Some Suggestions
For the Care of
Your Curtains

II you make your own window cur
talnS, be sure to hem both Selvage
edges, and not just the one that will
hang down the center of the window.
You will find that it is easier to iron
the curtains SO they hang straight if
you take this extra sewing step This
is particularly useful and important
II you don't have curtain stretchers.
Another time saver in making cur
tains is to buy fabrics that have been
pre-Shrunk. You can then measure
your material to the exact length
needed, allowing for top and bottom
hens, but not having to worry about
the extra allowance for shrinkage in
the first laundering.
Another tip on curtain care is to
shake them gently each week while
doing the general housecleaning
This removes good deal of the
loose dust and keeps the curtains
looking fresh for a longer period.
The curtains should always be
shaken before being washed, too.
Soak them for half an hour in cool,
Soapy water, then transfer them to
clean sudS that are slightly warmer
for the actual washing. Hem sec
tions, which are usually most soiled,
may need extra attention, but should
not receive any strenuous rubbing,
Rinsing should be thorough.
Hang on the line full length, if
possible, and smooth out wrinkles so
that curtains will dry practically
creaseless. If you use a stretcher,
be certain that it is adjusted exactly
to the size you otherwise you
may have to go through a second
job of wetting and stretching.

Smart Spring
Modes toBe
Featured
Saturdays Showing
To Include Latest
Leading Trends
BY HELEN VOGT.

There's one nice thing about the
fashion picture for spring: You can
pick out the very definite trends and
decide whether or not you approve.
And, undoubtedly, approval will be
the order of the day at the fashion
show sponsored by the women's
auxiliary of the Metropolitan Police
Boys Club on Saturday, January 18
The show, which will take place
at the Sulgrave Club at o'clock,
promises to stress the newest and
smartest in spring fashions as well
as those for resort wear. Clothes
by Garfnckers include day and
evening modes, many of them def
nitely rejecting the influences
stressed at the recent fashion fu-
lures show in New York.
Among these important style
trends will be suits with longer
jackets and simmer lines and a
number of cape styles. Beige and
green are indicated as the seasons
best colors and these, too, will be
prominently displayed. Polka dots
of all sizes are good, and so is the
use of knitted cardigans over print
dresses. an interesting development
for both day and evening.
Members of the organization and
number of the seasons most out
standing debutantes will model lux
urious clothes at this showing. One
especially lovely evening gown is
the Jane Derby creation with hand
painted skirt in a seagull print,
an important and unusual style.
The piece de resistance, it is ru-
mored, will be pink wool coat in a
mountaineering shade. The
really interesting part of the coat,
however, is the fox collar which has
been dyed to match the fabric! Pic
ture that in conjunction with some
of the smart, gay millinery also to
be shown and you have an outfit for
spring that is not only totally diff
ferent but also amazingly effective
and that's an unusual combination.
All the clothes to be shown are ex-
cellent examples of advance spring
modes, styles which will be seen at
the "best places" come the season
of songbirds and sniffles and
in this kind of weather it will do you
good just to look at them.

(Which is wrong, anyway.
But do keep in your mind a vision

for healthy feet.
Here's one to do in the subway

a time, make circle in the air with
your pointed toe as large a
circle as possible, so that you feel
the pull in the arch of your foot
and in your ankle. (You understand,
of course, that you are to do this

This part of our article on

you choose should be bought from
an expert =. E. not from the street
floor counter of a notion depart
ment and not at a rummage sale.
Otherwise, your purchase will snap
back at you. Years from now you'll
regret what, at that time, you'll
call incorrect corSetry."
No matter how little you decide
to spend on a girdle, go to a good
corsetiere to buy it. She won't put
you in stiff Whalebones. She'll give
you exactly the type Of girdle to
guide your figure in the right lines
And she'll tell you, too, that yea
must have firm stomach muscles
from exercise, not from girdles.
It's a sad stomach that can't stay
in without being squeezed, with
elastic.
We recommend an expert cor
setiere also because she won't let
you buy a girdle tQo small. She'll
explain that it is not only injurious
to your organs" but that all the
fat you think you are hiding will
ooze right over the top and look
worse.
Finally, we urge you to go to an
expert because the best costs no
more. There are inexpensive girdles
in all good lines; and there are
several types made especially foT
young figures. We urge you to buy
two of these and wash one of them
every week.
This is as good a time as any to
say that you need brassiere, too.
Get it big enough and buy it from
the salesperson who sold you the
good girdle!

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Use Diplomacy When Correcting
Faults of Husband and Wife

NEEDLES with her husbands tastes
and habits at her peril.
Why this is thus, nobody knows,
unless it is because husbands and
wives want to shine in each others
eyes and cannot endure the thought
that those to whom they are mar
ried do not think them perfect.
So whether you dare to try to
improve your husband on the cul-
tural things in which he is slipping
must depend upon your knowledge
of whether his ambition or his
vanity is the greater.
If he is ambitious he must know
that mans speech betrayeth him
and that he can have no greater
handicap when he gets out among
educated men than not to be able
to speak correctly.
When he messes up his pronouns
and lets go all hold on his verbs
and permits his grammar and pro-
nunciation to get sloppy, people
will not set it down just to care
lessness. They will think that he
knows no better and rate him as
an ignoramus.
So, not only because your respect
for him, but his whole future sue
cess depends upon his being made
to realize that he is falling back
culturally instead of going forward
I think you should run the risk of
offending him by making him see
what mistake he is committing
Perhaps he doesn't realize that he
Is talking like an uncouth laborer
instead of an educated gentleman.
1t takes thought and effort to keep
up our vocabularies as well as our
looks, but it pays.

Flattering to every type of figure!
Smart for any daytime occasion!
Well adapted to both silk and wool
materials! This beautifully de-
signed dress is one of the best every
day ideas you're likely to see in a
whole season. It's particularly smart
made up in two colors, so that
the breadth of the shoulders is
stressed, making the waist look
smaller; contrast is so popular this
season. But it's charming, too, in
one color-a dress you'll repeat sew
eral times in different materials,
and wear with increasing joy.
Spun rayon, sheer wool, fiat crepe
and prints are smart for this. Soft,
rather than crisp, materials give full
value to the gathers, so placed as to
create a pretty figure line.
