They were never more charming than they are this season with their youthful and flattering ways. There's the great influence of the bonnet, and more than a touch of the newly revived cloche. But, then, the pert little sailor is as fresh and crisp looking as ever. ' It's versatile with gingham, chambray, linen and may well burst forth in pastels and bril-liants. Yes, the sailor justifies its popularity with satisfactory service and smart-ness. 1 WOMAN'S WORLD Hard Washing Will Weaken Fabrics many of the clothes. White collars do not become old and yellow look-ing if you dry them week after week. As for colored clothes, from which stains cannot be removed by bleaching, it's wonderful how sunshine works. Many of the stains are bleached by gentle sunlight, and colors take on a new, refreshed look. If you are fortunate enough to be able to dry your clothes out-side, you'll also appreciate the beneficial properties of the wind or breeze. You don't have to shake out clothes carefully as the breeze will puff them out and get rid of the wrinkles you would otherwise have to iron out. Save Ironing Time By Proper Preparation Remember the tight knots into which women wound clothes to get them ready for ironing? Experts now tell us to lay clothes flat and fold them as little as possible. It's not wise to dampen clothes too heavily either for ironing if you're interested in time-savin- g practices. In fact, if you can re-move clothing from the line in a slightly damp state, they can be folded neatly then ironed. By Ertta Haley PROGRESS has been GREAT in the field of fabrics during the last 10 and 20 years. This progress has gone hand in hand with strides made in the laundering of those materials. If, however, you are still follow ing ancient laundering methods and wondering why clothes don't last, then take a good look at your laundering habits. Are you setting the clothes down in strong soap solution and letting them soak all night? Do you run the washing machine for a long period of time In an effort to get them clean? Do you rub collars and cuffs on the board j. and wonder why they fray? These are outmoded habits and have no place in modern launder- - tag methods. Take a vacation from rough laundering methods, learn a bit about the new rules, and see how delightfully clean the clothes will be with much less effort and work. You'll be saving on the cloth-ing budget, too. Prolonged Soaking Weakens Material Contrary to the general belief that the dirtier the clothes, the longer they should be soaked, over-night soaking is not a good idea. Prolonged soaking not only weak-ens the fibers but opens them and lets the soil become more deeply lodged. Even the most heavily soiled clothes such as work shirts and overalls covered with factory grease or farm soil or youngsters' dirty play clothes, should be soaked for no longer than 15 to 20 minutes. If clothes are soaked In a sink or a laundry tub, fill with luke-warm water and add enough soap to make two inches of suds. The way to get the most good out of soaking is to place them in an Make up the third tub full of clothing which is lightly colored and slightly soiled. From here you can go on to the dark socks and heavily soiled clothing. If the water, during any of these tubs, gets too dirty, change it. No matter how long you run the washing machine, clothes will re-main dirty looking if the water is dirty. Heavily soiled clothes, particular-ly, should be washed in a load by themselves. With a good modern washer, the time of the washing process can' be regulated to the degree of soil. About minutes Ms Follow approved methods agitator type washer. The agitated soak is a sort of which helps to make the regular washing more effective on heavily soiled garments. , Fill the washer as for regular washing, but with lukewarm water. With the agitator going, add one-ha- lf the usual amount of soap. When the suds have been worked up, turn off the machine and put the clothes in for soaking. Separate Clothes Into Groups Anyone who has done home laun-dry realizes the dismay a colored sock can cause in a wash load of the towels and linens. For this reason, separate the clothes Into different loads for washing. Lightly soiled clothes and white clothes are washed in the first tub. Then come the less soiled fabrics such as napkins, towels. For laundering east. In medium hot water (120-- ) will wash play and work clothes clean with no rubbing and scrubbing.

He had told me that the wife was a brillant woman, but unlucky. She had many gifts but she didn't seem able to succeed with any venture, even in the great city where every-one we knew was either painting, or singing, acting, dancing, or writ-ing writing anything; essays, stor-ies, poems, advertisements, sce-narios. Not everyone was success-ful then, but everyone confidently expected to be, sooner or later, and almost everyone was. But not Olive. I knew her for 25 years after that first bridal din-ner and she never did anything ex-cept talk about her bad luck. She played the piano delightfully; she was one of the wittiest women I ever knew, but somehow she got small pleasure out of either gift, and even socially she was always left behind. Thought Only of Self Her trouble was that she could think of nothing but herself, and of what everyone else wa's thinking of her. That everyone else might possibly have something better to think of never crossed her mind. Olive was Like all d women she was ab-normally sensitive and managed to make anything and everything that was said in her hearing im-mediately applicable to herself. So at the first dinner, when we were both young women, poor, am-bitious, adventurous, determined that New York should give us the would want to invite, all sorts of notables to a celebration dinner, and the dinner would be a dreary, pretentious failure, and the Scotts would be right back where they started. Meanwhile, simpler folk, much less gifted men and women indeed, were finding their feet profession-ally, quite unashamed of shabby rooms and hospitality that involved the services of all the guests, and sometimes their contributions of butter or salad oil or red apples from the stand at the corner. Auto-matically they were migrating to the picturesque old barns and farm-houses of Long Island and New England, automatically they were drawing to themselves the fame, modest or great, the financial comfort, the friends for which poor Olive hungered