Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH . - I WOMAN'S WORLD Familiarity With Pattern Uses Helps Fit Clothes to Own Figure By Ertta Haley Burlap Fashions WAY In which you wear THE your clothes is Just as impor tant as the styles you have chosen Unless you are comfortable in a dress, blouse, suit or coat, the mos' fashionable garment will not giv you the poise and grooming yoi should expect. Many women avoid expensive alterations on clothes by rnakinr their own, and in this way they cat echieve both fashion and correct fit with the least amount of ex pense. Figures which are hard to fi' without extensive alterations cat readily be clothed with clother sewed at home, provided you know Just how to alter patterns to make them fit. So much ease, comfort and feel Ing right can come from clother that fit accurately that once you've treated yourself to a well fitter" garment, you'll never be satisfied with less. Not only will clothes do more for you, but you'll enjoy wearing them at well as showing them off to best advantage. Clothing which fits perfectly al-so has the advantage of wearing better, but will require less care and attention than gar-ments simply because they wrinkle less readily and need less frequent cleaning and pressing. When you take measurements, remove any bulky pieces of ap-parel so that you can arrive at Casual shoes and matching purse fashioned of burlap and simulated leather were Intro-duced as sun mates for warm weather wear. The rough tex-tured burlap gives a textured effect which Is both novel and new In the fashion picture. complished by laying paper under-neath the pattern so you can make a dotted line Indicating the taper-ing. To shorten sleeves, lay folds straight across to take up the extra length. If the sleeve is very long, make one tuck above and one be-low the elbow. Shorten the waist by folding the desired depth between the under-arm and the waistline. Be certain to make the adjustment on each piece of pattern. Skirt pieces are shortened In the same way as the waist. In this case, have each part of the skirt shortened the same amount, and at the same position. This is partic-ularly important so that pattern notches will match, and so that a gored skirt will fit well. When you are adding length rather than subtracting it, use the slash technique. Pin the pieces to a paper strip, or baste them to ex-tra paper if you want to use the pattern several times. Making slashes to give width or length and neclecting to pin to an extra piece of paper, may result In your losing the pattern pieces. If the pattern is not seperated and simply a slash made without pin-ing to extra paper, you may not get the required amount of extra material, as the pattern is apt to slin during the cutting. For a large arm, add the extra width along the edges, tapering from armhole to waist. If much extra width Is needed, cut pattern on grain line, separate evenly and pin to paper. Make Waist and Hip Adjustments Carefully For narrow hips, take off a little at the hipline on the side seams of the skirt. Make certain that the line is tapered to the hem so the skirt will fall properly. If only a little additional material is needed at the hips, the adjust- - L'i accural mtasurtmenti ... your true measurements. If you wear a certain foundation garment, have this on when you whip out the tape measure. Keep the measurements on a handy card so that you may al-- . ways have them on hand. This card should be kept with frequent measurement checks if you are gaining or losing weight. Make Adjustments In Pattern ICather than at Scams Essential line and style In a pat-tern can be changed or lost only by shortening and lengthening at waist or hemline. Therefore, you see many alterations can be made within a pattern itself without changing the basic style. You may have fit plus style with internal pattern adjustments. Never be misled by seam, pleat and dart allowances. These should be cut, pinned and sewed as di-rected on the pattern or the cloth-ing will not have proper fullness, slenderness or other features which make for good styling. Even if you need so little as a half ah inch in the bodice of a dress, don't try to get the neces-sary extra room by failing to slash ment may be made at the side seams, tapering off at the waist and hemline. When more than a lit-tle is needed, an even amount can be allowed along the side seam of the skirt from hip to hem. Properly fitted waistlines are re-quired so that clothes will be com-fortable. For heavy waistlines, add width to both back and front of the garment at side edges. Taper the extra width to both the upper and lower halves of the garment. When the figure Is heavy above the waist, lay the pattern over paper and allow enough for easy fit. The adjustment for this is dif-ferent from adding extra width for a full bust, since this adjust-ment is made at the front only. The heavy waisted figure needs rtra material both in back and front. If the back Is round and full, slash waist lengthwise from mid shoulder straight down to waist-line. Lay on paper and pin. Slash across the fullest part of the back from center to back to the length-wise slash to give enough ease. Cut the skirts from the waist to the hem and seperate as neces-sary. Narrow shoulders can be by taking in a tuck from the shoulder down as far as necessary. If the rest of the figure is large, slash bodice and skirt lengthwise enough to give extra width. How to Make Special Pattern Adjustments If you have difficulty fitting necklines properly, leave the neck-line with extra material and trim this off when you are fitting the material to the figure. For the bust which comes rather low, adjust the waistline darts on the pattern, bringing narrow darts to the sides of the waist rather than to the middle. Make armholes comfortable by having them cut while material is on the figure. Then cut sleeves to fit armholes after the adjustment is made. to hate clothes fit perfectly. the garment. If you try to get the room from the seam allowance, the seam may pull open. When you repair the damage, you will actual-ly be making the garment so small it cannot ever fit properly. Clothes which are made too roomy are as poorly fitted as those which struggle to keep on your fig-ure. When you place the tape meas-ure around yourself, do not pull tightly on it, nor let it fall too loosely. It should be so comfort-able you do not really feel it. and this Is the way the finished gar-ment should be on you. Accurate measuring and cutting of the garment will save both pa-tience and material. There is no need to make the garment a little large In the cutting to make allow-ance for errors in sewing, for you will only waste material by having to trim off. Once the pattern is selected ac-cording to the measurements, you may baste it together and try it on; or, make an inexpensive mus-lin garment first and work from that to check fit. Slash or Tuck Patterns According to Needs If your bodice is shorter than the pattern allows, lay one tuck straight across the pattern. In this case the side seams may need slight tapering, and is easily ac-- Leftover Ham and Eggs Make Interesting Dish For Supper, Luncheon yOU'LL BE GLAD to have ham leftover from your Easter din- - ner as well as those hard-cooke- d ,eggs from the tra-ditional Easter jegg hunt.

