In this season of the coat, yon can choose a double duty coat that gives you the effect of a redingote dress, plus an ever so wide versatility in your wardrobe.

Or, you may assemble your own basic outfit, with an eye to the other teammates, present or future.

It's a good idea to baste the dress and press it, then try on and check fit carefully before do-ing the permanent stitching. Should the dress be too large to look attractive or too loose for comfort, make the tucks at the waist, under the arms or on the shoulders large enough to take up the excess. When the dress is too snug, let out some of the tucks and see if you can't give yourself additional room by making the side seams slightly smaller. Redingote Ensembles Are Popular Redingote ensembles are the favorite fashion among more ma-ture women or among those who must look well groomed, well dressed, crisp and business-like- . With the new prints now available as well as with the luscious, solid-colore-lightweight woolens, these fashions will be among the most popular ones made at home. Smart women select not only one print for the woolen coat that but-tons down the front, but two so they will have an easy change of costume. 1 By Ertta Haley J nTOUS FABRICS and new, styles await those nting 0Ge" wi are .handy with the f .no like to whip together booe on the sewing ma- - ,an) field: ft feel of the new . ?(!

Should you want to save on sew-ing, skip the bolero and make a scarf or a cape. Fringe, which is so smart for the new season, may be purchased by the yard and used to finish the edge of the scarf. Fit Your Patterns Carefully No matter how excellent your pattern, it will not do ou Justice unless you fit it to yourself. Very few of us coincide with pattern measurements and this means slight adjusting. Those of you who have had ex-perience altering clothes know It's much easier to take in a dress that's too large than to enlist material for use in a dress that's too small. The same is true of pat-terns. It's better to buy the next size larger in a pattern if you have one or two measurements in excess of those given on it. Tucks are easy to take on those portions in which you have smaller measurements. Patterns do not run the same sizes as ready-mad- e dresses, so it's best to check measurements be-fore buying.

KATHLEEN NORRIS No Life Is Wholly Without Hope By KATHLEEN NORRIS "fpHIS IS NOT a letter of com- - plaint," writes Rena Janzen, 19 years old. "It is to ask you a question. Is there anything ahead in my life that will make today's difficulties and humiliations worth while? "We live on the fourth floor of a New York City apartment house far downtown," the letter goes on. "It is one of the thousands of high, crowded brick ten ments that form more than half of this city. The ones down our way are old-er, dirtier, more crowded. We have four rooms: parlor, kitchen, two bedrooms, bath. There are eight of us: my young brothers of 17, 13 and 7, a sister of 11, Grand-ma, Mother and Dad. Joe and Matt sleep in the parlor; Henry with Mother and Dad; Grandma, my sister and I have a room so small that there is no space for a chair. Grandma's mattress is under the three-quart- bed, and under the bed are also my brushes and make-up, a box with spare blouses, Anya's school-book- and Grand-ma's black valise. on your own. Fix your thoughts upon that little country home with the flowers and open spaces about it, and it will begin to take shape and move toward you as steadily as tomorrow's dawn. Out of just such sordid, crowded, noisy, squalid, odorous environ-ments as the one you describe have come thousands yes, mil-lions, of our men and women who now occupy suburban homes, who have flowers, a car, fresh suitable clothing, pleasant plentiful meals in a word, happy, busy, useful lives. Some have risen to 'actual wealth and power, but you will be satisfied with less than that, and you can win it. In 10 or 15 years many of these neighbors you pity will be busy in important work: Secretaries, buyers, superintendents, politicians, dress designers, movie and radio performers, living the kind of life you now consider unattainable. What your father and mother and grandmother have, after their terrors in their own country, their suffering and privation, seems to them riches. Good food, light, amusements, education for their children, clinics and shops and movies accessible these to them represent luxury. These things are not enough for you, and you are right. You are exercising your inherent and glo-rious American right to go farther; to give your children a better start than you have had. Work and plan toward that day, as all these hur-ried, crowded, under-privileged boys and girls about you are doing. Live in the Kitchen "Of course we all live in the kitchen. It is smelly and noisy In summer, and hot as only city kitchens get hot; in winter It is smelly and noisy and hardly warm-er than the rest of the house. Only the halls are warmed. "I will leave to your imagination what chance a girl has of beauty, leisure, rest, hospitality in a life like mine," writes Rena. "Papa is an angel, he works steadily, he has the tired look of an old saint. Mother works hard. They would move us to some better place, but . , . the look of s tired saint . . . we pay $80 now, and can afford no more. Joe wants to be a doctor; the nearest he gets is being an or-derly in a hospital. "Now my problem isn't what frightens me," the letter ends, "but the terrible, the overwhelm-ing fact that so many thousands of lives all about me are as utterly hopeless as mine. Girls crowding into subways, punching time-clock-snatching sandwiches and cokes at lunch, wearing cheap clothes to Coney on summer Sun-days or waiting in line at cheap movies on winter nights. Why are we here, what are we doing all this for, how do we get out of it? I dream of a little country place, flowers, space, cleanliness but what good are dreams? Parents Knew Poverty "Mother and father are They knew poverty and ter-ror in the old world. They escaped to this.

Good Readers Need Patience 300 Words a Minute Held Possible Pace NEW YORK, N. Y. If it takes you more than three minutes to read a story "you are wasting valuable time." This is the contention of Dr. J. Wayne Wright-ston- e, assistant director in charge of tests and measurements for the board of education, who asserts that there is no valid reason why any adult of average intelligence cannot read at the rate of 300 words per minute. Although it takes only a few hours' practice to acquire good reading habits and speed, Dr. Wrightstone says that 80 per cent of the adult population of this city need improvement in their read-ing. 1 All that is required to be a good reader and to be able to complete an average sized novel in five hours is patience, per-severance and proper judg-ment, according to Dr. Wright-ston- Proper judgment, he exclaimed, enables a good reader to tell which passage he can scan and which he must scrutinize. This is the tech-nique employed by most book re-viewers and as a result they can achieve a reading speed of 500 to 600 words per minute. Dr. Wrightstone's own reading rate is 500 words per minute, which, he adds, "is why I would never make a good copy reader I read too fast." Of all the reading faults, he said, the most common is that of "vocal-ization." Some "vocalizers" mnmble out loud; others "keep quiet but allow their throat muscles to form words, therby slowing the reading process." The second most common fault is to read words one by one, instead of reading groups of words. Foi example: The poor reader pauses after each word. The good reader, however, needs only one or two pauses to completi the sentence. |
