You'U see them now as one of the favorites for resort wear: very classic as to lines, extremely brief as to sleeves and pleasing as to pattern. Polka dots will continue their popularity, and prints are innumerable. New and refreshing are the small scale patterns, often so conventional-ized or stylized that they are entirely new looking. The love-ly band of silk makes it possi-ble to give these new classics many original collar interpre-tations, and most of them are low-c- . WOMAN'S WORLD New Window Curtains Give By Ertta Haley BEFORE the warmer JUST makes its appearance, many a woman is apt to take a good look at her windows. The curtains look very dirty and sleazy after a winter's heating. If you're certain they won't stand another laundering session, then get out the tape measure and sewing ma-chine It's time to make new win-dow dressings! Glass curtains are among the easiest items that can be made at home. Mi st of them require only long stretches of straight seams. There's no fancy stitching or cut-ting, no elaborate patterns, and hardly ever any ripping if you follow the simplest rules. Soft, full gathers will make the simplest materials exquisite when they're made into curtains. First measure the windows, as to height and width. The curtain material should be purchased twice as wide as the window. You'll need at least two inches at both top and bottom for seam allowances, and from two to four Inches for a shrinkage tuck, so add at least eight inches to win-dow measurements on the length. Net. marquisette, scrim, sheer rayon or nylon are all used for glass curtains. A good quality, firm-ly woven material will give you the most satisfaction and most wear and is well worth the few cents more a yard which it costs. Measure windows carefully . . It's very important to buy good material if you live in a community that's dirty or smokey, because then curtains will have to with-stand frequent washing. Have Edges Straight For Good Appearance Because curtains are so large, It is best to cut them on the floor where you'll have enough space to spread them out. If you place the curtain material on a rug, the fabric adheres to the rug and you cloth to catch any dirt, or you will soil the curtain. Whenever possible, tear the cur-tain fabric, rather than cutting it, as this will give you straighter seams to sew. If the fabric does not tear, draw a thread and cut on the thread line. If you cannot pull a thread use a yardstick or ruler, and draw a chalk line on which to cut. Pay special attention to the grain of the fabric in cutting, folding and stitching so the curtain will hang straight. Selvage edges are woven tight-er the the curtain fabric and should be removed before cutting and sew-ing the seams. Why? After the cur-tain is washed, you may find your-self with baggy curtains which nev-er can be ironed smooth. This selvage does not show up in the new curtain, but it will al-most always show up after laun-dering. Use Iron to Save Basting Stitches Professional seamstresses always work with an iron and ironing board set up, ready to use, in their sewing room. Many edges can be pressed immediately after cutting so that the fold is sharp. This may be stitched without basting. As soon as the curtain is cut or torn, turn the side seams, using an iron to fold them neatly. The hem edge on these is one or two inches when finished. Press first a quarter of an inch turn, then a second one inch turn. Pin the hem on the outside edge and then stitch, thus saving basting. The top edge is turned In cas-ing, Dut this usually is basted first so that you can hang, die curtain for a trial to see that it fits your curtaj) rod. This fitting will also help you in seeing that the curtain bangs properly. For nice, full curtains.

LYNN SAYS: Here are Facts About Yeast Breads It's important to use flour in making bread and rolls with yeast because this contains gluten. Cake flours are short on gluten and do not make good bread with yeast. When the temperature goes higher than 88, the heat may easily kill the action of the yeast. Mix finely chopped, hard-cooke- d eggs with cream cheese and spread on toast. Broil until slightly bubbly and serve with bacon strips. When you ready the dough for rising, grease the top of it lightly with butter, fat or salad oil, and cover with a clean towel. Light greasing helps prevent a crust from forming on the dough. The towel prevents dust from com-ing in contact with the bread. Bread and rolls should be re-moved from their pans immediate-ly after baking so they will not steam and become soggy. If you like a soft crust on rolls, brush them with melted butter as soon as you 'tnish bakine. No Purse Problem V b--V hi , .