all through her days. Only a year or two ago I saw Arthur again, and all the time he chattered the joyous nonsense that had been bottled up in him 40 years ago. His first book was a success he was 64 when it was published and he is busy with- - another, and everything about his life, clothes, food, friendships, hospitality, talk, has taken on the wonderful quality we call ease. Poor Olive had robbed him of all that, and robbed herself, too, because of that sense of personal importance, or pride, or false val-ues. Young wives, are happier when they realize that the first thought ought to be for the other person's comfort. Nobody minds mistakes, shortages, haphazard domestic ar-rangement when all the world is young and everyone is financially in about the same boat. But every-one hates fussiness, apologies, and the uncomfortable hostess whose one thought is how to Impress rath-er than please her guests, and who reduces all of life's problems to the first person singular, making of herself a trouble-cente- V . , . played the piano delightfully . . . opportunity it had given so many others, Olive was obsessed with trifles. She apologized for the din-ner napkins; she fluttered about the shortage of forks, she inter-rupted the conversation, just as it got under way, with nervous asides to her husband and to the bewil-dered amateur waitress who had been hired for the occasion. If a guest hesitated one second in at-tacking his food, Olive's eager apologies were there. "You don't like mint sauce? Oh, dear, dear. The lamb is cold. Arthur sorry to interrupt you, dear, but this meat is stone cold. I did want things to be nioe. Every-thing in Mother's house was so perfect. You'll think me quite un-civilized; I know there should be candles for dinner, but this room is so deplorably dark. Dreadful apartment, but all we could get." Apologies Spoiled It And so on and on. All through the years Olive flustered herself and everyone near' her with her fluttered pretentiousness. If one met her downtown all the pleasure of an unexpected encounter was spoiled by apologies. "This dreadful old hat. But what can poor folk like us do? My dear, I know it's my turn for a party, but poor Arthur missed his commission, you know. I took my poor little play to Brady he was very kind, but he looked at my hands. I told him dishwashing and playwriting didn't go very well together, and poor me, I began to cry. Well, of course that made him impatient " Olive not only never did any-thing worth-whil- but she some-how held Arthur back, too. He was a clever writer, had a near-succes- s or two. But then Olive THE GARDEN SPOT : Newest Fruits Please Palate By Eldred E. Green dium height bushes. It has been in-terbred with Asiatic plums to give the cherry-plu- hybrids. These are large sweet cherry-lik- e fruits on small bushes. Oka has black fruits and Compass has red ones. Apricots have been created from hardy Chinese and Manchurian BIG JUICY PLUMS, large sweet cherries, golden apricots. No long-er are these fruits store items. You, too, can grow these fine fruits in your own garden. Pioneering in the development of new hardy fruits was the experi-ment station at Brookings, S. D. Here Dr. Hansen worked with the wild fruits and interbred them with hardy kinds from other parts of the world. Other Institutions and per-sons have since added to this and now there are many excellent kinds for the Middlewest. Most of these new plants are just the right size for the home garden. Plums are always welcome, but the old kinds that came from Europe will not grow well much beyond Pennsylvania, except in favorable spots. The new American plums have been developed from the wild plum and do not grow into very large trees. They can withstand low temperatures and will grow In most any situation. Waneta is a medium size red plum. Opata has a red skin and green flesh. Sapa is a solid red, skin and flesh. Hanska has redskin wSth a bluish color. Red Wing Is dark red. Monitor is bronzy red. Golden Minnesota is a yellow. Most of these will produce fruit when only three or four feet high. Some varieties, as Sapa, can be grown in bush form. The plants are very productive. Even if you can grow the older kinds of prune-plum- s these new ones will prove to be highly desirable for eating, canning or preserving, as well as early bear-ing. Cherries have not been over-looked. The Hansen Bush Cherry is a very large sweet form of the western sand cherry that is hardy and adaptable. The fruits are large and produced abundantly on me- - plants to give several fine hardy varieties. Superb is a deep orange fruit. Early Golden is yellow and ripens early in the season. Manchu is orange color. All are self Plums and cherries need cross pollination to Insure a good set of fruit so two or more varities should be included In every planting. These new fruits will increase the value and variety of your garden. In addition there are new early bearii g apples like the Anoka and Lodi. Many older varities of apples and years may be obtained as dwarfs to Increase the value ol your garden Animal Laws Plague Solons Dogs Hound People. Who Write Measures CHICAGO The dogs are hound-ing the men and women who write state laws. Bird bills have brought out pointed differences. Cats on the prowl have caused considerable caterwauling. Goats, too, have butted into the proceedings. Everything, you might say, loose-ly, wants to get into an act. A bill introduced in the Arkan-sas legislature would have pro-vided a bounty for citizens who killed untaxed dogs. The sponsor said dogs were killing livestock. The house killed the bill. An Illinois proposal would make the owner liable for damages if his dog bit anybody who was "peacefully conducting himself in a place where he may lawfully be." Postmen, milkmen, and meter readers were all for it. The leg-islators were told that letter car-riers were attacked by dogs 650 times last year. Also that the cost of replacing a pair of postman's pants is $14.75. There is a similar measure in Missouri. But it draws a fine line. If the dog bit an invited guest, the guest couldn't sue. The senate and house In New Hampshire are trying to give each other the bird. The senate nominated the New Hampshire red hen as the official state bird. The house nominated the chickadee. The coyote was named as the offi-cial animal of South Dakota. The Great Dane has been proposed as the official doa of Pennsylvania. |
