WOMAN'S WORLD Add Glamour to Wardrobe by Sewing Own Accessories Circular Skirt Style By Ertta Haley Whether you're clothes budget conscious or simply want to put your own ingenuity to work, your wardrobe can undoubtedly benefit by accessories of your own making. The woman who can afford only a few items basic to the wardrobe can expand it almost indefinitely by making attractive accessories for it. On the other hand, even though they can afford to go out and buy gloves, purses, scarves and other such items, many women prefer to make their own because they feel they can get something original and different. You don't have to be an expert on sewing to add these clever and at-tractive touches to the wardrobe. Neither do you have to expend a lot I -- Cr n 1 i 1, 1 .. J you might try trimming off some of the brim since, most of the new hats in this style have rather narrow brims. Change the angle at which you've been wearing it, too, if that's a help. Picture brimmed hats need not be new. Cleaned and refreshed, they, too, can take on a new look. One of the easiest ways to bring them back into circulation is to cut off some brim and to sew some stiff veiling or ribbon around the outer-most edge. Add a hat band to match or contrast your dress, and possibly a bow, and see what these will do. Remodeling Helps Stretch Slender Wardrobes Easily It's a truth of long standing that your wardrobe is what you make it, rather than what your present bud-get happens to offer. If, in previous seasons you purchased wisely, you'll bless those days now for many of these clothes can be used. Even though clothes are worn thin in spots, a few remodeling tricks can give them the magic that yields another season or two of satisfac-tory wear. Long, full sleeves on blouses which have worn out at the arm-hole-for instance, can be cut off entirely to give you a sleeveless blouse which is so popular right now. If you don't have a skirt, get right into fashion by making a brightly printed, circular type. There you have a costume that Is strictly fashion-righ- t. Tailored blouses particularly yield themselves to having their sleeves cut off entirely. Simply bind the sleeve edge, and you may wear the blouse with not only the skirt just mentioned, but also with suits which always can use an extra blouse. Collar and cuff fashions lend themselves to many provocative changes on clothing. One of the newest is the stand-u- p collar that can be made for any good basic dress. If you like, add some inter-esting large cuffs to a short or long sleeved dress or blouse. Use some of the new fabrics with inter-esting textures to give the dress the desired lift. Old boleros take on a great deal of interest if they're lined with a bright new print. Add a bow of this same print to your hat, and you have a brand new outfit. Long rows of buttons may be added to bodices or slender skirts for a decorative touch that, is both new and novel. Purses and Gloves Yield Themselves to Treatment Unless gloves are so worn as to be cast out, then take them aside for renovating. The efforts to give them a lift are so little yet so re-warding In results. With the Interest in decorative cuffs on gloves you can see what an easy matter it is to change an old pair Into something that looks like it came out of a fashion window. Ruffles of nylon, gathers of fine lace or embroidery work are all good techniques to apply to old gloves. Among the most popular of current fashions is the full sweeping circular skirt shown here with an encircling mule train design inspired by a Cali-fornia fashion expert. With their flopping ears and flirtatious eyes, the mules are set against a stippled background. The sim-ple puffed sleeved blouse is of solid colored cotton broad-cloth. old sailor hats knocking about in the back of the closet, here are some good ideas for them. When you get through remodeling them, you won't be able to recognize the old hats. Sailor hats, because of their reg-ularity, are easy to cover with new material. This might be some ma-terial from a dress you've just made or a small piece of fabric picked up at the remnant counter Pep your wardrobe with a skirt . . of time and energy making them. The rewards, however, are far greater than you would dream: the pleasures of creating, the inter-esting effects for the wardrobe and your friends' praise of your Ingen-uity. Take, for example, the case of the girl who could afford only an inexpensive sun dress. It fitted her nicely and looked attractive but since she had to wear it all season long, she took steps to get three different dresses out of it. Her first step was to make a cape jacket for it so the dress could be appropriately worn for going shop-ping as well as calling instead of just a sports' tog. This took less than a yard of material in a contrasting color and about two hours to make. It gives her an "extra dress." Her next step consisted of buying still another piece of contrasting material. This was used for making a scallopped cuff which snapped around the top of the bodice. This gave her still another change for the original dress. Make Old Hats Do Extra Duty If you feel that summery hats are a poor investment, then you probably haven't used them to their fullest wearability. Of course you can refresh veiling and change flowers or remove one or both, but even that doesn't always give you enough wear to make them worth buying. Just in case you have one or two or a renovated haU which will give just the contrasting note you need with some summer clothes. Fabric, felt or straw may be cov-ered in this way since you need only to cut the material to fit. It's easy to tack on with small stitches. ' You might make a belt or purse cover with the same material if there's enough left, and thus give yourself matched accessories. If the old sailor hat does not look as snappy as you would have it, Serve Dainty Foods V P"I5 When Entertaining Prospective Brides IT WON'T BE long now until you're in the midst of entertaining all the girls who jsf wU1 be married in the romantic rS(hS month of June.

