Show THE BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH j WOMAN'S WORLD Make Attractive but Practical Clothing for Children in School By Ertta Haley clothing for the BACK-TO-SCHOO-L first and second grade set need not be difficult if the mother does her own sewing. She may make a smart wardrobe for the young set at a much more reduced cost than one purchased al-ready made, and, provided she sews carefully, the clothing will be sturdy. Youngsters In the early grades are rough on clothes, whether they're boys or girls, and they are quite heedless about falling and con-sequently tearing clothing. It will have to be as sturdy and as prac-tical as you can make it. However, it's never smart to sacrifice attrac-tiveness, as the youngsters are very conscious of how they mm in their various dresses, jumpers, skirts, coveralls and shirts. When sewing for the younger set, mother must also look to the laun-dering possibilities of clothing she makes. In short, these clothes must be able to take their share of suds-ing and hard washing, and still come out, color fast, properly fit-ting, clean and wearable. Plaid shirts fur the boys, and plaid dresses for the girls are excel-lent investments because the plaids now being shown have dark back-grounds which do not show dirt. tla this way, they can get through several hours of the day looking as 'neat as possible. Dark broadcloth or other dark cottons with touches of white at the collar and cuffs make adorable clothes for girls. These, too, are 'practical and attractive choices. ! As in many seasons before, cor-duroy is an excellent choice for both boys and girls' clothing. Chosen in often made In navy blue wool or jersey. If it has pleats, then this is all it needs. If plain, you can do several things. With a transfer pat-tern apply some flowers to the skirt and stitch these in woolen yarns of red, bright green and possibly yellow. They'll add lots of cheer to the skirt. Take a tip from the teen-age- d girls and add bright red, peasant trimmed suspenders to the navy skirt. You can make these from tape or red flannel or felt. e blouses are very pret-ty, but they will be even prettier for the small miss if you add some bright rick-rac- bias tape or peas-ant band trimming to sleeves and collar. This can be applied even if the blouse is ready-mad- or can be used on an old blouse which needs a fresh new touch. Dark broadcloth dresses are very prettily trimmed if you run a small plaid ruffle starting at the waist, go-ing over the shoulder and to the waist at the back. Have one on each Select appropriate materials . . . the dark bright colors such as blue, rust, brown and green, it's color-ful but g. siae. Attacn me ruine to a narrow piece of tape made from the same plaid for ease in sewing. Another good style in school dresses is this: Make a cotton print or plaid dress with a blouse-lik- e top and petticoat-lik- e circular skirt. This is worn in early fall while weather is still warm, and also in spring. For fall and winter, make an overskirt of corduroy to be worn over the dress. Use Time-Savin- g Sewing Tricks Mothers who have hemline troubles with their g children would do well to use a blind stitch attachment on the sew-ing machine. This is easily attached to the machine in place of the press-e- r foot, and produces an invisible hemming that rivals hand stitch-ing. It can be used on both light and heavy material. To achieve trimming details such as zigzag stitches in a variety of lengths and widths, corded effects. Wardrobe Requirements For Youngsters are Easy It's easy to meet wardrobe re-quirements for young fry because it's not necessary to have great variety. Unless you do the laundry several times a week, then you'll probably have to plan either a dress or several blouses for every week day for little girls. Boys in the young age groups can get along with three or four pairs of pants, and a pair or two of over-alls. It will be best, if you can man-age to plan one shirt for each day, but some of these can be of the In-expensive rt type. Clothing that is made for school wear now should fit the little wear-er. You can place an extra large hem in little girls dresses, but don't make them too long for now, as the youngster will not like wearing the dress as her playmates will not al-ways be very kind about her clothes. Pants and overalls for the boys can be made with a slightly wider cuff that can be let down as he grows, but if the pants are too long at the start, he will feel uncomfort-able in them, and he may trip on them. Clothing should be warm but not bulky, as these children are very active and need to be carefully fitted. Stitch the seams carefully and you'll save a lot of mending as time goes on. Avoid fussy and fragile trimmings on the girls' dresses even though they are pretty because they will appliqued designs and monograms, lace edges and inserts or an orna-mental edge similar to picoting, it's smart to use a zigzag attachment. This attachment will jump over pins and heavy thicknesses of fabric easily. A gathering foot makes short work of the many gathered effects required on small girls' clothing. This little device will gather the skirt fullness for stitching onto bodice, give smocked effects by gathering in fullness at the should-er and across the chest. Some of the manufacturers of children's dresses are using zippers in place of buttons. This is a good trick for mother to use, as it helps the youngster to dress herself more easily. Use them on both skirt and dress openings, sewing them on as you would on adult clothing. How to Handle Corduroy When Cutting, Sewing It's very important to fit and alter dress patterns before you cut them from corduroy When you cut, lay the corduroy on a smooth, flat surface with the pile side up except where it's necessary to cut on a fold or double. In this event, the fabric may be folded lengthwise with the pile inside. All pattern pieces should be placed on fabric in same direction so the pile runs upward Make pat-tern markings with tailor's tacks. When assembling the garment, machine s'ltch with the nap, from the bottom upward, using a No 11 needle, light tension and a rather long stitch, about 12 to the inch. Avoid outside or lop stitching Fin-ish the seams with pinking shears When pressing the garment after stitching, place fabric with pile down on ironing board. Place a slightly damp cloth on the wrong side and use iron temperature warm" enough to create steam without pressure. Float the iron over the seams and press only a small sec-tion at a time and attractive styles for youngsters. not take hard wear You can ob-tain good effects through full skirts, full gathering, wide belts that tie into beautiful bows, and sturdy laces and eyelet. Color is important as it's refresh-ing to both the young and those who will look at it. Even though dark solid colors are chosen, they can be livened with white or bright colors, plaid trims and borders. Gay Trimming Adds Clever Touches There are so many ways to bright-en wool dresses and blouses for young fry, even though the fabrics used in them may be fairly dark for practicality.

