A Bushs

nd Discovers His Shirts

Are Reincarnated as ‘Aprons

. THERE WAS FIRE IN HIS EYE. “What happens to my old shirts?” he demanded. ' “Do you cut them into dustrags or give them to the maid

‘for her boy friends?”

“I wear them myself, my dear,” his wife returned. “In fact, if you look closely, you will see I'm wearing one this very moment.” ~ And so she was. The shirt, ‘however, was no longer a shirt, but a

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 32 « years old and live at home with .my folks. I have a kid sister in high school:who makes life miserable for all of us. I have. worked ever since I- left grade school. I haven't a high school education or I would join the WAVES. I would like to get away from home and meet people my: own age. I get so lonesome I feel as though I will die. I made friends with a ‘young fellow in the navy some time ago. My sister started throwing slurs at me because he is younger than I am. Do you see anything wrong in ‘being friends with some one younger? After all everyone is in the service. I simply can’t understand what ‘is wrong with my sister. She doesn’t want me to have any friends. If I have any phone calls she says. I'm not at home, but she goes out all of the time. If I meet her in public with: any 6f my friends she makes slurring remarks and em‘barrasses me to death. What do you think of this situation? DISGUSTED. » » H Answer—You must have been an adolescent girl when your sister was . born and none too pleased at the advent of a baby in the family.

I mention: this because the rivalry| .

between you and your sister is 9

long standing.

You, as a young girl, did not receive your baby sister graciously ‘(few girls do) and she, as the

= spoiled darling of the family, re- . sented the fact that she was no pet

to you. Her efforts to retaliate by _ belittling everything you do are obvious. It would be very good for you to . get away from home and lead an “independent life. Even though you cannot join the WAVES you can work in a defense plant and make enough to establish your independence. Your years of experience are an asset and riow is the time to cash in on them. . Your sister’s youth and popularity tend to make you feel like a has been whereds you are only 32 and - not ready to fold up. A mature “woman is more attractive to mature men than a giddy girl. Actually you shouldn’t let your sister’s animosity upset you so much, but since you do, strike out on your own. : When you make friends with a * younger man she feels that you are "intruding on her field and her only comeback is to make fun of you. If you were away from home you could ~ make friends with people of any age without the bother of family - criticism, JANE JORDAN. Put your problems in a etter to Jane

Shirt to Pinafore THE WIFE UTILIZES her husband’s shirts in many ‘different

types with ruffled cap sleeves; another style is the half apron made from a shirt tail, and still another is the half apron with bib and neck band. The latter can be made from a tail and a sleeve. Hubby retired, but there was a challenge in his expression. He wanted to know if some of the ladies can’t whip up men’s shirts from old wedding dresses and silk nightgowns. The episode, however, had one happy aftermath. The manufacturer from whom hubby bought his shirts, learning of the conservation measure, has turned out a group of sketches available to housewives who ‘want to make some shirt-aprons of their own. s tJ 5
