| Homemaking— ir To Judge the Type of Sheet to Buy First Decide on Service It Will Get

SE —

* JUNE Is THE T for the. ye

their Then

“To judge the type of sheet to buy,” suggests Miss Ruth O’Brien, textile specialist of the Department of * Agriculture, “first decide what kind of service it’s going to get. That is; do you want sheets for everyday wear, sheets that will stand the rough and tumble of the children’s beds? Or do you want finer, softer sheets, more of a luxury article? When you've decided the type of sheet that suits your purpose, then study labels. Read and compare facts to find the sheet that measures up best for the Jnoney you have to spend.”

Sheets generally fall into one of five groups—the light, medium and heavy weight muslins, the fine counts, and the percales. Each serves a definite purpose. A heavy muslin sheet, for example, will be strong, sturdy, and durable. It is best for hard wear. On the other hand, .the fineness and softness of percale sheets, makes them a better choice when appearance counts and cost is not so important.

“But it pays to look carefully at any. sheet sold as percale now-a-days,” Miss O'Brien states. “If used correctly, this word when applied - to a sheet means one of combed rather thas carded cotton yarns and one very soft, fine and smooth in texture. - It weighs around 3.7 ounces to the square yard and its finished thread count is close to 100 in each set of yarns—that is, in both the warp and the filling. Such sheets very early gained so good a reputation for beauty that some manufacturers are now mis-using the word in order to sell sheets made merely of carded yarns and with a much lower thread count. This often fools customers.

. “SHEETS SHOULD always be tompatred by type of yarn (combed for percales; carded for others), thread count, weight, amount of sizing, breaking strength, length and. width. Good labels will give these facts and will also tell whether the sheet is a ‘first,’ ‘second’ or a ‘run-of-the-mill’.” . The amount of sizing in sheets varies from less than 1 per cent to 20 or 25 per Cent in some of the low . grad-.. Some sizing on the warp Jams is necessary to keep from breaking in the loom, and a little sizing makes the fabric more attractive and does no harm. Large amounts, however, are frequently used to fill up the space in poorly woven material. Such sizing washes out and leaves the fabric sleazy and thin. “Pure finish” on a label means that there is less than 2 per cent sizing. Width of hems on sheets varies from less than 2 inches to 4 inches or even more. The higher quality often have the wider hems, but the

for showers for the bride and wedding presents lhe young couple setting up housekeeping: Sheets are always popular and practical gifts for the new home. The season’s campers, getting all equipment ready, also swell the sale of sheets this time of year. there’s always the normal replacement of old and worn-out sheets. Altogether it means that buying guides for sheets are very much in order.

cago will be bridesmaids. Mr. Nave

The length of sheet ‘as given on the label is the length before hemming and sometimes a wide hem takes unduly from the length of the finished sheet. Good sheets must be wide enough to allow a generous tuck-in all around. Also they must be long enough for a good fold-over at the head of the bed. This makes the bed more comfortable for sleeping, and also protects the blankets. t = 2 GENERALLY, SHEETS 99 to 108 inches long are the most satisfactory. Some are now 112 inches. Bargain sheets are often too small and sometimes too narrow. Sheets often shrink as much as five to eight inches in length, and are rarely pre-shrunk. The 108-inch length, however, allows plenty even with shrinkage. To pre-shrink sheets would be a foolish waste under present commercial conditions. . Look for the term “torn length” on labels. This means that the sheeting has been torn from the bolt before hemming and will be straight with the weave. :

A practical and fashion-right outfit for actual mountain-climbing includes brown breeches, high boots with sturdy soles, a yellow and brown checked seersucker shirt, wool socks and a cap with visor brim. Old hands at mountain climbing advise adding a jacket or windbreaker

to wear on peaks where there's likely to be ice and snow.