Chicken and ham are flavor mates for sandwiches. Enhance the flavor by spreading the bread with a Thousand Island dressing. For something distinctly differ-ent, try using a scrambled egg fill-ing in noontime sandwiches. Color and flavor appeal are given the sandwich by adding some chopped green pepper or chopped onion to the eggs. Peanut butter is an old favorite, but it takes on interest when mixed with chopped crisp cucumber and a bit of pimiento for color. LYNN SAYS: Pep I'p Lunches With Variety Tuna fish salad for sandwiches is nothing new, but when yo add to it some broiled bacon, you give it a welcome change of flavor. Swiss cheese paired with thinly sliced dried beef and sliced tomato will travel well If made into a lunch box sandwich. If the sandwich filling is rather dry, give it succulence by dipping in an egg-mil- k mixture and fry it for French Fried sandwiches.

Dusty thumped his tall on the floor and pricked his ears. There was, he hoped, a possibility of be-ing taktn for a walk up the slope behind the house where rabbits frequently ran and offered no end of excitement. Sylvia laughed nervously. 'Of course I don't. I was only joking. We wouldn't sell Dusty for a mil-lion dollars." She reached down and twisted one of Dusty's flop- - 31 Minute pjng ears around Fiction h e r forefinger. I Dusty lolled his tongue and sighed In contentment. Next to chasing rabbits, there was nothing he liked better than having his ears twisted, unless It was hunting a glove or an old shoe or pocketbook that either Joe or Sylvia had hid-den. Joe lay awake that night and thought about what Sylvia had said. He felt guilty and ashamed, but when you haven't enough to eat and you own some property that would bring an easy thousand dol-lars on the open market, you can't help thinking about it. Sylvia's aunt had given them Dusty the week before they left for Hollywood. He was sev-en weeks old, a pure bred Springer Spaniel, black as coal and Intelligent as two ordinary human beings. The next morning Joe decided to go down onto the boulevard. Some-times on the boulevard he met someone he knew and would get talking and perhaps get a line on something. He put Dusty on his leash and started out. Joe turned down Vine street. Just below Selma, some children were playing on a lawn. One of them was crying. Joe stopped to see what the trouble was. A little girl had lost her rag doll. It was somewhere about, but he couldn't find it. Dusty licked the little girl's hand. She cooed happily and patted his head. The other children crowd-ed about. Joe unsnapped Dusty's leash, held the little girl's skirt to his nose and said: "Go find!" Dusty let out a yip and went bounding away. Two minutes later he came back, holding in his mouth the rag doll. The lit-tle girl clapped her hands. "Smart dog," said a voice. Joe turned. A car had stopped at the curb. A small round man with a friendly face had emerged onto the sidewalk. Joe nodded. "Pure bred Springer. They're all smart." "Are they?" said the little man. His eyes twinkled. "Like to sell him?" Joe said nothing. He felt a queer prickling at the base of his skull. "Like to sell him?" said tha man again. "How much?" said Joe, not look-ing at him. "Nine hundred." JOE thought of Sylvia. She was hungry. She'd be hung-rier tonight. The only alternative was city relief. A man has hir "How much?" said Joe, not looking at him. pride. He remembered the hu Sylvia had given Dusty before they left. He thought of the way Dusty would nip at their toes when they were getting dressed in the morn-ing. Ha shook his head. "No!" he said. "No! Not for twice thai amount." The rotund man laughed. "Then how about hiring him? You, too. of course. We're making a picture" that requires a cute dog who will go find things that have been hid-den." Joe threw up his head. "What'" "Think It over," sad the rotund man. "Pay would be $25 day. Here's my card." He smiled. "Hope I didn't Insult you with that nine hundred of-fer. Your dog's worth two thou-sand, if a cent. Never saw a pure black Springer with those lines. Be sure to look me up If $25 doesn't suit you. we can probably talk terms." Joe stood on the curb and watched the black limousine re cede. He glanced at the card then down at Dusty. Dusty was watching him expectantly. He wanted to walk some more. Joe slipped the card into his pocket and started up Vine street at a pace that rath er surprised Dusty. i QUICK I TASTyMf I-JSS-ii 585 Van Camp'i gg New Orleans 5f) H Red Kidney Bw II Van Camp's...
