Save On Children's Clothing LAFAYETTE — The wise shopper can save as much as 50 per cent at the after-Christmas sales in late December and early January. However, a sale does not always mean money saved, particularly when buying children’s clothing, says Billie Ellsworth, extension clothing and textile specialist at Purdue university. It can be difficult to buy for young growing children at sales as it is nearly impossible to predict their growth rate and the size they will need the following season. If at mid-season, however, you find your child needs certain items of clothing or has already outgrown those purchased at the beginning of the fall, the after Christmas sales can provide good buys, particularly if garments are purchased with growth in mind. Since children grow much more rapidly in length than in width, design features which allow leeway in length are more important than those which allow leeway in width. For lengthwise growth look for: — deep hems in skirts and adjustable cuffs in trousers — dresses and trousers with tucks at the waistline to lengthen the bodice or the crotch — jumpers or trousers with adjustable long straps or suspenders so that buttons can be moved to give additional length — dresses with undefined waistlines such as a loose fitting A-line, a lowered waistline or a raised waistline. —two piece outfits such as skirts and blouses, or shirts and trousers, or pajamas. If these are made with two or three rows of buttons, one below the other, it can give two or more inches of growing room. — adjustable cuffs and sleeves or pant legs particularly on winter coats — long tails on shirts and Houses Garments which provide for growth in width: — raglan or kimono sleeves — sleeveless designs (such as jumpers) — elastic waistbands or waistbands that can be adjusted — double breasted styles designed in such away that buttons can be moved to allow for growth — tucks, pleats, or gathers at the shoulder line — wide seams designed to be let out as the child grows — stretch or knitted fabrics Girls’ blouses with long full sleeves often allow for more lengthwise variation than does a straighter shirt style sleeve with a fitted cuff. This is particularly true if the long full sleeve is finished with elastic and a ruffle. Short sleeves or sleeveless designs usually can be worn for a longer period of time than long sleeves with a closely fitted cuff. Garments that allow for very little leeway in bodily dimensions are designed with: — defined waistline — set-in sleeves — tight cuffs or bands — narrow hems or cuffs — closely fitted bodices

The Moore home is one of several on this year’s Syracuse-Wawasee Garden club’s Christmas Bell Walk. Mrs. Moore will be showing decorations of a traditional manner which she has collected over 25 years. The Walk will take place on Sunday, Dec. 10. Third Christmas Bell Walk Set By Syracuse-Wawasee Garden Club

Final plans are being made for the third Christmas Bell Walk by the Syracuse-Wawasee Garden dub according to president Mrs. Ralph Clingaman. Sunday, Dec. 10, has been selected as date for the walk between the hours of 2 and 7 p.m. A tour of five area homes has been planned to share Christmas ideas and to encourage celebrating the Holy season in the home. Refreshments will be served and Christmas items will be sold. At the home of Mrs. Jean Brown, Wawasee Heights, the traditional family decorations will be featured plus two Christmas trees. In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Prickett and family in Syracuse, the Prickett children will do the decorating under direction of Kirk and the entire first floor will be gayly decorated for a family Christmas. — very tightly woven fabrics When shopping for children’s clothing at seasonal sales it is particularly important to consider leeway for growth while buying a garment that fits in the first place. Sometimes garments can be purchased with growth features that will allow for wear spanning two seasons. Such might be a child’s coat with raglan sleeves and adjustable hem and sleeve length in a style that is full enough to allow for horizontal growth. On the other hand, some garments can be purchased with the thought in mind that minor adaptations can make them wearable the following season such as shortening a coat to a jacket or removing a bodice from a dress and making it into a skirt or removing the sleeves from a dress to turn it into a jumper. Whatever your clothing choice, be sure to check for quality of fabric and construction. Children tend to be hard on clothing, reminds the specialist. LAKELAND LOCALS Mrs. Earle Waltz of Lake Wawasee left today (Wednesday) for Fort Collins, Colo., where she will care for her grandchildren, Patterson and Shelley, for a week while their parents, Dr. and Mrs. James Waltz attend a geologic meeting in San Francisco.

Bedspread Should Be Durable By JOYCE ROARK Copley News Service One household textile that gets very little publicity is the bedspread. Bedspreads get more wear than one may imagine. Teenagers sit on their beds to do homework, listen to music, talk on the phone, etc. When traveling, guests put their suitcases on the bed to pack and unpack them. Clothes get put on the bed for various reasons. So as you can see, bedspreads get a great deal of abrasive wear. Next time you need to purchase a bedspread look for one that is made of a fabric that is firmly woven. It should also be colorfast and shrink resistant. Check the label or hangtag to be sure. Look for such words as PRESHRUNK, 2 PER CENT SHRINKAGE, etc. Vat-dyed cottons and solution dyed rayons and acetates have excellent colorfastness. Check for neatly finished edges. Securely sewn trim and close stitching are important if the spread is quilted. Check the entire surface, top and bottom, of a quilted spread to be sure that there are no broken threads. Ribbed cotton or a polyestercotton blend spread with a Durable Press finish will wear well and will stay neat looking between washings. This type of bedspread comes in bright colors and is fairly inexpensive. They are ideal for children and teenagers. Laundering of quilted bedspreads can be a pro Hem. If the filler is polyester and the outer fabric is washable, then the spread can be machine washed. Check the hang-tag to be sure. If the outer fabric is rayon, acetate, or linen, it will probably have to be drycleaned. Many labels will say MACHINE WASHABLE, HAND WASHABLE, or DRY CLEAN ONLY. A few give exact laundering directions. Mattress size Twin — 38” x 75” Double (Full) - 53” x 75” Queen — 60” x 80” King - 72-78” x 8044” Approx, bedspread size 80” x 110” 95” x 110” 105” x 120” 115” x 120”
