Match Buttons to Fabric

When buying buttons for clothes you are making, be sure and take swatch of the material along. Very often you may be intrigued by buttons entirely different in shape and color than those you had in mind, and you can tell at a glance whether they will do if you have the fabric with you.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-It was
Lord Lovus of Braithinsquate OF
some such place who lately surveyed
the city of London and regretted
that the Nazis hadn't bombed the
place level in spot or two SO the
town could be built over to better
ways.
And at times we have thought ii
would be just as well if long and
trying war compelled this country
to boil down some of it's bronze
statues for use as Understanding
with the city of Washington.
AS regards its statuary, this city
never has been able to hit its
stride. OF course the city is not
really to blame because every
statue built to Union general or
a deserving polar explorer has to
be approved by Congress if any gov
eminent money is to be used for it
so perhaps the country at large is
at fault The country elected the
congressman.
But anyway, at one stage of the
city's development there was a
spirit of gratitude for help the Ger
mans and French had extended us
in breaking away from England.
The result is that Lafayette Spare.
across the street from the White
House, is dotted with monuments
showing beautiful European gener-
ais cutting the bonds away from the

deus Kosciusko, balefully bites off
