If the clothing budget doesnt permit buying material for new coats, then mother had best look to her old pieces of wool for available material. Grownups clothing can easily be converted into something useful for the youngsters, but this will take some care and attention. Its not merely a matter of cutting the coat down, but rather of ripping it apart completely, and oftentimes dyeing it into an attractive color for the youngster. Children are too young and gay by nature to be clothed in somber-colore- d things, so try to make even renovated clothes attractive. A young mother I knew recently husbands .made use of her blues by converting them into spring coats for her two youngsters. On the little girls coat she added a crisp touch with a white pique collar; and on the little boys coat, she sewed some miniature navy insignia on the sleeves. Both youngsters are delighted with these additions to the wardrobe. This only goes to prove that even a navy blue shade can be lightened effectively with little crisp or bright touches which take only a few minutes to apply.

Who Yankees? could have told you 10 or 11 of their best hitters would fall off 30, 40 or 50 points? Who can say how many of these will bound back to where they used to be? Who can tell you how good Joe DiMaggio, the big man on the club, will be? Their pitching was pretty good last year. It was their weak hitting that wrecked them. DiMaggio, a great ball player, could be a big lift if he is the ball player he was before the war. Maybe he will be. I wouldnt know.

Dont become so beset with your cleaning and laundering problems that you shy away from gay, bright things for the children. We dont want the youngsters to look like miniature wise old owls even if we have a little more cleaning to do. Fitting is Important For Children Ive emphasized this point before, but Id like to mention it again. Never make things too large for the children, thinking they will grow into them. Little girls will look like dolls if they are dressed in short, perky dresses and coats, and little boys look all the more masculine if their clothes are of a proper length not an inch or two too long. Of course you may make large hems on coats and such so they will last longer, but the point is, dont make them long to begin with. If you do so, the child will dislike the garment so thoroughly by the time he really fits into it, that he will refuse to put it on unless theres a major battle every time you insist on his wearing the garment. Try to make fittings as brief as possible, as it becomes tiresome for the little folk to stand still for a lengthy period.
