Charming Cotton Styles Keep

You Cool and Your Budget Down|

WASHABLE SPORTS CLOTHES and washable dresses for both day and evening point the way to the crisp-as-lettuce lcok that the smart woman has resolved to achieve during hot summer months. Coats, suits, dresses and accessories, as well as slacks, play suits and beach robes, which come out of the wash looking as fresh as dew, can be counted on to simplify summer grooming-problems. Furthermore, washables solve the budget problems of the girl who has - to have a country as well as a city - wardrobe. They permit her to have a good selection of gay, colorful slacks and shirts which, although well tailored, are not expensive. They’ permit her enough shorts, bathing suits, golf and tennis dresses to see her through any amount of week-ending in fine - style. _ New and smart in the collection of washable summer fashions are coveralls—for fishing and sailing.

white, brown and white, or gray and white striped seersucker dresses. These are shirfwaister types, of course, with gored or pleated shorts and long shirts which will stay tucked in, and plenty of tennis dresses, both sleeveless and longsleeved. : ; A new process — electrical embroidery—adds a luxury accent to | popular-priced cottons for clothes for all hours of the day.

A hand-embroidered look is achieved. > Whether she takes her cotton plain, printed or electrically emE | broidered, the girl who has decided to wear washables for work, shopping, play and dancing makes a business of learning how to wash them. She (carefully follows washing instructions on the tags. If the instructions advise use of cool water, she doesn’t. use lukewarm water. She -never hangs colored clothes in bright sunshine. She never pins them to the line with clothes pins. Her clothes are put on shoulder-shaped hangers to dry, and they are patted and fingerpressed into shape while still damp on the hanger. : This makes ironing easier and is insurance against stretching and = | sagging.

The Question Box

Q—How may I fireproof overalls? Mrs. T. J. C. A—For fireproofing fabrics, use 1 pound of ammonium phosphate and 2 pounds of ammonium chloride to 1'2 gallons of water. For delicate fabrics, 10 ounces borax and 8 ounces of boracic acid per gallon of water is recommended. The cloth in either cases should be immersed in

These were inspired by the uniforms of garage mechanics and are one- | piece: with set-in belts between shirts and trousers. Cotton corduroy sports coats are a boon to the budget-minded. A well-designed corduroy swagger—in red, sandy beige, royal blue or gray —may be worn over everything in a summer wardrobe, from slack suits to evening dresses. And corduroy is easy to wash and press back into shape. 2 z =

Home, Sweet Home, Without

A Man Around

By RUTH MILLETT

GIRLS ARE BEGINNING to realize that it isn't necessary to have a husband in order to be as domestic as they please. They have at last realized that a woman's desire for a home and having her own things about her needn’t be squelched just because there is no man to share it. And now they are waking up: to this fact, unmarried women are beginning to build more real and lasting backgrounds. for themselves.

JANE JORDAN

. DEAR JANE JORDAN—I have a very special girl friend and I would not want to hurt her for the world; so I am hoping you will _ give me some advice so that-I won't have to. She is a nice person and very attractive. It isn’t hard for her to get dates and she always has several bids for any one occasion, She has gone with a very nice boy and is having dates with him at present. The boy, I know, is simply crazy about her and says he always will love her. - My girl friend won't admit that she likes him and says he is only a good friend. However, if this boy doesn’t call, or if she sees him with another girl, she .is quite hurt and often cries. I know that they would make & swell couple if only they would get together. Do you see any reason why they uldn’t hake a go of it, even though they've tried before and faded? I wouldn't want to . tell her how I felt about the matter as I am afraid she might feel as though I were interested in the boy which I definitely am not. I just don’t want to see two swell kids ruin their lives because of stubbornness. Please advise me what to do. ALICE,

” » ” " ” ” Answer—It never is wise to meddle in the affairs of others even when you're asked to do so and you haven't been asked. On the surface it may look as if your friends would make an ideal couple but you have no way of knowing that you're.right. The stubborn qualities - which you observe in the young lady might prove to bela severe handicap to harmonious co-operation. So far the young man has proved himself to be inadequate to the task of handling her resistance. After all, is this as good a match as you think? It may be that the girl is spoiled by too much attention. It may be that she has no real interest in the young man and that her tears are far her own pride rather than grief at being separated from him. Her sole interest may be jn keeping his scalp on her belt. If I am wrong and she does love the man, she will give up of her own accord. . . ‘ At any rate the whole problem comes strictly under the heading of their business. If they can’t get together why should you worry? The role of peacemaker may make a’ strong appeal to your nature but it is one which you would do well to renounce. Better tend to your own knitting and let your friends’ alone. JANE JORDAN, )