Rhody reads every word you write, and if you could jack her up a little on these things, it would make my life a little simpler." Priceless Diamond Chester, my dear, you are not wrong; there is no question of right or wrong here. But you are a man who holds a priceless diamond in his hand and turns and twists it to see if one of the facets is not a lit-tle out of line. The brilliance of your diamond ought to blind you to any such defect, , and I believe that if you could truly appreicate the woman you have in Rhody, it would. Here Is a girl who makes babies love her in school, and when their mother died, carried that love right into their lives as a new mother. She gallantly went on teaching for awhile, presumably to help you out financially, and stopped when the care of the elderly invalid, a home, a man, and an increasing number of babies interrupted her own ca-reer, or rather, replaced it with a higher career. She has given you four sons; she nursed your mother in the last hard months of an illness. She handles a job that would put some women into a psychopathic ward, and evidently she enjoys every moment of it. Six small chil-dren, and your Rhoda has spirit enough to get up picnics, to plant vegetables, to drag even the baby off to distant lovely places to en-joy an outdoor meal! As for the bread pudding for breakfast, has it ever occurred to you that when you eat two pieces of raisin-brea- d toast, coffee with cream, two boiled eggs, butter and sugar for your breakfast, you'v eaten a bread pudding? "TSN'T THERE any guidebook for wives, isn't there any school course that they ought to take?" demands a husband from Trenton, N. J. "I've got the darndest sweet wife any man ever had," his letter goes on, "and I love her. But Rhody has about as much idea of system, order, management, budgeting, as a white bunny, and if I talk about such things her eyes go vague, and she looks rather distressed, and in five minutes she's forgotten all about it. "We have six children, two girls who are mine by my first wife, who died when they were mere babies; four boys, now 8, 6, 3 and one year old, born to Rhoda and me. When we were first married, 10 years ago, my mother lived with us, and managed everything, as Rhody was still teaching. After this, Mother was invalided for two years by a stroke, and the babies began to arrive and Rhody stayed home. "I know that though she was de-voted to Rhoda, Mother must have suffered through the disorder and the slipshod ways of our house-hold, baby garments everywhere, no regular hours for naps or meals, and Rhoda as apt to give us a bread pudding for breakfast and oatmeal and bacon for dinner if the fancy struck her, or pick up the children and telephone me to meet them on some distant beach or mountain road for a picnic supper. Feels Disloyal "Writing this much," the hus-band continues, "I feel disloyal f.or as I began by saying, I have1 a darned sweet wife, and Rhody is a fine cook as well.

