How can I remedy these things?" Details of completing a garment frequently offer a problem to those who have just begun to sew. Frequently, too, we. find that even those who have made garments for some time are still at a loss as to how some basic construction problems are solved. One of the main difficulties comes in sleeves. This is easv to understand because there are three places for most sleeves to flt at the shoulder where the sleeve joins the garment, at the elbow because of the movement of the arm, and, finally, at the wrist or cuff, if you are working on the long sleeve. If you are using a pattern, you may be certain that the sleeve will at the armhole, as this has been However, use a great deal of caution in cutting with the pattern. If the sleeve pattern moves even slightly on the material during the cutting, it will twist during the wearing. Note, too, the mark for straight of the goods in placing the pattern on the fabric. Lay the fold of the I Stitch Side Seams Before Joining Waistline To have the waistline fit proper ly, it's necessary to prefit the garment and to prepare the garment properly before joining the bodice with the lower half of the garment. Amateurs frequently feel it Is easier to sew the waistline and then follow this by joining the side seams. Well, it certainly is easier to sew this way, but the waistline will rarely fit properly. It is either too high or too lowl On some dresses which require a stiff waist, you many insert an inner belt to keep the waistline firm. Among the new sheer dresses now appearing, an elasticized waist is sometimes used so the dress gathers softly and evenly. With an Inner belt, join the seam first, then insert the belt, basting it to the seam. Let these Tips Guide When Making Pockets Pockets are not hard to make, and they frequently add value as well as decoration to the garment. Patch pockets, which are fre quently used on house dresses ind aprons, children's clothing, and the like, are easiest to make. They must be absolutely true and even. A cardboard pattern is best to use for cutting evenly. Baste before stitching. Top edges of pockets are finished first. In lightweight fabrics, this edge is hemmed. In heavier fab rics, cover the raw edge with seam binding after turning the edge, then hem and pin pocket on the garment Check your accuracy in placing it before stitching. Smart!

You can't hope to correut faults in the fitting. Fitting the Sleeve Those wonderfully soft pastel wools that are top favorites for resort wear now have brought about an accompanying hat fashion: the matching felt, swathed in net or maline, and the lacy turban of net or frothcrochet. In the soft iest pinks, blues, pistachio greens and other pastel colors of sheer wool, the effect is a new and entrancing "confection" of a hat. The swathed turbans give a wonderful background for the Jeweled touch of scatter pins or a. single Urge pin. ice-wo- ol Some of the puffed sleeves will also look peculiar because of their fullness. However, when properly gathered, they are designed to fit. Sleeves should not be fitted high on the shoulder to eliminate the soft fold of the waist at the front and back. The sleeve will tear out. If you have a model, this helps in fitting sleeves. It cannot do the job completely, though. You'll have to try on the garment and move Mr cutting Requires Patience On long sleeves, either the three-quartor full length, you, will note er y Try oh before stitching. at the elbow which permit activity.

Since the war, the seed industry has been able to put out some new varieties of vegetables that will help the home garden. One of the new items is a dwarf sweet corn. Just imagine a full grown corn plant as high as your kneel And two to three ears on it of the tenderest. sweetest corn evert Moreover, the ears are ready in two months after planting. While the plant is small, the ears art large in proportion. They are about four inches long and have eight rows of medium size kernels. Plants take no mora room than turnips, and any size garden can have this fine corn. This year it is in many seed catalogues under the name Golden Midget. Another plant for the horn garden U the tomato Bounty. This was developed in North Dakota especially for early maturity and colder climates. The plants are stocky, with several stems that do not need staking or a lot of room. Plants can be set as close as two feet apart. The fruits are dark red, round and similar to Marglob or Rutgers. Plants product fruit in about eight weeks after being set out The fruita are excellent for eating or canning. dwarf From Minnesota comes cucumber. The vine Is short and forma medium size fruits.

ANSWER: Marble in thin slabs, is table tops, when broken, can se permanently mended only when supported by a reinforcement. Plasterboard can be used or this, or a strip of board. The reinforcement is cut to fit within the frame. The marble is turned upside down, the edges of the break are cemented and pressed together, a thin mixture of plaster sf Paris is spread on the back )f the n.arble, and the reinforcement placed in position After a number of hours for hardening, the marble is returned to place. w I j ' I Took Nurse's Advice No More Harsh Features was irregular for a long time.

These should be inserted before the fitting. You thould not do the final stitching before trying on sleeves with shoulder pads. Pads Vary with Fabrlo Which is Used Little padding is used currently on sleeves because the soft rounded, natural shoulder line is being hailed. However, most shoulder lines are improved if a slight padding is in serted to improve shoulder irregu larities. The shape of the pad varies with the material used in sewing the gar ment. The large triangles are used for woolens and some of the stiff, heavy silk and rayon materials. Small, pads are con long or sidered best for the sheer fabrics. Including the sheer woolens which are now so favored. For washable fabrics, you'll find that gathered taffeta serves quite well. Raglan sleeves usually take a pad, with the broad edge wide enough to extend across the shoulder line. Join one point to the shoulder or top of the sleeve while the other points are placed where yoke and sleeve meet. If you have one shoulder higher than the other, make a heavier and larger pad for the lower shoulder to even the shoulder line. round-shape- v AILING HOUSE ' fitting the VI are aal M i . von coins throuch tho rune UonaJ middle age' period peculiar to women (M to 52 rrs I Doee Uita make you suffer from bet Qaebra. feel nerwoua, hlghetrunt. tiretl Tbea do cry Lydla E.