It May Be Summer—but Take Warm Clothes to Mountains

; (Second of a Series)

By MARIAN YOUNG

NEW YORK, June 10.—Whether she likes to climb mountains or just sit in a rocking chair and look at them, the smart girl who spends her summer vacation at a mountain resort takes along warm clothes as well

-

as cool ones.

She knows that the nights are likely to be chilly at any mountain|S- Emerson Ave. resort. She knows that during any two-week period there will be at least a few coolish days, particularly in a place of unusual altitude.

Therefore, a coat heads her shopping list. In searching for it, she looks at casual, loose and possibly brief models which may be worn over slacks and dresses as well as over dance frocks. For a mountain resort where more time is spent looking at the mountains, splashing in the lakes, strolling in the valleys, and taking short walks on country roads, the four-piece, lightweight flannel outfit can’t be beat. It includes a skirt, slacks, shorts and a jacket. And, with three or four cotton shirts and maybe a sweater, it can well be the backbone of the mountain vacation wardrobe. Also for the none-too-rugged vacation in the mountains, the chic

ried for nearly a year to a well-known and respectable man. Although he is older than I we fall more deeply in love each day. My. husband was orphaned at an early age and he and his brothers made a home for their sister who lives with them still. She has been married and divorced twice and has one son now in college. I understand that it is hard for her to see her brother’s love given to another and to have another woman in the house she has taken care of for 20 years and more. She is a poor housekeeper whereas I am a strict one. She lets the work go and tells me she will do it when she gets good and ready. Because of finances my husband asked her to work just to help herself and her son. She threw herself on the floor and when I went to help her she cried, “You get a ‘home and a husband, too, while I am left out in the street.” I packed up to leave my husband, the best any woman can have, but he asked me just to take care of my own things and room and look after him and let her do the work. We made up and love each other the same if not more but the tension is wrecking me. She won't speak to me. I stay in my room and cook after she and her son have eaten. I can’t bear to hear her voice. We cannot keep up two homes. Shall I try to wean my husband away or leave him until he wakes up? ’ + A PUZZLED WIFE.

# ” ” Answer—To leave would be to admit defeat. Why should you turn your husband over to a selfish, parasitic sister who willingly would wreck his life in order to live in comfort herself? Make up your mind that come what may your place is with your husband and you are going to stick by and help him work out this

.problem. If anyone leaves, let it be the sister, for it is high time she

took some of the responsibility for herself and son. Con'rol your nerves and get in and pitch. Come out of your room and take charge of the house which belongs to you. Do the housekeeping in your own way and insist upon adequate help from the sister. You lack courage:in your dealings with her, and she knows how to win a victory over you. Tell her exactly what you expect of her and see that she does it. Let her hide in her room if she doesn’t like it, but you take charge of the house. Ignore her tantrums and do not quarrel. : ; Quietly insist that she get herself a job and contribute to her own support and her son’s. You'll have a few bad scenes but you'lt be surprised how quickly she will calm down when she sees you mean business. As it is she is trying to drive you out of the house without regard to her brother's happiness. Turn the tables as kindly as pos-

girl takes simple cotton dresses, a couple of dresses for dinner and dancing, if any, and outfits for fish-

ing, golf, tennis, or whatever sports she intends to try her hand at. The active mountain climber, on the other hand, takes a regulation mountain climbing outfit, consisting of high laced boots with thick, sturdy soles which won't skid on the rocks and crags or permit bruises on the soles of the feet. She wears breeches of material that is light enough to be comfortable during actual climbing, but with enough warmth for comfort at the top of the highest range. She wears a cotton shirt or a lightweight sweater, depending on the weather, leather gloves and light wool socks. And she carries a jacket—windproof but lightweight. 2 2 2 IN MOST OF the lodges where real mountain climbing addicts spend vacations, silk or lightweight wool street dresses or beautifully tailored slacks are worn for dinner. If you don’t know anyone who has stayed there the simplest way to

dress for dinner is to write and ask

the proprietor of the lodge where you have made reservations.
