The other consideration, which in the past has too often been neglected, neg-lected, is style or smartness. Style is difficult to achieve In a summery dress because no matter how lovely, It can take ontbeappear-ance ontbeappear-ance of a rumpled, dowdy thing within an hour after you've put It on, simply because the weather takes all the starch out of you and your dress. Because It is difficult to keep cool and at the same time look well-groomed, well-groomed, Fd suggest you concentrate concen-trate on the simpler fashions for summer. Pleats are very nice, but they're bard to keep well-pressed when the - temperature's soaring. Ruffles may look very nice on a blouse for a dressy suit, but they wilt easily when you're perspiring. perspir-ing. AH this Is said to suggest you consider the choice of s summer afternoon dress carefully. Look at the work of the country's best designers de-signers and you will always see simplicity sim-plicity the basic note, the guiding factor in a dress, suit or coat Another factor that has an Important Impor-tant bearing on your style is the fabric you use. You would hardly consider a waffle weave for a ruffled effect nor would you consider the cool but weighty mesh prints for lots of furbelows on a dress. If you want to look cool and collected, then you'll choose your print and color with a tot of caro. Unless you want to appear very gay, don't buy red unless it's relieved re-lieved by plenty of white or neutral. Nor do I suggest you choose a very warm shade, like orange or yellow-orange. yellow-orange. Take your pick from the pale yellow yel-low tints or cool colors like green, blue and violet Brown and black with touches of white or neutral are also 'very attractive. White ia difficult to keep clean in some sec- yon Save drett-Ungth material, , tlons of the country, but It Is cool to wear, and particularly nice for dress-up. Cut Your Pattern With Architect's Precision Remember there's nothing bard about any part of sewing if you work as a professional Naturally this will permit no slip-shod cutting or careless fitting. If you are working very carefully and with fabric which Is quite ex pensive, It may bo best to cut and fit your pattern of Inexpensive unbleached un-bleached muslin. This ean be run together on a machine with long stitches Just well enough to hold it through a good fitting, and then ripped and used as the pattern. The easiest way of keeping the material from which you are cutting cut-ting in a straight lino and even fold Is to ta-k It lightly on your work-in work-in table Clerks try to keep material mate-rial straight when they cut it for youbut some fabrics are so slippery, slip-pery, this Is Impossible. It Is bet ter to take a little time to get It in V ofco e pretty ajterntxm frock. line, "to lie straight" before cutting than to have a dress that does not set weQ. The little notches on your pattern which are designed es tucks and I jjj I Mr Spring Fashion Notes Button interest is paramount tor summer clothes. A simple cotton dress receives elegance from rich, frosty white buttons or Jet black ones. Black skirts, with, pink blouses make nice dress-up costumes, that are bound to be arresting. Don't forget for-get black poplin or linen-like fabrics fab-rics with white embroidered touches for .dressy and smart suits. - Jiah Tailored Interest The skirt of topes brown with flat-seamed center panel Is teamed with a taffy' gabardine Jacket to make this a smart selection selec-tion from Molly's collection. Notice No-tice the fine Interest In detail and careful tailoring. darts are mighty Important In making mak-ing the garment fit you. The neckline neck-line may require more than one or two darts to make it fit snugly. The darts at the waistline may have to be a little smaller than shown in the pattern. Perhaps the underarm darts should be Just a little deeper to give yon good line. All of these little things can be determined by basting first then fitting. ; A recent bit of news suggested that we women were spreading across the hips much more since the war than our designers antici pated. And, they tell us, that does not apply only to the older women, but to the teen-aged youngsters as well Because the skirt fit is so important impor-tant it's a good idea to baste the entire tklrt in place before attempt ing any sewing. Slip the garment on, and a the seam allowance has been too generous, you can always let it out If the garment is too snug, It may be necessary to place panels at the sides to give more room. At any rate, it's better to know Just what the score ia before you put in those hard-to-rip stitches. Don't feel that Just because you're sewing on cotton that you can afford to be careless. Whereas cotton cot-ton used to be an inexpensive material mate-rial before the war, it is anything but that now. A good piece of material mate-rial deserves Just as good treatment as you ean give it Care of Fabrics For washing woolen garments use a neutral soap. Soaps with alkali have a harmful effect on woolen garments. Use as little friction as possible when washing, wash-ing, as it may ruin the flbera. Squeezing gently In lukewarm suas is the best method. Hang the garment where air circulates freely and la neither too hot nor cold. These same precautions are necessary for washing silk. To prevent yellowing, hang silk in the shade. Cotton and linen wash easily, although alkali cleaning agents should be used carefully. Sunshine Sun-shine tends to whiten both of these fabrics and they can withstand with-stand the -higher temperatures fairly easy in washing. Soft water and mild soap arc the essentials for washing rayons. Two sudsings should be used if necessary. The fabric should not bo rubbed or twisted. Ironing with Just warm heat is very important impor-tant Bemberg fabrics are handled like silk, wrapped In a towel and Ironed with Just a warm iron, Skirts of cocoa or blue chambray are nice business like affairs when teamed with yellow or pink blouses. Easy to keep looking neat, too. You'll bo seeing more frills and "' wuoieu a ciotniDg BOW ! that some Civilian Production ad- sniusn-auon controls have been rescinded.

If we had had a law like that for the last four years, hundreds of American homes would have been saved. And es the saving of the American home is as important as the saving of America, this would have been a wise law. Soldiers are subject to hundreds of laws, some good, some petty; they must obey them all or suffer humiliating and painful penalties. A man doesn't ask to get Into the service, he Is drafted; it may mean the loss of an arm or a leg, or of his eyes, but he has no choice. It may mean that he comes back from years of service to discover that the sweet and gentle woman of whose love he has been dreaming dream-ing has taken on another lover, that she wants a divorce, that the babies whose little crumpled snap-shots he has been treasuring through many an hour of danger and loneliness, are to be his babies no longer; ho has lost home, wife, children at ono blow..

When he comes back, expecting his wife to be ready to soothe him and make up for all the misery, he is frequently fre-quently disappointed.
