TIHAT is more fun than sewing TT for children entering school? Nothing, that I can think of right at the moment, because these youngsters usually have such fine, healthy bodies, basically good figures, fig-ures, clear skin and bright eyes. They look so perfect in almost anything any-thing you turn out. that it's a pleasure to sew for them. Youngsters go through their cloth ing so rapidly, or outgrow it so quickly, that home sewing tor them is a necessity. Not only can yard goods be made up into attractive at-tractive dresses, but many other things can be remodeled to fit quick as a wink. Styles in young girls' dresses vary little from year to year, so if you have two or three good basic patterns, pat-terns, these can be used over and over again. You'll discover that your little girl is very style-conscious, not of grown-up styles so much, but to her own age and social group. She wants to wear dresses like her friends, the same type, if not the tame fabric. Don't steer too far off that course if you want to keep her happy. For school dresses and outfits, your best choices of material are velveteen, light-weight woolens and plaids. For warm fall days, cotton will still be the choice. Styling Important to Youngster's Garment Though basic styles do not change much from year to year to this age group, little girls have fads and fancies which you'll do well to follow. If they should like wide ribbon rib-bon trimming or bows, or a certain kind of ric rac, then let them have their own way to keep peace In the family. Princess styles are very becoming becom-ing on the younger figure. If you plan to have a button front on them, the little girl will be much more able to dress herself, and will require little help from you during When you tew for youngsten. . , . the breakfast rush hour. Sew but-:ons but-:ons on securely, but do not fasten them too tight Another tip to help your youngster young-ster dress herself independent of your efforts is to have necklines neck-lines open down the front rather man the back, whenever possible. This makes it easy for her to slip into the garment, and she won't have to wander about the house naif buttoned until you can get around to her. One of the cardinal "don'ts" to dressing children is not to have the dresses too long, just because you don't want to take them down every year. Long dresses can give a roungster an inferiority complex if her other friends are wearing them short Another rule Is to have them Bt nicely enough to allow for movement, move-ment, neither too loose nor too tight Don't select fabrics that the roungster has to be careful of always. al-ways. This will make her too worried wor-ried about spoiling the dress. Garment Choice Makes Wearing Easy Just what exactly should be included in-cluded in the young girl's wardrobe ward-robe to give the greatest amount of wear? The answers to that question ques-tion are easy.

Remember that these will have to be washed constantly, and they should be easy to iron. Another must for the younger wardrobe is a skirt, or preferably several skirts to be worn with blouses and sweaters and even contrasting jackets when the weather becomes cooL Plaids era very popular with the younger set and these are easy to run off on the sewing machine. If you are considering a suit for the young girl, make it very sporty for everyday wear. By that I mean have a loose Jacket with a pleated skirt Work to soft woolens or all wool or part wool plaids. Both the jacket and skirt to such a suit may be worn separately with other things, of course. Another good idea for a suit is the ever popular bolero style. This can be worked out attractively tor the younger girl if you trim the hem of the skirt and the edges of the Jacket to bright wool binding of a contrasting color, or even a decorative braided wooL Whenever you sew with woolens, remember these three pointers: Cut larger than average seams so that the material will not ravel If the woolen does not tend to run and ravel, pinking shears may be used. Secondly, always press out the seams after they are sewed, and have them lie flat The third has to do with finishing finish-ing the seam. Most woolen seams should be overcast and finished with a binding tape so there is no opportunity oppor-tunity for raveling and loose yarns. Know-How on Fabrics A number of chemical processes proc-esses are now used on fabrics which give certain types of finishes. fin-ishes. It is essential to know them because care of the garment gar-ment differs with its finish. A resin process makes certain fabrics cottons and rayons crease-resistant but not crease-proof. crease-proof. This is helpful to making skirts and dresses and suits. Some fabrics contain permanent perma-nent stiffening and as such will require no starching. Look for washing directions on this type to come with the material. .Some stiffening will last only through a few washings, but others will last the life of the garment There are some stain-proof fabrics which resist certain stains and dirt When you buy the material, ask which has a wax finish and which a chemical finish as this information will be important when you wash the garment Forecast What's new to color for the school girl? First of all there are the three basic types to choose from black, brown and gray. For those who want something a little more vivid, there's bright red and brilliant blue. You'll see these colors appearing constantly to fall plaids.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS A FEW months ago there was enacted in the San Francisco law courts a tragedy as simple and as terrible ter-rible as any ever written by the classic Greek dramatists. There were four figures in it. One was that of a young strong man who lay dead, shot through the heart. Another An-other was that of an innocent small boy of less than two years, A third was a returned serviceman, scarred by lonely, lone-ly, homesick years of war. And the completing figure was that of a young wife, her face a mask of humiliation, resentment, shame and despair. de-spair. All four lives as completely com-pletely ruined as was that of the man who lay dead. The story is a common one today, to-day, a tearfully common one. That it is common will remain an en during scar ob the reputation of American women for all time to come. The husband was away fighting for his life, and all our lives. The woman was lonely; the other man was willing to solace her in her loneliness. They became lovers. When the husband came home, longing for the peace and affection and security of his own fireside, the news that greeted him was that his wife was living win another an-other man and wanted a divorce. She Broke Her Promise. He tried to be reasonable; be talked to them both. It was arranged ar-ranged that for a year the wife should belong to neither man, and that at the end of that time she would choose. It seems to me that the defeated and defrauded husband showed rare restraint when be forced himself to this much consideration con-sideration of the pair. But the wife and her lover were no respecters of bargains or promises. prom-ises. Very shortly the husband discovered dis-covered them together again, unable un-able to exercise even under these circumstances, either decency or self-control. He shot the lover through the heart and faced a court trial that ended by his complete com-plete acquittal. What price those stolen kisses now to this woman, still young, who has ruined four lives, and cut herself away from the society of self-respecting womanhood forever? for-ever? In the natural order of events her baby will go to its father, and therefore she loses at one blow-husband, blow-husband, lover and child. This story would not be so impressive im-pressive if it were not true of so many wartime homes. Other women wom-en have run the fearful risk that this woman ran. Other men are coming home to that smug, selfish announcement "you see, dear, I was lonely and bored, and Bob managed to avoid the draft, and he was right here, with lots of money and I'd like it so much if you'd just be agreeable about it and give me a divorce."

She agreed to this remark' able arrangement, but ti teas not long before she wa spring the "other man" again.

The homes of the nation are going go-ing to pay a very high price for these casual love-affairs. No enemy from without could ever injure us as deeply as win the slow, steady, penetrating destruction of our homes. It may not show on the surface, sur-face, but it corrodes from within the homeless, unwanted man pays for it the demoralized and scattered children pay for it, and in the end the woman pays pays all through the rest of her life.
