Show i THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH . j WOMAN'S WORLD Sewing Your Own Accessories Gives Clothes Glamour, Variety By Ertta Haley Circular Skirt Style hi r T r ip ii ..w.v'ri 1 Lf Whether you're clothes budget conscious or simply want to put your own ingenuity to work, your wardrobe can undoubtedly benefit by accessories of your own making. The woman who can a'ford only a few items basic to the wardrobe can expand it almost Indefinitely by making attractive accessories for it. On the other hand, even though ,they can afford to go out and buy gloves, purses, scarves and other 'such items, many women prefer to make their own because they feel ,they can get something original and different. You don't have to be an expert on sewing to add these clever and at-tractive touches to the wardrobe. Neither do you have to expend a lot of time and energy making them. The rewards, however, are far greater than you would dream: the pleasures of creating, the inter-esting effects for the wardrobe and your friends' praise of your Ingen-uity. Take, for example, the case of the girl who could afford only an inexpensive sun dress. It fitted her nicely and looked attractive but since she had to wear it all season long, she took steps to get three different dresses out of it. Her first step was to make a cape Jacket for it so the dress could be appropriately worn for going shop- - Among the most popular of current fashions Is the full sweeping circular skirt shown here with an encircling mule train design Inspired by a Cali-fornia fashion expert. With their flopping ears and flirtatious eyes, the mules arc set against a stippled background. The sim-ple puffed sleeved blouse Is of solid colored cotton broad-cloth. you'll bless those days now for many of these clothes can be used. EVen though clothes are worn thin-I-spots, a few remodeling tricks can give them the mngic that yields another season or two of satisfac-tory wear. Long, full sleeves on blouses which have worn out at the arm-hole- s, for Instance, can be cut off entirely to give you a sleeveless blouse which Is so popular right now. If you don't have a skirt, get right into fashion by making a brightly printed, circular type. There you have a costume that is strictly fashion-righ- t. Tailored blouses particularly yield themselves to having their sleeves cut off entirely. Simply bind the sleeve edge, and you may wear the blouse with not only the skirt just mentioned, but also with suits which always can use an extra blouse. Collar and cuff fashions lend themselves to many provocative changes on clothing. One of the newest Is the stand-u- p collar that can be made for any good basic dress. If you like, add some inter-esting large cuffs to a short or long sleeved dress or blouse. Use some of the new fabrics with inter-esting textures to give the dress the desired lift. Old boleros take on a great deal of interest If they're lined with a bright new print. Add a bow of this same print to your hat, and you have a brand new outfit. Long rows of buttons mav be Pep your wardrobe with s ikirt . . . ping as well as calling Instead of just a sports' tog. This took less than a yard of material in a contrasting color and about two hours to make. It gives her an "extra dress." Her next step consisted ot buying still another piece of contrasting material. This was used for making a scallopped cuff which snapped around the top of the bodice. This gave her still another change for the original dress. Make Old Hats Do Extra Duty If you feel that summery hats are a poor Investment, then you probably haven't used them to their fullest wearability. Of course you can refresh veiling and change flowers or remove one or both, but even that doesn't always give you enough wear to make them worth buying. Just in case you have one or two old sailor hats knocking about in the back of the closet, here are some good ideas for them. When you get through remodeling them, you won't be able to recognize the old bats. , Sailor hats, because of their reg ularity, are easy to cover with new material. This might be some ma-terial from a dress you've just made or a small piece of fabric picked up at the remnant counter added to bodices or slender skirts for a decorative touch that is both new and novel. Purses and Gloves Yield Themselves to Treatment Unless gloves are so worn as to be cast out, then take them aside for renovating. The efforts to give them a lift are so little yet so re-warding in results. With the interest In decorative cuffs on gloves you can see what an easy matter it is to change an old pair into something that looks like it came out of a fashion window. Ruffles of nylon, gathers of fine lace or embroidery work are all good techniques to apply to old gloves. Outseam stitching is another good trick to employ on the heavy gloves if you will but take the time to rip out old seams and h them. Although white gloves are always correct for summer, you might try dyeing a few pair in luscious Dastels- - Just to give them a colorful touch. Match them with some of the pastels in the wardrobe, and see what a luxurious touch they can provide. Covering purses with "slipcovers" is an old idea, but it's new this sea-son when you use such fabrics as shantung or burlap which are high fashion. It's especially effective if you have shoes in one of these ma-terials. Don't be satisfied just with cover-ing the bag. Add to it such decora-tive features as interesting buttons, or a renovated bat. which will give just the contrasting note you need with some summer clothes. Fabric, felt or straw may be cov-ered in this way since you need only to cut the material to fit. It's easy to tack on with small stitches. You might make a belt or purse cover with the same material if there's enough left, and thus give yourself matched accessories. If the old sailor hat does not look as snappy as you would have it, you might try trimming off some of the brim since most of the new hats in this style have rather narrow brims. Change the angle at which you've been wearing it, too, if that's a help. Picture brimmed hats need not be new. Cleaned and refreshed, they, too, can take on a new look. One of the easiest ways to bring them back into circulation is to cut off some brim and to sew some stiff veiling or ribbon around the outer-most edge. Add a hat band to rrotch or contrast your dress, and possibly a bow, and see what these will do Remodeling Helps Stretch Slender Wardrobes Easily It's a truth of long standing that your wardrobe is what you make it, rather than what your present bud get happens to offer. If, in previous seasons you purchased wisely, colorful fringe or a piping of con-trasting bias tape. Change Belt Style To Refresh Dresses Your dress may stand close In-spection, but what about the belt? They frequently give away the age of the dress when they're frayed or twisted. It's easy enough to buy a new one. but you can make some interesting belts at home with some stiff fabric for lining and scraps of material for covering. Ribbon or braiding make lovely belts. You might change the width of the belt to refresh the costume. Then too. the closing might be varied for interest. Too short belts might be tied with ribbon or fringe. Buttons could be sewed on to dot a belt all the way around or just a few inches right at the front. Or. make a belt that dips in the back if you want tc be really in the swing of fashion.

