Repellent Fabric Finish

NOW THAT THE FAMILY WARDROBE must be chosen with gpecial thought for. lasting service and easily-maintained appearance, fabrics treated with a moisture repellent finish are providing the wartime answer in many types of garments. Women’s and men’s sports clothes and rainwent, children’s snow suits and Sthool clothes, made of fabrics finished with a new, durable,

DEAR JANE JORDAN—My husband and I have been married over two years. When we were married about a year we separated but went back together. After we went back together I learned that I was “in love with the lawyer I had engaged at the time of our separation. He says he also loves me. He is married but can’t get a divorce very soon because of the job he holds. It would hurt his reputation as he is a lawyer and is planning to become a judge. Should I leave my husband and , wait for the other man or should I stay with my husband and make the best of it? We have a baby now and my husband loves it very much. Please help me. L. W.

- Answer—I wonder if you do not take the other man’s declaration of love more seriously than he does. After all he admits that he is in * no position to take care of you and your child now, if ever. He might be astonished if you left your hus- . band to wait indefinitely for a rearrangement of his affairs which d be satisfactory to you. It may be that you never can make your marriage work, but you've only given’'it a two-year trial, and your child is the best reason I know for giving it a longer trial. Of course, if you make this decision expecting your husband to do all the changing while you remain as you are, no change will take place no matter how long you wait. However, if both of you have enough interest in your child to ' co-operate in making ‘a home for it, you might be g lot happier than you are. Since I do Bt know a thing about your troubles I do not know how to help you. But you certainly should try to find out what your .own mistakes are, if only to avoid ~ repeating them in the event of another marriage. A. change of partners does not always bring happiness. Many times it only brings a change of problems. Give yourself time to calm down

emotionally before you decide any-|.. No one is wise enough to:

thing. tell you exactly what to do and hope to be right. The decision is yours and yours alone. The thing to avoid is jumping from the frying pan into the fire. : JANE JORDAN ’

repellent finish, shed water and resist non-oily spots not only when

{they are new, but hold their repel-|

lency through many washings and dry-cleanings, making expensive,

sary. The finish is an advance over older repellent treatments which lost their repellent properties completely when cleaned. It is a still bigger step beyond waterproofing of fabrics which coats the material, closing its pores. The finish, made by one of the country’s foremost chemical concerns, is not a coating. Instead, it is held within the fibers, becoming part of the fiber itself. Therefore it does not impair the porosity of the material, but allows the air to circulate through —an important factor in wearing comfort. ‘ 2 #

Sponge Off Stains

GARMENTS so treated are said to stay clean longer and are more easily washed. Non-oily spots and stains, such as fruit juices, are easily sponged off with a damp cloth and the fabric also is said to resist absorption of perspiration and be less likely to get wrinkled and creased than untreated materials. The finish is applied to fabrics in textile mills, before they are made into garments. Treatments can. be given to cotton, linen, spun and filament viscose rayon, pure silk and mixtures of these fibers. Among the fabrics on which it is used are poplins, gabardines, broadcloths, twills, corduroy, coverts, spun rayon suitings, sueded fabries, printed and woven cotton plaids.

We, the Women— Keep a Record Of Family's War Work

By RUTH MILLETT Times Special Writer EVERY HOUSEWIFE in America ought to keep a “production record” for her family. On it she should list, month by month, exactly what her family has contributed to the war effort. The different headings for the home production | «3 record could be . something like i this: © SALVAGE: Under that, the k housewife could + list by weight the amounts of scrap metal, rubber, fat, etc. turned into the government by the family unit. SERVICE: Under that would be listed the hours each member spent during the month on war or community work. Papa’s air raid warden meetings would be included, and so would Junior's Saturday mornings spent collecting scrap for the Boy Scouts. SAVING: Under this would be}. kept a record of the war bonds and stamps bought, by the family. SACRIFICE: Here would be listed the things different members of the family had willingly given up in order to contribute to the war effort. Both material things and pleasures could be listed: a movie that Junior

woman's club that Mama dropped to take a course in home nursing.

THE RECORD should be out in plain. sight, where every member of the family can see it. <The ' family might be a little ashamed of its record the first month or two. For it is surprising how little a family can do and still feel it is doing its part—if there is no printed record to show up how small a contribution has been made. But if every month a family sets a new goal for itself and determines to beat last month’s record, it will begin tos make a substantial contribution to the war effort. How about starting a family production chart tomorrow?

will be just as attractive and far more cuddly due to the inventive genuis of Mei Doaw Lea. And oddly enough, the status of Miss Lea, who designs dolls for Fleischaker ‘and Baum, one of the largest ‘doll manufacturers in the country, is about the same as that of her priority doll, which she calls Sugar Pie, the victory doll. She wouldn't be here if it weren't for the war.

Father in Chiang’s Army

Miss Lea is the tall, attractive, 24-year-old daughter of a Chinese Jather, now active in Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s army, and an American mother. She was born in Soochow, China, and lived a thoroughly Chinese life until she was 14, when she came to this country to be educated, Her idea at that time was to study designing and work here for perhaps two years to learn American methods of production, then go back to China and “open a dress salon like you have here,” she said today. Miss Lea, it developed, is very much upset about the present trend of Chinese women’s clothes. “I would definitely like to keep the old hand embroidered bands and the hand woven fabrics that are rapidly disappearing because of machines. Hand blocking and design are arts of the Orient, ancient and traditional arts, and they should be preserved.”

Chinese Style

According to Miss Lea, women’s styles, in orginary circumstances, change from year to year in China, just as they do here.

dress, is a new dress. They've only been wearing that for eight or 10 years. Before that they wore trousers, a short jacket and skirt.” " The style points that vary from year to year, she said, are “the height of the collar, the length of the sleeves, the fabric and the embroidery. Sometimes the frogs are simple and sometimes they're very elaborate, copied from flowers and fruit.” ’ Miss Lea also revealed that Chinese women watch their diets so that they can wear their long slender dresses without bulging in the wrong places. “We're naturally slender. We eat more vegetables and less starchy foods than you do, but we watch ‘our diets, too. Women are much the same everywhere, very vain,” she added with a grin. Becomes Designer

However, the war upset all that and Miss Lea entered the fashion designing field in New York instead. “For a time I designed lounging suits and evening clothes, but I found the field for adult clothes so crowded and the competition so cut-throat,” she said. “When I was young I used to make doll clothes for all my friends, so I decided I'd try that. I wrote for an interview and it just happened that their designer was leaving and I got the job.” That was two years ago and Miss Lea has been designing dolls and doll clothes ever since. The first reproductions she saw of her efforts were in a Montgomery Ward catalog. “I saw me; I couldn't believe it. I'm still amazed when I walk around and see my designs in different stores.
