooth surface fabrics demand de-mand sophisticated styles. These fabrics show up every detail of construction and should be carefully care-fully worked with. The luxury fabrics like velvet, satin and rayon crepes are for evening wear. Sometimes they are used with a less expensive fabric and used for trimming Tweeds, woolens and some of the sturdy rayons and cottons are for utility use, like men's clothes. Factory workers and youngsters find good use for them, too. Fabrics with pile like velvet, corduroy, velveteen and other rayons and woolens are used for winter wear, or as trimming. It seems incredible to me, Roberta, 1 say in answer, that any woman in the world is still clinging cling-ing to this romantic Victorian delusion. de-lusion. Out of Date Attitnde. Sixty or seventy years ago it was fashionable for any vaporous and simpering young female to flatter herself that "her heart was another's," anoth-er's," but at the same time to give her hand to the prosperous, devoted and satisfactory partner. Many an engaged girl, even now, rather likes the fancy that she will be more adored than adoring, and that she may capriciously dole out favors to the grateful male, often reminding him that he told ber, in engagement days, that just to have her would be enough, and he would some day win her love. In engagement days, yes. But what an awakening is ahead of romantic Roberta, if Dick is the kind of man who sweeps these rosy cobwebs aside, once the marriage is an accomplished fact, and becomes be-comes bored when Roberta wants to enter into a sweet saccharine confession of her earlier attachment, attach-ment, and expresses regret that she has not given and cannot give Dick her entire heart. Years ago I saw a mawkish movie called "The Loves of Anatole." I think it was in that movie that the bride had a heart-shaped aperture carved in her bedroom door. The groom, when wishing to enter, presented pre-sented bunches of blossoms at this little look-out, and the coy bride accepted ac-cepted them as only her due. Roberta belongs in that movie. If she has good sense she will wake up, forget the high school SWEET MEMORIES .i. "Tf n? ?good foo one-time ideal would bo wholesomo thing for Dick. By KATHLEEN NORRIS ON MY desk lies a letter from a girl of 24, an office girl in an Illinois city, who is going to be married mar-ried in June. Roberta is going go-ing to have a church and home wedding, with bridesmaids; brides-maids; she's going to a pretty new home after a California honeymoon; she's going to have well-to-do relatives-in-law who apparently can't do enough for her and she is smugly miserable. She is miserable because six years ago she had a wild, passionate passion-ate young love affair with a boy named Archie. Archie led her on for some months with the idea of marriage, mar-riage, and then left without a good-by good-by and broke her heart She has told Dick all about Archie. "I've told Dick," says her letter, "that I'm afraid I don't feel for him what I ought to feel. We're congenial; con-genial; I'll have a fine position in the community when I'm married; I admire everything about Dick, but still there's always the memory of Archie. Dick has been patience itself it-self about it; he wanted to be married mar-ried before he went into the service, serv-ice, in 1942, and every time he was home on leave, but how can I give myself to one man however fine, with the lingering love for my girlhood's girl-hood's sweetheart always in the background? "Mv rrnther detested Archie, and she loves Dick. Everyone thinks I'm lucky, but I don't want to make a mistake. Would it be wiser for me to break, even now, and stay true to Archie, even though he may never come back, or is it enough to have the husband completely devoted, de-voted, and will what I can give Dick be enough for him?" Often when a girl is about to many, $he can't help recalling re-calling some sweetheart of the past. Frequently it teas her first experience with love, and the thrilling memory re mains bright. She wonders if she really should go through with her marriage perhaps that first man will come back, if she will only wait. Such a problem faces Roberta, who is asking Miss Norris for advice ad-vice in today's article. On the face of it, she is very fortunate. The man she intends to marry is well eduM cated and successful. He has an inherited fortune, and well-tolo well-tolo relatives. She can look forward to a honeymoon in California, and a pretty new home. Everybody in the new family likes her, and she in turn likes them. Nevertheless, Roberta isn't happy. She can't get over the joy of the days when she was in love with Archie. He never amounted to anything, but he seemed to be the answer to all Roberta's dreams. When he left without saying goodbye good-bye it broke her heart. Now that she is about to marry Dick, she still hopes there is some chance that Archie will come back to her.

A Visit from 'Archie. Perhaps the luckiest thing that could happen to them both would be to have Archie, the breaker of hearts and engagements, return to town. Archie had no prospects, no job, no sense of honor, six years ago he probably hasn't any of these now. To get a good look at Roberta's one-time ideal would be a wholesome thing for Dick, and save him much annoyance in the future, fu-ture, and the thought that she couldn't do any better than Archie, at 18, would be highly salutory to Roberta. Her wistful reminiscences would lose some of their effectiveness effective-ness with Archie banging around the bouse. No ghosts out of a woman's past can be quite as embarrassing as her one-time lovers. Awkward brothers, severe fathers, exacting or boring uncles and aunts these she can stand. She can stand to have Dick dine with sister Mollie and the swarming babies and the disorderly dinner table and the noise and breakage and yelling. But when her dream-boy of senior year high shows up, laughing stupidly at humiliating old memories, mem-ories, calling her the pet name that once thrilled her to the soul, expecting ex-pecting certain affectionate familiarities familiar-ities like holding hands in public and occasionally kissing, then Roberta's soul shrivels within her, and she wishes that be were 1,000 miles away. If Richard was smart he would write to Archie and ask him to spend a week-end with himself and Roberta in their new home sometime. fie a simple bow-knot in your hose with the nozzle protruding upward. up-ward.
