Country Clubs Schedule Style Show, Dance and Golf Events for August

PERIODICALLY officials and committee members arouse themselves from the daily routine of golfing, swimming and tennis at the local country clubs to plan special sports events and social diversion. Among current plans foreshadowing the end of summer are those for the Labor Day week-end and late August championship

tournaments, dances and bridge parties. The Indianapolis Country Club has set Saturday evening as the tentative date for its annual mid-summer informal dance. The post-Labor Day festivities will include a dance Saturday, Sept. 6, which will probably be a formal event, one of the first of the fall. In charge of the Saturday dance are Messrs. and Mesdames Harrison Eiteljorg, Newell C. Munson, Joseph E. Cain, Henry T. Davis and Talbott Denny. = = = 8 = =

There Are British Sewing Rooms But Needles are Needed, Steel Must Go for Arms

By ROSETTE HARGROVE

Times Special Write:

LONDON, Aug. 12.—There’s a threatened shortage of sewing needles

> a little extra money to make ends

in Great Britain—a direct result of the war.

burnishers and needle-books are found in every British sewing basket.

Needles are made of steel, and steel supplies here cannot meet this nation’s armament needs, not to mention the increased demand for needles of every description. There's a gradual disappearance of! razor blades, too, but most women think that’s a man’s problem. The war-born sewing boom is due to two reasons: women are making clothes for the forces out of patriotism, and for themselves and their families out of necessity. They are making their own clothes because of reduced incomes and higher prices in ready-to-wear garments. Sewing bees have sprung up all over the country, and the more or less private sewing bees of the suburbs are all working like mad. Largest non-professional sewing organization is London's War Workroom. Maintained entirely by public subscription, its main object is to help British women in straitened circumstances. Workers are given paid employment to make clothes for the different organizations with which the committee is collaborating. These clothes are then supplied by the London County Council to women and children who have been bombed out of their homes. Several boroughs have made contributions to the Workroom’s funds, which is maintained by voluntary contribution entirely. Started over a year ago, under the presidency of Viscountess Mersey, the Workroom has since its inception enabled women to earn

ineet. Presiding over the destinies of the Workroom is Lady Hearn, who is tireless in her efforts. It was she who, right from the beginning, decided that the standard of work should be the highest.

“I wanted every woman and child who was made a recipient of our

cee

work to be proud to wear the clothes,” she declared. “We are especially particular that the every detail should be perfectly finished and the cut as good as in any West End model.”

One of the workers, Miss Liddard, formerly a highly paid cutter in a large store, has been there since the beginning and only missed a day— when she was bombed out. Several of the women employed in the Workroom told me that they had learned so much since they had joined it that they were making their own as well as their children’s clothes, “better than any ready-to-wear things that we used to buy,” they added proudly. All over England women who, before the war, used to declare that they “had no patience for sewing” are now making quite a few clothes for their families. Others are turning out trunks and boxes stowed away in attics and closets, and tackling transformations they never would have attempted before. Materials are too expensive and rare these days to be dumped indiscriminately into the “rag bag.” Hems and seams are being unpicked, old “knitteds” unraveled, either to be made into new garments for the youngsters or into comforts for the services. Patchwork is enjoying a general revival which began in the bad blitz days of September and proved a great boon during the long and dreary black-out hours of the winter. Hundreds of patchwork quilts will be proudly shown when this war is over, while patchwork “pinnies” are delighting many kiddies. Not so long ago, a girl was married in a white gown, every stitch of which had been done during the long hours she had spent in 2 public air-raid shelter. There's no stopping these “blitz belles.”

Shy Girls Can Write to Soldiers

THE RATHER shy girl, who used to get “A” on her high school theme, but who was a little too timid to get on easily with a stag line, now can hold her own with the popular girl who might have been a bit dumb, but who knew just how to look up at a man in a way to make him feel wonderful. The reason that the bright, though s h vy, young lady is to have her dav is that she’ll be better able to express her personality through letters to the soldier away at camp than will the girl whose conversa ti on was made up of
