The Art of Sewing at Home Is Covered by Needlecraft Book

MAKE AS YOU LEARN is the theme of “The New Encyclopedia of Modern Sewing,” a book just published by the National Needlecraft bureau. Answering a present-day need, it teaches the art of sewing for the home and dressmaking starting with the premise that the reader does not know even the fundamentals of the subject.

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 5. — Mrs. John Housewife, who wants to write to “somebody in the government” about her broken pressure cooker, can do it now—easily and with probable success. Her new friend at the capital is Mrs. Leone Bauer Crowlie, who has come to Washington as liaison lady between the OPA and 25,000,000 Mrs. Housewives throughout America. And Mrs. Crowlie is just the person to understand about the pressure cooker—because she uses one herself. She's a typical American housewife and she sits in with OPA policymakers when they draft test-tube economies which eventually become part of Mrs. Housewife’s design for wartime living. 2 2 = TWENTY YEARS a housekeeper, Mrs. Crowlie has three children and a comfortable home back in Huron, 8. D., which she left at the invitation of OPA head Prentiss Brown. Mr. Brown thought that OPA policies needed a woman's touch. She was elected to the $5600-a-year job by a national women's organization. She is Democratic national committee woman from her state and a member of numerous women’s clubs.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a young girl, 21 years of age. I met a yourig man of 22 in the army while he was here for mechanic's

training. He came in almost every night and the nights he didn’t come I would go out to the school to see him. He made love to me and talked of marriage. He ran short of money due to the fact that he showed me such a good time, taking me any place I wanted to go. That is why he could not marry me before he went back to his camp. He wanted to send for me the next pay day, but when the time came he wrote that he was afraid they were to be moved from the camp and I would have my trip for nothing as he might be shipped a couple of hours after I got there. My friends kept telling me he didn't care anything about me. They said he wouldn't write, but he did. I almost believed them and started going with another fellow, but at last I received a letter from him from overseas. He said he hadn’t heard from me since I sent him my picture, but that he had

written me several letters which I had not received. Do you think he cares anything about me? Should I keep on having dates with other fellows, or should I stop and wait until he comes home? I do love him and want your opinion as to whether he loves me or not. WORRIED MIND. ” ” ” Answer—It is obvious that the boy is interested in you but he sim-| ply isn't in a position to marry any| girl at this point. He was perfectly | right not to let you travel to a camp

expecting to marry him when he|

didn’t know what minute he would be sent overseas. His good sense in this respect is no indication of a lack of love. In your place I would listen to what the boy said and not to what my friends said. However, I do think it would be foolish for you to stay home and refuse other dates in such a situation. Write to him by all means, but why tie yourself down to a formal engagement when you don't know what the future holds at all? JANE JORDAN.

for her phone, dialed the depart ment of agriculture. “Seems like the lid on Mrs. Housewife's pressure cooker doesn’t hold so well,” she explained to a home econo mist. “Oh, the home development agent in her home town can arrange repairs? Thank you.” Mrs. Crowlie jotted down the information, then penned a neighborly, homey note to Mrs. Housewife,

” OPA POLICYMAKERS hearken to this trim, gray-haired little lady. She fought a bitter battle to simplify sugar rationing for canning and argued that women wouldn't be avle to adapt the system if points were removed from ration book 2. The men then decided to reconsider the program. “I always ask myself how I, as * a housewife, would be affected by ‘OPA action,” she explains. “What would it do to my budget? Could I keep up the {family health standards? Would a man’s plan for household economy work? I translate OPA theory into the over-the-back-fence reasoning.” Mrs. Crowlie is proud of the good, common sense voiced in so many of the letters she gets from women all over the country. She says women really appreciate price ceilings and rationing and don’t grumble.
