Show ? ! MILLARD COUNTY CHRONTCLE. DELTA. UTAH II Be Smart! "l Much of the drama of the new season's frocks is in the skirt treatment. Sketched here are two of the most popular inter-pretations. At the left, in a small print on a tie type silk is the peg top skirt, which is meet-ing with an enthusiastic accept-ance among the slender, youth-ful wearers. The full skirt at the right is made unusual with the manipulation of the stripes, also in tie silk, and the tiny front panel with pleats on the side. The bolero, too, is all the more interesting for its play of stripes. i t WOMAN'S WORLD i Pretty Aprons Make Housework Gayer By Ertta Haley YOU succeed in looking pret-ty DO at home? Or, do you hate hearing someone knock on your door because they will see you in an unattractive, dirty dress or a torn apron? Aprons are so easy to make and j quickly put together that no woman who works at home need ever look shabby. Use pretty bib aprons when you're doing the really big cleaning or cooking jobs, then make a quick change into a frilly organdy or plastic half apron, and you'll look your best. Those of us who like to sew are having a real field day with fabrics. There's such a variety available, and everything is so colorful and pretty, it seems like it's more fun to sew than almost anything else. Sheer organdies, colorful plastics, a finely woven broadcloth and i other materials are all good basic materials for aprons, j Women have collections of aprons as hobbies; others make money for incidentals by sewing aprons for ' j others; and few women feel they ever have enough of them for every occasion. All of these make aprons ' a big and wonderful topic for con- - the plastic materials. Light pinks, yellows, blues and greens are popu-lar in both prints and solid colors. No matter what the task, the apron is easily cleaned and wiped dry be-tween towels in a matter of min-utes, so it will always be fresh. Here are Tips For Plastic Sewing When you sew with the plastics, plan to do it on a fairly cool day so that the material will be pliable while you work with it. Never have the stitching too small and avoid tightness while sewing. Practice the stitching on a few scraps of material before putting the apron through the sew-ing machine. Let the plastic run easily through the machine needles, without at-tempting to stretch or pull it. This prevents getting the material out of shape and makes sewing much easier. Whether you're making work aprons or hostess types, the aprons will be more attractive when light-ened with clever edgings or appli-ques. Make your own appliques, or buy ready-mad- e ones which simply need to be attached. ; sideration. j . Attractive Patterns Make Sewing Fun The day of the shapeless and humdrum apron is past. The apron Select Colors, Fabrics That are Suitable If there's a color which you avoid in clothing, observe the same rule when selecting material for an apron. By the same token, choose those colors which are flattering to you in dresses. Many varieties and colors are now available for aprons, and you can afford to be as discriminating as possible. Darker colors have always been favored for the work aprons, but no longer do these need to be a hodge-podg- e of prints that are not attractive. When you do choose the darker colors, lighten them with a bright, contrasting trimming' on the bib or pockets (where wear and dirt do not show. If you choose checks and plaids, or even prints for the work apron, 1 : Make pretty hostess aprons .... of the present is made from attrac- - tive patterns, good material, fine stitching and almost as careful ':!

These, too, can be decorated to suit the occasion. Then, again, if you are rushed for time, there may be some simple dessert which will take less time than the layer cake and its elabor-ate topping. Look through the tips I'm giving you today if you want unusual ways to celebrate birth-days. ...

(Reduce milk to one and three fourths cups if a thicker filling is desired.) Cool, stirring occasional-ly. Add one half cup coconut. Turn into pie shell. Beat egg whites until foamy throughout. Add sugar, one table-spoon at a time, beating after each addition until sugar is blended. Then continue beating until mixture stands in peaks. Pile lightly on top of filling. Bake in a moderate (350) oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cup coconut and continue baking five minutes longer, or un-til delicately browned. Candles are easily arranged on the pie if you simply melt a drop of wax on the plate and stick the candle in it. Another idea uses marshmallows for candles. In this case, candles must be small, of course, to avoid top heaviness. Here's another idea for pie, if you want to carry out the same treatment suggested above for candle arrangement. This is a light, airy chiffon pie, butterscotch in flavor: Butterscotch Chiffon Pie (Makes one pie) 1 baked, pie shell 1 tablespoon plain, unflavored gelatin Vt cup water 3 eggs, separated t cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1 cup scalded milk 2 tablespoons butter Vi teaspoon salt M teaspoon vanilla extract V cup granulated sugar Soak gelatin in cold water for tve minutes.

