VERSATILE TREND—Don’t let your husband, brother or son

throw away that old shirt. A little ingenuity plus scissors, needle and thread can transform any number of shirts into a variety of accessories. This news will be especially valuable to the tall girl who can never keep her shirt tails where they belong. Imagine, for instance, the many uses of a tuck-in blouse like the one

shown (left). Easy to make, it

looks chic with a full skirt and

wide belt. And if you are a short nightgown enthusiast a madeover man’s shirt will make an attractive addition to your collection (center). If you happen to be dealing with a shirt that is too worn to be of much value as a blouse it still has possibilities. Cut it down to the size of a serving apron (right). For color and design sew contrasting rick rack along the bottom.

Makeover Magic: Men's Shirts Fit Your Wardrobe

EV LEE underestimate the possibilities of a man’s shirt. With very lit-

tle effort and cost it can be transformed into a blouse, nightgown, serving apron, and a variety of other fashionables, Even if you're not an experienced hand with a needle and thread, you will find the makeover magic easy and fun to do. Gather together a bundle of discarded shirts, and go to work. ; ~ . y START with a tuck-in blouse. Cut off the sleeves, and cut across the shirt three and onehalf inches up from the underarm. Try the shirt on over a slip, and pin it in place at the upper armhole edges. Pin three pleats in each shirt front, eight in back. Mark the natural waistline. Then remove the shirt, and baste the pleats, pressing away from centers.

Salads Spice

Forget Heat, You're Beat

UGUST is a good month to sow seeds for perennials such as delphiniums

and pansies and quickgrowing greens such as lettuce and spinach. Chief causes of failure to guard against are too much sun and heat on tender seedlings and the low fertility that slows growth, You can take care of the first in a variety of ways. Some gardeners provide plant protectors for late seed beds. A favorite gadget is the lathe cover that lets sun and shade alternately pass over the seed-

lings. ~ ~ ~ MANY GARDENERS sow late lettuce in the shade of

house or garage. Even better is mottled shade under a tree. In that. case soll must be doubly enriched if you want a crop.

Poor soil causes failure by slowing growth. So prepare late seed beds with special care. Add peat moss or compost or ground cobs or chemical soil conditioner to loosen hard ground. Then | enrich it with complete chemi- | cal fertilizer.

When sowing seed in hot

weather, water seed bed or row thoroughly. Sow seed. Cover

with fine soil or sand so ground

does not bake or crust over before seedlings can get through. Water only when ground is quite dry once seedlings have appeared. Danger of damping off is just as bad in August as in spring.

Only one last thing to remember as you- start the project. It will be. much wiser if you do not mention it to the men in your family.

Shoes Have Always Attracted Male Glances

HE GAY young thing who adorns her feet in glamorous shoes of richly

colored leather to draw admiring male glances may think she’s quite the modern miss— but history shows it's been always so, with variations.

Leather shoes have been a form of adornment and a vehicle of romance down through the ages. Leather sandals have been found in the tombs of Egyptian princesses—and they differ hardly at ‘all from the leather sandals being worn by millions of style-conscious women this y#ar.’ In Sonora, Mexico, when a

market but don't —f

young blade appears in" public wearing a pair of red leather shoes, it means he is looking for a wife. » - » IN SICILY, maidens, determined to secure a spouse, would place a pair of leather shoes under their pillows at night— and may still do so: In central Turkestan, once you've decided on your helpmate, you have to give Papa a pair of leather shoes to seal the bargain. In Japan, it's Mama who gets the shoes. In parts of Wales, it's not Papa or Mama but the bride herself who gets the shoes.

Member Master Furriers’ Guild of America, Ine. :

° Ey

“Custom dictates that the bride-

groom's first gift to his beloved after the marriage ceremony

must be a pair of leather shoes. And in ancient Babylon,

when a wife wanted to get rid of her ever-loving, all she had to do was strike him with a shoe. What he did at that point is lost in antiquity.

» = - AND IN CEYLON —all wives please note—it was against the law for a man to buy a pair of shoes without his wife's consent. Quote this bit of ine formation the next time friend husband objects to your accompanying him on a shopping trip.
