For 'ready-to-wear waist, cuffs that
can be drawn on must be provided to
protect the sleeves AS the wear only
comes on the under arm, a good idea
Is to make cuffs from large-sized
handkerchief. One will make two
pairs of cuffs. To fashion them the
four corners are cut away and the
bias edge to fit the sleeves is bound
under the arm and secured there with
fancy safety pin. The ends at the

of this Is found in the fact that dealers

boomerangs as well as of tennis ractets
and golf sticks. The boomerang was
originally tbs weapon of wild tribes Of
Australia. Init the occasion is rare aow
when It is used with the intention OF
hurting anybody or anything. In the
hands Of an expert the boomerang Is
capable of furnishing considerable en-
tertainment. No ordinary mechanic
can construct it, and the trick of max.
ing it return to the thrower Is by no
means easy to learn. Not only must
the instrument be held at just the prop
err angle when thrown. but there must
be a peculiar twist, and the direction Of
the wind must be studied. In making
the boomerang certain lateral twists
are given the wood. and it is pitted
with notches running literally along
the surface. In throwing 1t one must
stand with the wind blowing toward
ones left front. Experts can throw the
boomerang as far as 2T0 yards and
make it return and futter down about
the head like a butterfly.
