Homemaking—
Careful Laundering Keeps Cottons As Good As New
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE “in the pink” this year because of} the busy days that lie ahead, and one way of doing it is to feel fresh|j
and clean. A wardrobe of summer cottons is a big help in such a
ness campaign. Summertime cottons, when pre-shrunk and fast-
dyed, take tw water like a family the pre-shrunk, fast-dyed tags, and

white cottons from the colored, and
be sure of color-fastness before washing two colored garments together. Most cottons may be laundered in the family washing ma-| chine with a good household soap and water that’s not too hot for| your hands to stand.

When they've been treated with & permanent finish, organdie dimity, lawn, muslin and the sheer cottons so popular for summertime require no starching. Pique,
other medium-weight cottons should be lightly starched to make them look brighter and stay fresh longer. Since white starch shows on dark fabrics, tint the starch for navies)

variety before you wash or youll part with the glaze. Wash it in warm water with mild soap; squeeze the soapsuds gently through the fabric; iron on the right side with 2 medium warm iron, All cottons except crinkles must be dampened before pressing. If you want a shiny surface on the right side, press with the thread of the goods. This will bring out a glazed taffeta look to gingham, chambray, broadcloth, and other woven cottons of the same type. Pique, dotted Swiss, cotton lace, embroidered cottons, and all surfaced fabrics should be ironed on the wrong side to bring out the design. Fabrics on which you want to retain a dull surface also should be pressed on the wrong side.
Tricks Is in Drying
Crinkled cottons (seersucker, plisse crepe, crinkled muslin and organdie) require very little pressing, if any. The trick is to dry them so they look pressed. Avoid folds by hanging garments on the line from the waistband to allow skirt and blouse to hang in a straight line. Pin a string to each sleeve on either side of the garment to prevent sleeve and shoulder wrinkles. Ironing crinkled cottons while wet, or with a hot iron, takes out the crinkles, so

You can avoid pressings in between cleanings by dampening wrinkled places on a black poplin suit, for instance, and then putting it on a hanger to dry. The trick is to “iron lout” the wrinkles by the pressure of the damp cloth.
DEAR JANE JORDAN — (Note:
|spanks her with the hair brush when she neglects her household duties.) I have just read your advice to Worried and I agree with you that a responsible woman would try to get some system and plan her housework efficiently so that she still would have time for her appointments. If a husband is responsible enough to get out and work in order to provide a home for his wife, she should be able to take care of that home. But, if some time or other, I slipped up on these things and my husband tried to meet me with a hair brush, there would be plenty of fireworks. I simply would not stand for it. I would rather get out and take almost any kind of a job than to stand for this. A lovely home and a nice car and all these things wouldn't mean a thing to me if I had to tolerate a husband who thought he had the right to spank me every time something went wrong. If you ask me, I think it is childish of him to try to spank a woman, who has raised two children, on any pretext whatsoever. Even the most responsible people slip up on their jobs once in a while, you know. A HAPPY HOUSEWIFE * = =n Answer—Because you have a mature attitude toward life you can’t put yourself in the shoes of one who has an immature attitude. A woman who lets herself be spanked does so because she hasn't grown up. If you will recall the letter you will remember that the writer said that if she could get by with her neglect of her duties just once she would be all right. Is this a mature goal or a childish one? Somehow I suspect that the woman doesn't mind the spankings as rauch as she cays she does. When she acts like a child she feels the need for punishment, and when it is administered, she feels that all is forgiven and it leaves her free to make other childish misdemeanors. All she has to do to avoid spankings is to act like a grown-up, but apparently this is the last thing she wants to do. I imagine the husband rather enjoys his wife's infantile attitude. It gives him a chance to play father and feel master of the situation. Most men would quit in disgust, but he doesn't. He spanks anc everybody is happy including his mother-in-law. This pattern wouldn't suit you at all, but apparently it suits them, for they're still in love. JANE JORDAN. Put vour problems in a letter to Jane
Jordan who will answer your questions in this column daily.

Here it is—the triangle curl that lasts and lasts.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Triangle Curl Makes Honest-Looking Wave
A vital step in preparing it is shown (left).
A
triangular area of the scalp, instead of the usual square, is blocked off by parting and the hair of areas like this afford a close regular wave-set which makes deep and natural looking waves. A version of the “action bob” is shown at the right for a woman busily engaged in war work.

‘Don’t Let Short Hair Make You Look Like a ‘Picked Chicken’
By ROSEMARY REDDING How many women are having their hair cut short?
“Practically everyone—too many.” That's the answer of Mr. Leon, head stylist of the New York Studio
of Hair Design. He is at Block's store’s beauty salon. He thinks a lot of you, miladies, look like “picked chickens” in your short haircuts. Further that you have been stampeded by the vogue for short bobs because you believe you will be passe without one. “You won't,” he says—and emphatically. This seems like a strange bit of advice to come from a man whose firm invented the “action bob.” Its logical though when he goes on to explain. He points out that the hair is one’s most willing conspirator toward beauty. Hairdressing builds

Incidentally, he predicts long hair The time
He believes, too, that we, the
women, are passing out of the era
of wearing “little sausages”—the little tight curls. He thinks, too, that the war is bringing “sensibility” to hair dressing as well as everything else. Women, he said, are really making an effort to understand their hair. They want it to look lifelike. They want it to look neat. They may have to do without hairpins, due to priorities, and are thinking about how to do the hair without them.
The Triangle Curl
Hair stylists are studying, too. One of their recent answers is pictured above. It is the triangle curl. It does away with the “resistance” which went with the old curl made from a square section of hair. This new one is designed to not only look more natural but stay in longer. It is used in setting the “action bob.” This bob has the hair cut four and one-half inches all the way around. It is especially designed to answer the pleas of women who want a hair style that will be neat enough for duty in.a defense plant and feminine enough

He has a lecture, too, for women who have ideas like the one who said: “I want a hair-do to go with my slacks.” He goes along with plans for neatness and comfort in hair styles for women on the job, but insists they should be feminine after hours. He sums it up with something like this: “Don’t forget to defend your beauty while defending your country.”
