The making of lace is complex
and fascinating process, using as
many as 20 different steps in the max
ing, and requiring the greatest skill
on the part of the workers. When
laces stopped coming from France last
year our own factories started running
full capacity. Their output has been
helped by the development Of new
types, such as lastex laces for girdles
and by the great vogue for wells. Even
our own defense program is adding to
the demand, for. mosquito netting is
still a military item.

The Bureau of Home Economics, u.
S. Department of Agriculture tells us
that this summer will see more cot
ton dresses worn than ever before.
Cotton materials are coming out in a
greater variety of colors and patterns
and special finishes applied nowadays
change and improve the natural quail
ity of many cottons. Cotton is penti-
ful-there's a full years supply in the
storehouses now.
The main thing to remember about
cotton dress is that it will be washed
time and time again, so in selecting
your materials look for the shrinkage
facts marked on the bolt end of piece
of yard goods. If you buy cotton
materials not so marked, wash it be-
fore making it up.
Readymade dresses usually have
shrinkage facts and washing direc-
tions on printed tags. Make sure the
colors are tubfast and sunfast. Look
also on tags to find facts about crease
resistance. Crease resistance finishes
lessen wrinkling,s and help the gar
ments keep their shape and stay clean
longer.
M. Antoine, who dresses the hair of
some Of the worlds most famous wom-
Ell, says, Don't let anyone persuade
you to cut your hair short this sum
mer." He has way of turning it into
fat curls, or twists it high upon the
head into what was once called a
French twist. In the heat of creative
impulse he has designed about 40 hats,
two Of which were inspired by Garbo.
He says he is bored with the trite in
hair dresses and so like sculptor he
creates hair-do and hat to suit the
Wearer.

The interiors of the new electric
ice boxes are so well thought out that
there is a place for each different
kind of foodstuff to receive it's scien-
| tifically perfect cooling treatment
One new box has five different zones
of cold. There are porcelain and all
glass compartments equipped with
glass doors which is a super-moist
zone for perishable foods. Because of
the elaborate system of doors and
shelves there is little or no air cir
culation and it is not necessary to COW
er foods. These new boxes are
equipped with cooling coils in the
walls and bottom of the food compart-
ment in addition to the refrigerator
coils formerly found only in the ice
making department.