Abby gives the credit for this ability to her father, who was a preacher and missionary In New Mexico when she was a child. She often tagged along on his missionary trips, and afterward im-personated the people she'd met that day. "The Goldbergs," which has al-ready been on radio, television and the stage, and is now being made into a picture by Paramount, will crop up next as a novel. Gertrude Berg, its author and star, will write the book. "Information Please," granddad-d- y of the quiz shows, might better have remained in retirement, if the programs heard since its return to the air are an indication of what we may expect. That painful, futile effort to be funny gets pretty tire-some. In comparison with shows like NBC's "Who Said That?" and American Broadcasting's "Cliche Club" it comes out badly. Tony Curtis, Universal - Internat-ional contract actor, has been made a star by his fan mail and his re-ception by the public on his per-sonal appearance tours. He stars in "The Prince Was a Thief," by Theodore Dreiser. The new March of Time, "As Russia Sees It," evaluates the opportunities for conquest as Stalin and his staff see them, and shows why the Russians chose to take action In Korea rather than elsewhere. It also shows what America Is doing to meet the challenge In Korea, and how United Nations mem-bers are acting to check Sta-lin and his Communist satel-lites. Charles Paul, composer-conducto- r, and organist on "This Is Nora Drake," has been invited to go to Kurope this fall, as guest conductor for the London Philharmonic Or-chestra, the Royal Danish Sym-phony and the Concert du Conser-vatoire Orchestra-culminat- ion of fifteen years of work in radio. His mood settings have paced dramatic programs on all networks. Barbara Hale, on the set of Co-lumbia's "Emergency Wedding," showed Larry Parks and other members of the cast and crew pictures of the presents her hus-band, Bill Williams, gave her for her birthday. They included one electric stove and a large pile of imported tile for the bathroom of their new house. 'They'll last longer than mink," said Barbara. Betsy Drake was a model before she decided to go on the stage. "I'm probably the only actress in the world," said she, "whose pictures can be found In abundance and all sorts of clothes in old Montgomery Ward catalogues." Minnie Pearl, man - chasing comedienne on NRC's Satur-day night "Grand Ole Opry," Is in wide demand for personal appearances.

Between the great white house and the street was a wide expanse of lawn, and this lawn was at present occupied by a young man pushing a lawn- - mower. I Sandra didn't Minute know what to 3 F'Ctl0n make of it. She , remembered . that her mother and father were away for the week-end and that the servants were in the rear of the house. By the time she had dressed and ventured outdoors, the young man had finished his mowing and was resting in the shade of the veranda. "Will you kindly explain what this is all about?" said Sandra. "I Just mowed your lawn as it should be mowed." "Should be mowed?" Sandra puckered up her brow. "What do you mean, 'should be mowed'? Who are you? And where is Rufus, our gardener?" "I'm Jerry Leonard. I bribed your gardener this morning to let me mow your lawn. You see, I have to drive by your house every morning on my way to work, and every morn- - lng I've noticed that Rufus cuts the lawn unevenly." "Well of all things!" "Besides. I've been wanting to meet you since last June." "Meet me?" "Yes. My mother and I moved Into the old Saunders place last June and, the day after, I saw you and decided I had to meet you. I noticed your lawn and thought of the idea of bribing Rufus. It was like killing two birds with one stone." He grinned. "I knew your father and mother were going to be awav." "Why, the very idea! I I can't believe you're serious." Jerry Leonard scratched his head. "I was never more serious in my life. Shucks! I'm sorry if you feel the way you look." "The way I look!" Sandra began to wonder how she did look. A dozen retorts came to mind but they all seemed flat and inadequate, almost sillv. She hesitated for an instant longer and then turned abruptly and strode back to the Jerry Leonard watched her go and into his face there came a look of disappointment. rpHROUGHOUT the day Jerry was conscious of a forlorn misery. All his carefully formed plans had proved fruitless. At 5 o'clock he "I've been hoping you'd speak to me for ever so long," Sandra said, "but you gave the impres-sion of being rather high hat." drove home via a route that did not take him past the Hunter estate. Leaving his coupe outside in the drive he entered the cottage by the rear door and found a note on the kitchen table, left there by his mother, which advised him that she had gone to a church supper and that if he didn't want to come too he'd find some warmed-ove- r things in the oven. Jerry moodily ate the warmed-ove- r things and afterward stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. He was about to ease himself comfort-ably onto the doorstep when he chanced to glance toward the drive. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, swal-lowed. "What the devil!" he said. As he approached, the girl who had been washing the auto-mobile's wheels straightened up and stood off to survey her work. It was Sandra Hunter. "What the dickens." said Jerrv, "are you up to?" "Oh," she said. "Hello." She ges-tured toward the coupe. "Dirty wheels Been getting on my nerves for weeks." "Wha what?" said Jerry. "I've noticed you driving by every day from my bedroom window Rest of the car looks fine, but you alwavs seem to forget the wheels. Very an-noying." Jerry puckered up his brow He peered at the girl very intently His lace was grave. He said, "Is that all?" "No," said Sandra "I've Deen loping you'd speak to me for ever so long, but you gave the impression Df being well, rather high hat. This seemed like a logical method to promote friendly relations," she grinned "You see, I knew your mother was away."
