Homemaking— New Developments in Fabric Finishes
Interest Consumer
THE DEVELOPMENT of new finishes for cotton materials are a boon to the homemaker as they lighten her job. Several new permanent starchless finishes have been added to the list of older finishes, Wat-A-Set has been applied to heavier cottons. such as tablecloths, napkins, collars, cuffs, uniforms, etc. adds a linen-like appearance and feel, is being used in damask table~ cloths, sheets, pillowcases, suitings, uniforms, shirting, cotton dress goods
and draperies. Two of the newest additions to the field are Sorbetex and Telesorbent. The former is used cn cotton towels to make them as absorbent as linen, Telesorbent, when applied to shirtings, allows them to absorb perspiration more quickly and to dry faster because of more rapid evapoartion. Sanitizing has extended its germ- * proofing and deodorizing characteristics to mattresses, pillows, cotton batting, girdles and cotton shoe linings. Avitex is mixed with the sizing of cotton prints to prevent discoloration. Among water-repellent finishes now on the market are Wat-a-Tite, Ban-Dri in children’s wear and Zelan in corduroys, poplins and gab- ' ardines. Awnings have been made “mildew-resistant with a new radioactive finish called Lanatizing, the Cotton Textile Institute reports. Firechief is a new process heing used on awnings, too, to make them fireproof, according to the Institute.

year and my boy friend wants me to marry him when I'm out of school. He has a good job and my folks think it is all right for us to go ahead and get married. But when I see all the other girls my age having such a good time while I have to sit at home because my boy friend is so jealous I can’t do anything without him, I wonder if I should quit him and have my good times now and think of marriage later. Please try to help me. PUZZLED, * » »
Store Hours SATURDAY 9to 6
Answer—From the tone of your letter I doubt if you're ready for marriage. I'm afraid you wouldn't be satisfied to give up the irresponsible gayety of the teens. If the restrictions of ‘going steady” irk you, the greater restrictions of marriage would irk you still more. : Besides, I don’t think you find this young man particularly congenial. . His company doesn't mean enough to you to give up your fun. You're annoyed instead of flattered by his jealousy. Why don't you try going out with others and see if it is going to be as much fun as you expect?
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 18 years. I am very fond of a boy who is also 18 years old. I have found out lately that he shows much courtesy to many other girls and yet he showers his affections on me. What I would like to know is, shall I continue to let him be as he is or shall I come to an understanding with him? PERPLEXED. * * * Answer—But what sort of understanding could you come to? The fact that the boy showers you with affection doesn’t give you any rights in him at all. The moment you become possessive and ask him to give up other girls, he won't shower you with affection but will regard you as a nuisance. The last thing you should do is ask for an understanding. The trouble is that you have taken his affection too seriously when with him it only was play. The average 18-year-old boy can make love to almost any presentable girl with equal ease. When he is older he may settle down to one or he may never be completely monogamous. A woman always has to work by indirection. If you don’t like the way the boy behaves, present him with a rival. If he objects, you can call his attention to his own behavior with safety. Perhaps he will think that you are worth the loss of all the others. Perhaps he sees the justice of your move. Then again he may fear that he is getting in too deep and take to his heels. Just let him see that the one thing he can't do is tie you down without tying himself down. Never forget that there are plenty of other
boys and at 18 you have plenty of time to find them. y y Pp JANE JORDAN.
