(This article, “How to Order a Pattern in Your Size’ is the first of six on
home dressmaking.) SEWING AT HOME requires ho special skill. You neédi't bé an expert in order to follow a dress pattern any more than you need to be & highly paid chef in order to follow a néw récipe. In sewing, just as in cooking, accuracy is all important. . To begin with, select a pattérn which is easy to sew. Many of the patterns which are shown in our ddily pattern service are designed with beginners in mind and require thé least possible fitting and the siffiplest of finishing: YOUR PATTERN SIZE First off, you must order thé right size. Since pattérn sizes and ready-to-wear sizés vary, it is best not to judge the pattern sizé you require by that which you buy in ready-made dresses, but measure your figure (or the figure of thé child for whoth you plan to sew), and fromm the meas ents, determing thé size to order. While You dre making méasurements it will he a good idéa to fill in the completé chart wé have printed, at right. tor yon will need ail of this inforthation &s you proceed with your dressmaking. Put the name of thé person measured on the chart, keep it for future reference. DETERMINE SIZE Consult the Pattern Sizé Chart given, at @e » for the size best suited to the measurements you Mave taken. e bust measurement is the guidé for maturé sizes while collarbone to floor is the guide for small childrén’'s sizés. ORDER YOUR PATTERN As wé have pointed out before, begin with an easy pattern. You'll seé easy pattérns regularly in our pattern service. Select ohé you like, verify the sizé and send for it by mail. Complete instructions for ordéring it d4ré printed directly bélow the description of thé pattern in the néwspaper. SELECT MATERIALS In the pattern information which you will find béneath thé picture are usually several suggestions for the material suitable and always complete information for thé yardage and amount of trimmings required for the average size. So, while you are waiting for the pattern to be sent you, you can shop for the fabric. As you buy the material for a dress, select at the same time buttons which will be attractive with it and, any trimming materials such as bias fold tape, rie rac, edging or embroidered braid which is suggested. Also, you will nééd a spool of thread to match, possibly fasteners. The woman who sews at home regularly has learned to assemble all of her needs before she starts any sewing project. You will fing it most efficient to follow this method, too.

British housewives for part-time work in munitions plants: The part-time war workers—whg have been nicknamed “Helping Housewives'—are taught that in manipulating a drill which bores through hard metal they practice the same technique of using a rotary egg beater; in working another drill that bores out the middle of shells they use the same movemen: employed in opehing a sdrdihe can with
a key, according to British Press Service. Housewives are shown the analogy between kitchen scales and apparatus that tests the
exact size for the gun from which they are to be fired.

young girl 18 years old. I have been going with a very nice looking boy of my age. He says he loves me and I know I love him. We wetit steady for a while and quit because he didn’t think it fair to me to have to stay home so much. He doesn’t have a car of his own and his folks are very strict; yet he managed to go out with the fellows quite a lot. He seems to enjoy the company of fellows more than he does mine. In school he ran around with boys all the time and practically ignored me. Everyone told me I was silly to put up with it, but considered
at all because he is so good looking. Every time we have a date he acts as if he was crazy about me and the rest of the time he acts as if he didn’t care whether he had another date with me or not. His boy friends have been asking me for dates lately and he doesn't act as
me lucky to have dates with him| E
if he cared until we get alone; then he complains about it. I know he doesn't have a lihe be-| cause I am the first real girl he ever| had. I can’t stand not knowing def- | initely what he thinks of me when| I love him so much. I have tried talking to him but he has a smooth | way of arguing and he always wins. | What shall I do?—DESPERATE.

Answer—Don't take it all seriously. The boy doesn't want a serious affair with you. He dates you when he is the in mood and has nothing better to do but doesn't give | you a second thought in between times, as he has plainly demonstrated. I think you're right when you observe that he enjoys the company of other boys mote than that of girls. Chronologically he may be 18 but in behavior he hasn't out{grown the stage of development {when boys run in gangs and consider the girls a nuisance. Other {boys make no dethands on him, He |doesn’t have to spend money on {them and can run around with them | without acar. A girl is more [trotible. She gets too serious and |makes herself a nuisance.
{ Adopt a more casual
attitude
for his age, you are too old for |yours. You're too ready to settle down to one love and you act as if this were the only boy in the world. You hang on his words and believe everything he says when his actions fail to bear out his pretty statements. Atcept other dates whether you have a good time or not. The only reasbni you don't enjoy yourself is that you refuse to interest yourself in other companions. Very likely some of the other boys are more worth while than the ore upon whom you have set your heart. Don’t he so deceived by good looks. Look for other and more satisfactory qualities. This boy doesn’t have to make the slightest effort where you are concerned. He won't bother to win something which is already won. JANE JORDAN.
