Homemaking—
Modern and |8th Century Styles| Are Featured at Furniture Show}
WAR TIME FASHIONS in homefurnishings for fall and winter being shown at Homefurnishings Market this week at the Merchandise
Mart in Chicago are a direct refle “The American way of living”’—its
ction of the all-out effort to preserve love of comfort and convenience, and
its appreciation of beauty and good design. In dozens of instances de-
signers
ve turned material shortages into fashion assets and continu-
ally subscribe to the national pattern of conservation by incorporating double duty and space-saving features in styles that by their very simplicity indicate a saving of materials.
Startling innovations and experimental whims of the moment are conspicuous by their absence, and
instead the everyday demands o
this war time homemaker have been
given first consideration.
Modern and 18th century styles continue to be the consistent favorites with provincial the immediate favorite of the tradition group. In fact so adaptable to today’s needs of simplicity and functionalism, are both the modern and provincial trends that one designer has combined the two styles in a new group known as provincial modern, argcteristics are BWing. lines and interchangeable qualities identified with smart modern ‘styles, and the inand | grooved wide wood panels charac-

formality, scalloped aprons
teristic of the provincial pattern.

"Tables Important
”
ADDITIONAL INDICATION of the trend toward gaiety and simplicity as opposed to formal and ornate effects will be seen in the continued succeps of the painted, lacquered and" decorated pieces, destined to have even more extensive acceptance in the coming season. Lacquered tables, chests and desks are some of the most popular methods of adding these bits of color, particularly those with a Chinese origin, for these may be used with either traditional or modern furnishings with equal success. Chinese white and Mandarin red are two of the most popular tones to
be found in one group of tables.
These tables are doubly interest-

have adjustable legs to raise them to dining table heights and nests of end tables have been found to be indispensable to serving buffet meals. »
New Lamp Bases
AND LAMPS themselves are but a further indication of designing ingenuity as it has successfully met the wartime needs for all critical metals. Bases of wood, glass and pottery are shown again and again. In one group designed by Ray See, the lamps have even been made to serve a double duty purpose with bases designed to hold small statuettes-and pieces of bric-a-brac. New results in cotton fabrics are necessarily the high spots of the curtain and drapery market. High style designing of this fabric included new 100 per cent all cotton chenilles, metalasse patterns, allcotton taffeta plaids and multistriped patterns with new crisp fexture and sheen.

while in some lines, noticeable limitations of white and gold backgrounds which make ' use of bleaches and critical chemicals are evident. An increase of tone-on tone effects or the use of several shades of the same color in one pattern is pointed out as another outgrowth of dye conservation efforts. New presentations have only 45 per cent of their backgrounds covered. with pattern, resulting in a style trend toward dramatic wide spaced designs rather than the all-
over prints typical of provincial patterns.

NEW YORK, July 20.—First-job ture this summer.
There is some eXcitement, now, to jobs that once might have seemed terribly tame—for instance, jobs in- some of the airplane production plants where now every sixth woman is college trained.
Proper Costume Moreover, and not least consideration by any kind of figuring, your job-hunting costume is more comfortable and confidence-build-
ing, as well as better looking, than
was your pre-war sister's. For all these reasons, it would be well to give that get-up some thought before you strike out. Now, more than ever, you need to be in character. In this respect the personnel man or woman is more knowing than formerly, and the competition is keener. You not] only need to look fresn, neat, competent, as any would-be working woman would—you need to show by your ‘dress the qualities your specific desired-job requires. Say you want to be a government gal . .. a secretary, or junior trainee in aircraft communications, a field representative - for the OPA. The personnel experts, consciously or half-awarely, are going to look for reliability, maturity, and good integration of personality, and they are going to look for these in your clothes as well as in your facial expression.
Wear Hat
Grooming will show these qualities, from your smart new low-and-wide-heeled shoes to your crisp hat. Snoods, bows, hand-twisted turbans are only for a girl with enough dressmaking talent to be trying out for something in the fashion business. So—better wear a real hat with your practical-but-pretty summer suit-dress. ° "Both should flatter you.. With light brown or honey hair, for instance, you might want a toastcolored hat of crocheted straw, to match your toast-linen jacket, your brown-and-white checked gingham collar, cuffs, and pleated skirt. White gloves—that are snowy white. That is the safest type of jobhunting costume for a girl seeking any kind of a job in any industry. However, if the business job you want requires someone with a lot of get-up-and-go, or someone with originality and the capacity to do her own creative thinking, then let your costume show those qualities.
They'd be well flaunted, too, if youre looking for a magazine job

Keep Child Cool With Frequent Baths
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer CHILDREN, like adults, need more frequent bathing, shampooing and face washing during summer months. The youngster who looks clean and fresh most of the time will holler about hot weather less than one who is allowed to have dirt on his face and hands and to wear soiled clothes Several hours a day.
The idea is, let them get dirty— but not stay dirty. Two baths a. day instead of one, and frequent washing of face and hands will take a lot of hot weather fretting out of almost any child.
Watch out for overdoses of sunburn. A child’s skin is much more sensitive than an adult's. His little back, sneck, arms and face ought to be covered with suntan Gil every day during the first few weeks he begins playing in the sun. Even then he should not be allowed to stay in the brightest sunshine for more than half an hour at a time until his skin gets used to it and becomes darkly tanned. . ” n ” CHILDREN’S HAIR should be washed in warm water with a liquid shampoo or melled soap, and rinsed many, many times. Between shampoos, try cleaning and freshening up your child’s hair with a clean brush into which

Is "Victory Food Special’
Consumer attention - is. being focused on this season’s recordbreaking ‘supply of poultry meat through a national retail merchandising campaign for broilers. and fryers: ‘this week.
* During the sales drive the nation’s storekeepers are featuring broilers and friers as a “victory food special” in theif advertising and display material. Farm. marketings of broilers and fryers are increasing and heavy supplies are expected on consumer markets during the latter half of this: month. The broiler and fryer merchandising campaign is designed to encourage increased consumption of this poultry meat at the time of the year when quantities sold by farmers. are great and prices to consumers are lower than. usual. The storekeepers are co-operating in.the agricultural marketing administration program for making full use of the nation’s food and preventing waste in supplies that are in abundance.
Increased Supply
During the first four months of this year 19 per cent more baby chicks were hatched in the United States than. during the same period in 1941 and 37 per cent more.than for the same time in 1940. The biggest increase took place here in the Midwest where this year 34 per cent more chicks were hatched than in the- four-month period a year ago.
“| In view of the large hatchings, the
supply of broilers and fryers to come off the farms this season as a by-product in the growing of pullets for egg production. will set an all-time high record, exceeding the previous ‘peak reached in 1941. Increased consumption of this poultry meat at a time when supplies are in seasonal abundance will help conserve pork and other meat supplies urgently needed for this country’s military forces, as well as for lend-lease shipment to the united nations and other wartime purposes.