Not the vulgar, violent, drinking, but enough to make the women they love unhappy, and destroy their children's confidence and respect. Phil and Martha Anderson have three young daughters, a lovely home, a fine position in the commu-nity, and Phil is junior member of a successful law partnership. Both Phil and Martha have war records of useful service here and over-seas; in short, the Andersons are typical of America's finest stock. They have everything membership in a pleasant, unpretentious coun-try club, a car, a garden, a sum-mer camp, friends, amusements and the three sparkling little daughters. "But every time we go to a party," says Martha's letter, "Phil drinks himself silly and noisy and assertive, and embarrasses me so terribly that I have begun actually to dread social occasions. To him, as the cocktails go on and on, this seems very funny. He thinks he is a great story-telle- r and insists on monopolizing the center of the stage. Anything I say to him, to try to quiet him down, he shouts out loud, making it part of the fun. Wife Can't Reach Him "I love my husband. I am 37, he is four years older. We have had an unusually happy married life. But I can't reach him on this. When we leave the evening party, what-ever it is, he asks me to drive home, and goes to sleep against my shoulder. I put the car away and go upstairs to find him stumb-ling his way slowly to bed. There is no use talking to him then, for gotten, and hilariously ignore the hints of the shamed and- anxious women. Conversation becomes in-deed a lost art, and the friendly fireside a spot from which some of the guests are anxious to escape. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this except in Phil's mind and will. He could end it once and for all by strict limiting of his drink-ing, or by choosing some less potent form of refreshment. But until in all humility he sees the situation, sees what he is doing to his wife, his children and his entire social circle, there is no hope. Outside pressure will not affect these con-vivial gentlemen, for the second cocktail robs them of reasoning power, and everything goes into a golden haze. Especially trying to the wife, and again delaying any prospect of re-form, is the fact that the men and women all about Phil are not at all unwilling that he shall make a fool of himself. The host considers it a duty to urge more drink upon everyone, even against the protecting hands and the voices that say "Oh, please, no. No more!" And also distressing Is Phil's con-fident assertion that he only drinks for the social fun of it and could stop tomorrow. I have known hundreds of men who made their womenkind un-happy for years with their evening potations, yet who really could stop short, and did so when their health was in question. Many, of course, find then that it is too late, and all the physical ills they have been piling up with sud denly land on them. Then Martha must assume the part of patient and sympathetic nurse, and a glance about the elderly persons of your acquaintance will show you how often and how generously she does. . . . he shouts it out loud . . . he simply doesn't hear. When he comes downstairs for breakfast, fresh and cheerful, it is ungracious to start in with reproaches. "However, I have tried that, and tried quiet talks with him when we are alone, at other times. He is irritated by my reproof, says he thought we had a mightly good time the previous night and wishes I wouldn't begin to moralize every time he takes a drink too much. If he embarrassed me, he's sorry, and that's that. "This problem," the letter ends, "isn't mine alone. Many of my friends have the same reason to dread that mood when everything seems salubrious and nothing is too silly, or even too vulgar, to say. This is no case for Alcoholics Anonymous; Phil would laugh at the idea that a man who holds his own with such dignity in the busi-ness world, and is so trusted, should be humiliated and made ridiculous. But what is the cure, and what can I do?" Common Problem In answer, I must observe that you say a very true thing, Martha, when you say the problem is a common one. At every night club and restaurant and in many, many homes, one sees this wretched situ-ation. Men don't knock their wives down or go out to lie in gut-ters, but they hurt them just as deeply as if they did.

Green large flowers for showy flower ar-rangements. Annual larkspur and annual phlox both will be found useful if planted early. They generally slow up in hot weather and will need to be followed by some other annual. . Flowering tobacco or Nicotine Is useful for tall effect. The flowers are very fragrant especially at night There are some dwarf odor-less red forms. Asters are superb for fall cutting. There are tall and short kinds and many colors. For best results se-lect kinds, for this disease may be serious in some 1 t j EVERY GARDEN needs a few ' packets of seeds to round out the J flowering season. There are many j of the old favorites that cannot be grown as perennials, or other condi- - tions may make a permanent In- - ' j vestment in perennials foolish. As we mentioned before annuals '. as well as vegetables must be sown at the right time. Some come from j cool olimates and must be sown early, like the sweet peas, while many others come from the tropics and must be grown only in the warmer months. The list of annual flowers is a long one. The seed catalogs make one dizzy. For variety try a packet ' or so of some of the ones you do not know. It will certainly add in- - terest to your garden. While a complete flower garden can be made up of annuals, much . of their value lies in the number of flowers they produce for bouquets. They can be planted right in the vegetable garden in rows or they can be planted in beds or in groups between shrubs or perennials in the flower garden. Sweet peas will need sowing as soon as the ground can be worked. A deep rich soil is needed. There ' are some new kinds that do fairly well in warm weather but they are best in moist cool regions. ' Calendulas and Cosmos are among the plants that give good effect, Plant early for best development, .j There are many fine new colors in both of these. Snapdragons will do well if sown early or if planted in a coldframe for earliest flowers. , Some of the new ones are gigantic in size, with a striking color range, They can be cut again and again, Zinnias and Marigolds are among the best for cutting. There are j ' giants and dwarfs in these two ;i ; groups and a variety of colors. The ! i dwarfs are especially, useful for j planting along edges of beds and :; : for use in low centerpieces or small vases. The tall kinds will go nicely ' between perennials and give lots of i " ::H j: places. These can be started in seed beds and the plants transplanted when other annuals start to die out. While the best use of annuals is to supply the house with flowers for bouquets, there are many others that are excellent in the garden, such as Petunias and Verbenas for edging. Morning glories for fences and trellis, Mignonette for perfume, and Strawflowers for drying. A good garden soil, enriched with fertilizer if necessary, plus good sun and water in dry periods are the minimum requirements for most an-nuals if they're sown at the proper time. Rescue Heroes Singled Out Two Men Lauded In Well Tragedy SAN MARINO, CALIF. Heroes of the futile attempt to save Kathy Fiscus from death in an abandoned well were many. But two were singled out as "top heroes" of the rescue efforts in which many risked their lives repeatedly. They were Homer E. (Whitey) Blickensderfer, a hard rock miner from Rosemead, Calif., and O. A. Kelly, 49, a machinist of Temple City, Calif. Both were 'near collapse when "Operations Kathy" finally rolled to a stop the lifeless body of the little girl taken away in a car. The Blickensderfei collapsed after returning from the cramped confines of the rescue shaft where he dug with his hand.' to deepen the shaft. He foughi cave-in- water and time. Despite doctors' orders, "Blick" returnee again and again to the hole aftei a brief rest, but fatigue overcame him and he was taken to a hospital Kelly, too, saw the final stage: of the operations from a cot.