Usually three inches or slightly more is best. Firm crinoline or buskram are fabrics which are best. In measuring the turning neces-sary tor the heading, decide first on the depth of the pleat, then turn the top edge in two inches more than this measure, allow a double turn so the buckram will not show. WheD measuring the buckram, measure two inches from the edge, because the top stiffening should not extend to the outside hem of French-pleate- d curtains. It's also possible to use washable buckram banding made with eye-lets to form the French pleats. No rings are needed. The curtain pole is slipped right through the eye-lets, thus giving the necessary pleat. If you are putting In the shrink-age tuck of two to four inches, put this in at the top in a narrow head-ing above the casing. Or, to avoid the shrinkage tuck, wash the curtain material before sewing and it will shrink as much as it is going to, and oo allowance need be made. lAGE AGilfl SORETONE Liniment's " Heating Pad Action Gives Quick Relief' i For fast, gentle relief of aches from back iinin muscle strain, lumbago pain, due to fatigue ' posure, use the liniment specially made to iooth) o such symptoms.

"Mother was left penniless, but she resumed her old profession of teaching and we had some happy years, we three together. Our little four-roo-apartment was full of love and harmony and Lily and I wanted only to be with mother for the rest of our lives. "When mother married the fam-ily doctor, a widower," the letter goes on, "what has proved to be a fatal injury to my development took place. I was not conscious of it then, naturally, but the seeds of what grew to be absolute morbid-ity were sown then. Sense Of Injustice "Our stepfather loved Lily and me, but two boy babies came to take our places, and at 12 and 14 we were sent to boarding school. Our happy country summers and the letters and packafces from Mother never could remove our sense of deep injustice and it has colored both our lives. Lily never married and has worked for years in the county home for mental cases. I have married twice unsuccessfully ahd now feel that while my present husband is an absolute angel, I am too sick, weary and disillusioned to be a good wife for him or good mother to my boys, now 17 and S years old. "It was my psychoanalyst who, searching painstakingly through my past, unearthed this unhappy situa-tion in my girlhood and has helped destiny it is to complicate further rather than help straighten out this enigma that is life. Some 40,000 of us die in auto crashes every year, so that detail didn't particularly distinguish these little sisters. Terrible, but it's 'the truth. And as for a pretty mother, at 29, taking a second mate, for happy years of motherhood and com-panionship was that such a crime never to be forgiven? "Mother," says anothei part of Diana's letter, "was always trying to make us like Uncle Rob, as we called her husband. But we saw through her devices." In other words, you and Lily were ungracious little jealous minxes and did all you could to ruin your mother's chances for happiness in her marriage. I'm all for modern psychological methods when they deal with the problems of the immediate present. Many good doctors and teachers and all good mothers know how to handle those cases that arise in connection with almost every child's development Their adroit-ness in analysis and method is amusingly evident to those of us who can remember our own young vagaries, inhibitions 'and fixations only under simpler names. As long as the psychologists take to-day, tell their patients just what's wrong today, then I'm with them. But when they encourage us to dig into the past, to discover that at four months one's bottle was late in arriving and at three years Mother said she already had kissed us goodnight and was going downstairs now and that these heinous crimes lived on and malignantly affected all our later years, then that is sheer nonsense. Silly? You'll find all these in-stances solemnly portrayed in a recent moving picture that sup-posedly represents a woman's ex-perience in a madhouse. These are the causes that sent her there. . , too sici and weary . . ." me enormously by putting the blame for this injustice where it belongs on the accident that rob-bed me of my father and my mother's second marriage." This is only part of a let-ter, which I have not answered. It takes more patience than I possess to sympathize with such a woman. And yet she is typical of actual hundreds who write me every year that fancied slights in-justices and disadvantages far back in their perfectly normal, everyday, American childhoods, have upset their mental balances