"I honestly have nothing to com-plain of, but although I hear other fellows at the office talking of in-surance and buying bonds, and see other women's houses neat and I come home to racket and confusion, find Rhody and the children digging vegetable gardens at six in the evening, and the baby with them in his disrepu-table basket. And sometimes I won-der if there mightn't be a school, or a course in girls' schools, that would teach them something about just the simplest sort of housekeep-ing. It must be simple, because so many women do keep reasonably orderly homes. "Now don't rip into me," Chester Heyman disarmingly concludes hit letter, "for I feel like a prude and a sissy, when I heckle my good wife about children's dirty hands at meals and comment on the state of the window curtains.

Hake Bridges Safe for Elephants By Will Bernard, LL.B If an Elephant Falls Through a Bridge, Is the City Liable? Every spring a travelling circus stopped in a certain small town to put on its show. The day before the opening, the company would stage a parade headed by a five-to- n ele-phant. The parade route, which was approved by city officials, led over an old wooden bridge. One spring day, during the parade, everything went along fine until Are the Parents to Blame If a Child Runs into the Street? A mother told her son to play in his room until she finished cooking dinner. After a few minutes, the boy became bored. He slipped out of the house and ran into the street right in front of a speeding car. The young-ster was killed, and his parents later sued the driver for reckless-ness. The man tried to shift the blame onto the boy's mother, say-ing it was her own fault for letting the child run into the street. How-ever, the court felt otherwise and held the motorist liable. .The judge said that parents can't be expected to keep their children under lock and key or watch them every single instant. His Honor comment-ed: "Parents are not required to do the impossible!" Should a Policeman Ride On Your Running Board To Guide You to the Hospital? A woman stopped her sedan alongside a traffic officer and said: "I'm taking my aunt to the hospital. Could you tell me how to get there?" The policeman jumped onto the running board and cried: "Straight ahead!" After driving a the animals came to the bridge. The elephant took a few steps into the structure, when all of a sudden it cracked beneath his weight. The huge beast dropped through the hole to a road below, and rolled over dead. The owner of the cir-cus later sued the town for the val-ue of the elephant. The local offi-cials insisted that anybody who puts an elephant on a bridge does so at his own risk, but the court disagreed. Holding the town liable, the judge said that a public bridge should be kept safe for any proper and lawful use thereof. A wealthy manufacturer gave his church a gift a huge iron bell. Grateful church officials began us-ing the bell not only for services bu. also to toll the hours. From early morning to late at night, the mighty chimes rolled out over the neighborhood. Some of the neigh-bors found this very annoying, and finally one home owner took the matter to court. He complained that the chimes woke his children, drowned out conversation, and even shook his house. The court ordered its clamor stilled. few blocks, the woman made a sharp stop at a corner and the po-liceman tumbled off breaking his leg. Later he sued the woman for damages, but the court turned down his claim. The judge said that even a policeman shouldn't risk riding on the running board, when it would be just as easy for him to get inside! Beat Fatigue With Oxygen Few Whiffs of Ozone Perk Up Mind, Body PITTSBURGH, PA. Tired house-wives, fainting women and over-worked businessmen have been of-fered new hope through experi-ments conducted by two local bas-ketball teams. The experiments seemed to indi-cate that a few whiffs of pure oxy-gen from a portable container will stop that breathless feeling and perk up both mind and muscle. The basketball teams, threatened with "slumps" from overwork, bought oxygen dispensers, used them during games and walked off with just about all the honors in western Pennsylvania. Homestead high, trailing the Al- - toona (Pa.) team 15 to 8 in the first quarter, hauled its first stringers out of the game and made them take a few pulls at the machine. At the half, Homestead led, 27 to 19, and the "oxygen eat-ers" won the game going away, 60 to 44. In another case, a woman slipped on a freshly waxed floor and cracked her head against a wall. A few whiffs of oxygen revived her faster than smelling salts could have and she felt no headache from, the concussion only a sore spot on her scalp where her head hit the wall. During the war the air force dis-covered that oxygen had almost magical powers. Although the prac-tice wasn't authorized by higher-up-s, fliers Inhaled pure oxygen to cure "hangovers." |
