WNU reaturea. Crlla JJaictj WOMAN ever bia enough blouses, the moat economical Item tn the wardrobe. If you have a skirt with a choice of two, three or even four blouses, you can always be sure of going about well dressed without giving the Impression that you are always wearing the same clothes or operating on a limited wardrobe. Most blouses require two yards or less of material, and they may be made from all sorts of material. In fact, the sky Is the limit as far as fabrics for blouses are concerned. Many a woman with outmoded dresses or evening gowns can put together several blouses and give the Impression of a brand new wardrobe. Taffeta evening gowns make particularly attractive blouses. Since taffeta blouses are now popular, those outmoded gowns should now be taken out, overhauled, cut and made Into something as usable and pretty as a blouse to give you an alternate for that new spring suit Any style may be chosen for taffeta blouses are seen In drsped and tailored styles. They are cool and feel well under a wool suit They are dressy enough even when you remove the Jacket to your suit Fitting Is as Important in a blouse d as In a suit Take a look at some of the handsome, expensive blouses in the stores and you will see what I mean. Notice that there are at least four tucks at the waist of the blouse, two on each side In both back and in front In some styles you will find even more tucks to give that "nipped at the waist look, and prevent too much fullness under the skirt A J0 Lynn Chambers Tuna rish Au Cretin Boiled Potatoes Brussels Sprouts Banana-Aprico- t Salad Custard or Rice Pudding Butterscotch Sauce Rye Bread Beverage If you have a taffeta evening gown . .. and to give more attractive, fitted lines to the garment. Even if the pattern which you happen to be using does not show these darts, fit them into the garment after the shoulder seams are sewed and you are ready to fit these side seams. Then baste them in, press, and try on. You will see how much they do for the figure. Darts are used plentifully on the blouse, as are gathers. In making the blouse, gather at the shoulders first, using very tiny stitches so that the gathering will be even. If the blouse has a yoke and an action back, make sure that the blouse is gathered, as at the shoulders, and basted carefully in place before sewing. Another detail which is important in the blouse is the shoulders. A tiny basting stitch is run around the upper part of the sleeve, and this is used for making the small gathers which enable you to ease in the sleeve when you are ready to stitch it into place on the blouse. Most of the fullness is allowed on the top of the shoulders and the back. Make sure that no gathers are allowed underneath the arm, as this will make the blouse uncomfortable to wear. Many types of shoulder pads are now available which will also aid in THE A smart black wool crepe dress with a matching hood Is modeled by Martha Vickers, now sppearlng in Warner Brothers "The Big d pep-luThe Sleep. is of black chenille. m giving good lines to the blouse. The more expensive pads seem to cup the shoulder lather than pad it, and they are not so weighty as the stuffed ones. They may be used In several blouses. Another type of pad now being made is attached to a net vest. This is designed to be worn underneath the blouse, and of course. It eliminates sewing pads in each blouse. Still another solution to the pad problem Is to use the taffeta itself. The pads, which need not be stuffed, since the material is stiff, will also match the blouse perfectly. If you are fond of cuffs on the blouse, taffeta makes beautiful pleated cuffs. The pleats should be placed evenly and pressed and basted in place before sewing. Pay particular attention to the line or print of the material. Piping may also be used if you are fortunate In finding some that matches or contrasts perfectly with the material you have on hand. If you are making long sleeves on the blouse, you will want at least two darts at the elbow to allow for freedom of movement Sometimes patterns will call for only one dart but it has been found best to make two small rather than one deep dart The finished garment will also look much better. It is always wise in making darts of this type to come to a sharp point You can best guide your sewing if you will baste first. Always tie the threads on the inside and do tie them firmly so that the dart does not come open later. Its much easier to sew them right the first time than to try to repair them later when they are sewed on the garment and you no longer have a flat working surface. Home Sewing Hints Just a word about patterns for those of you who do a lot of home sewing. If the tape measure around the bust reads 42, please buy a pattern in that size, not in a 38. The size of the individual is much better concealed In a correctly fitted garment, than one which is too smalL If the pattern must be altered, it Is much easier to alter one that is too large simply by taking tucks in the pattern. If too small, the pattern must be slit, and this is much more difficult to do than taking in tucks. g Avoid if you want the garment to look nice. Use the type of finished edge most suitable to your material and make this as neat as possible. Good table space, good light and a place for the ironing board are among the essentials needed for home sewing. If it is not possible to have a sewing room, have all these items conveniently on hand when you do sew.

WINNING IIIM BACK When a woman marries a man much younger than her self, she is taking a chance. This is especially the case when he is handsome and flirtatious, as is Marigolds husband. She is 39 note, 12 years older than Larry. They met when he joined the faculty at Marigolds school for girls. Soon after the marriage Larry began paying attention to other, and younger, women. He has drawn considerable money from their joint account, used Marigolds car for dates, and in general behaved in a way no good husband would. Now he wants to go on a long tour of the country to obtain neto students for the school? Marigold suspects that he will be accompanied by a pretty girl of 19. With all his shortcomings. Marigold still loves Larry passionately ." She asks Miss Norris how she can hold her errant husband. Miss Norris tells her that the best thing Marigold can do is to try to pretend she doesn't care what Larry does. If she busies herself with her own interests in the school, Larry will probably come bach to her in due time. , -- 44 and my yellow and hair is untouched by drugs or grayclean-lookin- g, ness yet. There must be something to me; the children love me, and so do their families. I am well again now. Im not ready to be a broken, crying, wakeful failure as a wife. Help me to get back again. Dont Take Him Seriously. Help, my dear Marigold, has to come from within. When you make yourself a whole woman again, absorbed in other things than Larrys physical perfections and love conquests, youll get him back. When you are always happily busy, amused, planning picnics for your charges, dressing with the old charm, enjoying the same old books and music, Larryll see you as he used to see you. Stop the crying, reproaching, lying awake nights, analyzing. Nothing is so fatal to married peace as talks in the long "reasonable which a man and woman hurt each others feelings deliberately and systematically. Forget Larry. Yes, forget him. Listen to his complacent recitals absent-mindedlhave other things to think about If he goes off with the car, see that he hasnt too much money. Suggest casually that he find a job as physical culture director in some other school. Explain that his flirtations are undermining yours. Laugh about it Warn prospective students that he is youthfully amorous. In other words, become yourself again, a charming, capable, successful woman, who knows how to live and help small unfortunates live on happier terms, who dresses well and has many interests. The sooner Larry drifts away to impose older upon some other heart-hungr- y woman, the sooner youll regain your moral, mental, psychological and physical balance. y; Using Up Dry Bread Dry bread has many uses. It makes good french toast hot milk toast bread and custard pudding and baked fruit scallops. Turn odds and ends of bread into a supply of dry crumbs that every thrifty cook likes to keep handy for coating foods in trying end for topping baked dishes and stuffing vegetable! or meat Tuere are bread crumb specials too pastry Like cream pies and crumb cake and cookies.