for life. It has become the fashion to seek back for something Mother or Dad did or something they left undone and lay today's stupidities, resent-ments, failures and flaws In char-acte- i all to that. Must Compensate For Wrongs But, good heavens, which one of us hasn't suffered wrongs far deeper than these imaginary ones Diana lists here, not once, but all through our younger years! Par-ents will have favorites, teachers will put the blame on the wrong child, and young bewilderment and confusion will lead children into embarrassing and humilating mo-rasses. Unless we make up our minds, at 5 or 7 or even earlier, that that's the way the stupid world of grownups is and develop iome sort of shell, philosophy or spiritual balance to offset it. we shall gro up like Lily and Diana lopsided human ' beinss whose wretched THE GARDEN SPOT Beware of Over-Cultivati- on By Eldred E. Green "TAKE IT EASY. You'll live longer," is a common saying and in the garden you will enjoy yourself more if you apply that principle. The most pathetic garden is the one that started out early In the spring as a grand affair and then fizzled out as the hot weather caus-ed the worker to "done run out of ambition'' as one lady put it. The first factor is soil prepara-tion. A clay, loam or any stiff soil is benefitted by a turning to loosen it up Plowing, spading, or rotary tilling will do the job. In hand spad-ing remember that you do not plant all the garden at once. Dig it as you need it. This will save back-aches and keep a crop of weeds from starting on the soil that is the plants are to be set. The area in between can be taken care of later Heavy soils will be aided if rotted humus of some kind is worked in. Leaves, old sawdust, manure, peat, compost are all valuable This can be, mixed in when the soil Is pre-pared Generally a depth of eight inches is enough for most plants. Trees and large shrubs may heed more Cultivation in the garden should be limited to one idea: killing weeds,. In lawns and around shrubs the new preparations of are fine; in the garden a light noeing or scuffing of the soil is generally sufficient. Watering is a chore unless a hose is able to reach. Watering and weeding can be kept to a minimum or eliminated if a good mulch is used Dried leaves, grass clippings, straw old manure sawdust or strips, of heavy, weighted paper can be used to cover the soil be-tween plants or around larger ones. The mulch prevents weeds from takinp hold and keeps the soil from drying out. Fertilizing may seem difficult but in the home garden a sack of a complete plant food is the best and cheapest way of adding fertility Manure is excellent if it can be ob-- i tained and worked into the soil. Testing for individual elements may be a pleasant pastime but the amount of special chemicals needed in must cm be more easily added in a ready-mixe- balanced formula Pests may cause trouble but now there are many preparations that will control all of the garden pests with one spray These combination products have been supplemented to good advantage b DDT which most of rhprr rnnttn turned too long ahead Sandy or light soils may need only a raking to fit them for plant-ing I"he soil needs to be loose: that is all In planting large peienmals as peonies cr trees and shrubs, the soil neei only be prepared where U.S. Filming Old Documents Microfilm to Preserve Records for Posterity A campaign to save part of the world's cultural heritage is being carried on by the United States library of congress. A library of congress laboratory In Mexico City, Mexico, has photo-graphed 20,000 historical docu-ments of northern Mexico. The li-brary operates a second laboratory in Japan. A third project, still in the planning stage, is photograph-ing medieval manuscripts of value in St. Catherine's monastery in Palestine. George T. Smisor, head of the Mexico laboratory unit, recently re-turned from Washington where he conferred with library of congress officials. "Both the state department and the library," said Smisor, "feel a responsibility for cooperating to preserve documents throughout the world, documents that are a part of our heritage and part of our cul-ture. "The United States is the only country in the world with the ex-perience and the desire to do it." The desire entails plenty of bard work. Men from Smisor's unit have ridden muleback across Mexico's bleak Sierras to photograph pre-cious manuscripts in old colonial towns. They have, to date, pnt on film the complete cabfldos (reoords of city councils) for Durango from the 16th century to the iime of Benito Juarez, the middle 19th cen-tury Durango was a big operating base for the early church father!. |