Reader s Courtroom Ponderous Pachyderm Something Impossible One Mistake Allowed By Will Bernard, LL.B. vary. For personal guidance, --ee vour local attorney. If an Elephant Foils Through a Bridge, Is the City Liable? Every spring a travelling circus stopped in a certain small town to put on its show. The day before the opening, the company would stage a parade-hea- ded by a five-to- n ele-phant. The parade route, which was approved by city officials, led over an old wooden bridge. One spring day. during the parade, everything went along fine until the animals came to the bridge. The elephant took a few steps into the structure, when all of a sudden it cracked beneath his weight. The huge beast dropped through the hole to a road below, and rolled over dead. .The owner of the cir- - cus later sued the town for the val-ue of the elephant. The local offi-- ; cials insisted that anybody who puts an elephant on a bridge does so at his own risk, but the court disagreed. Holding the town liable, the judge said that a public bridge should be kept safe for any proper and lawful use thereof. Are the Parents to Blame if a Child Runs into the Street? A mother told her d son to play in his room until she finished cooking dinner. After a few minutes, the boy became bored. He slipped out of the house and ran into the street right in front of a speeding car. The young-ster was killed, and his parents later sued the driver for reckless-ness. The man tried to shift the blame onto the boy's mother, say-ing it was her own fault for letting the child run into the street. How-ever, the court felt otherwise and held the motorist liable. The judge said that parents can't be expected to keep their children under lock and key or watch them every single instant. His Honor comment-ed: "Parents are not required to do the impossible!" Does One Mistake Make a Girl "Incorrigible?" A young girl, abandoned by her parents, was sent by state authori-ties to live with a private family. After awhile, she met a young man who resided in the neighborhood and soon fell in love with him. One night, she ran away from her foster home and got married to the youth. Police later picked her up and sent her to an institution for "incor-rigible" girls. However, when the matter was aired in court, the judge ordered the girl released. The judge said: "We find here only a single act of disobedience as the basis for the charge of delinquency. This is not enough. A child is not 'incorrigible' who disobeys only once." Should a Policeman Ride On Your Running Board To Guide You to the Hospital? A woman stopped her sedan alongside a traffic officer and said: "I'm taking my aunt to the hospital.

It 3 Fiction wuld cuf I chances suc cess In half, and it would be rather embarrassing because well, because he thought she was an awfully pretty girl and he liked the way she held her chin high and tried to appear brave. On Monday of the second week, the redheaded girl dropped her handbag. Its con-tents spilled all over the plac e. Jud helped pick them up lip-stick, a bunch of keys, a pawn ticket! Jud't lips tightened when he saw that. Just as he thought she's had to pawn something In order to live. Of course the handbag episode "gave him the liberty of talking with her. Without half trying, he got her story. It was Just as he figured. A sad tale of deprivation and lost hope. If only she could see Mr. Jones. She knew he needed a she really was awful-ly good. A determined light came Into Jud's eyes. Ignoring the protestations of the switchboard girl, he burst through the railed-i- n space, crossed It in two bounds and threw open the door to Mr. Jones' office. Mr. Jones was sitting at his desk, smoking a cigar. He looked up with a startled expression when Jud en-tered. He had heavy jowls and a shock of grey hair and belligerent, bushy eyebrows. The cigar fell from his mouth. He stood up. Before Jud could utter a word, he barked: "Your name Jud Essex?" "Yes, sir," said Jud, taken aback. "I'll be damned!" exclaimed Mr. Jones. "Did she tell you who she was?" "Did who tell me who who was?" Jud asked, beginning to think he was mistaken for some one else. "My daughter! That redheaded girl In the outer office?" It was Jud's turn to drop a cigar, if he'd had one. "Your daughter? That the girl who wants a job as a stenographer?" Mr. Jones came round his desk. He was short, hut rotund. He glared up at Jud. "You're hired," he said. "I lost a bet, so you're hired. But you'd better make good, or you're fired. Get that!" "Shut up! Do you want the job, or don't you?" Mr. Jones stalked out of the of-fice. A man came In another door frXr" J v "Of course, I'm serious. I made a bet with Dad that I'd marry you." and told Jud to follow him. "Kate always wins," the man said. "Here's your desk. Kate wants you to go to lunch with her this noon." IUD SAT DOWN, speechless. "Do mean am I one of several who have been hired in this fash-ion?" Jud passed a hand through his hair. The man left. Jud sat down at his desk. He tried to straighten things out in his mind, and was beginning to get places, when Kate entered. At lunch Kate said: "Would you like to marry me?" "Sure," said Jud, grinning weak-ly. "All right then. Right after work. I'll be waiting." She was, too. He wondered what was next. He found out. She took him to a minister's. She produced a li-cense. Jud tried to grin. He gulped and stared at her. "Good lord! You're not serious about this?" Jud suddenly no longer had the feeling that he liked all this. "Now listen." he said. "I can't marry you. In the first place I don't love you. In the second I think you and your old man are crazy. And in the next place, I'm already mar-ried and have three kids!" Mr. Jones called Jud on the phone the next morning. "Mister, you're still working for me if you want the job. I won a bet from Kate, and it's cured her of her screwy notions. Come on down. Your salary's doubled." ClassificdDe New hSV! season. New Iiradie?'CK J"-se-make offer Hi FJLc,, JIELP WAVTZ SALESMEN iri7j77-- i portable rerr.MrXV ophrone between t," write ,. O. .
