to be worn securely and comfortably on the skin wherever you want them. The secret is a dab of magic liquid: (50 cents ir tubes). This goes on the specially ribbed back of the jewel, It allowed to dry for an instant and then the jewel is placed wher ever fancy dictates. . The jewels accent sleeveless, strapless fashions; double a rings; ornament ears and throats . .,. and hide vaccination marks. They may even “fake” jeweled shoulder straps for bare back dresses. The Glamour Magic jewels range from about 3% to $10, plus tax.

short stitches, long needles for basting. ‘“Betweens,” short needles with small

eyes, are used for hemming, quilting and fine hand sewing. “Sharps,” medium to long needles with small round eyes are best for general sewing and for basting. “Crewel,” medium length needles with long, slender eyes, are easily threaded. Large sizes are used for embroidery and darning, the fine for hand sewing. To keep needles from rusting, keep in wool or hair filled cushion. To sharpen and polish, run needles through an emery bag.

Pins and Thread

Fine, slender, smooth brass pins with sharp points are good for dressmaking. Better qualities are sold in quarter pound boxes instead of papers. Steel pins will rust if left in fabric. Dressmaker pins are a medium size. _ Use thread to match your fabric in color and fineness. Thread sews in lighter, so select a slightly darker shade. Black thread sews in” better on navy blue than dark blue thread. If the thread is too coarse, it will stand up from the cloth and will not make a good stitch. If sewing on heavy fabrics, or sewing on buttons, use 16 to 20 thread. For sturdy fabrics or for ‘ewing buttons, use 30 to 40 veight © thread. For finer ‘ ‘abrics, percale, gingham, inens, light weight ~wools or pun rayons, use thread 50 to {0 or mercerized ! Slip covers and sturdy fab-

rics may be sewn with mercerized heavy duty thread. Fine fabrics such as lawn, vaile and organdie are sewn with 80, 90, or 100 weight thread. Silk A thread is used on fine woolens and rayons. Nylon thread is used on nylon fabric.

Children’s Rainwear Like Adults

But the Colors

Promote Safety By GAILE DUGAS

| NEW YORK, Apr. 7—The kids lare keeping up with their elders when it comes to rainwear ... a subject brought to the fore as April showers do their stuff. ! The youngsters’ “weather 'shields” are styied to keep pace, with adult rainwear fashions.| Often adult fashions are adapted for the small fry. Colors, however, are not fash-| jon-cued in children's rainwear.) The primary concern is to give] children bright colors they'll like, colors that will help keep them safe from accidents because of their high visibility on a dark and rainy day. ? Yad for Safety The conscious use of color for safety is fully demonstrated in children’s rainwear for this spring. A hooded raincoat for a small yirl is shown, for instance, in right red. It's. double - breasted, worn clted, with deep pockets just like ig sister's, To wear with it here are white rubber boots that ip open so they're easy for a mall girl to handle herself. Bright yellow is used for rain‘ear sets for both little boys and ittle girls, It makes an all-rub-er raincoat with matching hat ind rain-tight boots for a small oy. Both coat and boots fasten yy means of four buckles. It also appears in a hooded, ‘our-button raincoat for a little 7irl. This coat has a plaid collar and plaid-lined rubber hood. Worn with it are bobby boots in bright red rubber.

guild meeting, for instance— the impact of coming face to face with a large pumber of acquaintances you haven't seen since your husband's death, all of whom would like to say something sympathetic, is hard to take. - People are more consclous of this and nore considerate of* what they say if you are dressed in mourning. 2 = ” ONCE UPON a time—a very gloomy time — every widow wore mourning a full year and many wore it for two years, lessening it to half-mourning after the first 12 months. Now, the most conventional wouldn't think of wearing it for more than a year and six months are more general. RH Mourning means all black. You may wear a veil or not, as you wish, but the old, long, crape-bordered veil is so seldom seen today that it seems theatrical and ostentatious. Short veils with narrow crape borders are still worn by some. Stockings must be black or sheer, dark gray that gives the effect of black, and no jewelry except pearls, jet and black costume jewelry is really mourning. The matter or writing let-

Beauty After 40—

Tell Need for Flattery

By EDYTH T. McLEOD

OF COURSE you want fb

to look attractive after 40

or at any age. The age that you are is the one to

consider — and you want and need and should have, things to flatter you. I attend fashion and milljnery showings so that I can see just what is offered for the mature woman, As yet they will

not really play up to the after

40 group. Designers know the need but most manufacturers will not recognize it and fail to see the importance of the more than 30 million women in the United States who are 40 or over, an 8 PY WELL, this column will keep working on this and one of these days we'll finally wake them up.

This group has both the need

and the desire for flattery, for attractive, suitable clothes and hats, shoes and accessories. Recently I saw a particularly attractive coat dress which would be perfect for after 40 flattery It was designed by Piguet, in his favorite small check In black and white wool, It fea tured two of the highlights o’ the new collections. The shaped front panel wa emphasized by the use of tor tois shell buttons, and the open to-the-waist lapels gave a tr pering line. a" » ” THIS would be the perfec outfit for you and you and you It accessorizes beautifully and has smooth, sleek style lines. The coat dress is having a revival and you should consider the flattery of this ageless fashjon. A coat dress is always smart with small furs and if

Shortly before the war, Marjorie Hillis wrote a wise and gay best-seller, “Live Alone and Like It.” Then she became Mrs. Roulston. After 10 years of happy married life, her husband recently died. Now she finds herself alone again. Here she writes of her new life with such wisdom and tact that she will help everyone who has a personal tragedy to face. This is the seventh of a series of 12 articles from her new book, “You Can Start All Over,” just published by Harper & Bros. ters of thanks for flowers sent to the funeral, or in reply to letters of condolence, is a major problem for many widows, but it is one you shouldn't shirk. y = » os ? WHEN THE number to be thanked runs into the hundreds, it seems to us entirely permissible to send out engraved cards of acknowledgement, provided that you write a sentence of appreciation, in your own handwriting, on every card except those going to business concerns, A very few words are enough.
